Each submission was reviewed by at least three Program Committee members. They all re?ect thescopeoftheconferenceandcoverthe following topics: semantics of obje- oriented programming; formal techniques for speci?cation, analysis, and re?- ment; model checking; theorem proving and deductive veri?cation;type systems and behavioral typing; formal methods for service-oriented computing; integ- tion of quality of service requirements into formal models; formal approaches to component-based design; and applications of formal methods.

Facelets is a templating language developed from the ground up with JavaServer Faces in mind. Created in response to the many concerns involving JavaServer Pages (JSP)when building JavaServer Faces (JSF)views, Facelets steps outside of the JSP specification and provides a highly performant, JSFcentric view technology. Facelets' top properties, templating, reuse, and ease of development, allow it to help making JSF a technology suitable for largescale projects. One of the first things a developer using Facelets finds is that it immediately leads to a reduction inuser interfacecode.

Facelets Essentials, the first book on Facelets, introduces you to its importance, architecture, and relationship to JSF and the Apache MyFaces web framework. Learn to create your first application using the power and flexibility Facelets offers. Then, master and apply its basic and advanced features including Unified Expression Language, templating and reuse, custom tag development, and more. What you'll learn See why you should use Facelets and the Facelets architecture Create your first application with Facelets Use the Facelets Unified Expression Language Explore Facelets templating and reuse, as well as the tag reference and custom tag development Create composition components Extend the ViewHandler Who this book is for

This book is for Java web developers who are using or experienced with JavaServer Faces and perhaps learning to use the MyFaces web framework.

This volume contains the papers presented at CP 2009: The 15th International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming. It was held from September 20-24, 2009 at the Rectory of the New University of Lisbon, Portugal. Everyone involved with the conference thanks our sponsors for their support. There were 128 submissions to the research track, of which 53 were accepted for a rate of 41.4%. Each submission was reviewed by three reviewers, with a small number of additional reviews obtained in exceptional cases. Each review waseitherbyaProgrammeCommitteemember,orbyacolleagueinvitedtohelp by a committee member thanks to their particular expertise. Papers submitted as long papers were accepted at full length or not at all. It is important to note that papers submitted as short papers were held to the same high standards of qualityas long papers. There is thus no distinction in these proceedings between long and short papers, except of course the number of pages they occupy. As it happens, the acceptancerates of short and long papers wereverysimilar indeed. Therewere13submissionstotheapplicationtrack,ofwhich8wereaccepted, fora rateof61.5%.Papersunderwentthe samereviewprocessasregularpapers, and there was not a separate committee for reviewing application track papers. However, papers in the application track were not required to be original or novel research, but to be original and novel as an application of constraints.

Models have become essential for supporting the development, analysis and e- lution of large-scale and complex IT systems. Models allow di?erent views, p- spectives and elements of a system to be captured rigorously and precisely, thus allowing automated tools to manipulate and manage the models. In a full-?edged model-driven engineering (MDE) process, the transformations developed and - pressed between models are also key. Model transformations allow the de?nition and implementation of the operations on models, and also provide a chain that enables the automated development of a system from its corresponding m- els. Model transformations are already an integral part of any model-driven approach, and there are a number of available model transformation languages, tools, and supporting environments; some of these approaches are now approa- ing maturity. Nevertheless, much work remains: the research community and industry need to better understand the foundations and implications of model transformations, such as the key concepts and operators supporting transfor- tion languages, their semantics, and their structuring mechanisms and properties (e. g. , modularity, composability and parametrization). The e?ect of using model transformations on organizations and development processes - particularly when applied to ultra-large scale systems, or in distributed enterprises - is still not clear. These issues, and others related to the speci?cation, design, implemen- tion, analysis and experimentation with model transformation, are the focus of these proceedings. The Second International Conference on Model Transformation (ICMT 2009) was held in late June 2009 in Zurich, Switzerland.

This volume contains the proceedings of the 9th International Symposium on Functional and Logic Programming (FLOPS 2008), held in Ise, Japan, April 14-16, 2008 at the Ise City Plaza.

There is no royal road to science, and only those who do not dread the fatiguing climb of its steep paths have a chance of gaining its luminous summits. Karl Marx A Universial Genius of the 19th Century Many scientists from all over the world during the past two years since the MLDM 2007 have come along on the stony way to the sunny summit of science and have worked hard on new ideas and applications in the area of data mining in pattern r- ognition. Our thanks go to all those who took part in this year's MLDM. We appre- ate their submissions and the ideas shared with the Program Committee. We received over 205 submissions from all over the world to the International Conference on - chine Learning and Data Mining, MLDM 2009. The Program Committee carefully selected the best papers for this year's program and gave detailed comments on each submitted paper. There were 63 papers selected for oral presentation and 17 papers for poster presentation. The topics range from theoretical topics for classification, clustering, association rule and pattern mining to specific data-mining methods for the different multimedia data types such as image mining, text mining, video mining and Web mining. Among these topics this year were special contributions to subtopics such as attribute discre- zation and data preparation, novelty and outlier detection, and distances and simila- ties.

This volume contains the proceedings of the 22nd International Conference on Automated Deduction (CADE-22). The conference was hosted by the School of Computer Science at McGill University, Montreal, Canada, during August 2-7, 2009. CADE is the major forum for the presentation of research in all aspects of automated deduction. Within this general topic the conference is devoted to foundations, applications, implementations and practical experiences. CADE was founded in 1974 when it was held in Argonne, USA. Since then CADE has been organized ?rst on a bi-annual basis mostly and since 1996 on an annual basis, in 2001, 2004, 2004, 2006 and 2008 as a constituent of IJCAR. This year the Program Committee selected 32 technical contributions out of 77 initial submissions. Of the selected papers 27 were regular papers and 5 were system papers. Each paper was refereed by at least three reviewers on its sign- icance, technical quality, originality, quality of presentation and relevance to the conference. The refereeing process and the Program Committee meeting were conducted electronically via the Internet using the EasyChair conference m- agement system. The program included three invited lectures by distinguished experts in the area: Instantiation-Based Automated Reasoning: From Theory to Practice by Konstantin Korovin(The Universityof Manchester, UK), Integrated Reasoning and Proof Choice Point Selection in the Jahob System: Mechanisms for Program Survival by Martin Rinard (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA), and Building Theorem Provers byMarkStickel(SRIInternational, U

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Declarative Agent Languages and Technologies, DALT 2007, held in Honolulu, HI, USA, in May 2007 as an associated event of AAMAS 2007, the main international conference on autonomous agents and multi-agent systems.

The 11 revised full papers presented together with 1 keynote lecture and 2 invited papers from the AAMAS main conference - substantially enhanced after the workshop - were carefully selected for inclusion in the book. The papers combine declarative and formal approaches with engineering and technology aspects of agents and multiagent systems and focus especially on modeling, goals, foundational concepts, and communication.

We are pleased to present the proceedings of the First International Conf- ence on Software LanguageEngineering (SLE 2008). The conference was held in th Toulouse, FranceduringSeptember29-30,2008andwasco-locatedwiththe11 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Model-Driven Engineering Languages and Systems (MODELS 2008). The SLE conference series is devoted to a wide range of topics related to arti?cial languages in software engineering. SLE is an international research forum that brings together researchers and practitioners from both industry and academia to expand the frontiers of software language engineering. Historically, SLE emerged from two established workshop series: LDTA, Language Descriptions, Tools, and Applications, which has been a sat- lite event at ETAPS for the last 9 years, and ATEM which has been co-located with MODELS and WCRE for 5 years. SLE'sforemostmissionis to encourageand organizecommunicationbetween communities that have traditionally looked at software languagesfrom di?erent, more specialized, and yet complementary perspectives. SLE emphasizes the f- damental notion of languages as opposed to any realization in speci?c technical spaces. In this context, the term "software language" comprises all sorts of - ti?cial languages used in software development including general-purpose p- gramming languages, domain-speci?c languages, modeling and meta-modeling languages, data models, and ontologies. Software language engineering is the application of a systematic, disciplined, quanti?able approach to the devel- ment, use, andmaintenanceoftheselanguages. TheSLEconferenceisconcerned with all phases of the lifecycle of software languages; these include the design, implementation, documentation, testing, deployment, evolution, recovery, and retirement of languages.

The Elements of C++ Style is for all C++ practitioners, especially for those working in teams where consistency is critical. Just as Strunk and White’s The Elements of Style provides rules of usage for writing in the English language, this text furnishes a set of rules for writing in C++. The authors offer a collection of standards and guidelines for creating solid C++ code that will be easy to understand, enhance and maintain. The book provides conventions for:* formatting* naming* documentation * programming* and packagingfor the latest ANSI standard of C++, and also includes discussion of advanced topics such as templates.

This book contains the best papers of the Second International Conference on So- ware and Data Technologies (ICSOFT 2007), held in Barcelona, Spain. It was org- ized by the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Communication and Control (INSTICC), co-sponsored by the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC), in cooperation with the Interdisciplinary Institute for Collaboration and Research on Enterprise Systems and Technology (IICREST). The purpose of ICSOFT 2007 was to bring together researchers and practitioners int- ested in information technology and software development. The conference tracks were "Software Engineering," "Information Systems and Data Management," "Programming Languages," "Distributed and Parallel Systems" and "Knowledge Engineering." Being crucial for the development of information systems, software and data te- nologies encompass a large number of research topics and applications: from imp- mentation-related issues to more abstract theoretical aspects of software engineering; from databases and data warehouses to management information systems and kno- edge-base systems; next to that, distributed systems, pervasive computing, data quality and other related topics are included in the scope of this conference.

This second editon describes C as defined by the ANSI standard. This book is meant to help the reader learn how to program in C. The book assumes some familiarity with basic programming concepts like variables, assignment statements, loops, and functions. A novice programmer should be able to read along and pick up the language.
