This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the physics
of laser-plasma interactions (LPI), based on a graduate course
taught by the author. The emphasis is on high-energy-density
physics (HEDP) and inertial confinement fusion (ICF), with a
comprehensive description of the propagation, absorption, nonlinear
effects and parametric instabilities of high energy lasers in
plasmas. The recent demonstration of a burning plasma on the verge
of nuclear fusion ignition at the National Ignition Facility in
Livermore, California, has marked the beginning of a new era of ICF
and fusion research. These new developments make LPI more relevant
than ever, and the resulting influx of new scientists necessitates
new pedagogical material on the subject. In contrast to the
classical textbooks on LPI, this book provides a complete
description of all wave-coupling instabilities in unmagnetized
plasmas in the kinetic as well as fluid pictures, and includes a
comprehensive description of the optical smoothing techniques used
on high-power lasers and their impact on laser-plasma
instabilities. It summarizes all the key developments from the
1970s to the present day in view of the current state of LPI and
ICF research; it provides a derivation of the key LPI metrics and
formulas from first principles, and connects the theory to
experimental observables. With exercises and plenty of
illustrations, this book is ideal as a textbook for a course on
laser-plasma interactions or as a supplementary text for graduate
introductory plasma physics course. Students and researchers will
also find it to be an invaluable reference and self-study resource.

Architecture Description Languages is an essential reference for
both academic and professional researchers in the field of system
engineering and design. The papers presented in this volume were
selected from the workshop of the same name that was held as part
of the World Computer Congress 2004 Conference, held in Toulouse,
France in August 2004. This collection presents significant
research and innovative developments and applications from both
academic researchers and industry practitioners on topics ranging
from Semantics to Tool and Development Environments. The aim of an
ADL is to formally describe software and hardware architectures.
Usually, an ADL describes components, their interfaces, their
structures, their interactions (structure of data flow and control
flow) and the mappings to hardware systems. A major goal of such
description is to allow analysis with respect to several aspects
like timing, safety, reliability. The papers in this
state-of-the-art volume cover such topics of interest as
components, connectors, composition; semantics and formalization;
verification, simulation and test; tools and development
environments; standardization; industrial projects. To encourage
closer interaction between academic and industrial networking
research communities, the workshop welcomed academic research
papers as well as industrial contributions, and both are included
here. Which makes this collection important not only for ADL
experts and researchers, but also for all teachers and
administrators interested in ADL.

AdHoc Networks are wireless, self-organizing systems formed by
co-operating nodes, within communication range of each other which
form temporary n- works. Their topology is dynamic, decentralized,
and ever-changing, and the nodes may move around arbitrarily. The
last few years have witnessed a wealth
ofresearchideasonAdHocnetworkswhicharemovingrapidlyintoimplemented
standards. Mobile computing, particularly wireless-enabled mobile
computing, covers a large area of applications in mobile computing
environments, networking, c-
municationdevicesandsystems.Thisconferenceexposesexperimentalaswellas
theoretical research in adhoc, mobile and wireless networks. The
range of topics covered includes management of power consumption,
architectures and pro- cols, quality of service, and security. The
aim of the conference was to provide a unique opportunity for
researchers and students in industry and academia to participate at
an annual forum and share their research results and experiences.
This conference followed the ?rst successful conference (held at
the Fields -

iday Inn, Midtown in Montreal during October 8-10, 2003. It was
co-sponsored by the Mobile Computing and Networking Research
Laboratory (LARIM) of the ' Ecole Polytechnique de Montr' eal,
theSchool of Computer Science (SCS) of C- leton University, MITACS
(Mathematics of Information Technology and C- plex Systems), and
the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).
Demain, peut- tre, un moment d'accalmie. La terrasse est fleurie;
l'hiver est mort. Ai-je vraiment de sinc res amis Dans ce monde
aseptis sans remords ?... ... Je jette un regard sur la soci t Sans

d'illusions ou bien l'embellie.
