This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 20th International Symposium on Distributed Computing, DISC 2006. The book presents 35 revised full papers together with 1 invited paper and 13 announcements of ongoing works, all carefully selected for inclusion in the book. The entire scope of current issues in distributed computing is addressed, ranging from foundational and theoretical topics to algorithms and systems issues and to applications in various fields.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Distributed Computing, DISC 2002, held in Toulouse, France, in October 2002. The 24 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 76 submissions. Among the issues addressed are broadcasting, secure computation, view maintenance, communication protocols, distributed agreement, self-stabilizing algorithms, message-passing systems, dynamic networks, condition monitoring systems, shared memory computing, Byzantine processes, routing, failure detection, compare-and-swap operations, cooperative computation, and consensus algorithms.
A quorum system is a collection of subsets of nodes, called quorums, with the property that each pair of quorums have a non-empty intersection. Quorum systems are the key mathematical abstraction for ensuring consistency in fault-tolerant and highly available distributed computing. Critical for many applications since the early days of distributed computing, quorum systems have evolved from simple majorities of a set of processes to complex hierarchical collections of sets, tailored for general adversarial structures. The initial non-empty intersection property has been refined many times to account for, e.g., stronger (Byzantine) adversarial model, latency considerations or better availability. This monograph is an overview of the evolution and refinement of quorum systems, with emphasis on their role in two fundamental applications: distributed read/write storage and consensus. Table of Contents: Introduction / Preliminaries / Classical Quorum Systems / Classical Quorum-Based Emulations / Byzantine Quorum Systems / Latency-efficient Quorum Systems / Probabilistic Quorum Systems
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 21st International Symposium on Distributed Computing, DISC 2007, held in Lemesos, Cyprus, in September 2007. The 32 revised full papers, selected from 100 submissions, are presented together with abstracts of 3 invited papers and 9 brief announcements of ongoing works; all of them were carefully selected for inclusion in the book. The papers cover all current issues in distributed computing - theory, design, analysis, implementation, and application of distributed systems and networks - ranging from foundational and theoretical topics to algorithms and systems issues and to applications in various fields. This volume concludes with a section devoted to the 20th anniversary of the DISC conferences that took place during DISC 2006, held in Stockholm, Sweden, in September 2006
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on Stabilization, Safety, and Security of Distributed Systems, SSS 2006, held in Dallas, TX, USA in November 2006. The 36 revised full papers and 12 revised short papers presented together with the extended abstracts of 2 invited lectures address all aspects of self-stabilization, safety and security, recovery oriented systems and programming.
This Volume contains the (refereed) papers presented at the 38th Conference of the School of Mathematics "G.Stampacchia" of the "E.Majorana" Centre for Scientific Culture of Erice (Sicily), held in Memory ofG. Stampacchia and J.-L. Lions in the period June 20 - July 2003. The presence of participants from Countries has greatly contributed to the success of the meeting. The School of Mathematics was dedicated to Stampacchia, not only for his great mathematical achievements, but also because He founded it. The core of the Conference has been the various features of the Variational Analysis and their motivations and applications to concrete problems. Variational Analysis encompasses a large are...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Latin American Symposium on Theoretical Informatics, LATIN 2010, held in Oaxaca, Mexico; in April 2010.

The papers address a variety of topics in theoretical computer science with a certain focus on algorithms, automata theory and formal languages, coding theory and data compression, algorithmic graph theory and combinatorics, complexity theory, computational algebra, computational biology, computational geometry, computational number theory, cryptography, theoretical aspects of databases and information retrieval, data structures, networks, logic in computer science, machine learning, mathematical programming, parallel and distributed computing, pattern matching, quantum computing and random structures.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 24th International Colloquium on Structural Information and Communication Complexity, SIROCCO 2017, held in Porquerolles, France, in June 2017. The 21 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 41 submissions. They are devoted to the study of the interplay between structural knowledge, communications, and computing in decentralized systems of multiple communicating entities. They are organized around the following topics: wireless networks; identifiers and labeling; mobile agents; probabilistic algorithms; computational complexity; dynamic networks.
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.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 7th International Workshop on Algorithms for Sensor Systems, Wireless Ad Hoc Networks, and Autonomous Mobile Entities, ALGOSENSORS 2011, held in Saarbrücken, Germany, in September 2011. The 16 revised full papers presented together with two invited keynote talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 31 submissions. The papers are organized in two tracks: sensor networks, covering topics such as localization, lifetime maximization, interference control, neighbor discovery, self-organization, detection, and aggregation; and ad hoc wireless and mobile systems including the topics: routing, scheduling and capacity optimization in the SINR model, continuous monitoring, and broadcasting.
