This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Formal Aspects in Security and Trust, FAST 2008, held under the auspices of IFIP WG 1.7 in Malaga, Spain, in October 2008 as a satellite event of 13th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security. The 20 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 59 submissions. The papers focus of formal aspects in security, trust and reputation, security protocol design and analysis, logics for security and trust, trust-based reasoning, distributed trust management syst

75 years is a remarkable lifetime for any institution, especially if one considers the impressive changes that public administration has undergone. The ICT revolution has radically altered the way public administration operates. Also the traditional design of bureaucratic organizations has been seriously reshaped because of a communicational flow that is intense and pervasive as never before. But the most intriguing change affecting public administration is the world-wide battle for democracy and political participation. Later, the issue of globalization and the growing mismatch between govern

The aim of this volume is to provide a synthetic account of past research, to give an up-to-date guide to current intertwined developments of control theory and nonsmooth analysis, and also to point to future research directions. Contents: Multiscale Singular Perturbations and Homogenization of Optimal Control Problems (M Bardi et al.); Patchy Feedbacks for Stabilization and Optimal Control: General Theory and Robustness Properties (F Ancona & A Bressan); Sensitivity of Control Systems with Respect to Measure-Valued Coefficients (Z Artstein); Systems with Continuous Time and Discrete T

The leading theme of the book is complexity in quantum dynamics. This issue is addressed by comparison with the classical ergodic, information and algorithmic complexity theories. Of particular importance is the notion of Kolmogorov-Sinai dynamical entropy and of its inequivalent quantum extensions formulated by Connes, Narnhofer and Thirring on one hand and Alicki and Fannes on the other. Their connections with extensions to quantum systems of Kolmogorov-Chaitin-Solomonoff algorithmic complexity theory is also presented. The technical tools employed are those of the algebraic approach to qua

This volume is the first to bring together the fast-growing research on self-continuity from multiple perspectives within and beyond social psychology. The book covers individual and collective aspects of self-continuity, while a final section explores the relationship between these two forms. Topics include environmental and cultural influences on self-continuity; the interplay of autobiographical memory and personal self-continuity; the psychological function of self-continuity; personal and collective self-continuity; and resistance to change. The volume is rounded off with commentaries on

This book covers all aspects of embedded systems design using HCS08 microcontrollers and it was conceived to be not only a learning book, but also a complete reference guide to help design engineers in their projects. Every chapter was conceived to provide a solid knowledge with an increasing learning curve, from basic input/output experiments to more complex experiments using timers, serial communication and other peripherals. The last chapter presents some applications using the HCS08 microcontrollers such as: thermometer, analog bar graph, slave I2C device, RC servo controller, RC rel

The last twenty years have witnessed tremendous advances in the mathematical, statistical, and computational tools available to applied macroeconomists. This rapidly evolving field has redefined how researchers test models and validate theories. Yet until now there has been no textbook that unites the latest methods and bridges the divide between theoretical and applied work. Fabio Canova brings together dynamic equilibrium theory, data analysis, and advanced econometric and computational methods to provide the first comprehensive set of techniques for use by academic economists as well as pro
