This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Distributed Computing, DISC 2004, held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, in October 2004. The 31 revised full papers presented together with an extended abstract of an invited lecture and an eulogy for Peter Ruzicka were carefully reviewed and selected from 142 submissions. The entire scope of current issues in distributed computing is addressed, ranging from foundational and theoretical topics to algorithms and systems issues to applications in various fields.

The papers in this volume were presented at the 11th International Sym- sium on Stabilization, Safety, and Security of Distributed Systems (SSS), held November 3–6, 2009 in Lyon, France. SSS is an international forum for researchers and practitioners in the design anddevelopmentoffault-tolerantdistributedsystemswithself-*attributes,such as self-stabilization, self-con?guration, self-organization, self-management, se- healing, self-optimization, self-adaptiveness, self-protection, etc. SSS started as theWorkshoponSelf-StabilizingSystems(WSS),the?rsttwoofwhichwereheld inAustinin1989andinLasVegasin1995.Startingin1995,theworkshopbegan to be held biennially; it was held in Santa Barbara (1997), Austin (1999), and Lisbon (2001). As interest grew and the community expanded, in 2003, the title of the forum was changed to the Symposium on Self-Stabilizing Systems (SSS). SSS was organized in San Francisco in 2003 and in Barcelona in 2005. As SSS broadened its scope and attracted researchers from other communities, a couple of changes were made in 2006. It became an annual event, and the name of the conferencewaschangedto the InternationalSymposiumonStabilization,Safety, and Security of Distributed Systems (SSS). The last three SSS conferences were held in Dallas (2006), Paris (2007), and Detroit (2008).

Stabilization, Safety, and Security of Distributed Systems

Interest has grown rapidly over the past dozen years in the application of object-oriented programming and methods to the development of distributed, open systems. This volume presents the proceedings of a workshop intended to assess the current state of research in this field and to facilitate interaction between groups working on very different aspects of object-oriented distributed systems. The workshop was held as part of the 1993 European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP '93). Over fifty people submitted position papers and participated in the workshop, and almost half presented papers. The presented papers were carefully reviewed and revised after the workshop, and 14 papers were selected for this volume.

Object-Based Distributed Programming

Christian Cachin

Luís Rodrigues

In modern computing a program is usually distributed among several processes. The fundamental challenge when developing reliable and secure distributed programs is to support the cooperation of processes required to execute a common task, even when some of these processes fail. Failures may range from crashes to adversarial attacks by malicious processes. Cachin, Guerraoui, and Rodrigues present an introductory description of fundamental distributed programming abstractions together with algorithms to implement them in distributed systems, where processes are subject to crashes and malicious attacks. The authors follow an incremental approach by first introducing basic abstractions in simple distributed environments, before moving to more sophisticated abstractions and more challenging environments. Each core chapter is devoted to one topic, covering reliable broadcast, shared memory, consensus, and extensions of consensus. For every topic, many exercises and their solutions enhance the understanding This book represents the second edition of "Introduction to Reliable Distributed Programming". Its scope has been extended to include security against malicious actions by non-cooperating processes. This important domain has become widely known under the name "Byzantine fault-tolerance".

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the IFIP/ACM International Conference on Distributed Systems Platforms, Middleware 2001, held in Heidelberg, Germany, in November 2001. The 20 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 116 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on Java, mobility, distributed abstractions, reliability, home and office, scalability, and quality of service.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Symposium on Stabilization, Safety, and Security of Distributed Systems, SSS 2009, held in Lyon, France, in November 2009. The 49 revised full papers and 14 brief announcements presented together with three invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 126 submissions. The papers address all safety and security-related aspects of self-stabilizing systems in various areas. The most topics related to self-* systems. The special topics were alternative systems and models, autonomic computational science, cloud computing, embedded systems, fault-tolerance in distributed systems / dependability, formal methods in distributed systems, grid computing, mobility and dynamic networks, multicore computing, peer-to-peer systems, self-organizing systems, sensor networks, stabilization, and system safety and security.
