The present volume contains the proceedings of the seventh international workshop on Formal Aspects of Security and Trust (FAST 2010), held in Pisa, Italy, 16–17 September 2010, as part of the 8th IEEE International Conference on Software Engineering and Formal Methods (SEFM 2010).
Being the de-facto standard for data representation and exchange over the Web, XML (Extensible Markup Language) allows the easy development of applications that exchange data over the Web. This creates a set of data management requirements involving XML. XML and related standards have been extensively applied in many business, service, and...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Workshop on Numerical Analysis and Its Applications, WNAA'96, held in Rousse, Bulgaria, in June 1996.
The 57 revised full papers presented were carefully selected and reviewed for inclusion in the volume; also included are 14 invited presentations. All in...
Within the last few years, data warehousing and knowledge discovery technology has established itself as a key technology for enterprises that wish to improve the quality of the results obtained from data analysis, decision support, and the automatic extraction of knowledge from data.
In the first edition of this book, we focused on what we called the "High Availability Database Administrator." However, that term led G to the question of just what is meant by High Availability? As a term bandied about among database administrators, this can have different meanings depending on who is interpreting it, who has to...
concerned with the study of the development and use of advanced information
technologies and systems for national, international, and societal security-related
applications. In the past few years,we have witnessed that ISI experienced tremendous
growth and attracted significant interest involving academic researchers in
related fields...
Test-Driven Infrastructure with Chef demonstrates a radical approach to developing web infrastructure that combines the powerful Chef configuration management framework with Cucumber, the leading Behavior-driven development (BDD) tool. Learn how to deliver real business value by developing infrastructure code test-first.
Ad hoc and sensor networks continue to have a growing impact
on communication. These cost-effective wireless networks provide
location independent computing in environments ranging from
military battlefields to in-home patient monitoring systems. However,
having real-time connectivity to critical information over an open...
Cooperative network supercomputing is becoming increasingly popular for harnessing the power of the global Internet computing platform. A typical Internet supercomputer consists of a master computer or server and a large number of computers called workers, performing computation on behalf of the master. Despite the simplicity and benefits of...
This book is the revised and extended version of a Pfr.D. dissertation submitted
to the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, University of
California at Berkeley. Many of the ideas presented in this book have their roots in
discussions with Eugene Wong, my mentor and thesis advisor. I would like to thank
Gene...
Welcome to the proceedings of the 2004 International Conference on Embedded
and Ubiquitous Computing (EUC 2004) which was held in Aizu-Wakamatsu
City, Japan, 25–27 August 2004.
Embedded and ubiquitous computing are emerging rapidly as exciting new
paradigms and disciplines to provide computing and communication services...
The use of modular and parallel programming languages, and the development of distributed architectures is having a profound influence on computer programming and systems design; hardware and performance can now conspire to produce much higher operating speeds than could previously be achieved through sequential processing. Executing...
