Bücher von Michael Kifer

* Data warehousing and semantic data mining * Spatial, temporal, multimedia and multimodal semantics * Semantics in data visualization * Semantic services for mobile users * Supporting tools * Applications of semantic-driven approaches These topics are to be understood as specifically related to semantic issues. Contributions submitted to the journal and dealing with semantics of data will be considered even if they are not from the topics in the list. While the physical appearance of the journal issues is like the books from the we- known Springer LNCS series, the mode of operation is that of a journal. Contributions can be freely submitted by authors and are reviewed by the Editorial Board. Contributions may also be invited, and nevertheless carefully reviewed, as in the case for issues that contain extended versions of best papers from major conferences addressing data semantics issues. Special issues, focusing on a specific topic, are coordinated by guest editors once the proposal for a special issue is accepted by the Editorial Board. Finally, it is also possible that a journal issue be devoted to a single text.

The goal of this book is to help fill in the void in the Logic Programming (LP) literature. It offers a number of overviews on key aspects of LP that are suitable for researchers and practitioners as well as graduate students.

This book is an introduction to the design and implementation of operating systems using OSP 2, the next generation of the highly popular OSP courseware for undergraduate operating system courses. The book allows students to practice these skills in a realistic operating systems programming environment.
