Preface
Self-stabilization is an established principle of modern distributed system design. The advantages of systems that self-recover from transient failures, temporary security attacks, and spontaneous reconfiguration are obvious. Less well understood are the inherent costs and design tradeoffs that accompany selfstabilization. The need for autonomous recovery, not just of entire systems, but also of individual components, algorithms, and communication protocols, is becoming more apparent because distributed systems of immense scale are presently emerging. The Symposium on Self-Stabilizing Systems (SSS) is the main forum for research in the area of self-stabilization. This year’s meeting changed the name from workshop to symposium, in recognition of some maturity in the area, which is increasingly also represented by papers at the best conferences on distributed systems. The previous Workshops on Self-Stabilizing Systems (WSS) were held in 1989, 1995, 1997, 1999, and 2001. This ye
