Financial Cryptography
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Financial Cryptography, FC 2004, held in Key West, FL, USA, in February 2004. The 17 revised full papers presented together with abstracts of 4 invited talks and 4 panel statements were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers are organized in topical sections on loyalty and micropayment systems, user authentication, e-voting, auctions and lotteries, game theoretic and cryptographic tools, and mix networks and anonymous communications.
The Economics of Information Security and Privacy
In the late 1990s, researchers began to grasp that the roots of many information security failures can be better explained with the language of economics than by pointing to instances of technical flaws. This led to a thriving new interdisciplinary research field combining economic and engineering insights, measurement approaches and methodologies to ask fundamental questions concerning the viability of a free and open information society. While economics and information security comprise the nucleus of an academic movement that quickly drew the attention of thinktanks, industry, and governments, the field has expanded to surrounding areas such as management of information security, privacy,...
Self-Organizing Systems
We welcome you to the proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Self-Organizing Systems (IWSOS 2009) hosted at ETH, Zurich, Switzerland. IWSOS provides an annual forum to present and discuss recent research in self-organization focused on networks and networked systems. Research in se- organizingnetworkedsystemshasadvancedinrecentyears,buttheinvestigation of its potentials and limits still leaves challenging and appealing open research issues for this and subsequent IWSOS workshops.

The “Hidden” Prehistory of European Research Networking
The main purpose of this book, which mostly covers the period 19841993, is about the history of European research networking. In particular, it strives to throw some light on some lesser known, sometimes forgotten, aspects of the European research networking history, as the EARN and EASInet initiatives from IBM but also DEC (EARN/OSI), thanks to operational pan-European networks, which were built during the period 19841990 thus allowing the start of operational European academic and research networking services in a very effective and swift manner. A secondary purpose of this article is to make a critical assessment of the political and technical achievements of the European NRENs and especially those of DANTE, the company set up by these same NRENs to build and operate a pan-European backbone interconnecting their national networking infrastructures as well as establishing international connections to other NRENs worldwide.
Active Networks
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the IFIP-TC6 4th International Working Conference on Active Networks, IWAN 2002, held in Zurich, Switzerland, in December 2002. The 20 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 53 submissions. Among the topics addressed are router architectures, reconfigurable systems, NodeOS, service deployment, active network services, active network queries, network management agents, active network performance, mobile communications, programmable networks, network execution environments, active network architecture, group communication, peer-to-peer networks, and interaction detection.
Multimedia Transport and Teleservices
This volume presents the proceedings of the International COST 237 Workshop, held in Vienna in November 1994 in the framework of the CEC COST 237 Multimedia Telecommunications Services Projects. The 24 papers presented in revised version were selected from 46 submissions; they are organized in sections on teleservices, multimedia mail, archiving and retrieving; teleservice support; quality of service and synchronization; multipeer communication; broadband network transport issues; and variable bit rate video coding transport.
Advanced Parallel Processing Technologies
Welcome to the proceedings of APPT 2005: the 6th International Workshop on Advanced Parallel Processing Technologies. APPT is a biennial workshop on parallel and distributed processing. Its scope covers all aspects of parallel and distributed computing technologies, including architectures, software systems and tools, algorithms, and applications. APPT originated from collaborations by researchers from China and Germany and has evolved to be an international workshop. APPT 2005 was the sixth in the series. The past ?ve workshops were held in Beijing, Koblenz, Changsha, Ilmenau, and Xiamen, respectively. The Program Committee is pleased to present the proceedings for APPT 2005. This year, APP...

The 10 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 22 submissions. Papers presented covered topics like active multicast, active QoS, active security, active GRIDs, management, architectures, language and API issues.
The Palgrave Handbook of Image Studies
This handbook brings together the most current and hotly debated topics in studies about images today. In the first part, the book gives readers an historical overview and basic diacronical explanation of the term image, including the ways it has been used in different periods throughout history. In the second part, the fundamental concepts that have to be mastered should one wish to enter into the emerging field of Image Studies are explained. In the third part, readers will find analysis of the most common subjects and topics pertaining to images. In the fourth part, the book explains how existing disciplines relate to Image Studies and how this new scholarly field may be constructed using both old and new approaches and insights. The fifth chapter is dedicated to contemporary thinkers and is the first time that theses of the most prominent scholars of Image Studies are critically analyzed and presented in one place.
High-Performance Computing and Networking
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on High-Performance Computing and Networking, HPCN Europe 2000, held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, in May 2000.
