Information Security and Privacy
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th Australasian Conference on Information Security and Privacy, ACISP 2000, held in Brisbane, QLD, Australia, in July 2000. The 37 revised full papers presented together with two invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 81 submissions. The book offers topical sections on network security, public key cryptography, cryptographic implementation issues, electronic commerce, key recovery, public key infrastructure, Boolean functions, intrusion detection, codes, digital signatures, secret sharing, and protocols.
Component-Based Software Engineering
Component-based software engineering (CBSE) is concerned with the devel- ment of software-intensive systems from reusable parts (components), the dev- opmentofsuchreusableparts,andthemaintenanceandimprovementofsystems by means of component replacement and customization. Although it holds c- siderable promise, there are still many challenges facing both researchers and practitioners in establishing CBSE as an e?cient and proven engineering dis- pline. Six CBSE workshops have been held consecutively at the most recent six International Conferences on Software Engineering (ICSE). The premise of the last three CBSE workshops was that the long-term success of component-based development depends o...
Plan-Based Control of Robotic Agents
Robotic agents, such as autonomous office couriers or robot tourguides, must be both reliable and efficient. Thus, they have to flexibly interleave their tasks, exploit opportunities, quickly plan their course of action, and, if necessary, revise their intended activities. This book makes three major contributions to improving the capabilities of robotic agents: - first, a plan representation method is introduced which allows for specifying flexible and reliable behavior - second, probabilistic hybrid action models are presented as a realistic causal model for predicting the behavior generated by modern concurrent percept-driven robot plans - third, the system XFRMLEARN capable of learning structured symbolic navigation plans is described in detail.
Information Modelling and Knowledge Bases XIII
This is a collection of papers presented in the 11th European Japanese Conference on Information Modelling and Knowledge Bases held in Maribor, Slovenia. This annually organized conference brings together the leading researchers from Europe and Japan to introduce the latest results of their research.
Semantic business process modeling
This book presents a process-oriented business modeling framework based on semantic technologies. The framework consists of modeling languages, methods, and tools that allow for semantic modeling of business motivation, business policies and rules, and business processes. Quality of the proposed modeling framework is evaluated based on the modeling content of SAP Solution Composer and several real-world business scenarios.
Multiobjective Heuristic Search
Solutions to most real-world optimization problems involve a trade-off between multiple conflicting and non-commensurate objectives. Some of the most challenging ones are area-delay trade-off in VLSI synthesis and design space exploration, time-space trade-off in computation, and multi-strategy games. Conventional search techniques are not equipped to handle the partial order state spaces of multiobjective problems since they inherently assume a single scalar objective function. Multiobjective heuristic search techniques have been developed to specifically address multicriteria combinatorial optimization problems. This text describes the multiobjective search model and develops the theoretic...
Spatial Cognition IV, Reasoning, Action, Interaction
This is the fourth volume in a series of books dedicated to basic research in spatial cognition. Spatial cognition is a field that investigates the connection between the physical spatial world and the mental world. Philosophers and researchers have p- posed various views concerning the relation between the physical and the mental worlds: Plato considered pure concepts of thought as separate from their physical manifestations while Aristotle considered the physical and the mental realms as two aspects of the same substance. Descartes, a dualist, discussed the interaction between body and soul through an interface organ and thus introduced a functional view that presented a challenge for the ...
Interoperating Geographic Information Systems
Geographic information systems have developed rapidly in the past decade, and are now a major class of software, with applications that include infrastructure maintenance, resource management, agriculture, Earth science, and planning. But a lack of standards has led to a general inability for one GIS to interoperate with another. It is difficult for one GIS to share data with another, or for people trained on one system to adapt easily to the commands and user interface of another. Failure to interoperate is a problem at many levels, ranging from the purely technical to the semantic and the institutional. Interoperating Geographic Information Systems is about efforts to improve the ability o...
Scientific Engineering for Distributed Java Applications
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed postproceedings of the International Workshop on Scientific Engineering for Distributed Java Applications, FIDJI 2002, held in Luxembourg-Kirchberg, Luxembourg in November 2002. The 16 revised full papers presented together with a keynote paper and 3 abstracts were carefully selected from 33 submissions during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. Among the topics addressed are Java coordination, Web service architectures, transaction models, CORBA-based distributed systems, mobile objects, Java group toolkits, distributed process management systems, active objects in J2EE, Java frameworks, Jini, component-based distributed applications, Java middleware, fault-tolerant mobile systems.
Logic Programming
Includes tutorials, invited lectures, and refereed papers on all aspects of logic programming including: Constraints, Concurrency and Parallelism, Deductive Databases, Implementations, Meta and Higher-order Programming, Theory, and Semantic Analysis. September 2-6, 1996, Bonn, Germany Every four years, the two major international scientific conferences on logic programming merge in one joint event. JICSLP'96 is the thirteenth in the two series of annual conferences sponsored by The Association for Logic Programming. It includes tutorials, invited lectures, and refereed papers on all aspects of logic programming including: Constraints, Concurrency and Parallelism, Deductive Databases, Implementations, Meta and Higher-order Programming, Theory, and Semantic Analysis. The contributors are international, with strong contingents from the United States, United Kingdom, France, and Japan. Logic Programming series, Research Reports and Notes
