Stabilization, safety, and security of distributed systems

Más información sobre el libro

The papers in this volume were presented at the 12th International Symposium on Stabilization, Safety, and Security of Distributed Systems (SSS), held from September 20–22, 2010, at Columbia University, NYC, USA. This symposium serves as an international forum for researchers and practitioners focused on the design and development of distributed systems with self-* properties, including self-stabilizing, self-configuring, self-organizing, self-managing, self-repairing, self-healing, self-optimizing, self-adaptive, and self-protecting capabilities. Research in distributed systems is currently at a pivotal point, emphasizing dynamic systems like peer-to-peer networks, large-scale wireless sensor networks, mobile ad hoc networks, cloud computing, and robotic networks. Additionally, new applications such as grid and web services, banking and e-commerce, e-health, robotics, aerospace, avionics, automotive, and industrial process control have emerged alongside traditional applications. The SSS began as the Workshop on Self-Stabilizing Systems (WSS) in 1989 and transitioned to a biennial format starting in 1995. As the community grew, the forum was renamed in 2003 to reflect its broader scope, becoming an annual event focused on the stabilization, safety, and security of distributed systems.
