This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the Second International Conference on Networks for Grid Applications, GridNets 2008, held in Beijing, China in October 2008. The 19 revised full papers presented together with 4 invited presentations were carefully reviewed and selected from 37 submissions. The papers address the whole spectrum of grid networks, ranging from formal approaches for grid management to case studies in optical switching.
When this much acclaimed biography was published ten years ago, Eric Sams welcomed it as 'a model of critical biography ... an essential vade mecum for all Schubertians'. In the intervening years, however, Schubert's public image has changed considerably. He has, since the 1860s, been thefavourite composer of the man in the street, but the view from the academic lecture room has not always been equally attractive. Now the Ph.D. theses flow from the university presses, and 1997, when Schubert's bicentenary is celebrated is likely to see many more. Modern scholarship in the meantimehas destroyed many of the familiar hagiographic images of Schubert the man, the impoverished Bohemian, the eternal youth, the reluctant lover, the genius in the garret, and has even dared to bring Schubert's sexuality within the compass of critical discussion. This has made it necessary to revisethoroughly the main text of the book as well as the four detailed appendices which serve as a useful reference section to the book. Its aim remains the same: to provide a readable, authoritative, and reliable guide to Schubert's life and works for the student, the musician, and the generalreader.
This book shows the conference proceedings of CloudComp 2009 held in Munich, Germany, in October 2009.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Economics of Grids, Clouds, Systems, and Services, GECON 2022, held in Izola, Slovenia, in September 2022. The 4 full papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 22 submissions. In addition, this book includes 6 work-in-progress papers, 4 new ideas paper, and two invited papers. This series of conferences serves as a meeting place to bring together distributed systems expertise (e.g., in resource allocation, quality of service management, and energy consumption) with economics expertise (focusing on both micro- and macro-economic modelling and analysis) for creating effective solutions in this space.
This book constitutes revised selected papers from the workshops held at 24th International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing, Euro-Par 2018, which took place in Turin, Italy, in August 2018. The 64 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 109 submissions. Euro-Par is an annual, international conference in Europe, covering all aspects of parallel and distributed processing. These range from theory to practice, from small to the largest parallel and distributed systems and infrastructures, from fundamental computational problems to full-edged applications, from architecture, compiler, language and interface design and implementation to tools, support infrastructures, and application performance aspects.
Adaptation of applied information and communication technologies (ICT) research results is one of the greatest challenges faced in building the global knowledge economy. This set of two books brings together a collection of contributions on commercial, government or societal exploitation of applied ICT.
This two volume set of the Computing Handbook, Third Edition (previously theComputer Science Handbook) provides up-to-date information on a wide range of topics in computer science, information systems (IS), information technology (IT), and software engineering. The third edition of this popular handbook addresses not only the dramatic growth of computing as a discipline but also the relatively new delineation of computing as a family of separate disciplines as described by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the IEEE Computer Society (IEEE-CS), and the Association for Information Systems (AIS). Both volumes in the set describe what occurs in research laboratories, educational ins...
Programming multi-core and many-core computing systems Sabri Pllana, Linnaeus University, Sweden Fatos Xhafa, Technical University of Catalonia, Spain Provides state-of-the-art methods for programming multi-core and many-core systems The book comprises a selection of twenty two chapters covering: fundamental techniques and algorithms; programming approaches; methodologies and frameworks; scheduling and management; testing and evaluation methodologies; and case studies for programming multi-core and many-core systems. Program development for multi-core processors, especially for heterogeneous multi-core processors, is significantly more complex than for single-core processors. However, progra...
This volume contains the technical papers presented in the four high-quality workshops associated with the European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing, ESOCC 2014, held in Manchester, UK, in September 2014: 4th International Workshop on Adaptive Services for the Future Internet, WAS4FI 2014, 2nd International Workshop on Cloud for IoT, CLIoT 2014, 2nd International Workshop on Cloud Service Brokerage, CSB 2014, and Seamless Adaptive Multi-cloud Management of Service-based Applications, SeaCloudS Workshop. The 19 revised full papers and 3 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 39 submissions. They focus on specific topics in service-oriented and cloud computing domains as cloud computing, service buses, Web services, service-oriented architectures, event-driven architectures, enterprise architectures, business process management, software selection and adaptation.
