This in mind, the book has four main sections: Part I has a look at robustness in terms of underlying technologies and infrastr- tures upon which many computer-based "intelligent" systems reside and inves- gates robustness on the hardware and software level, but also in larger environments such as the Internet and self-managing systems.

The perspectives and techniques used in human-computer interaction design, practice and research are broadening.

This volume contains more than 50 papers from Interoperability for Enterprise Software and Applications, I-ESA 2008. The papers range from academic research through case studies to industrial and administrative experience of interoperability.

Digital Divide (DD) is a term that defines the division between people, commu- ties, states, countries, etc. Some people suffer from mental and physical disabilities that are real impediments to access ICTs, and they must be studied in detail. Can the ICTs be used to improve the accessibility of disabled people?

This book gathers chapters from some of the top international empirical software engineering researchers focusing on the practical knowledge necessary for conducting, reporting and using empirical methods in software engineering.

This comprehensive book draws together experts to explore how knowledge technologies can be exploited to create new multimedia applications, and how multimedia technologies can provide new contexts for the use of knowledge technologies.
