DISC, the International Symposium on DIStributed Computing, is an annual forum for research presentations on all facets of distributed computing. DISC 2001 was held on Oct 3 5, 2001, in Lisbon, Portugal. This volume includes 23 contributed papers. It is expected that these papers will be submitted in more polished form to fully refereed scienti?c journals. The extended abstracts of this year s invited lectures, by Gerard LeLann and David Peleg, will appear in next year s proceedings. We received 70 regular submissions. These submissions were read and eval- ted by the program committee, with the help of external reviewers when needed. Overall, the quality of the submissions was excellent, and we were unable to - cept many deserving papers. This year s Best Student Paper award goes to Yong-Jik Kim for the paper A Time Complexity Bound for Adaptive Mutual Exclusion by Yong-Jik Kim and James H. Anderson.
