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...
You are holding the proceedings of FSE 2011, the 18th International Workshop
on Fast Software Encryption. This workshop was organized in cooperation with
the International Association for Cryptologic Research. It was held in Lyngby,
Denmark, during February 13–16, 2011.
The FSE 2011 Program Committee (PC) consisted of...
Mechanical engineering is a broad and complex field
within the world of engineering and has close relations
to many other fields. It is an important economic factor
for all industrialized countries and the global market
allows for wide international competition for products
and processes in this field. To stay up to date with...
Automatic speech recognition suffers from a lack of robustness with respect to
noise, reverberation and interfering speech. The growing field of speech recognition
in the presence of missing or uncertain input data seeks to ameliorate those
problems by using not only a preprocessed speech signal but also an estimate of
its...
The 16th edition of the International Conference on Reliable Software Technologies
– Ada-Europe 2011—took place in the John McIntyre Conference Centre,
Edinburgh (UK). Previous editions of the conference were held in Switzerland
(Montreux 1996 and Geneva 2007), United Kingdom (London 1997 and York
2005), Sweden (Uppsala...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
