Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Modern information systems rely increasingly on combining concurrent, d- tributed, mobile, recon gurable and heterogenous components. New models, architectures, languages, and veri cation techniques are therefore necessary to cope with the complexity induced by the demands of today s software devel- ment. Coordination languages have emerged as a successful approach, providing abstractions that cleanly separate behavior from communication and therefore increasing modularity, simplifying reasoning, and ultimately enhancing software development. This volume contains the proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Coordination Models and Languages (Coordination 2005), held at the Ins- tute of Informatics of the University of Namur, Belgium, on April 20 23, 2005. The previous conferences in this series took place in Cesena (Italy), Berlin (G- many),Amsterdam(TheNetherlands),Limassol(Cyprus),York(UK),andPisa (Italy). Building upon the success of these events, Coordination 2005 provided a forum for the community of researchers interested in models, languages, and implementation techniques for coordination and component-based software, as well as applications that exploit them. The conference attracted 88 submissions from authors all over the world. 312 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The subject of this book is the solution of polynomial equations, that is, s- tems of (generally) non-linear algebraic equations. This study is at the heart of several areas of mathematics and its applications. It has provided the - tivation for advances in di erent branches of mathematics such as algebra, geometry, topology, and numerical analysis. In recent years, an explosive - velopment of algorithms and software has made it possible to solve many problems which had been intractable up to then and greatly expanded the areas of applications to include robotics, machine vision, signal processing, structural molecular biology, computer-aided design and geometric modelling, as well as certain areas of statistics, optimization and game theory, and b- logical networks. At the same time, symbolic computation has proved to be an invaluable tool for experimentation and conjecture in pure mathematics. As a consequence, the interest in e ective algebraic geometry and computer algebrahasextendedwellbeyonditsoriginalconstituencyofpureandapplied mathematicians and computer scientists, to encompass many other scientists and engineers. While the core of the subject remains algebraic geometry, it also calls upon many other aspects of mathematics and theoretical computer science, ranging from numerical methods, di erential equations and number theory to discrete geometry, combinatorics and complexity theory.

Thisseriesofschoolsaddressestheuseofformalmethodsincomputerscience asaprominentapproachtotherigorousdesignofcomputer,communication and software systems. The main aim of the SFM series is to o er a good spectrum of current research in foundations as well as applications of formal methods, which can be of help for graduate students and young researchers who intend to approach the eld. SFM 2005 (Moby) was devoted to formal methods and tools for the design of mobile systems and mobile communication infrastructures. This volume is organized into four parts related to mobile computing, which cover models and languages, scalability and performance, dynamic power management, and m- dleware support. Each part is composed of two papers. The opening paper by Montanari and Pistore gives an overview of histo- dependent automata, an extension of ordinary automata that overcomes their limitations in dealing with named calculi. In particular, the authors show that history-dependent automata allow for a compact representation of -calculus processes, which is suitable both for theoretical investigations and for the v- i cation of models of agents and code mobility. Bettini and De Nicola s - per presents X-Klaim, an experimental programming language speci cally - signed to develop distributed systems composed of several components intera- ing through multiple distributed tuple spaces and mobile code. Through a series of examples, the authors show that many mobile code programming paradigms can be naturally implemented by means of the considered language, which c- bines explicit localities as rst-class data with coordination primitives. 284 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This monograph is dedicated to a novel approach for uniform modelling of timed and hybrid systems. Heinrich Rust presents a time model which allows for both the description of discrete time steps and continuous processes with a dense real-number time model. The proposed time model is well suited to express synchronicity of events in a real-number time model as well as strict causality by using uniform discrete time steps. Thus it integrates and reconciles two views of time that are commonly used separately in di erent application domains. In many discrete systems time is modelled by discrete steps of uniform length, in continuous systems time is seen as a dense ow. Themainideatointegratethesedi erentviewsisadiscretizationofthedense real-number time structure by using constant in nitesimal time steps within each real-number point in time. The underlying mathematical structure of this time model is based on concepts of Non-standard Analysis as proposed by Abraham Robinson in the 1950s. The discrete modelling, i.e., the descr- tion of sequential discrete algorithms at di erent abstraction levels, is done with Abstract State Machines along the formalisms developed by Yuri Gu- vich and temporal logic. These ingredients produce a rich formal basis for describing a large variety of systems with quantitative linear time prop- ties, by seamless integration, re nement and embedding of continuous and discrete models into one uniform semantic framework called'Non-standard Timed Abstract State Machines'(NTASM). 240 pp. Englisch.

Declarative programming is an advanced paradigm for the modeling and solving of complex problems. This speci cation method has become more and more attractive in recent years, for example, in the domains of databases, for the processing of natural language, for the modeling and processing of combinatorial problems, and for establishing knowledge-based systems for the Web. The INAP conferences provide a forum for intensive discussions of appli- tions of important technologies around logic programming, constraint problem solving, and closely related advanced software. They comprehensively cover the impact of programmable logic solvers in the Internet society, its underlying te- nologies, and leading-edge applications in industry, commerce, government, and social services. The Workshops on Logic Programming are the annual meeting of the Society for Logic Programming (GLP e.V.). They bring together researchers interested in logic programming, constraint programming, and related areas like databases and arti cial intelligence. Previous workshops have been held in Germany, A- tria, and Switzerland. Thetopicsoftheselectedpapersofthisyear'sjointconferenceconcentrateon three currently important elds: knowledge management and decision support, constraint programming and constraint solving, and declarative programming and Web-based systems. 324 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Digital cities constitutes a multidisciplinary field of research and development, where researchers, designers and developers of communityware interact and collaborate with social scientists studying the use and effects of these kinds of infrastructures and systems in their local application context. The field is rather young. After the diffusion of ICT in the world of organizations and companies, ICT entered everyday life. And this also influenced ICT research and development. The 1998 Workshop on Communityware and Social Interaction in Kyoto was an early meeting in which this emerging field was discussed. After that, two subsequent Digital Cities workshops were organized in Kyoto, and a third one in Amsterdam. This book is the result of the 3rd Workshop on Digital Cities, which took place September 18-19, 2003 in Amsterdam, in conjunction with the 1st Communities and Technologies Conference. Most of the papers were presented at this workshop, and were revised thoroughly afterwards. Also the case studies of digital cities in Asia, the US, and Europe, included in Part I, were direct offsprings of the Digital Cities Workshops. Together the papers in this volume give an interesting state-of-the-art overview of the field. In total 54 authors from the Americas, from Asia, and from Europe were contributed to this volume. The authors come from Brazil (two), the USA (eleven), China (three), Japan (fourteen), Finland (two), Germany (two), Italy (three), Portugal (two), the Netherlands (eight), and the UK (seven), indicating the international nature of the research field. 456 pp. Englisch.

The workshop was held in New York City, on June 13, 2004, at Columbia University, in conjunction with the SIGMETRICS 2004 conference. Although it is a workshop, the papers were conference-reviewed, with the full versions being read and evaluated by at least five and usually seven members of the Program Committee. We refer to it as a workshop because of the very fast turnaround time, the intimate nature of the actual presentations, and the ability of the authors to revise their papers after getting feedback from workshop attendees. On the other hand, it was actually a conference in that the papers were accepted solely on their merits as decided upon by the Program Committee. We would like to thank the Program Committee members, Su-Hui Chiang, Walfredo Cirne, Allen Downey, Eitan Frachtenberg, Wolfgang Gentzsch, Allan Gottlieb, Moe Jette, Richard Lagerstrom, Virginia Lo, Reagan Moore, Bill Nitzberg, Mark Squillante, and John Towns, for an excellent job. Thanks are also due to the authors for their submissions, presentations, and final revisions for this volume. Finally, we would like to thank the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), The Hebrew University, and Columbia University for the use of their facilities in the preparation of the workshop and these proceedings. 332 pp. Englisch.

EDCC has become one of the well-established conferences in the eld of dependability in the European research area. Budapest was selected as the host of this conference due to its traditions in organizing international scienti c events and its traditional role of serving as a meeting point between East and West. EDCC-5 was the fth in the series of these high-quality scienti c conf- ences. In addition to the overall signi cance of such a pan-European event, this year's conference was a special one due to historic reasons. The roots of EDCC date back to the moment when the Iron Curtain fell. Originally, two groups of scientists from di erent European countries in Western and Eastern Europe - who were active in research and education related to dependability created a - joint forum in order to merge their communities as early as in 1989. This trend has continued up to today. This year's conference was the rst one where the overwhelming majority of the research groups belong to the family of European nations united in the European Union. During the past 16 years we observed that the same roots in all the professional, cultural and scienti c senses led to a seamless integration of these research communities previously separated ar- cially for a long time. EDCC has become one of the main European platforms to exchange new - searchideasinthe eldofdependability. 496 pp. Englisch.

As applications of information security technologies become pervasive, - sues pertaining to their deployment and operation are becoming increasingly important. ISPEC is intended to be an annual conference that brings together researchers and practitioners to provide a con uence of new information se- rity technologies, their applications and their integration with IT systems in various vertical sectors. The Program Committee consisted of leading experts in the areas of information security, information systems, and domain experts in applications of IT in vertical business segments. The topics of the conference covered security applications and case studies, access control, network security, data security, secure architectures, and cryp- graphic techniques. Emphasis was placed on the application of security research to meet practical user requirements, both in the paper selection process and in the invited speeches. Acceptance into the conference proceedings was very competitive. The Call for Papers attracted more than 120 submissions, out of which the Program Committee selected only 35 papers for inclusion in the proceedings.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Eingebettete Systeme übernehmen komplexe Steuerungs- und Regelungsaufgaben für technische Systeme. Ihre Funktionalität wird durch das Zusammenspiel von Spezialhardware, Standardprozessoren, Peripherie und Software realisiert. Oft liegt der Schwerpunkt auf Hardware-Aspekten. Tatsächlich spielt der Softwareentwurf eine mindestens genauso wichtige Rolle beim Entwurf dieser Systeme. Hier setzt das Buch an und liefert einen guten Überblick über das Thema. Klassifikationen und Themen wie Nebenläufigkeit, Echtzeit und Echtzeitbetriebssysteme bilden die Grundlagen. Die Programmierung eingebetteter Systeme wird mit C++, Java sowie an den Beispielen von Esterel und Giotto erläutert. Ausgewählte Softwareentwurfstechniken wie Statecharts, hybride Systeme, UML und Hardware-Software Co-Design werden ausführlich vorgestellt. Eingebettete Systeme finden oft in sicherheitskritischen Bereichen Einsatz. Die Sicherung der Softwarequalität ist daher von zentraler Bedeutung und bildet einen weiteren wichtigen Teil des Buches. 248 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Ziel dieses Buches ist es, Managern Argumente und Entscheidungshilfen für die Einführung effizienter Techniken der Softwareentwi- lung zu geben, und Praktiker von der Notwendigkeit effizienter Softwaree- wicklung zu überzeugen und Wege zur erfolgreichen - wendung aufzuzeigen. Unter 'effizienter Softwareentwicklung' verstehen wir die - setzung von Anforderungen in 'qualitativ hochwertige' Software zu 'angemessenem' Preis innerhalb 'angemessener' Zeit. 'Qualitativ hochwertig' steht für fehlerfrei, zuverlässig, robust und voll den Anforderungen entsprechend. Unter 'angemessen' verstehen wir minimale Komplexität bei voller Abdeckung der - forderungen, bezahlbar und kurzfristig verfügbar. Im ersten Teil dieses Buches (Kap. 2 - 5) führen wir den Leser hin zum 'automatischen Softwareproduktionsprozess', durch P- sentation von Thesen und Analysen. Anleitungen und Beispiele folgen im zweiten Teil (Kap. 6 und 7). Wir schließen mit Betra- tungen zur gesellschaftspolitischen Relevanz einer Technologie, die auf Automation beruht (Kap. 8). Wie in anderen Bereichen, in denen Automation bereits an- wendet wird, haben automatische Softwareproduktionsprozesse Einfluss auf die Arbeitsplätze. Präziser ausgedrückt, es fallen - stimmte Arten von Arbeitsplätzen weg, während andere entstehen. Für Manager und Entwickler, aber auch Ausbilder, ist es wichtig, sich frühzeitig auf die Möglichkeiten und Folgen dieser Technologie einzustellen. Zur Zeit wird durch 'Outsourcing', 'Nearshoring' oder 'Offs- ring' versucht, die Softwareentwicklungskosten zu senken. 'Au- mation' in der Softwareentwicklung geht darüber hinaus. Nicht nur Kosten sinken, auch Entwicklungszeit und -risiken, die Flexibilität Vorwort VII erhöht sich, und Know-how muss nicht nach außen weitergegeben werden. 544 pp. Deutsch.
