This edited volume explores the analytical possibilities of
contrasting Brazil and the United Kingdom as examples of emerging
and established powers, respectively. It is organised around
several themes focusing on the roles of Brazil and the United
Kingdom in the management of global economic governance,
international development, international security, the politics of
regional integration, global climate change governance, and the
political leveraging of sports mega-events. Each chapter explores
Brazil's and/or the UK's particular foreign policies and their
resulting impact on these key areas of global governance and
politics. The conceptual focus is on these states' motivations as
either status-seekers (Brazil) or status-maintainers (UK) in the
context of a fast moving international landscape. The chapters in
this book directly or indirectly indicate that these states wish to
draw attention to their aspiring or established positions as key
global players through either visible foreign policy action and/or
symbolic rhetoric. This book was originally published as a special
issue of Global Society.

The resilience of computing systems includes their dependability as
well as their fault tolerance and security. It defines the ability
of a computing system to perform properly in the presence of
various kinds of disturbances and to recover from any service
degradation. These properties are immensely important in a world
where many aspects of our daily life depend on the correct,
reliable and secure operation of often large-scale distributed
computing systems. Wolter and her co-editors grouped the 20
chapters from leading researchers into seven parts: an introduction
and motivating examples, modeling techniques, model-driven
prediction, measurement and metrics, testing techniques, case
studies, and conclusions. The core is formed by 12 technical
papers, which are framed by motivating real-world examples and case
studies, thus illustrating the necessity and the application of the
presented methods. While the technical chapters are independent of
each other and can be read in any order, the reader will benefit
more from the case studies if he or she reads them together with
the related techniques. The papers combine topics like modeling,
benchmarking, testing, performance evaluation, and dependability,
and aim at academic and industrial researchers in these areas as
well as graduate students and lecturers in related fields. In this
volume, they will find a comprehensive overview of the state of the
art in a field of continuously growing practical importance.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th
International Workshop on Software Engineering for Resilient
Systems, SERENE 2014, held in Budapest, Hungary, in October 2014.
The 11 revised technical papers presented together with one project
paper and one invited talk were carefully reviewed and selected
from 22 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections
on design of resilient systems; analysis of resilience;
verification and validation; and monitoring.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 14
the European Workshop on Dependable Computing, EWDC 2013, held in
Coimbra, Portugal, in May 2013. The 9 full papers and 6 short
papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 24
submissions. Also included in the volume are 6 fast abstracts
presenting work in progress or new ideas in the dependability area.
The papers are organized in topical sections on wireless sensor
networks; cloud computing and services; testing and fault
detection, fault injection and benchmarking and dependable and
secure computing.

On-Line Transaction Processing (OLTP) systems are the core of the
information systems that support the daily operations of
organizations. The nonexistence of a practical way to evaluate
dependability attributes, typically leads systems administrators to
concentrate on performance tuning and neglect the aspects related
to dependability. Transactional systems industry holds a
well-established infrastructure for performance evaluation, where
the benchmarks from the Transactional Performance Processing
Council (TPC) represent the most successful benchmarking initiative
of all computer industry. However, as performance evaluation has
been the main focus, there are no dependability benchmarks for OLTP
systems. This book addresses the dependability benchmarking problem
and presents the DBench-OLTP benchmark. This benchmark specifies
the measures and all components required to evaluate and compare
performance and dependability in typical transactional systems. The
use of DBench-OLTP is demonstrated through the evaluation and
comparison of several systems that represent real alternatives for
typical transactional environments, such as many e-commerce
applications.
