It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2012 ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing PODC'12. This year's symposium continues its tradition of being the premier forum for presentation of research results in the area of theoretical distributed computing. During the years PODC has been the stage where many landmark results that have increased our understanding of this exciting and, in the Internet era, fundamental research endeavor have been presented. In the best tradition of theoretical discovery, the insights that have been provided have not only elucidated fundamental conceptual issues but also found their way in the real world of systems and applications. The mission of the symposium remains that of providing a high quality international forum for the timely dissemination and discussion of ideas at the frontier of current knowledge in the area of theoretical distributed computing.
