Advances in database technology -- EDBT 2006 ; 10 International conference on extending database technology, Munich, Germany, 26-31 March 2006, Proceedings
The series of International Conferences on Extending Database Technology (EDBT) is an established and prestigious forum for the exchange of the latest research results in data management. It provides unique opportunities for database researchers, practitioners, developers, and users to explore new ideas, techniques, and tools, and to exchange experiences. This volume contains the proceedings of the 10th EDBT Conference, held in Munich, Germany, March 27-29, 2006. The conference included 3 keynote talks, 56 full-size and 4 half-size research papers in 20 sessions, 8 industrial presentations in 3 sessions, 1 panel session, 5 tutorials in 7 sessions, and 20 demonstrations in 4 sessions. All of the research papers as well as papers and abstracts from most of the other sessions are included here.
Advances in computer science - ASIAN 2006. Secure software and related issues ; 11th Asian computing science conference, Tokyo, Japan, December 6-8, 2006, Revised Selected Papers
Cover theory, practice, applications, and experiences related to secure software.
Advanced information systems Engineering ; 17th International conference, CAiSE 2005, Porto, Portugal, June 13-17, 2005, Proceedings
Contains the papers accepted and presented at revised CAiSE 2005 the seventeenth in the series of International Conferences onAdvanced Information Systems. theCAiSE conferences have provided a forum for the presentation and exchange ofresearch results and practical experiences within the field of advanced informa-tion systems engineering. In 2005, .The conference theme of CAiSE 2005 was “Improving Communication andUnderstanding — Systems and Citizens.” Behind this theme, we find the factthat the Internet has been changing societies and economies, and the way in-stitutions and businesses operate has evolved rapidly.
Advanced environments, tools, and applications for cluster computing ; NATO Advanced Research Workshop, IWCC 2001, Mangalia, Romania, September 1-6, 2001. Revised Papers
Started by small group of well known scientists with the aim of sharing knowledge, experiences, and results on all aspects of cluster computing, the initiative of a workshop on cluster computing received more attention after IFIP WG 10.3 and IEEE Romania Section accepted our request for sponsorship. Moreover, the application for a NATO ARW grant was successful, leading to a greater interest in the workshop. In this respect, we have to say that we chose Romania in order to attract scientists from Central and Eastern European countries and improve the cooperation in the region, in the field of cluster computing. We had an extremely short time to organize the event, but many people joined us and enthusiastically contributed to the process. The success of the workshop is wholly due to the hard work of the organizing committee, members of the program committee, key speakers, speakers from industry, and authors of accepted papers.
Adaptable Architecture : Theory and practice
provides thought-provoking and inquisitive insights into how we can prolong the useful life of buildings by designing them to be more adaptable, and hence create a more sustainable built environment. The book provides a theoretical foundation counterpointed by the experiences and ideas of those involved in the design and use of buildings. It explains many approaches to designing for change, with lessons from history, and case studies including The Cedar Rapids Public Library, Kentish Town Health Centre and Folkestone Performing Arts Centre, which stretch our thinking beyond the conventional notions of adaptability. The authors reveal the many conditions that make it a complex design phenomenon, by considering the purpose, design and business case of buildings as well as the physical product. Full of summaries, diagrams, reference charts, tables, and photos of exemplar solutions for use as conversational tools or working aids, this book is for any professional or student who wants to research, question, imagine, illustrate - and ultimately design for - adaptation.
Accelerator Programming Using Directives ; 6th International Workshop, WACCPD 2019, Denver, CO, USA, November 18, 2019, Revised Selected Papers
This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 6th International Workshop on Accelerator Programming Using Directives, WACCPD 2019, held in Denver, CO, USA, in November 2019. The 7 full papers presented have been carefully reviewed and selected from 13 submissions. The papers share knowledge and experiences to program emerging complex parallel computing systems. They are organized in the following three sections: porting scientific applications to heterogeneous architectures using directives; directive-based programming for math libraries; and performance portability for heterogeneous architectures.
A Short Media History of English Literature
Explores the history of literature as a history of changing media and modes of communication, from manuscript to print, from the codex to the computer, and from paper to digital platforms. It argues that literature has evolved, and continues to evolve, in sync with material forms and formats that engage our senses in multiple ways. Because literary experiences are embedded in, and enabled by, media, the book focuses on literature as a changing combination of material and immaterial features.
