This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Numerical Methods and Applications, NMA 2010, held in Borovets, Bulgaria, in August 2010. The 60 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions for inclusion in this book. The papers are organized in topical sections on Monte Carlo and quasi-Monte Carlo methods, environmental modeling, grid computing and applications, metaheuristics for optimization problems, and modeling and simulation of electrochemical processes.

Research into the next generation of service architecture techniques has enabled the design, development, and implementation of dynamic, adaptive, and autonomic services to enable enterprises to efficiently align information technology with their agile business requirements and foster smart services and seamless enterprise integration. Handbook of Research on Architectural Trends in Service-Driven Computing explores, delineates, and discusses recent advances in architectural methodologies and development techniques in service-driven computing. This comprehensive publication is an inclusive reference source for organizations, researchers, students, enterprise and integration architects, practitioners, software developers, and software engineering professionals engaged in the research, development, and integration of the next generation of computing.

The Third International Conference on Network Security and Applications (CNSA-2010) focused on all technical and practical aspects of security and its applications for wired and wireless networks. The goal of this conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to focus on understanding modern security threats and countermeasures, and establishing new collaborations in these areas. Authors are invited to contribute to the conference by submitting articles that illustrate research results, projects, survey work and industrial experiences describing significant advances in the areas of security and its applications, including: • Network and Wireless Network Security • Mobile, Ad Hoc and Sensor Network Security • Peer-to-Peer Network Security • Database and System Security • Intrusion Detection and Prevention • Internet Security, and Applications Security and Network Management • E-mail Security, Spam, Phishing, E-mail Fraud • Virus, Worms, Trojon Protection • Security Threats and Countermeasures (DDoS, MiM, Session Hijacking, Replay attack etc. ) • Ubiquitous Computing Security • Web 2. 0 Security • Cryptographic Protocols • Performance Evaluations of Protocols and Security Application There were 182 submissions to the conference and the Program Committee selected 63 papers for publication. The book is organized as a collection of papers from the First International Workshop on Trust Management in P2P Systems (IWTMP2PS 2010), the First International Workshop on Database Management Systems (DMS- 2010), and the First International Workshop on Mobile, Wireless and Networks Security (MWNS-2010).

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing, ICSOC 2011, held in Paphos, Cyprus, in December 2011.
