topics. This year the focus of IRCDL was on information access and interoperability.
In fact Digital Library systems are starting to be mature, but it is time
to give a more effective and personalized access to information to users and to
improve...
Large-scale information systems in public utility services depend on computing
infrastructure. Many research efforts are being made in related areas, such as
cloud computing, sensor networks, mobile computing, high-level user interfaces
and information accesses by Web users. Government agencies in many countries
plan to launch...

(REFSQ 2012), held in Essen, Germany, during March 19–22, 2012.
Requirements engineering (RE) has long been recognized as a major factor for
achieving high-quality...
Thinking in terms of facts and rules is perhaps one of the most common
ways of approaching problem definition and problem solving both in everyday
life and under more formal circumstances. The best known set of rules, the
Ten Commandments have been accompanying us since the times of Moses;
the Decalogue proved to be simple but...
This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 9th International Workshop on
Groupware (CRIWG 2003). The conference was held in the city of Autrans, on
the spectacular Vercors plateau in the foothills of the French Alps. The organizing

The present book 1 provides a rigorous treatment and coherent presentation of
the consolidated results of the authors' work, over the past four years, on the
employment of logic programming as a representational and reasoning tool.
It comes out of a background of a world-wide research effort for at least the
past six years on the...
Traditional software verification algorithms work by using a
combination of Floyd-Hoare Logics, Model Checking and Abstract Interpretation,
to check and infer suitable program invariants. However, these
techniques are problematic in the presence of complex but ubiquitous
constructs like generic data structures, first-class functions....
Developing, testing and operating complex machinery and
repairing it under time pressure if it breaks down are some of the new
skills, professionals in many occupations have to learn as quickly as possible.
Actions on machinery and plants are trained in individual lessons
on an immersive virtual model. This paper introduces the...

(IACR).
The workshop attracted a record number of 148 submissions from 29 countries,
of which the...
