As interest grew and the community expanded, in 2003, the title of the forum was changed to the Symposium on Self-Stabilizing Systems (SSS). SSS was organized in San Francisco in 2003 and in Barcelona in 2005. As SSS broadened its scope and attracted researchers from other communities, a couple of changes were made in 2006. It became an annual event, and the name of the conferencewaschangedto the InternationalSymposiumonStabilization, Safety, and Security of Distributed Systems (SSS). The last three SSS conferences were held in Dallas (2006), Paris (2007), and Detroit (2008).
