The Great White sharks off Surf Shore are the biggest, most dangerous in the world. This season, there are more than ever - aggressive and territorial - driven from surrounding hunting grounds by invading orcas.Great Whites have already attacked two boats. Six people have been killed.Now the orcas have followed the sharks to Surf Shore.Dr. Pete Nichols, Killer Whale specialist, senses the tempest. Shark-expert, Dr. Lauren Palmer believes she can stop it. For Kate Foster, it is theater - a spectacle to be exploited.But it will soon be life and death for them all.Because in a war of alpha-killers, humans are nothing but prey.

As network science and technology continues to gain popularity, it becomes imperative to develop procedures to examine emergent network domains, as well as classical networks, to help ensure their overall optimization. Advanced Methods for Complex Network Analysis features the latest research on the algorithms and analysis measures being employed in the field of network science. Highlighting the application of graph models, advanced computation, and analytical procedures, this publication is a pivotal resource for students, faculty, industry practitioners, and business professionals interested in theoretical concepts and current developments in network domains.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Symposium on Stabilization, Safety, and Security of Distributed Systems, SSS 2009, held in Lyon, France, in November 2009. The 49 revised full papers and 14 brief announcements presented together with three invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 126 submissions. The papers address all safety and security-related aspects of self-stabilizing systems in various areas. The most topics related to self-* systems. The special topics were alternative systems and models, autonomic computational science, cloud computing, embedded systems, fault-tolerance in distributed systems / dependability, formal methods in distributed systems, grid computing, mobility and dynamic networks, multicore computing, peer-to-peer systems, self-organizing systems, sensor networks, stabilization, and system safety and security.
