Overview: ETAPS 2005 was the eighth instance of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software. ETAPS is an annual federated conference that was established in 1998 by combining a number of existing and new conf- ences. This year it comprised ?ve conferences (CC, ESOP, FASE, FOSSACS, TACAS), 17 satellite workshops (AVIS, BYTECODE, CEES, CLASE, CMSB, COCV, FAC, FESCA, FINCO, GCW-DSE, GLPL, LDTA, QAPL, SC, SLAP, TGC, UITP), seven invited lectures (not including those that were speci?c to the satellite events), and several tutorials. We received over 550 submissions to the ?ve

Overview: Logic and object-orientation have come to be recognized as being among the most powerful paradigms for modeling information systems. The term "information systems" is used here in a very general context to denote database systems, software development systems, knowledge­ base systems, proof support systems, distributed systems and reactive systems. One of the most vigorously researched topics common to all information systems is "formal modeling". An elegant high-level abstraction applicable to both application domain and system domain concepts will always lead to a system design fro

Overview: Presents the general problems of sealing units and their classifications.Lists the modern problems of frictional contacts of elastomers.Analyses the relation between the fracture mechanism and the relThis book summarizes the results of years of research on the problem of strength and fracture of polymers and elastomers. It sets out the modern approach to the strength theory from the standpoint of fractals, the kinetic and thermodynamic theories as well as the meso-mechanic destruction. The dimension reduction method is applied to model the friction processes in elastomers subjected t

Overview: Transport in nanoporous solids: molecular sieves to polymers.Combination/interactions of experimental and theoretical approaches to transport.Myriad of techniques and theories compared and explained.DThe last several years have seen a dramatic increase in the synthesis of new nanoporous materials. The most promising include molecular sieves which are being developed as inorganic or polymeric systems with 0. 3-30nm in pore dimensions. These nanoporous solids have a broad spectrum of applications in chemical and biochemical processes. The unique applications of molecular sieves are bas

Overview: Explains the multifaceted dialectic at hand.Shows how it shapes the foundations of science, our thought, and the very reality itself.Addresses the important tension between content and context and imp.This highly interdisciplinary book, covering more than six fields, from philosophy and sciences all the way up to the humanities and with contributions from eminent authors, addresses the interplay between content and context, reductionism and holism and their meeting point: the notion of emergence. Much of today’s science is reductionist (bottom-up); in other words, behaviour on one le

Overview: Focuses on the theoretical fundamentals of order and rank statistics.Provides careful step-by-step details of the presented results.Includes a large number of examples and exercisesThis book is devoted to the fundamentals of order and rank statistics. Primarily focusing on theoretical properties, it also discusses practical aspects, including interesting applications of step and impulse functions for the distribution of random variables, magnitudes, and signs. New concepts are introduced, such as independent and semi-identically distributed random vectors and probability density-mass

Overview: Analyzes frontier issues through a multidisciplinary approach.Allows access to specialized knowledge through the different chapters.Presents a constant dialogue between theoretical, legal and empiricaThis book focuses on current frontier-related issues such as humanitarian crises, economic crises, discrimination of migrants in certain countries, different typologies of borders such as land, maritime, air, space, and even cyberspace borders, and environmental protection of water resources at borders. It addresses legal and theoretical considerations and presents empirical cases showin

Overview: Explores a range of legal issues that touch on the British Indian Ocean Territory.Explores the relationship between environmental considerations and human rights issues.Considers the impact on indigenThis book offers a detailed account of the legal issues concerning the British Indian Ocean Territory (Chagos Islands) by leading experts in the field. It examines the broader significance of the ongoing Bancoult litigation in the UK Courts, the Chagos Islanders‘ petition to the European Court of Human Rights and Mauritius‘ successful challenge, under the UN Convention of the Law of the

Overview: Myofasziale Syndrome zutreffend erkennen.Ursachen für myofaszial bedingte Schmerzen und Funktionsstörungen verstehen.Klinik, Diagnostik, beschwerdespezifische Behandlung.In der Arztpraxis suchen oft Patienten Rat, deren Beschwerden funktioneller Natur sind und nicht unmittelbar über Labor oder Bildgebung einer Organerkrankung zugeordnet werden können. Zahlreiche dieser Störungen wie Schmerzen, Schwindel, Tinnitus, Kloßgefühl oder der "Fersensporn" haben fasziale Ursachen. Das Fasziale Organ ist das Organ der Körperdedektion, welches Bewegung und damit auch Verhalten in enger Abstimmu

Overview: A unique overview on amounts of food waste generation in the Baltic Sea Region countries.Country statistics on food waste generation, available for the first time and resulting from 6 months research.This work presents the findings of an extensive study on the state-of-the-art regarding the problem of food waste in Belarus, Estonia, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Sweden. The results show that the problem of food waste can be found at different levels in each country and that our knowledge of it is limited by the current lack of studies in the area. The problem is primarily du

Overview: First thorough and unified treatment of fuzzy modeling and fuzzy control that provides necessary tools for the control of complex nonlinear systems.Technology based on fuzzy logic methodology has many.Fuzzy logic methodology has been proven effective in dealing with complex nonlinear systems containing uncertainties that are otherwise difficult to model. Technology based on this methodology has been applied to many real-world problems, especially in the area of consumer products. This book presents the first unified and thorough treatment of fuzzy modeling and fuzzy control, providin

Overview: This title contains theoretical advances in various areas of fractal theory.The above advances are applied to areas in which fractal theory is already well established.Image compression and chemical eOwing to the rapid emergence and growth of techniques in the engineering application of fractals, it has become necessary to gather the most recent advances on a regular basis. This book is a continuation of the first volume - published in 1997 - but contains interesting developments. A major point is that mathematics has become more and more involved in the definition and use of fractal

Overview: Links the foundations of economic theory to empirical environmental concepts and policies.Focuses on both national and global environmental problems and policy instruments.Offers readers guidance in tThis textbook provides a solid introduction to the theoretical and empirical aspects of environmental economics, and their links to environmental policy. It advocates drawing on the economist’s toolbox as a powerful means of finding solutions to environmental problems by addressing the conflict between the societal costs of pollution on the one hand, and the financial costs of emissions

Overview: Comprehensive introduction to polymer colloids – latex - and their transformation into films, coatings and adhesives.In-depth description of the three main stages of latex film formation.Review of theThis book has emerged out of our long-time research interests on the topic of latex film formation. Over the years we have built up a repertoire of slides used in conference presentations, short courses and tutorials on the topic. The story presented in this book has thereby taken shape as it has been told and re-told to a mix of academic and industrial audiences. The book presents a wid
