Medical practice is practiced morality, and clinical research belongs to normative ethics. The present book elucidates and advances this thesis by: 1. analyzing the structure of medical language, knowledge, and theories; 2. inquiring into the foundations of the clinical encounter; 3. introducing the logic and methodology of clinical decision-making; 4. suggesting comprehensive theories of organism, life, and psyche; of health, illness, and disease; of etiology, diagnosis, prognosis, prevention, and therapy; and 5. investigating the moral and metaphysical issues central to medical practice and research.
Privacy, Security and Trust within the Context of Pervasive Computing is an edited volume based on a post workshop at the second international conference on Pervasive Computing. The workshop was held April18-23, 2004, in Vienna, Austria. The goal of the workshop was not to focus on specific, even novel mechanisms, but rather on the interfaces between mechanisms in different technical and social problem spaces. An investigation of the interfaces between the notions of context, privacy, security, and trust will result in a deeper understanding of the "atomic" problems, leading to a more complete understanding of the social and technical issues in pervasive computing.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the First International Conference on Security in Pervasive Computing held in Boppard, Germany in March 2003. The 19 revised full papers presented together with abstracts of 4 invited talks and a workshop summary were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvements. The papers are organized in topical sections on location privacy, security requirements, security policies and protection, authentication and trust, secure infrastructures, smart labels, verifications, and hardware architectures.
The CQRE [Secure] conference provides a new international forum giving a close-up view on information security in the context of rapidly evolving economic processes. The unprecedented reliance on computer technology has transformed the previous technical side-issue "information security" to a management problem requiring decisions of strategic importance. Thus one of the main goals of the conference is to provide a platform for both technical specialists as well as decision makers from government, industry, commercial, and academic communities. The target of CQRE is to promote and stimulate dialogue between managers and experts, which seems to be necessary for providing secure information sy...
