This book is an introduction to the design and implementation of operating systems using OSP 2, the next generation of the highly popular OSP courseware for undergraduate operating system courses. Coverage details process and thread management; memory, resource and I/0 device management; and interprocess communication. The book allows students to practice these skills in a realistic operating systems programming environment. An Instructors Manual details how to use the OSP Project Generator and sample assignments. Even in one semester, students can learn a host of issues in operating...

For more than the last three decades, the security of software systems has been an important area of computer science, yet it is a rather recent general recognition that technologies for software security are highly needed.

This book assesses the state of the art in software and systems security by presenting a carefully arranged selection of revised invited and reviewed papers. It covers basic aspects and recently developed topics such as security of pervasive computing, peer-to-peer systems and autonomous distributed agents, secure software circulation, compilers for fail-safe C...

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Systems, IPTPS 2004, held in La Jolla, CA, USA, in February 2004.

The 27 revised full papers presented together with a workshop report were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement from 145 submissions. All in all, the papers document the state of the art in peer-to-peer computing research; they are organized in topical sections on networking, routing, load balancing and scheduling, applications, security, and miscellaneous.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed postproceedings of the 10th International Workshop on Job Scheduling Strategies for Parallel Processing, JSSPP 2004, held in New York, NY in June 2004.

The 15 revised full research papers presented together with a report on scheduling on the Top 50 machines went through two rounds of reviewing and improvement. Various current issues in job scheduling and load balancing are addressed in the context of computing clusters, parallel and distributed systems, multi-processor systems, and supercomputers.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Systems, IPTPS 2005, held at Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, USA, in February 2005.

The 24 revised full papers were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvements from 123 submissions. The papers document the state of the art in peer-to-peer computing research. They are organized in topical sections on security and incentives, search, multicast, overlay algorithms, empirical studies, and network locality. The proceedings also include a report with a...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing, ATC 2006, held in Wuhan, China in September 2006. The 57 revised full papers presented together with two keynotes were carefully reviewed and selected from 208 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 12th International Workshop on Job Scheduling Strategies for Parallel Processing, JSSPP 2006, held in Saint-Malo, France in June 2006 in conjunction with the Joint International Conference on Measurement and Modeling of Computer Systems SIGMETRICS/Performance 2006. The 12 revised full research papers cover all current issues of job scheduling strategies for parallel processing.

No fewer than 55 revised full papers are presented in this volume, all given at the 4th International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing, held in Hong Kong, China in July 2007. The papers, presented together with one keynote lecture, were carefully reviewed and selected from 223 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on, among others, cryptography and signatures, autonomic computing and services, and secure and trusted computing.
