Dependable Systems: Software, Computing, Networks
Modern civilization relies on a functioning information infrastructure. As a result, dependability has become a central issue in all disciplines of systems engineering and software architecture.Theories, methods and tools that help to master the problems encountered in the design process and the management of operations are therefore of utmost importance for the future of information and communication technology. The present volume documents the results of a research program on Dependable Information and Communication Systems (DICS). The members of the project met in two workshops organized by the Hasler Foundation. This state-of-the-art survey contains 3 overview articles identifying major issues of dependability and presenting the latest solutions, as well as 10 carefully selected and revised papers depicting the research results originating from those workshops. The first workshop took place in Münchenwiler, Switzerland, in March 2004, and the second workshop, which marked the conclusion of the projects, in Löwenberg, Switzerland, in October 2005. The papers are organized in topical sections on surveys, dependable software, dependable computing, and dependable networks.
Distributed Computing
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Distributed Computing, DISC 2005, held in Cracow, Poland, in September 2005. The 32 revised full papers selected from 162 submissions are presented together with 14 brief announcements of ongoing works chosen from 30 submissions; all of them were carefully selected for inclusion in the book. The entire scope of current issues in distributed computing is addressed, ranging from foundational and theoretical topics to algorithms and systems issues and to applications in various fields.

Distributed Computing
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 20th International Symposium on Distributed Computing, DISC 2006. The book presents 35 revised full papers together with 1 invited paper and 13 announcements of ongoing works, all carefully selected for inclusion in the book. The entire scope of current issues in distributed computing is addressed, ranging from foundational and theoretical topics to algorithms and systems issues and to applications in various fields.
Theory and Practice in Distributed Systems
This book summarizes the current knowledge on a cascade of gene regulation levels which operate in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells and which has until recently been poorly understood. While transcriptional control of eukaryotic genes has been extensively researched and the understanding of this process has reached very sophisticated levels, post- transcriptional control has received much less attention. As the contributions in this book demonstrate, not only is post-transcriptional control in eukaryotes better understood, it is now thought to be a major player in gene expression control in a number of key processes, i.e. control of cell proliferation, gametogenesis and early development or cellular homeostasis.
Actas de Las VIII Jornadas de Concurrencia
La proliferación actual de sistemas concurrentes, en general debido al abaratamiento sustancial de poderosos sistemas de cómputo, y el auge, cada vez mayor, que toman las aplicaciones distribuidas, hace que cada vez sea más interesante el estudio de los sistemas concurrentes en todos los aspectos de la Informática. La mayor complejidad y tamaño de los secuenciales convencionales exige el uso de técnicas adecuadas tanto para su diseño y análisis, como para su posterior implementación práctica. Este libro contiene las comunicaciones que han sido presentadas en la Octava edición de las Jornadas de Concurrencia, celebradas en Cuenca en junio de 2000. Este es un foro para el intercambio de experiencias entre los investigadores nacionales tanto de la Universidad como de la Industria en el campo de los sistemas concurrentes, y por tanto en él se muestran tanto los resultados teóricos como las aplicaciones industriales más recientes en esta materia.
Dependable Computing
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First Latin-American Symposium on Dependable Computing, LADC 2003, held in Sao Paulo, Brazil in October 2003. The 21 revised full papers presented together with abstracts of invited talks, a panel, workshops, and tutorials were carefully reviewed and selected for presentation. The papers are organized in topical sections on fault injection, security, adaptive fault tolerance, distributed algorithms, and components and fault tolerance.
Advances in Distributed Systems
In 1992 we initiated a research project on large scale distributed computing systems (LSDCS). It was a collaborative project involving research institutes and universities in Bologna, Grenoble, Lausanne, Lisbon, Rennes, Rocquencourt, Newcastle, and Twente. The World Wide Web had recently been developed at CERN, but its use was not yet as common place as it is today and graphical browsers had yet to be developed. It was clear to us (and to just about everyone else) that LSDCS comprising several thousands to millions of individual computer systems (nodes) would be coming into existence as a consequence both of technological advances and the demands placed by applications. We were excited about...
