Complex Systems and Clouds: A Self-Organization and Self-Management Perspective provides insights into the intricate world of self-organizing systems. Large scale distributed computer systems have evolved into very complex systems and are at the point where they need to borrow self-adapting organizing concepts from nature. The book explores complexity in big distributed systems and in the natural processes in physics and chemistry, building a platform for understanding how self-organization in big distributed systems can be achieved. It goes beyond the theoretical description of self-organization to present principles for designing self-organizing systems, and concludes by showing the need for a paradigm shift in the development of large-scale systems from strictly deterministic to non-deterministic and adaptive.

Emerging at the intersection of Physics, Mathematics, and Computer Science, Quantum Information Science has transformed the landscape of information processing in the last two decades. Quantum Information Processing focuses on the innovative methods for transforming, storing, and transmitting quantum information, offering a groundbreaking approach that challenges traditional concepts of information technology. This discipline promises to reshape our understanding and application of information in the quantum realm.

Focusing on process coordination and ubiquitous computing, this collection features articles from a mini-workshop at the University of Central Florida in December 2001. It presents insights and discussions from experts in the field, highlighting advancements and challenges in integrating computing into everyday environments. The compilation serves as a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners interested in the intersection of technology and coordination processes.
