國際期刊《分布式計算》提供了一個論壇，為分布式系統的理論、設計、規范和實現提供了原創和重要的貢獻。該雜志所涵蓋的主題包括但不限于：分布式算法的設計和分析；多處理器和多核體系結構和算法；同步協議和并發編程；分布式操作系統和中間件；容錯性、可靠性和可用性；C的體系結構和協議。通信網絡和對等系統；分布式計算中的安全性、加密協議；移動、傳感器和臨時網絡；互聯網應用；并發理論；以及分布式系統的規范、語義、驗證和測試。一般來說，只考慮原件。以前在會議記錄中提交的文件可以增強的形式提交。如果論文以前以任何形式出現過，作者必須清楚地指出這一點，并說明先前出現的形式與提交的內容之間的差異。

The international journal Distributed Computing provides a forum for original and significant contributions to the theory, design, specification, and implementation of distributed systems. Topics covered by the journal include but are not limited to: design and analysis of distributed algorithms; multiprocessor and multicore architectures and algorithms; synchronization protocols and concurrent programming; distributed operating systems and middleware; fault-tolerance, reliability, and availability; architectures and protocols for communication networks and peer-to-peer systems; security in distributed computing, cryptographic protocols; mobile, sensor, and ad hoc networks; internet applications; concurrency theory; and specification, semantics, verification, and testing of distributed systems. In general, only original papers will be considered. Papers previously presented in conference proceedings may be submitted in enhanced form. If a paper has appeared previously, in any form, the authors must clearly indicate this and provide an account of the differences between the previously appeared form and the submission.
