This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed papers presented at five international workshops held in conjunction with the 5th International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing, ICSOC 2007, in Vienna, Austria, in September 2007. The five workshops were selected out of eight submissions. The volume contains papers presented at the First International Workshop on Web APIs and Services Mashups (Mashups 2007), the Workshop on Non-Functional Properties and Service Level Agreements in Service-Oriented Computing (NFPSLA-SOC 2007), the 2nd International Workshop on Business-Oriented Aspects Concerning Semantics and Methodologies in Service-Oriented Computing (SeMSoC 2007), the First International Workshop on Telecom Service-Oriented Architectures (TSOA 2007) and the Third International Workshop on Engineering Service-Oriented Applications (WESOA 2007). The papers offer a wide range of hot topics in service-oriented computing: development of mashups; management of non-functional properties and service level agreements; engineering approaches; semantic methodologies; and telecom services and service architectures.
Since the first PARLE conference, PARLE '87, attracted more than 300 participants, it was considered a useful and successful forum and encouraged the organization of this second issue known as PARLE '89. The initiative for these conferences was taken by project 415 of ESPRIT (the European Strategic Programme for Research and Development in Information Technology of the Commission of the European Communities). Their scope covers central themes in the area of parallel architectures and languages, including such topics as concurrent, object-oriented, logic and functional programming; MIMD, dataflow, inference and reduction machines; design and verification of parallel systems; VLSI, WSI and RIS...
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed joint post-workshop proceedings of seven international events, held in Las Palma de Gran Canaria, Spain, in August 2008 within the scope of Euro-Par 2008, the 14th International Conference on Parallel Computing. The 43 papers presented together with 7 keynote lectures were carefully reviewed and selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement from numerous presentations at the following workshops: the 3rd Workshop on Virtualization in High-Performance Cluster and Grid Computing (VHPC 2008), the UNICORE Summit 2008, the International Workshop on Highly Parallel Processing on a Chip (HPPC 2008), the Workshop on Secure, Trusted, Manageable and Controllable Grid Services (SGS 2008), the Workshop on Productivity and Performance (PROPER 2008), the Workshop on Real-Time Online Interactive Applications on the Grid (ROIA 2008), and the Workshop on Abstractions for Distributed Systems (DPA 2008).
Today it is almost impossible to remember what life was like with no computer, no mobile phone, and no Internet for accessing information, performing tra- actions or exchanging emails and data. New technology is bringing wave after wave of new bene?ts to daily life: organisations are doing business with each other via the Internet; people are ?lling in tax declarations online and booking their next vacation through the Internet. In general we are all progressively - ing (and dependent on) software and services running on computers, connecting mobile phones and other devices, and exchanging information on the Internet. People like to shop around and exercise choice. So do businesses and publi...
Trustworthiness is a key success factor in the acceptance and adoption of cyber-physical systems. The author first discusses various existing definitions of trust and trustworthiness and extends them to cyber-physical systems. A comprehensive framework is proposed, including methods that cover all phases of development: requirements engineering, system design, trustworthiness evaluation, run-time maintenance, and evidence-based assurance. To support a smooth integration of the methods into development projects, these methods are provided in the form of so-called capability patterns. A running example from the ambient assisted living domain is used to demonstrate the application of the methods. About the Author: Nazila Gol Mohammadi is currently working as an associate researcher at paluno – The Ruhr Institute for Software Technology in Essen, Germany. Her research interests include software engineering, requirements engineering, digitalization, cloud computing, cyber-physical systems, and trustworthiness of software systems.
This book is the fifth volume of the CoreGRID series. Organized jointly with the Euro-Par 2007 conference, The CoreGRID Symposium intends to become the premiere European event on Grid Computing. The aim of this symposium is to strengthen and advance scientific and technological excellence in the area of Grid and Peer-to-Peer Computing. The book includes all aspects of Grid Computing including service infrastructure. It is designed for a professional audience composed of researchers and practitioners in industry. This volume is also suitable for advanced-level students in computer science.
This text explores the development of massively parallel processing (MPP). The emphasis is on its industrial applications in such areas as fluid dynamics, meteorology, molecular engineering and image processing.
This comprehensive volume presents the refereed proceedings of the International Conference and Exhibition on High-Performance Computing and Networking, HPCN Europe 1996, held in Brussels, Belgium, in April 1996 under the sponsorship of the CEC.The 175 papers and posters included address all relevant theoretical aspects of HPCN and computational sciences as well as a variety of applicational aspects in numerous fields. The volume is organized in four tracks; industrial applications, general applications, computational science, and computer science aspects of HPCN.
This work covers commercial applications that make immediate advances and gains insight into the evolution of Semantic Web technology. It focuses on real applications attacking real world problems. This potentially means pragmatic decisions caused by the limitations of today's technology.
