Multiparadigm Programming in Mozart/Oz ; 2nd International Conference, MOZ 2004, Charleroi, Belgium, October 7-8, 2004, Revised Selected Papers
Oz's concurrency model yields simplicity and clarity (because Oz makes it easier to express complex programs with many interacting components), g- erality, and better interfaces (because the data?ow model automatically makes interfaces more lightweight). Constraint programming in Oz again yields simplicity and clarity (because theprogrammercanexpresswhatneedstobetrueratherthanthemorecomplex issue of how to make it true), and o?ers a powerful mathematical notation that is di?cult to implement on top of languages that do not support it natively. Mozart's distributed computing model makes for improved interfaces and eases the evolution of systems.

Distributed computing ; Vol. 4167 ; 20th International Symposium, DISC 2006, Stockholm, Sweden, September 18-20, 2006, Proceedings
DISC, the International Symposium on DIStributed Computing, is an annual forum for presentation of research on all facets of distributed computing, inc- ding the theory, design, analysis, implementation, and application of distributed systems and networks. The 20th anniversary edition of DISC was held on S- tember 18-20, 2006, in Stockholm, Sweden. There were 145 extended abstracts submitted to DISC this year, and this - lume contains the 35 contributions selected by the Program Committee and one invited paper among these 145 submissions.
Distributed computing ; Vol. 3724 ; 19th International conference, DISC 2005, Cracow, Poland, September 26-29, 2005, Proceedings
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Distributed Computing, DISC 2005, held in Cracow, Poland, in September 2005. The 32 revised full papers selected from 162 submissions are presented together with 14 brief announcements of ongoing works chosen from 30 submissions; all of them were carefully selected for inclusion in the book. The entire scope of current issues in distributed computing is addressed, ranging from foundational and theoretical topics to algorithms and systems issues and to applications in various fields.

This book covers all current issues in distributed computing, including theory, design, analysis, implementation, and application of distributed systems and networks.
Communicating sequential processes : The first 25 years : Symposium on the Occasion of 25 Years of CSP, London, UK, July 7-8, 2004. Revised Invited Papers
This volume, like the symposium CSP25 which gave rise to it, commemorates the semi-jubilee of Communicating Sequential Processes. 1 Tony Hoare’s paper “Communicating Sequential Processes” is today widely regarded as one of the most in?uential papers in computer science. To comm- orate it, an event was organized under the auspices of BCS-FACS (the British Computer Society’s Formal Aspects of Computing Science specialist group). CSP25 was one of a series of such events organized to highlight the use of formal methods, emphasize their relevance to modern computing and promote their wider application.
