XML for Bioinformatics
Provides a solid introduction to the emerging use of XML in the field of bioinformatics. It assumes no prior knowledge of XML, and illustrates all core concepts with specific bioinformatics examples and case studies. Core XML concepts include: fundamentals of XML, Document Type Definitions (DTDs), XML Namespaces, XML Schema, XML parsing in Perl and Java, web services and SOAP. Examples and case studies are drawn from a wide range of bioinformatics applications, including the Bioinformatic Sequence Markup Language (BSML), NCBI E-Fetch, the Distributed Annotation System (DAS), and the National Cancer Institute Cancer Bioinformatics Infrastructure Objects (caBIO) project.

Stream Data Management
Researchers in data management have recently recognized the importance of a new class of data-intensive applications that requires managing data streams, i.e., data composed of continuous, real-time sequence of items. Streaming applications pose new and interesting challenges for data management systems. Such application domains require queries to be evaluated continuously as opposed to the one time evaluation of a query for traditional applications. Streaming data sets grow continuously and queries must be evaluated on such unbounded data sets. These, as well as other challenges, require a major rethink of almost all aspects of traditional database management systems to support streaming applications. Stream Data Management comprises eight invited chapters by researchers active in stream data management. The collected chapters provide exposition of algorithms, languages, as well as systems proposed and implemented for managing streaming data.
Service-Oriented Computing - ICSOC 2006 ; 4th International Conference, Chicago, IL, USA, December 4-7, Proceedings
This volume contains the proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Service- Oriented Computing (ICSOC 2006), which took place in Chicago, USA, 2006. Service-oriented computing brings together ideas and technologies from many d- ferent fields in an evolutionary manner to address research challenges such as service composition, discovery, integration, monitoring and management of services, service quality and security, methodologies for supporting service development, governances in their evolution, as well as their overall life-cycle management.
Semantic Web and Peer-to-Peer : Decentralized Management and Exchange of Knowledge and Information
Staab and Stuckenschmidt structured the selected contributions into four parts: Part I, "Data Storage and Access", prepares the semantic foundation, i.e. data modelling and querying in a flexible and yet scalable manner. These foundations allow for dealing with the organization of information at the individual peers. Part II, "Querying the Network", considers the routing of queries, as well as continuous queries and personalized queries under the conditions of the permanently changing topological structure of a peer-to-peer network. Part III, "Semantic Integration", deals with the mapping of heterogeneous data representations. Finally Part IV, "Methodology and Systems", reports experiences from case studies and sample applications. The overall result is a state-of-the-art description of the potential of Semantic Web and peer-to-peer technologies for information sharing and knowledge management when applied jointly.

Secure Data Management in Decentralized Systems
New data services are emerging every day, which also brings new challenges to protect data security. The internet and the web offer means for collecting and sharing data with unprecedented flexibility and convenience. Secure Data Management in Decentralized Systems identifies and addresses these new challenges. This volume presents a wide range of active areas, closely related to database security by distinguished leaders within this field. Solutions are included.
Secure Data Management ; Vol. 4165 ; Third VLDB Workshop, SDM 2006, Seoul, Korea, September 10-11, 2006, Proceedings
The use of new technologies has brought some privacy concerns. It becomes simpler to collect, store, and search personal information and endanger people’s privacy. Therefore, research in the area of secure data management is of growing imp- tance, attracting the attention of both the data management and security - search communities. The interesting problems range from traditional ones such asaccesscontrol(withallvariations,likerole-basedand/orcontext-aware),da- base security, operations on encrypted data, and privacy preserving data mining to cryptographic protocols. The call for papers attracted 33 papers both from universities and ind- try. The program committee selected 13 research papers for presentation at the workshop. These papers are also collected in this volume, which we hope will serve you as useful research and reference material.
Secure Data Management ; 4th VLDB Workshop, SDM 2007, Vienna, Austria, September 23-24, 2007, Proceedings
Although a number of cryptography and security techniques have been around for quite some time, emerging technologies, such as ubiquitous computing and ambient intelligence that exploit increasingly interconnected networks, mobility and personalization, put new requirements on privacy and security with respect to data management. As data are accessible anytime anywhere, according to these new concepts, it becomes much easier to get unauthorized data access. As another consequence, the use of new technologies has brought some privacy concerns. It becomes simpler to collect, store, and search personal information and endanger people’s privacy. Therefore, research in the area of secure data management is of growing importance, attracting the attention of both the data managementand securityresearchcommunities.

Reasoning Web ; Vol. 3564 : 1st International Summer School 2005, Msida, Malta, July 25-29, 2005, Revised Lectures
Contains the tutorial papers of the Summer School “Reasoning Web, ”July 25–29, 2005. The main idea of the Semantic Web is to enrich Web data with meta-data carrying a “meaning” of the data and allowing Web-based systems to reason about data (and meta-data). The meta-data used in Semantic Web applications is usually linked to a conceptualization of the application domain shared by di?erent applications. Such a conceptualization is called an ontology and species classes of objects and relations between them. Ontologies are defined by ontology languages, based on logic and supporting formal reasoning. Just as the current Web is inherently heterogeneous in data formats and data semantics, the Semantic Web will be inherently heterogeneous in its reasoning forms. - deed, any single form of reasoning turns out to be insu?cient in the Semantic Web.
