This book assembles contributions from computer scientists and librarians that altogether encompass the complete range of tools, tasks and processes needed to successfully preserve the cultural heritage of the Web. It combines the librarian s application knowledge with the computer scientist s implementation knowledge, and serves as a standard introduction for everyone involved in keeping alive the immense amount of online information.

This textbook presents mathematical models in bioinformatics and describes biological problems that inspire the computer science tools used to manage the enormous data sets involved. The first part of the book covers mathematical and computational methods, with practical applications presented in the second part. The mathematical presentation avoids unnecessary formalism, while remaining clear and precise. The book closes with a thorough bibliography, reaching from classic research results to very recent findings. This volume is suited for a senior undergraduate or graduate course on...

Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) is now a mature problem-solving family of heuristics that has found its way into many important real-life problems and into leading-edge scientific research. Spatially structured EAs have different properties than standard, mixing EAs. By virtue of the structured disposition of the population members they bring about new dynamical features that can be harnessed to solve difficult problems faster and more efficiently. This book describes the state of the art in spatially structured EAs by using graph concepts as a unifying theme. The models, their analysis, and...

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 11th International Workshop on Selected Areas in Cryptography, SAC 2004, held in Waterloo, Canada in August 2004.

The 24 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers are organized in topical sections on stream cipher analysis, side channel analysis, block cipher design, efficient implementations, secret key cryptography, cryptanalysis, and cryptographic protocols.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed postproceedings of the International Conference on Computational Methods in Systems Biology, CMSB 2004, held in Paris, France in May 2004.

The 16 revised full papers and 7 revised short papers presented together with an invited paper went through two rounds of reviewing, selection and revision. The papers present a variety of techniques from computer science, such as language design, concurrency theory, software engineering, and formal methods, for biologists, physicists, and mathematicians interested in the systems-level understanding of...

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Third International Conference on Sequences and Their Applications, SETA 2004, held in Seoul, Korea in October 2004.

The 30 revised full papers presented together with 4 invited survey articles were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement from initially 59 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on complexity of sequences, perfect sequences, sequence construction, sequences modulo z, sequence generator properties and applications, multi-dimensional sequences, optics and OFDM...

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Financial Cryptography and Data Security, FC 2005, held in Roseau, The Commonwealth Of Dominica, in February/March 2005.

The 24 revised full papers presented together with the abstracts of one invited talk and 2 panel statements were carefully reviewed and selected from 90 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on threat and attacks, digital signing methods, privacy, hardware oriented mechanisms, supporting financial transactions, systems, applications, and...
