Preface

These are the proceedings of SIROCCO 2009: the 16th annual Colloquium on Structure, Information, Communication, and Complexity. SIROCCO is devoted to the study of the interplay and trade-offs between the efficiency of decentralized algorithms and systems and the availability of information. Over the years, the colloquium has become a widely recognized forum, bringing together researchers interested in the fundamental principles underlying the interplay between local knowledge and global complexity. It has a tradition of interesting and productive scientific meetings in a relaxed and pleasa
