This book constitutes the proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Passive and Active Measurement, PAM 2016, held in Heraklion, Crete, Greece, in March/April 2016.
The 30 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 93 submissions. They are organized in topical sections named: security and privacy; mobile and cellular; the last mile; testbeds and frameworks; web; DNS and routing; IXPs and MPLS; and scheduling and timing.

The 25 revised full papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 60 submissions. The papers cover the following topics: Autotuning and Thread Mapping; Data Locality and Decomposition; Scalable Applications; Machine Learning; Datacenters and Cloud; Communication Runtime; Intel Xeon Phi; Manycore Architectures; Extreme-scale Computations; and Resilience.

As the plethora of approaches to biometrics and their deployment continues to grow, so too does the need to combat the techniques used to subvert the aim of such biometric systems.

Presenting the first definitive study of the subject, this Handbook of Biometric Anti-Spoofing reviews the state of the art in covert attacks against biometric systems, and in deriving countermeasures to these attacks. Across a range of common biometrics, including face, iris, fingerprint, speaker and gait, the book describes spoofing methods and examines the vulnerabilities of biometric systems to...

Consolidating recent research in the area, the Handbook on Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing: Status and Perspective illustrates the design, implementation, and deployment of mobile and ubiquitous systems, particularly in mobile and ubiquitous environments, modeling, database components, and wireless infrastructures.
Supplying an overarching perspective, the book is ideal for researchers, graduate students, and industry practitioners in computer science and engineering interested in recent developments in mobile and ubiquitous computing. It discusses new trends in intelligent...

This timely text/reference presents a comprehensive overview of fault tolerance techniques for high-performance computing (HPC).

The text opens with a detailed introduction to the concepts of checkpoint protocols and scheduling algorithms, prediction, replication, silent error detection and correction, together with some application-specific techniques such as algorithm-based fault tolerance. Emphasis is placed on analytical performance models. This is then followed by a review of general-purpose techniques, including several checkpoint and rollback recovery protocols. Relevant...

Cloud computing has recently emerged as a subject of substantial industrial and academic interest, though its meaning and scope is hotly debated. For some researchers, clouds are a natural evolution towards the full commercialisation of grid systems, while others dismiss the term as a mere re-branding of existing pay-per-use technologies. From either perspective, "cloud" is now the label of choice for accountable pay-per-use access to third party applications and computational resources on a massive scale. Clouds support patterns of less predictable resource use for applications and...
