The International Symposium on Reliable Distributed Systems (SRDS) is an academic conference covering distributed systems design and development, particularly with properties such as reliability, availability, safety, security and real time. The symposium is traditionally a single track event held over three days with a number of associated workshops staged a day before the symposium starts. SRDS is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Distributed Processing.
SRDS was first organised in 1981; since then, the symposium has been organised in 1982, 1983, 1984, and annually from 1986.

“When the water of a place is bad it is safest to drink none that has not been filtered through either the berry of a grape, or else a tub of malt. These are the most reliable filters yet invented.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“Indiana was really, I suppose, a Democratic State. It has always been put down in the book as a state that might be carried by a close and careful and perfect organization and a great deal of—[from audience: “soap”Ma reference to purchased votes, the word being followed by laughter].
I see reporters here, and therefore I will simply say that everybody showed a great deal of interest in the occasion, and distributed tracts and political documents all through the country.”
—Chester A. Arthur (1829–1886)
“People stress the violence. That’s the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it there’s a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. There’s a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies stewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, there’s a satisfaction to the game that can’t be duplicated. There’s a harmony.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
