This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 20th International Symposium on Stabilization, Safety, and Security of Distributed Systems, SSS 2018, held in Tokyo, Japan, in November 2018. The 24 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 55 submissions. The papers are organized into three tracks reflecting major trends related to distributed systems: theoretical and practical aspects of stabilizing systems; distributed networks and concurrency; and safety in malicious environments.

To understand the power of distributed systems, it is necessary to understand their inherent limitations: what problems cannot be solved in particular systems, or without sufficient resources (such as time or space). This book presents key techniques for proving such impossibility results and applies them to a variety of different problems in a variety of different system models. Insights gained from these results are highlighted, aspects of a problem that make it difficult are isolated, features of an architecture that make it inadequate for solving certain problems efficiently are identified, and different system models are compared.

Networks of today are going through a rapid evolution and there are many emerging areas of information networking and their applications. Heterogeneous networking supported by recent technological advances in low power wireless communications along with silicon integration of various functionalities such as sensing, communications, intelligence and actuations are emerging as a critically important disruptive computer class based on a new platform, networking structure and interface that enable novel, low cost and high volume applications. Several of such applications have been difficult to realize because of many interconnections problems. To fulfill their large range of applications differe...

This book constitutes the reviewed proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Algorithmic Aspects of Wireless Sensor Networks, ALGOSENSORS 2006, held in Venice, Italy in July 2006, in association with ICALP 2006. Topics addressed are foundational and algorithmic aspects of the wireless sensor networks research. In particular, ALGOSENSORS focuses on abstract models, complexity-theoretic results and lower-bounds.

In recent years, scientists have applied the principles of complex systems science to increasingly diverse fields. The results have been nothing short of remarkable. The Third International Conference on Complex Systems attracted over 400 researchers from around the world. The conference aimed to encourage cross-fertilization between the many disciplines represented and to deepen our understanding of the properties common to all complex systems.
