About this title

Synopsis

th These are the proceedings of SIROCCO 2009: the 16 annual Colloquium on Structure, Information, Communication, and Complexity. SIROCCO is devoted tothestudyoftheinterplayandtrade-o?sbetweenthee?ciencyofdecentralized algorithms and systems and the availability of information. Over the years, the colloquium has become a widely recognizedforum, bri- ing together researchers interested in the fundamental principles underlying the interplay between local knowledge and global complexity. It has a tradition of interesting and productive scienti?c meetings in a relaxed and pleasant at- sphere, attracting leading researchers in a variety of ?elds which exhibit such interplay. This means that SIROCCO addresses topics in areas such as distributed computing, parallel computing, game theory, social networks, networking, - bile computing, peer to peer systems, communication complexity, combinatorial optimization, etc. Some of the topics in these areasarecompact data structures, informationdissemination, informative labeling schemes, distributed scheduling, wireless networks and scheduling of transmissions, routing, broadcasting, loc- ization, and others. SIROCCO 2009 was held in Piran, Slovenia, on the Adriatic. There were 53 contributions submitted to SIROCCO 2009.The submissions underwent a th- ough refereeing process, where each submission was reviewed by four members of the Program Committee. After in-depth discussions, the Program Comm- tee selected 23 high-quality contributions for presentationat the colloquium and publicationinthisvolume.Separately, fourposterswerealsopresented(butthey arenotincludedintheseproceedings).Wethanktheauthorsofallthesubmitted papers, the Program Committee members, and the external reviewers. Without their dedication, we could not have prepared a program of such quality. There were two invited speakers: Israel Cidon (the Technion) and Leszek A. Gasieniec (University of Liverpool).

From the Back Cover

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 16th International Colloquium on Structural Information and Communication Complexity, SIROCCO 2009, held in Piran, Slovenia, in May 2009.

The 23 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 53 submissions. The volume also contains two invited papers. SIROCCO addresses topics such as distributed computing, parallel computing, game theory, social networks, networking, mobile computing, peer to peer systems, communication complexity, combinatorial optimization; special focus is put to compact data structures, information dissemination, informative labeling schemes, distributed scheduling, wireless networks and scheduling of transmissions, routing, broadcasting, and localization.
