Preface

The Colloquium on Structural Information and Communication Complexity (SIROCCO) is an annual meeting focused on the relationship between computing and communication. Over its 11 years of existence, SIROCCO has gained a considerable respect and has become an acknowledged forum bringing together specialists interested in the fundamental principles underlying all computing through communication. SIROCCO 2004 was the 11th in this series, held in Smolenice Castle, June 21–23, 2004. Previous SIROCCO colloquia took place in Ottawa (1994), Olympia (1995), Siena (1996), Ascona (1997), Amalfi (1998), Lacanau-Océan (1999), L’Aquila (2000), Val de Nuria (2001), Andros (200
