It is an international symposium on the theory, design, analysis, implementation and application of distributed systems and networks that is organized in cooperation with the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS). The symposium was established in 1985 as a biannual International Workshop on Distributed Algorithms on Graphs (WDAG). The scope was soon extended to cover all aspects of distributed algorithms and is nowadays an annual symposium (since 1989) under the name DISC (since 1998) to re Âect the exciting and rapid developments in this Âeld. This year Âs DISC featured 3 keynotes, 1 tutorial, 33 regular presentations, 15 brief announcements, 5 co-located workshops and one double-birthday celebration session. Furthermore, in this edition of DISC, also the 2009 Edsger W. Dijkstra Prize in Distributed Computing was awarded.

The conference was located in the beautiful city of Elche/Elx, the spanish footwear capital and third largest city in the Comunidad Valenciana. The conference hotel was directly located in the historical centre, next to Europe Âs largest palm grove with 300,000 palm trees. Some of them can be seen in Figure 1(a), but it seems that some pomegranates attracted the attention of some of the conference attendees even more (Figure 1(b)). Elche has two UNESCO World Heritage items: the palm grove and the ÂMystery Play  (Misteri), a religious lyrical drama from the middle ages. Fortunately, the conference program arranged visits to these sights1 . More photos of the conference can be found on the web2 . The Program Committee was chaired by Idit Keidar (Technion) and selected 48 great papers out of 121 submissions (116 for regular papers and 5 for brief...
