This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Distributed Computing, DISC 2003, held in Sorrento, Italy in October 2003.
The 25 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 91 submissions. A broad variety of current issues in distributed computing is addressed, from foundational and theoretical issues to applications in various fields.
