Synopsis:

This volume contains the accepted papers from the 3rd International School andSymposium onAdvanced Distributed Systems heldin Guadalajara,Mexico, January24-30,2004.Thiseventwasorganizedbytheteamsmadeupofmembers of CINVESTAV Guadalajara, CUCEI, the Computer Science Department of the Centre of Research and Advances Studies at the CUCEA campus of the University of Guadalajara, Mexico, the University of Rostock, Germany and ITESO, Guadalajara. The ISSADS symposium provides a forum for scientists and people from industry to discuss the progress of applications and theory of distributedsystems.Thisyeartherewereover300participantsfrom3continents, among which about 20 percent came from industry. Theconferenceprogramconsistedof25acceptedpapersoutof46submissions and covered several aspects of distributed systems from hardware and system level up to di?erent applications.
