This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Principles of Distributed Systems, OPODIS 2009, held in Nimes, France, in December 2009. The 23 full papers and 4 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 72 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on distributed scheduling, distributed robotics, fault and failure detection, wireless and social networks, synchronization, storage systems, distributed agreement, and distributed algorithms.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 4th Workshop on Theory of Quantum Computation, Communication, and Cryptography, TQC 2009, held in Waterloo, Canada, in May 2009. The 10 revised papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers present current original research and focus on theoretical aspects of quantum computation, quantum communication, and quantum cryptography, which are part of a larger interdisciplinary field embedding information science in a quantum mechanical framework. Topics addressed are...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th Asian Computing Science Conference, ASIAN 2009, held in Seoul, Korea, in December 2009. The 7 revised full papers and 3 revised short papers presented together with 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 45 submissions. Focusing on the theory and practice of information security and privacy, the papers include topics of deducibility constraints, symmetric encryption modes, dynamic security domains and policies, cryptography, formal verification of quantum programs, decision of static equivalence, authenticated...

The 15th International Conference on DNA Computing and Molecular P- gramming was held during June 8-11, 2009 on the campus of the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, AR. The conference attracts researchers from d- parate disciplines in science and technology to foster interdisciplinary research into the molecular-scale manipulation of matter. In particular, implementation ofnanoscalecomputation andprogrammedassemblyof materialsareofinterest. Papersat the conference typically are a mix of experimentaland theoreticalp- sentations. Theconferenceis heldunder...

In a dynamic computing environment, such as the Grid, resource management plays a crucial role for making distributed resources available on-demand to anyone from anywhere at any time without undermining the resource autonomy; this becomes an art when dealing with heterogeneous resources distributed under multiple trust domains spanning across the Internet. Today Grid execution environments provide abstract workflow descriptions that need a dynamic mapping to actual deployments; this further accentuates the importance of resource management in the Grid.
