# Dijkstra-Preis

Der Dijkstra-Preis (Edsger W. Dijkstra Prize in Distributed Computing) ist ein Informatik-Preis. Er wird für herausragende Arbeiten in Verteiltem Rechnen (Distributed Computing) vergeben. Er ist seit 2003 nach dessen Tod (2002) zu Ehren von Edsger W. Dijkstra benannt und hieß vorher PODC Influential Paper Award, verliehen vom ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing (PODC). Seit 2007 wird er auch zusammen mit der European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS) verliehen vom International Symposium on Distributed Computing (DISC). Er ist mit 2000 Dollar dotiert und wird jährlich alternierend auf den Treffen der PODC oder der DISC verliehen.
