Preface

The Colloquium on Structure, Information, Communication, and Complexity (SIROCCO) is an annual research meeting focused on the relationship between information and efficiency in decentralized (distributed, parallel, and network) computing. This year, SIROCCO celebrated its 15th anniversary. Over the years, the colloquium has become a widely recognized forum bringing together researchers interested in the fundamental principles underlying the interplay between local structural knowledge and global communication and computatio
