DisCoTec 2025 is one of the major events sponsored by the International
Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and the European Association
for Programming Languages and Systems (EAPLS). It gathers conferences and
satellite events that cover a broad spectrum of distributed computing
subjects — from theoretical foundations and formal description techniques,
testing and verification methods, to language design and system
implementation approaches. The three main conferences are:

* COORDINATION 2025 - International Conference on Coordination Models and
Languages
* DAIS 2025 - International Conference on Distributed Applications and
Interoperable Systems
* FORTE 2025 - International Conference on Formal Techniques for
Distributed Objects, Components, and Systems

DisCoTec 2025 is organised by Inria Lille and the University of Lille. It
will be hosted by Polytech Lille.
