Cloud computing has brought great benefits in cost and flexibility for provisioning services. The greatest challenge of cloud computing remains however the question of security. The current standard tools in access control mechanisms and cryptography can only partly solve the security challenges of cloud infrastructures. In the recent years of research in security and cryptography, novel mechanisms, protocols and algorithms have emerged that offer new ways to create secure services atop cloud infrastructures. This report provides introductions to a selection of security mechanisms that were part of the "Cloud Security Mechanisms" seminar in summer term 2013 at HPI.

In today’s life, embedded systems are ubiquitous. But they differ from traditional desktop systems in many aspects – these include predictable timing behavior (real-time), the management of scarce resources (memory, network), reliable communication protocols, energy management, special purpose user-interfaces (headless operation), system configuration, programming languages (to support software/hardware co-design), and modeling techniques. Within this technical report, authors present results from the lecture “Operating Systems for Embedded Computing” that has been offered by the “Operating Systems and Middleware” group at HPI in Winter term 2013/14. Focus of the lecture and acco...
This book offers the policy-maker or decision-maker key insights and practical information regarding the features of ethics frameworks best suited to the ethical assessment of human cognitive enhancement (HCE) applications, such as pharmaceutical cognitive enhancers and noninvasive brain stimulation techniques. This book takes as its departure point the entrenched philosophical debate between opponents and proponents of HCE and the increased feasibility of some applications of HCE. Recent calls for policy-making in the area of human enhancement reflect the need to find a balance between addressing current ethical issues and issues that are more speculative in nature or are underpinned by abs...
Particularly in the humanities and social sciences, festschrifts are a popular forum for discussion. The IJBF provides quick and easy general access to these important resources for scholars and students. The festschrifts are located in state and regional libraries and their bibliographic details are recorded. Since 1983, more than 639,000 articles from more than 29,500 festschrifts, published between 1977 and 2010, have been catalogued.

Vor Frue Kirke i København fremstår som et samlet værk tegnet af arkitekten C.F. Hansen og med udsmykning af billedhuggeren Bertel Thorvaldsen. Bygningens stramme, antik-inspirerede former taler samme sprog som de monumentale, hvide marmorstatuer og -relieffer, og Kristus-statuen i apsis over alteret har i snart 200 år har haft hovedrollen – både i kirkerummet og i kirkens liturgi. I KRISTUS. Thorvaldsens statue i Vor Frue Kirke bliver der sat fokus på begge dimensioner, det æstetiske og det liturgiske. Ud fra en tværfaglig tilgang analyserer og fortolker kunsthistorikeren Margrethe Floryan Kristus-statuen, dens fremtræden og betydning i samspillet med de øvrige knap 30 Thorvalds...
