Research and information: general

The International Conference on Asian Digital Libraries (ICADL) is an annual international forum for participants to exchange research results, innovative ideas, and state-of-the-art developments in digital libraries.

The 2004 Information Security Conference was the seventh in a series that started with the Information Security Workshop in 1997.

 This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 20th British National Conference on Databases, BNCOD 20, held in Coventry, UK, in July 2003.

These post-proceedings contain the revised versions of the papers presented at the \Symposium on Objects and Databases"e; which was held in Sophia-Antipolis, France, June 13, 2000, in conjunction with the Fourteenth European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming, ECOOP 2000.

The East European Conference on Advances in Databases and Information - stems (ADBIS) is the successor of the annual International Workshops with the same title that during 1993{1996 were organized in Russia by the Moscow ACM SIGMOD Chapter.

The biannual Formal Methods in Computer Aided Design conference (FMCAD 2000)is the third in a series of conferences under that title devoted to the use of discrete mathematical methods for the analysis of computer hardware and so- ware.

Recently, there has been a lot of interest in provably "e;good"e; pseudo-random number generators [lo, 4, 14, 31.

This volume is dedicated to the memory of Rudolf Ahlswede, who passed away in December 2010.

Chaos and nonlinear dynamics initially developed as a new emergent field with its foundation in physics and applied mathematics.

This book, edited and authored by a closely collaborating network of social scientists and psychologists, recasts typical research topics in these fields into the language of nonlinear, dynamic and complex systems.

FOSAD has been one of the foremost educational events established with the goal of disseminating knowledge in the critical area of security in computer systems and networks.

Emergence and complexity refer to the appearance of higher-level properties and behaviours of a system that obviously comes from the collective dynamics of that system's components.

Each chapter in Managing Complexity focuses on analyzing real-world complex systems and transferring knowledge from the complex-systems sciences to applications in business, industry and society.

This book is intended to serve as an introduction to the multidisciplinary ?

The purpose of VLBV 2003 was to provide an international forum for the d- cussion of the state of the art of visual content processing techniques, standards, and applications covering areas such as: video/image analysis, representation and coding, communications and delivery, consumption, synthesis, protection, and adaptation.

Despite being a young field of research and development, data mining has proved to be a successful approach to extracting knowledge from huge collections of structured digital data collection as usually stored in databases.
