Concepts like ubiquitous computing and ambient intelligence that exploit - creasingly interconnected networks and mobility put new requirements on data management. An important element in the connected world is that data will be accessible anytime anywhere. This also has its downside in that it becomes easier to get unauthorized data access. Furthermore, it will become easier to collect, store, and search personal information and endanger people's privacy. As a result security and privacy of data becomes more and more of an issue. Therefore, secure data management, which is also privacy-enhanced, turns out to be a challenging goal that will also seriously in?uence the acceptance of ub- uitous computing and ambient intelligence concepts by society. With the above in mind, we organized the SDM 2004 workshop to initiate and promote secure data management as one of the important interdisciplinary - search ?elds that brings together people from the security research community and the data management research community. The call for papers attracted 28 submissions both from universities and industry. The program committee selected 15 researchpapers for presentation at the workshop.The technical c- tributions presented at the SDM workshop are collected in this volume, which, wehope, willserveasavaluableresearchandreferencebookinyourprofessional life.

This volume contains the proceedings of the 7th International Workshop on Software and Compilers for Embedded Systems, SCOPES 2003, held in Vienna, Austria, September 24-26, 2003. Initially, the workshop was referred to as the International Workshop on Code Generation for Embedded Systems. The ?rst workshop took place in 1994 in Schloss Dagstuhl, Germany. From its beg- nings, the intention of the organizers was to create an atmosphere in which the researcherscould participateactively in dynamic discussionsand pro't from the assembly of international experts in the ?eld. It was at the fourth workshop, in St. Goar, Germany, in 1999, that the spectrum of topics of interest for the workshop was extended, and not only code generation, but also software and compilers for embedded systems, were considered. The change in ?elds of interest led to a change of name, and this is when the present name was used for the ?rst time. Since then, SCOPES has been held again in St. Goar, Germany, in 2001; Berlin, Germany, in 2002; and this year, 2003, in Vienna, Austria. In response to the call for papers, 43 very strong papers from all over the world were submitted. The program committee selected 26 papers for pres- tation at SCOPES 2003. All submitted papers were reviewed by at least three experts in order to ensure the quality of the work presented at the workshop.

The 7th Annual Financial Cryptography Conference was held January 27-30, 2003, in Guadeloupe, French West Indies. Financial Cryptography is organized by the International Financial Cryptography Association. Financial Cryptography 2003 received 54 paper submissions, of which one was withdrawn. The remaining papers were carefully reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. The program committee selected 17 papers for inclusion in the conference, revised versions of which are included in this proceedings. In addition to the submitted papers, the program included interesting and entertaining invited talks by Tim Jones on digital cash and by Richard Field on the interactions between technology and the United Nations. There were also several panels, on micropayments, economics of security, and trusted computing platforms, some of which are represented by contributions in these proceedings, and a rump session chaired by Juan Garay. We thank the program committee (listed on the next page) for their hard work in selecting the program from these papers. We also thank the external referees who helped with the reviewing task: N.

Designing Collaborative Systems: A Practical Guide to Ethnography introduces a new 'ethnographic' approach that will enable designers to create collaborative and interactive systems, which are employed successfully in real-world settings. This new approach, adapted from the field of social research, considers both the social circumstances and the level and type of human interaction involved, thereby ensuring that future ethnographic systems are as user-friendly and as effective as possible. This book provides the practitioner with an invaluable introduction to this approach, and presents a unique set of practical strategies for incorporating it into the design process. Divided into four distinct sections with practical examples throughout, the book covers:- the requirements problem; - ethnographic practices for describing and analysing cooperative work; - the design process; and - the role of ethnography when evaluating systems supporting cooperative work. "Of the various perspectives that jostle together under the rubric of ethnography, ethnomethodology has often held the most appeal for designers. Yet, surprisingly, there has not been a systematic explication of ethnography and ethnomethodology for the purposes of system design. Andy Crabtree puts this to rights in a comprehensive, informative, and accessible practical guide which will be of great value to not only designers but also the ethnographers who work with them." (Graham Button, Lab. Director, Xerox Research Centre, Europe) "Not only is the book a must for those interested in bringing a social dimension to the system design process, it also makes a significant contribution to ethnomethodology." (Professor John A. Hughes, Lancaster University, UK)

Linux-based operating systems are extremely powerful and flexible, but unlocking that power and flexibility requires knowledge and understanding of how the systems work. "Tuning and Customizing a Linux System" goes beyond the mere basics of using and administrating Linux systemsit covers how the systems are "designed." Through detailed analyses of popular Linux distributions, real-world case studies, and example configurations and administration tasks, you will come away with a genuine mastery of Linux-based operating systems (as well as Unix-like systems in general).

"Tuning and Customizing a Linux System" is geared toward users of Linux systems who already know the basics but aren't yet gurus. The author fills in the gaps left by other books, creating a bridge from the basic "how to" to the plane of true mastery. You'll find detailed examples of what a Linux distribution actually consists of, and youll explore explore three popular distributions in detail, learning useful techniques along the way. This comprehensive guide provides you with a complete, practical understanding of what's going on under the covers.

"Writing Perl Modules for CPAN" offers Perl developers a comprehensive guide to using and contributing to the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN). Starting with a general overview of CPAN's history, network topology, and navigational mechanisms, the book quickly brings you up-to-speed regarding how to search out and install available modules. However, in the true open source spirit, author and experienced Perl developer Sam Tregar teaches you how to not only use, but also contribute to CPAN via an in-depth discussion of module creation, submission, and maintenance.

Beginning with a survey of basic design principles, Tregar takes care to discuss all issues relevant to developers wishing to create great Perl modules, including choosing a proper name, properly using Perl's POD (plain old documentation) feature, concepts surrounding functional and object-oriented API development, and much more. Tregar then proceeds with a complete dissertation of how modules should conform to CPAN module specifications, covering required distribution files and coding considerations, in addition to offering advice regarding proper module testing. After demonstrating how to create a module and prepare it for release, Tregar guides you through the CPAN module submission process and discusses module maintenance once the module has been contributed to the CPAN service.

"Writing Perl Modules for CPAN" is an indispensable guide for anyone wishing to make the most of the CPAN service.
