DCC 2021

The International Workshop on Distributed Cloud Computing (DCC) addresses aspects of distributed systems and algorithms, as well as networking and cloud computing. DCC 2021 is co-located with SIGMETRICS 2021.
The “special” topic of DCC 2021 is decentralization in the context of cloud computing. The workshop hosts invited talks from experts on various aspects of decentralization, from both industry and academia. A special focus this year is on promoting excellent work from soon-to-be-graduating students in the area.
