This book details both the basic concepts of software performance analysis and state-of-the-art methodologies. It starts from performance primers and goes through software and performance modeling notations to the latest transformation-based methodologies.

In today s world, services and data are integrated in ever new constellations, requiring the easy, flexible and scalable integration of autonomous, heterogeneous components into complex systems at any time.

Event-based architectures inherently decouple system components. Event-based components are not designed to work with specific other components in a traditional request/reply mode, but separate communication from computation through asynchronous communication mechanisms via a dedicated notification service.

Muhl, Fiege, and Pietzuch provide the reader with...

Die Entwicklung hochkomplexer automotiver Infotainmentsysteme bestehend aus einer Headunit und weiteren Komponenten wie Audio- und Videoelementen, Kommunikationseinheiten, Navigationssystemen und Sensorik erfordert solides Domanenwissen und umfassendes Know-how im Software-Engineering.

Das vorliegende Buch gibt eine fundierte Darstellung der softwareseitigen Implementierung dieser Komponenten innerhalb eines komplexen Frameworks.

Im ersten Teil des Buches werden wichtige Grundlagen zu Eingebetteten Systemen und den fur diese Systeme charakteristischen...

Joseph Dvorak has over 10 years experience in wearable technology and design. He led the Conformables project at Motorola which researched highly wearable and easy to use devices and applications. He was the Motorola Scientist in Residence at the MIT Media Lab from 2005 - 2007. He is an Adjunct Professor at Florida Atlantic University where he teaches courses in wearable technology and systems. He holds 14 patents in wearable technology. He is currently the Technology Futurist in the Motorola Corporate Technology Office. He has a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Illinois at...

The 7 revised full papers, 11 revised medium-length papers, 6 revised short, and 7 demo papers presented together with 10 poster/abstract papers describing late-breaking work were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. Provenance has been recognized to be important in a wide range of areas including databases, workflows, knowledge representation and reasoning, and digital libraries. Thus, many disciplines have proposed a wide range of provenance models, techniques, and infrastructure for encoding and using provenance. The papers investigate many facets of data...

"The Testing Network" presents an integrated approach to testing based on cutting-edge methodologies, processes and tools in today's IT context. It means complex network-centric applications to be tested in heterogeneous IT infrastructures and in multiple test environments (also geographically distributed). The added-value of this book is the in-depth explanation of all processes and relevant methodologies and tools to address this complexity. Main aspects of testing are explained using TD/QC - the world-leader test platform.

This up-to-date know-how is based on real-life IT...

Security and Dependability for Ambient Intelligence is the primary publication for the SERENITY approach which provides security and dependability (S&D) solutions for dynamic, highly distributed and heterogeneous systems. The term Ambient Intelligence identifies an ambitious vision for pushing technological developments, that will enable heterogeneous networked systems and devices with computing capabilities (cars, house applications, mobile phones etc.). The objective of SERENITY is to enhance the security and dependability of ambient intelligence systems by providing a...

Do-All Computing for Distributed Systems: Cooperation in the Presence of Adversity studies algorithmic issues associated with cooperative execution of multiple independent tasks by distributed computing agents including partitionable networks.

Recent results have shed light on the understanding of how adversity affects efficiency, by presenting failure-sensitive upper and lower bounds for Do-All in several models for computation. The ability to cooperatively perform a collection of tasks is key to solving a broad array of computation problems ranging from...
