Description

Peer-to-peer networking is a disruptive technology for large scale distributed app- cations that has recently gained wide interest due to the successes of peer-to-peer (P2P) content sharing, media streaming, and telephony applications. There are a large range of other applications under development or being proposed. The - derlying architectures share features such as decentralizaton, sharing of end system resources, autonomy, virtualization, and self-organization. These features constitute the P2P paradigm. This handbook broadly addresses a large cross-section of c- rent research and state-of-the-art reports on the nature of this paradigm from a large number of experts in the ?eld. Several trends in information and network technology such as increased perf- mance and deployment of broadband networking, wireless networking, and mobile devices are synergistic with and reinforcing the capabilities of the P2P paradigm. There is general expectation in the technical community that P2P networking will continue to be an important tool for networked applications and impact the evo- tion of the Internet. A large amount of research activity has resulted in a relatively short time, and a growing community of researchers has developed. The Handbook of Peer-to-Peer Networking is dedicated to discussions on P2P networks and their applications. This is a comprehensive book on P2P computing.

Description

Numerical simulations are in world wide use for the investigation of hydro- and thermodynamic processes in natural waters. In spite of the fact that great achievements have been brought about in this field, numerous questions still remain unanswered, with respect to fundamental formulations as well as to methods of solu- tion. One of the principal objectives of research in our days is the verification of numerical models. The Symposium on "Mathematical Modelling in Estuarine PhysiCS" was held at Hamburg, Aug. 24 - 26, 1978, with the objective of for- mulating the present standing of research work and of the most im- portant problems in this field. Aspects of physical oceanography and of coastal engineering were to be considered. Estuarine phys- ics were a suitable topic as both disciplines have many points in common there. Eighty-five scientists from sixteen countries convened for two and a half days to discuss details with much interest. We wish to thank them as well as the authors for their contributions. Further, we wish to express our gratitude to the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft), Bonn-Bad Godesberg, to the Special Research Project 79 "Research in Coastal Waters" (Sonder- forschungsbereich 79 "Wasserforschung im Klistenbereich"), and to the German Hydrographic Institute (Deutsches Hydrographisches Institut), Hamburg, for sponsoring the meeting and for helping with the organization.
