Computer network security is critical to fraud prevention and accountability.

Grid computing is widely regarded as a technology of immense potential in both industry and academia.

Parallel and distributed computer systems are built to close the gap between the demand for high-performance computing and the computing power available using standalone single-processor machines.

Mobile devices allow users to access information resources and services over many different distribution channels - anywhere, anytime, anyhow.

More and more, software systems involve autonomous and distributed software components that have to execute and interact in open and dynamic environments, such as in pervasive, autonomous, and mobile applications.

Just like the industrial society of the last century depended on natural resources, today's society depends on information and its exchange.

In modern computing a program is usually distributed among several processes.

Computing increasingly happens somewhere, with that geographic location important to the computational process itself.

This book is thematically positioned at the intersections of Urban Design, Architecture, Civil Engineering and Computer Science, and it has the goal to provide specialists coming from respective fields a multi-angle overview of state-of-the-art work currently being carried out.

The Critical Infrastructure Protection Survey recently released by Symantec found that 53% of interviewed IT security experts from international companies experienced at least ten cyber attacks in the last five years, and financial institutions were often subject to some of the most sophisticated and large-scale cyber attacks and frauds.

Cloud computing is a buzz-word in today's information technology (IT) that nobody can escape.
