This regrettable situation is due largely...

This thesis is concerned with the design of efficient algorithms for listing combinatorial structures. The research described here gives some answers to the following questions: which families of combinatorial structures have fast computer algorithms for listing their members, What general methods are useful for listing combinatorial...

Java Deployment takes a very practical approach to the topic of deploying Java applications. First, the book presents the major deployment concerns a Java developer faces and addresses the most common deployment scenarios. Next, the book addresses deployment issues the developer faces while coding a project. Finally, the book presents...

Porous materials continue to attract considerable attention because of their wide variety of scientific and technological applications, such as catalysis, shape- and size-selective absorption and adsorption, gas storage, and electrode materials. Both research and applications of porous materials—via electroanalysis, electrosynthesis,...

On behalf of the Program Committee, it is our pleasure to present to you the proceedings of the 8th Conference on Detection of Intrusions and Malware & Vulnerability Assessment (DIMVA 2011). Each year DIMVA brings together international experts from academia, industry and government to present and discuss novel security research....
