List of distributed computing conferences

This is a selected list of international academic conferences in the fields of distributed computing, parallel computing, and concurrent computing.

Selection criteria
The conferences listed here are major conferences of the area; they have been selected using the following criteria:- For the first criterion, references are provided; criteria 2–3 are usually clear from the name of the conference.
 * 1) the notability of the conference has been confirmed by multiple independent sources; for example, it has been mentioned in textbooks   or other sources,  or it has received a high ranking
 * 2) the conference focuses on distributed and parallel computing (instead of having a much broader scope such as algorithms in general)
 * 3) the conference covers a reasonably large part of the fields of distributed and parallel computing (instead of focusing on a narrow sub-topic).
