This book constitutes the proceedings of the 27th International Symposium on Distributed Computing, DISC 2013, held in Jerusalem, Israel, in October 2013. The 27 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 142 submissions; 16 brief announcements are also included. The papers are organized in topical sections named: graph distributed algorithms; topology, leader election, and spanning trees; software transactional memory; shared memory executions; shared memory and storage; gossip and rumor; shared memory tasks and data structures; routing; radio networks and the SINR model; crypto, trust, and influence; and networking.
