Das Buch behandelt Kommunikationskonzepte, die auf die Verarbeitungsstrukturen und Interaktionsmuster verteilter transaktionsorientierter Systeme zugeschnitten sind. Neben einer ausführlichen Diskussion der vorgestellten Konzepte, werden die zu ihrer Implementierung notwendigen Protokolle und Strukturen beschrieben. Außerdem wird der vorgestellte Ansatz mit den Normungsvorschlägen der ISO bezüglich Synchronisation, Recovery und Commitment in Offenen Systemen verglichen. Es wird ein neues Adressierungskonzept vorgestellt, das die in verteilten transaktionsorientierten Systemen auftretenden Interaktionsformen in geeigneter Weise unterstützt. Darüberhinaus ist die beschriebene Kommunikationskomponente die erste, die Dienste zur Unterstützung geschachtelter Transaktionen zur Verfügung stellt. Das Ziel des Buches ist es, die speziellen Kommunikationsbedürfnisse verteilter transaktionsorientierter Systeme aufzuzeigen und auf diese Bedürfnisse zugeschnittene Konzepte, Dienste und Protokolle zu erarbeiten. Dieses Buch ist die erste Publikation, die die oben beschriebene Thematik so umfassend und in dieser Tiefe darstellt.

This book presents the refereed proceedings of the First International Conference on Mobile Agents, MA '97, held in Berlin, Germany, in April 1997.Mobile Agents offer unique opportunities for structuring and implementing distributed systems. A wide range of applications has been identified for mobile agent technology, including electronic commerce, telecommunication services, network management, group work, and workflow management.The 18 revised full papers presented in the volume were selected out of a total of 34 submissions; all in all they reflect the state of the art in the exciting area of mobile agent technology.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Mobile Agents, MA'98, held in Stuttgart, Germany, in September 1998.The 21 revised full papers presented were carefully selected from a total of 45 submissions; also included are three invited contributions. The book is divided in topical sections on mechanisms for mobile agent systems, mobile agent architechtures, applications, mobile agent systems, security, and communication.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the first International Workshop on Quality of Context, QuaCon 2009, held in Stuttgart, Germany, in June 2009. The 11 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 19 submissions and included in the volume together with 5 invited papers. Discussed are interdisciplinary approaches to context quality, such as models for degradation and consistency of context data, spatial ontologies and spatial data mining, trust in context data, methods and calculi for context quality assessment, frameworks and metrics for context quality, uncertainty in sensor data processing, quality-aware algorithms for context management, quality-aware event and stream processing, uncertainty in reasoning on context data, application-specific context quality and case studies, and visualization of context quality.
