This volume of the Lecture Notes in computer Science series contains the papers accepted for presentation at the Third International Conference on Autonomous - frastructure, Management and Security (AIMS 2009). The conference took place in Enschede, The Netherlands, hosted by the University of Twente. AIMS 2009 was - ganized and supported by the EC IST-EMANICS Network of Excellence (#26854) and co-sponsored by IFIP WG 6.6 and the Strategic Research Orientation of the University of Twente on Dependable systems and Networks (DSN). AIMS 2009 constituted the Third edition of a single-track and standalone c- ference on management and security aspects of distributed and autonomous systems, which took place initially in Oslo, Norway in June 2007, followed by AIMS 2008 in Bremen, Germany. The theme of the AIMS 2009 conference was “Scalability of Networks and S- vices,” focusing on how scalable networked systems can be monitored, managed, and protected in an ef cient and autonomous way. The research papers that have been - lected for publication in the present proceedings have approached this theme from d- ferent perspectives, covering topics such as network resource management, overlays andpeer-to-peernetworks,networkcon gurationandoptimization,andmonitoringand visualization.

I have been using the first edition of this book as a text for a number of years. This was in a Stanford University first-year graduate course that is taken by students from electricalengineering or computer Science who are interested in computer organization. Because computer tech nology has been changing so rapidly, it became necessary to supplement the text with additional readings. My colleagues and I examined many newly-published books for possible use as texts. We found no book with the same excellent choice of topics and thorough coverage as Dr. Gschwind's first edition. Springer-Verlag's request that I prepare a second edition of this book came at a time when I had many other projects underway. Before I de cided whether to take on the project of preparing a revision, I asked many of my students for their opinions of Dr. Gschwind's first edition. Even I was surprised by the enthusiasm that this rather skeptical and critical group of students displayed for the book. It was this enthusiasm that convinced me of the value and importance of preparing the revision.

The First International Workshop on Traffic Monitoring and Analysis (TMA 2009) was an initiative from the COST Action IC0703 "Data Traffic Monitoring and Analysis: Theory, Techniques, Tools and Applications for the Future Networks" (***). The COST program is an intergovernmental framework for European Cooperation in Science and Technology, allowing the coordination of nationally funded research on a European level. Each COST Action contributes to reducing the fragmentation in research and opening the European Research Area to cooperation worldwide. Traffic monitoring and analysis (TMA) is now an important research topic within the field of networking. It involves many research groups worldwide that are coll- tively advancing our understanding of the Internet. The importance of TMA research is motivated by the fact that modern packet n- works are highly complex and ever-evolving objects. Understanding, developing and managing such environments is difficult and expensive in practice. Traffic monitoring is a key methodology for understanding telecommunication technology and improving its operation, and the recent advances in this field suggest that evolved TMA-based techniques can play a key role in the operation of real networks. Moreover, TMA offers a basis for prevention and response in network security, as typically the det- tion of attacks and intrusions requires the analysis of detailed traffic records. On the more theoretical side, TMA is an attractive research topic for many reasons.

How weIl can we model experimental observations of the peripheral auditory system'? What theoretical predictions can we make that might be tested'? It was with these questions in mind that we organized the 1985 Mechanics of Hearing Workshop, to bring together auditory researchers to compare models with experimental observations. Tbe workshop forum was inspired by the very successful 1983 Mechanics of Hearing Workshop in Delft [1]. Boston University was chosen as the site of our meeting because of the Boston area's role as a center for hearing research in this country. We made a special effort at this meeting to attract students from around the world, because without students this field will not progress. Financial support for the workshop was provided in part by grant BNS- 8412878 from the National Science Foundation. Modeling is a traditional strategy in science and plays an important role in the scientific method. Models are the bridge between theory and experiment. Tbey test the assumptions made in experimental designs. They are built on experimental results, and they may be used to test hypotheses and predict experimental results. Tbe latter is the scientific method at its best. Cochlear function is very complicated. For this reason, models play animportant role. One goal of modeling is to gain understanding, but the necessary mathematical tools are often formidably complex. An ex am pie of this is found in cochlear macromechanics.

As robots increasingly permeate diverse domains like healthcare, education, service industries, and homes, accurately understanding humans’ responses to and behaviour towards robots is crucial. While many HRI studies focus on either quantitative or qualitative approaches, we advocate a mixed-method approach. This study investigated robot norm violations by implementing a scenario where a mobile manipulator robot and a human, in-person, carry out a physical, competitive task. Sixty-two participants were recruited and randomly assigned to either an experimental or a control condition (balanced for age/gender). The scenario was a competitive scavenger hunt game where participants took turns with a robot. We investigated the robot behaviours’ effects on trust, discomfort, competence, enjoyment, participant behaviour, and physiological changes. The mixed-method approach integrated physiological measurements, behavioural observations, and qualitative responses, thus offering a comprehensive account of human-robot interaction dynamics in the context of norm violations. Questionnaire results reveal significant shifts in human perceptions and attitudes when social norms are violated by robots, compared to a norm-compliant control condition. Specifically, trust and enjoyment decrease, discomfort increases, and the robot’s perceived competence is compromised. These findings are extended through additional analyses of participants’ physiological changes, behaviours, and responses to open-ended questions. Behavioural observations indicated increased verbal engagement and emotional responses, while physiological data showed elevated stress levels in the experimental group. Our study highlights the advantage of a mixed-methods approach combining different qualitative and quantitative data, providing a more comprehensive picture of participants’ perceptions of a robot, and how they react and respond to robot norm violations.
