Interest Groups and Political Representation in Portugal and Beyond
This book examines the characteristics and evolution of interest groups in Portugal. Drawing from a wide array of sources - including surveys, parliamentary activities, media coverage and interviews with MPs and lobbyists – it systematically assesses interest group politics. The book analyses the main features of group population, the strategies utilised by organised interests, their interactions with key decision-makers, and citizens’ opinions regarding their role in the political system. The original data provided in this book frames the Portuguese case in a broader European context, and will be extremely useful for international comparisons. It will appeal to scholars and students of European politics, interest groups, democratic theories, and public policy.
On the Move to Meaningful Internet Systems, OTM 2010
The two-volume set of LNCS 6426/6427 constitutes the refereed proceedings of 3 confederated international conferences on CoopIS (Cooperative Information Systems), DOA (Distributed Objects and Applications) and ODBASE (Ontologies, DataBases and Applications of SEmantics). These conferences were held in October 2009 in Greece, in Hersonissos on the island of Crete. CoopIS is covering the applications of technologies in an enterprise context as workflow systems and knowledge management. DOA is covering the relevant infrastructure-enabling technologies and finally, OSBASe is covering WEB semantics, XML databases and ontologies. The 83 revised full papers presented together with 3 keynote talks w...

Wild and Exotic Animal Ophthalmology
This Volume 2 of a two-volume work is the first textbook to offer a practical yet comprehensive approach to clinical ophthalmology in wild and exotic mammals. A phylogenetic approach is used to introduce the ecology and importance of vision across the entire diversity of mammal species before focusing on both the diverse aspects of comparative anatomy and clinical management of ocular disease from one animal group to the next. Edited by three of the most esteemed authorities in exotic animal ophthalmology, this two-volume work is separated into non-mammalian species (Volume 1: Invertebrates, Fishes, Amphibians, Reptiles, and Birds) and Mammals (Volume 2: Mammals). Wild and Exotic Animal Ophthalmology, Volumes 1 and 2 is an essential collection for veterinary ophthalmologists and other veterinary practitioners working with wild and exotic animals.
Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th IFIP WG 6.1 International Conference on Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems, DAIS 2011, held in Reykjavik, Iceland, in June 2011 as one of the DisCoTec 2011 events. The 18 revised full papers and 6 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 55 submissions. The papers presented at DAIS 2011 address key challenges of modern distributed services and applications, including pervasiveness and peer-to-peer environments, and tackle issues related to adaptation, interoperability, availability and performance, as well as dependability and security.
Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 20th IFIP International Conference on Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems, DAIS 2020, which was supposed to be held in Valletta, Malta, in June 2020, as part of the 15th International Federated Conference on Distributed Computing Techniques, DisCoTec 2020. The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 10 full papers presented together with 1 short paper and 1 invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 17 submissions. The papers addressed challenges in multiple application areas, such as privacy and security, cloud and systems, fault-tolerance and reproducibility, machine learning for systems, and distributed algorithms.
Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 16th IFIP International Conference on Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems, DAIS 2016, held in Heraklion, Crete, Greece, in June 2016. The 13 papers presented together with 3 short papers in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 34 submissions. They represent a compelling sample of the state-of-the-art in the area of distributed applications and interoperable systems. Cloud computing and services received a large emphasis this year.
Distributed Computing
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Distributed Computing, DISC 2004, held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, in October 2004. The 31 revised full papers presented together with an extended abstract of an invited lecture and an eulogy for Peter Ruzicka were carefully reviewed and selected from 142 submissions. The entire scope of current issues in distributed computing is addressed, ranging from foundational and theoretical topics to algorithms and systems issues to applications in various fields.
