As Asynchronous Transfer Mode technology becomes more widely used and consequently more critical, fault tolerance in ATM switches is considered to be of major importance, as it is quite unacceptable to have total disruption of operation due to failure in a part of the switch. In the present paper a new grid-based self-routing ATM switch fabric is presented, which exhibits great characteristics as far as fault tolerance is concerned, without employing redundancy. Fault tolerance is studied, by employing the metric of "survival probability" in order to evaluate the behavior of the architecture under concurrent failures.

Process network synthesis (PNS) has enormous practical impact;however, its solution is difficult in general. This experience has been recently reasoned by Blázsik and Imreh who pointed out that PNS-problems are NP-hard. They proved that a simple subclass of PNS-problems is equivalent to the class of set covering problems. In the present paper, it is shown that more general classes of PNS-problems can also be reformulated as set covering problems. This enables the sophisticated techniques developed for solving set covering problems also to be applied for solving some PNS-problems.

Background A group of UKexperts on Scientific Visualization and its associated applications gathered at The Cosener's House in Abingdon, Oxford shire (UK) in February 1991 to consider all aspects of scientific visualization and to produce a number of documents: • a detailed summary of current knowledge, techniques and appli cations in the field (this book); • an Introductory Guide to Visualization that could be widely dis tributed to the UK academic community as an encouragement to use visualization techniques and tools in their work; • a Management Report (to the UK Advisory Group On computer Graphics - AGOCG) documenting the principal results of the workshop and making recommendations as appropriate. This book proposes a framework through which scientific visualiza tion systems may be understood and their capabilities described. It then provides overviews of the techniques, data facilities and human-computer interface that are required in a scientific visualiza tion system. The ways in which scientific visualization has been applied to a wide range of applications is reviewed and the availab.e products that are scientific visualization systems or contribute to sci entific visualization systems are described. The book is completed by a comprehensive bibliography of literature relevant to scientific visualization and a glossary of terms. VI Scientific Visualization Acknowledgements This book was predominantly written during the workshop in Abingdon. The participants started from an "input document" pro duced by Ken Brodlie, Lesley Ann Carpenter, Rae Earnshaw, Julian Gallop (with Janet Haswell), Chris Osland and Peter Quarendon.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 2011 ICSOC Workshops consisting of 5 scientific satellite events, organized in 4 tracks: workshop track (WESOA 2011; NFPSLAM-SOC 2011), PhD symposium track, demonstration track, and industry track; held in conjunction with the 2011 International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing (ICSOC), in Paphos, Greece, December 2011. The 39 revised papers presented together with 2 introductory descriptions address topics such as software engineering services; the management of service level agreements; Web services and service composition; general or domain-specific challenges of service-oriented computing and its transition towards cloud computing; architecture and modeling of services; workflow management; performance analysis as well as crowdsourcing for improving service processes and for knowledge discovery.
