Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -nd The 2 WorkshoponEmergingWeb ServicesTechnology(WEWST¿07) wasco- th catedwiththe5 EuropeanConferenceonWebServices(ECOWS¿07)whichtook place in November 2007 in Halle (Saale),Germany. WEWST focuses on research contributions advancing the state of the art in Web Services technologies. The main goal of the WEWST workshop is to serve as a forum for providing early exposure and much needed feedback to grow and establish original and emerging ideas within the Web Services community. The wide variety of tools,techniques and technologicalsolutions presentedin WEWST shareone common feature:they advance the currentWeb Servicesresearchin new directions by introducing new, sometimes controversial, ideas into the eld. As such, WEWST is the natural extension to the main ECOWS conference. Asitcanbeseenfromtheworkshopprogram,thespectrumofresearchtopics related to such emergent technologies includes: the challenge of adopting RESTful Web Services and Resource Oriented Architectures; Dynamic Web Service D- covery, Selection and Composition; extensions to the standard Business Process Execution Language; the management of composite Web Services; the delivery of well de ned Quality of Service guarantees; the performance evaluation of Web Services. These are all still among the hot topics in Web Services research since no satisfactory solution has been found yet.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 204 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -A general architecture for service delivery and coordination in intelligent agent-based peer-to-peer (IP2P) environments, that has been developed within the CASCOM research project, is presented in this book. The CASCOM architecture provides support for business services for mobile workers and users across mobile and fixed networks. To its users, the CASCOM architecture makes easy and seamless access available to Semantic Web Services anytime, anywhere, and using any device. The system has successfully been validated in trials in healthcare applications, in particular in emergency medical assistance.The CASCOM architecture addresses the problem of seamlessly combining various novel technologies that establish the basis for self-adaptable and self-healing systems including semantic service discovery, matchmaking, composition planning and semantic service composition, reliable execution of composite services, and semantic failure handling. The book provides an in-depth introduction into these areas, presents how they have been extended in order to best support the needs for agent-based service coordination in IP2P environment, and finally shows how the different agents can be seamlessly combined.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 396 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Twenty years after the idea of this Carotenoids book series was first discussed, we are finally reaching the end of the project. Carotenoids Volumes 4 and 5 now move us into the great field of biology, and cover the functions of carotenoids and the actions of carotenoids in nutrition and health. In the classic 1971 Isler book Carotenoids, carotenoid functions were covered in just one chapter. Now, thanks to technical developments and multidisciplinary approaches that make it possible to study functional processes in great detail, this subject is the most rapidly expanding area of carotenoid research, and occupies two full volumes. These can be used as stand-alone books, but they are really planned to be used together and to complete the coverage of the carotenoid field begun in earlier volumes, as the final part of a coordinated series. The general philosophy and strategy of the series, to have expert authors review, analyse and present information and give guidance on practical strategies and procedures is maintained in Volumes 4 and 5, though the subject matter does not lend itself to the kind of detailed Worked Examples that were featured in earlier volumes. It has also been the aim that these publications should be useful for both experienced carotenoid researchers and newcomers to the field.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 404 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Angiogenesis is an essential component of inflammation and its resolution. Traditionally, mechanisms of angiogenesis in inflammation were inferred from tumour angiogenesis. However, research in recent years has extracted the similarities and dissimilarities between these processes.This volume shows how the lessons learned from tumour biology have been applied to inflammation. It develops current knowledge on molecular and cellular mechanisms as they relate to inflammation, including acute and chronic inflammation and neurogenic inflammation, It explains the roles of the multiple cellular components of inflammation, such as fibroblasts, dendritic cells and lymphocytes.The book shows how this knowledge is being used in the discovery of novel therapeutics. It brings together experts in each of these fields to link the molecular and cellular processes in angiogenesis to those of inflammation and human disease.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 196 pp. Englisch.

Some of the content of this book is based on research carried out by the author and his collaborators in recent years. Most of it has been previously published only in original papers,andsomeofthematerialhasneverbeenpublisheduntilnow.Therefore,theauthor hopes that the book will bene t both the interested beginner in the eld and the expert. AllthemodelsunderconsiderationinChapters2 10arebuiltonnonlinearevolution equations that are parabolic-hyperbolic coupled systems of partial differential equations with time t as one of the independentvariables. This type of partial differential equations arises not only in many elds of mathematics, but also in other branches of science such as physics, mechanics and materials science, etc. For example, some models studied in this book, such as the compressible Navier-Stokes equations (a 1D heat conductive v- cous real gas and a polytropic ideal gas) from uid mechanics, and thermo(visco)elastic systemsfrommaterialsscience, are typicalexamplesof nonlinearevolutionaryequations. It is well known that the properties of solutions to nonlinear parabolic-hyperbolic coupledsystems are very different from those of parabolicor hyperbolicequations. Since the 1970s,more andmore mathematicianshave begunto focustheir interests onthe study of local well-posedness, global well-posedness and blow-up of solutions in a nite time. 468 pp. Englisch.
