ThisvolumeconstitutestheproceedingsoftheSixthInternationalConferenceon Flexible Query Answering Systems, FQAS 2004, held in Lyon, France, on June 24–26, 2004. FQAS is the premier conference for researchers and practitioners concerned with the vital task of providing easy, ?exible, and intuitive access to information for every type of need. This multidisciplinary conference draws on several research areas, including databases, information retrieval, knowledge representation, soft computing, multimedia, and human-computer interaction. With FQAS 2004, the FQAS conference series celebrated its tenth anniversary as it has been held every two years since 1994. The overall theme of the FQAS conferences is innovative query systems aimed at providing easy, ?exible, and intuitive access to information. Such systems are intended to facilitate retrieval from information repositories such as databases, libraries, and the Web. These repositories are typically equipped with standard query systems that are often inadequate for users. The focus of FQAS is the development of query systems that are more expressive, informative, cooperative, productive, and intuitive to use.

Where is system architecture heading? The special interest group on computer and Systems Architecture (Fachausschuss Rechner- und Systemarchitektur) of the German computer and information technology associations GI and ITG a- ed this question and discussed it during two Future Workshops in 2002. The result in a nutshell: Everything will change but everything else will remain. Future systems technologies will build on a mature basis of silicon and IC technology,onwell-understoodprogramminglanguagesandsoftwareengineering techniques, and on well-established operating systems and middleware concepts. Newer and still exotic but exciting technologies like quantum computing and DNA processing are to be watched closely but they will not be mainstream in the next decade. Although there will be considerable progress in these basic technologies, is there any major trend which uni?es these diverse developments? There is a common denominator – according to the result of the two - ture Workshops – which marks a new quality. The challenge for future systems technologies lies in the mastering of complexity. Rigid and in?exible systems, built under a strict top-down regime, have reached the limits of manageable complexity, as has become obvious by the recent failure of several large-scale projects. Nature is the most complex system we know, and she has solved the problem somehow. We just haven’t understood exactly how nature does it. But it is clear that systems designed by nature, like an anthill or a beehive or a swarm of birds or a city, are di?erent from today’s technical systems that have beendesignedbyengineersandcomputerscientists.

This book discusses physical and mathematical models, numerical methods, computational algorithms and software complexes, which allow high-precision mathematical modeling in fluid, gas, and plasma mechanics; general mechanics; deformable solid mechanics; and strength, destruction and safety of structures. These proceedings focus on smart technologies and software systems that provide effective solutions to real-world problems in applied mechanics at various multi-scale levels. Highlighting the training of specialists for the aviation and space industry, it is a valuable resource for experts in the field of applied mathematics and mechanics, mathematical modeling and information technologies, as well as developers of smart applied software systems.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Flexible Query Answering Systems, FQAS 2009, held in Roskilde, Denmark, in October 2009. The 57 papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 90 submissions. They are structured in topical sections on database management, information retrieval, extraction and mining, ontologies and semantic web, intelligent information extraction from texts, advances in fuzzy querying, personalization, preferences, context and recommendation, and Web as a stream.

Challenging management to face up to the realities of computers, this paper makes a strong case for recognition of software (programming) as the second half of a computer system. A step-by-step review of the decisions involved in planning the successful implementation of a computer system is given. The software (programming) is broken down into four functions: program specifications, program planning, program manufacture, and program installation. In each, a concise description of the work and the qualifications necessary to perform it are provided. A training program is added that includes descriptions of training courses, on-the-job training recommendations, and prerequisite qualifications of personnel being considered for such training. A concluding section deals with a discussion of factors to be considered by management in determining whether the customer should buy programming or develop the capability to do it with his own organization.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 11th International Symposium on Trends in Functional programming, TFP 2010, held in Norman, OK, USA, in May 2010. The 13 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 26 submissions during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers cover new ideas for refactoring, managing source-code complexity, functional language implementation, graphical languages, applications of functional programming in pure mathematics, type theory, multitasking and parallel processing, distributed systems, scientific modeling, domain specific languages, hardware design, education, and testing.
