Accepted papers will be published as a volume in Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science.

We are pleased to announce that the workshop will open with a keynote speech by Tyler Close (Google) titled "You can get there from here. Using the Web for secure decentralized coordination." Tyler is the author of the Waterken web server. An abstract of his talk will be available soon.

Decentralized Coordination of Distributed Processes (DCDP) is a new Workshop, co-located with the 5th International Federated Conferences on Distributed Computing Techniques in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The workshop will take place June 10th, immediately following the main conference.

The central theme of the workshop is the decentralized coordination of distributed processes:

• decentralized: there is no single authority in the network that everything is vulnerable to.
• 
  
• coordinated: processes need to cooperate to achieve meaningful results, potentially in the face of mutual suspicion.
• 
  
• distributed: processes are separated by a potentially unreliable network.

We invite you to read the Call for Papers and to join us for an interesting discussion in Amsterdam this summer.
