Arcachon is a beautiful coastal town in the south west of France, and is a popular holiday destination for Parisians. The conference venue was the Palais des Congr` s, which is e located right off the beach. The conference room overlooked the tranquil waters of Arcachon Bay, giving the presentations a picturesque backdrop and providing for a relaxed atmosphere during lunch. The beach s close proximity also allowed attendees the opportunity to go for a brief stroll after lunch before returning for the afternoon sessions. There were a number of different topics covered at the conference this year. This included sessions on graph algorithms, shared memory synchronization, message passing algorithms, and failure detectors to name a few. There was also a brief announcements session where researchers presented shorter snapshots of their recent research. DISC was co-located with several workshops: GRAAL, DYNAMO, and ANR/ARC FRACAS & MALISSE. These workshops focused on graphs and algorithms in communication
