It is important to understand what came before and how to meld new products with legacy systems. Network managers need to understand the context and origins of the systems they are using. Programmers need an understanding of the reasons behind the interfaces they must satisfy and the relationship of the software they build to the whole network. And finally, sales representatives need to see the context into which their products must fit.

The Second International Conference on Forensic Applications and Techniques in Telecommunications, Information and Multimedia (e-Forensics 2009) took place in Adelaide, South Australia during January 19-21, 2009, at the Australian National Wine Centre, University of Adelaide. In addition to the peer-reviewed academic papers presented in this volume, the c- ference featured a significant number of plenary contributions from recognized - tional and international leaders in digital forensic investigation. Keynote speaker Andy Jones, head of security research at British Telecom, outlined the emerging challenges of investigation as new devices enter the market. These - clude the impact of solid-state memory, ultra-portable devices, and distributed storage – also known as cloud computing. The plenary session on Digital Forensics Practice included Troy O’Malley, Que- sland Police Service, who outlined the paperless case file system now in use in Que- sland, noting that…

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Parallel Computation, ACPC'99, held in Salzburg, Austria in February 1999; the conference included special tracks on parallel numerics and on parallel computing in image processing, video processing, and multimedia.
The volume presents 50 revised full papers selected from a total of 75 submissions. Also included are four invited papers and 15 posters. The papers are organized in topical sections on linear algebra, differential equations and interpolation, (Quasi-)Monte Carlo methods, numerical software, numerical applications, image segmentation and image understanding, motion estimation and block matching, video processing, wavelet techniques, satellite image processing, data structures, data partitioning, resource allocation and performance analysis, cluster computing, and simulation and applications.

This volume contains the proceedings of the 23rd International Conference on Application and Theory of Petri Nets. The aim of the Petri net conferences is to createaforumfordiscussingprogressinthe applicationandtheoryofPetrinets. Typically, the conferences have 100-150participants - one third of these coming from industry while the rest are from universities and research institutions. The conferences always take place in the last week of June. The conference and a number of other activities are co-ordinated by a ste- ing committee with the following members: G. Balbo (Italy), J. Billington (A- tralia),G.De Michelis(Italy),S.Haddad(France),K.Jensen(Denmark),S.- magai (Japan), T. Murata (USA), C.A. Petri (Germany; honorary member), W. Reisig (Germany), G. Rozenberg (The Netherlands; chairman), and M. Silva (Spain). Other activities before and during the 2002 conference included tool dem- strations, extensive introductory tutorials, two advanced tutorials on "Work?ow Management:…

A detailed study of the work of web designers, drawing on empirical research carried out from the birth of web design as an area of work in the 1990s to its professionalisation in the twenty-first century.

The 1999 International Workshop on Interactive Distributed Multimedia Sys­ tems and Telecommunication Services (IDMS) in Toulouse is the sixth in a se­ ries that started in 1992. The previous workshops were held in Stuttgart in 1992, Hamburg in 1994, Berlin in 1996, Darmstadt in 1997, and Oslo in 1998. The area of interest of IDMS ranges from basic system technologies, such as networking and operating system support, to all kinds of teleservices and distributed multimedia applications. Technical solutions for telecommunications and distributed multimedia systems are merging and quality-of-service (QoS) will play a key role in both areas. However, the range from basic system tech­ nologies to distributed mutlimedia applications and teleservices is still very broad and we have to understand the implications of multimedia applications and their requirements for middleware and networks. We are challenged to develop new and more fitting solutions for all distributed…

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Interactive Distributed Multimedia Systems and Telecommunication Services, IDMS'97, held in Darmstadt, Germany, in September 1997. The 41 revised full papers presented in the book were selected from over 100 submissions. The papers are organized in sections on media coding and content processing, development and interoperability, on-demand systems, multicast and FEC, video server and systems, video transmission, production and authoring, multimedia applications, mobility, CSCW and system performance, MM communication over ATM networks, CSCW and teleteaching, QoS for media presentations, QoS and scaling.

This book focuses on one of the most exciting aspects of the Internet: the broadcasting of multimedia content. It draws together research from projects by some of the most active and prominent research groups and individuals working in this field across the world. The text explores multimedia webcast issues such as quality technology and interface. It will be of particular interest to research groups and students in the field of internet technology, technical specialists in networks and telematics, and computer scientists involved in event broadcasts and remote skills transfer. The book is one of the first titles in our new series, Computer Communications and Networks.
