The future of agriculture greatly depends on our ability to enhance productivity without sacrificing long-term production potential. The application of microorganisms, such as the diverse bacterial species of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), represents an ecologically and economically sustainable strategy. The use of these bio-resources for the enhancement of crop productivity is gaining importance worldwide. Bacteria in Agrobiology: Crop Productivity focus on the role of beneficial bacteria in crop growth, increased nutrient uptake and mobilization, and defense against phytopathogens. Diverse group of agricultural crops and medicinal plants are described as well as PGPR-mediated bioremediation leading to food security.

Because of the growing reliance on software, growing concerns are how reliable a system is before it is commissioned for use, how high is the level in the system, how many vulnerabilities exist in the system before its operationalization. Equally pressing issues concern how to secure the system from internal and external security threats that may exist in the face of resident vulnerabilities. The two problems are considered increasingly important because it necessitates the development of tools and techniques capable of analyzing the dependability, and security aspects of a system. These concerns become more pronounced in the cases of safety-critical and mission-critical systems. System Reliability and Security: Techniques and Methodologies focuses on the use of soft computing techniques and analytical techniques in the modelling and analysis of dependable and secure systems. It examines systems and applications having complex distributed or networked architectures in such fields as Nuclear energy Ground transportation systems Air traffic control Healthcare and medicine Communications System reliability engineering is a multidisciplinary field that uses computational methods for estimating or predicting reliability aspects of a system and analyzing failure data obtained from real-world projects. System security is a related field that ensures that even a reliable system is secure against accidental or deliberate intrusions and free of vulnerabilities. This book covers the tools and techniques, cutting-edge research topics, and methodologies in the areas of system reliability, and security. It examines prediction models and methods as well as how to secure a system as it is being develop.
