About OPODIS 2022
OPODIS is an open forum for the exchange of state-of-the-art knowledge concerning distributed computing and distributed computer systems. All aspects of distributed systems are within the scope of OPODIS, including theory, specification, design, performance, and system building. With strong roots in the theory of distributed systems, OPODIS now covers the whole range between the theoretical aspects and practical implementations of distributed systems, as well as experimentation and quantitative assessments.

Venue location info and gallery
Pavillon des Conférences, UCLouvain
OPODIS'22 has been held in the Pavillon des Conférences (Conference Center) of UCLouvain's Brussels campus. The campus is in Woluwé-Saint-Lambert, one of the greenest communes forming the Brussels capital. The conference center is a short walk from the Vandervelde subway station on line 1, directly connected from the city center and European area (14- and 5-minutes rides respectively). Brussels is at the same time the capital of Belgium, Flanders, and the European Union. The Brussels-Zaventem airport is a hub for many airlines, and a 15-minute taxi ride to the conference location. Brussels is also very well connected by train lines from all major cities in continental Europe and the UK, and offers plenty of accommodations for all budget ranges.
Travel
Travel and accommodation information for conference attendees.
By train
Brussels is easy to each by train from many European cities. The Belgian national railway service is a good source of information. An increasing number of night trains are also available.
By plane
Brussels is close to the following airports:
- Brussels Zaventem airport is a major international hub, and the closest to the city center and the conference location.
- Charleroi airport, also named Brussels South airport, is an option for budget travelers, but conference attendees must be aware that the commute by bus is not as convenient as traveling to Zaventem directly.
- Schiphol airport in Amsterdam or Charles-de-Gaulle airport in Paris can also be a valid option for international travelers, with some intercontinental connections not covered with direct flights to Zaventem. Direct high-speed trains link both airports and the Brussels center.
Hotels
Brussels offer a large variety of accommodations for all budgets and preferences. We recommend booking a hotel close to one of the stops on the Line 1 of the Brussels subway network. Our favorite areas are in the city center, around the Sainte-Catherine, De Brouckere, and Gare Centrale stops. This will also be close to all OPODIS social events and the Christmas market.
