Open Distributed Processing contains the selected proceedings of the Third International Conference on Open Distributed Systems, organized by the International Federation for Information Processing and held in Brisbane, Australia, in February 1995. The book deals with the interconnectivity problems that advanced computer networking raises, providing those working in the area with the most recent research, including security and management issues.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th IFIP WG 6.1 International Conference on Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems, DAIS 2007, held in Paphos, Cyprus in June 2007. It covers current research in context-awareness, adaptation, mobility, distributed applications and peer-to-peer computing, all of which relate to the sustainability of distributed applications and integrated systems.

This volume focuses on the design, implementation, deployment and evaluation of distributed systems platforms and architectures for future networked environments. Issues addresses in the text include: ORB architectures and engineering; event based systems; workflow environments; scalability in distributed systems platforms; availability and integrity; mobile objects; component architectures; type safety and security; web services; and application services. This book compiles the proceedings of Middleware '98, the IFIP International Conference on Distributed Systems Platforms and Open...
