The present book's subject is multidimensional data models and data modeling concepts as they are applied in real data warehouses. The book aims to present the most important concepts within this subject in a precise and understandable manner. The book's coverage of fundamental concepts includes data cubes and their elements, such as dimensions, facts, and measures and their representation in a relational setting; it includes architecture-related concepts; and it includes the querying of multidimensional databases. The book also covers advanced multidimensional concepts that are considered to be particularly important. This coverage includes advanced dimension-related concepts such as slowly changing dimensions, degenerate and junk dimensions, outriggers, parent-child hierarchies, and unbalanced, non-covering, and non-strict hierarchies. The book offers a principled overview of key implementation techniques that are particularly important to multidimensional databases, including materialized views, bitmap indices, join indices, and star join processing. The book ends with a chapter that presents the literature on which the book is based and offers further readings for those readers who wish to engage in more in-depth study of specific aspects of the book's subject. Table of Contents: Introduction / Fundamental Concepts / Advanced Concepts / Implementation Issues / Further Readings

This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on TrustManagement,heldinOxford,UK,during29March-1April2004.Thec- ference followed a very successful 1st International Conference on Trust Ma- gement held in Crete in 2003. Both conferences were organized by iTrust, which is a working group funded as a thematic network by the Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) unit of the Information Society Technologies (IST) program of the European Union. The purpose of the iTrust working group is to provide a forum for cro- disciplinary investigation of the applications of trust as a means of increasing security, building con?dence and facilitating collaboration in dynamic open - stems. The notion of trust has been studied independently by di?erent academic disciplines, which has helped us to identify and understand di?erent aspects of trust. The aim of this conference was to provide a common forum, bringing together researchers from di?erent academic branches, such as the technolo- oriented disciplines, law, social sciences and philosophy, in order to develop a deeper and more fundamental understanding of the issues and challenges in the area of trust management in dynamic open systems.The response to this conference was excellent; from the 48 papers submitted to the conference, we selected 21 full papers and 6 short papers for presentation. Theprogramalsoincludedthreekeynoteaddresses,givenbyJe?Bradshawfrom theInstituteforHumanandMachineCognitionattheUniversityofWestFlorida (USA), Ian Walden who is Director of the Computer-Related Crime Research Centre at Queen Mary, University of London (UK), and Massimo Marchiori from the World Wide Web Consortium, as well as three panels and a full day of tutorials.

Projekt som organisationsform har blivit allt vanligare inom den offentliga sektorn och därmed också inom välfärdssektorns kärnområden: vården, omsorgen och skolan. Att organisera i projekt utlovar en början och ett slut och däremellan nyskapande, experimenterande och entreprenörskap. Det utlovar såväl ordning och kontroll som frihet och gränsöverskridande.I boken presenteras fyra typer av projekt som är vanliga i offentlig sektor: förändringsprojekt, försöksprojekt, samverkansprojekt och uppdragsprojekt. Men framför allt får läsaren verktyg för att kunna förstå den ­av­görande betydelse som omgivningen har för projektets genomförande och resultat. Boken innehåller många konkreta exempel.Projektledning i offentliga organisationer vänder sig till alla som vill ha en djupare förståelse för vad det innebär att bedriva projekt i offentliga organisa­tioner. Den är lämplig att använda på alla nivåer av akademiska utbildningar och för personer som arbetar med organisationsutveckling.

Allt oftare diskuteras offentlig sektor som drivkraft i det samhället. Deras effektivitet och kvalitet ska helst öka, samtidigt som de ska möta hållbarhetsutmaningar. Ofta sjösätts tillfälliga projekt och forcerade handlingsplaner. Arbetssättet väcker frågor om offentliga verksamheters strategiska förmåga att ta sig an utmaningar och skörda erfarenheterna från tidigare projekt.
