This book constitutes the proceedings of the 15th International
Conference on Verification and Evaluation of Computer and
Communication Systems, VECoS 2021, which took place in November
2021. Due to COVID-19 pandemic the conference was held virtually.
The 5 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed
and selected from 12 submissions. The aim of the VECoS conference
is to bring together researchers and practitioners in the areas of
verification, control, performance, and dependability evaluation in
order to discuss state of the art and challenges in modern computer
and communication systems in which functional and extra-functional
properties are strongly interrelated. Thus, the main motivation for
VECoS is to encourage the cross-fertilization between various
formal verification and evaluation approaches, methods and
techniques, and especially those developed for concurrent and
distributed hardware/software systems.
This book is a tribute to Jack Steinberger (1921-2020) whose
contributions play an important role in the development of particle
physics. Together with Leon M Lederman and Melvin Schwartz, he was
awarded the 1988 Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of the
muon neutrino. The book begins with an introduction by Julia
Steinberger and a collection of photographs of Jack Steinberger,
followed by the sharing by Jack's former colleagues, students, and
friends of their interactions with him on research in physics as
well as many personal reminiscences. The second part of the book is
a special collection of published works by Jack Steinberger and
collaborators and a commentary by W-D Schlatter on Jack
Steinberger's early papers, Nobel Prize experiment, CP-violation in
kaon decay, CDHS neutrino experiment, and ALEPH e+e- experiment.

IN THE NEWSWeimin Wu: pioneer physicist on Chinese science's
turbulent past, promising futureTimes Higher Education, 25 February
2016While the first 30 years of new China's scientific development
was a self-reliant era marked by the detonations of the atomic
bomb, the hydrogen bomb, and the launch of the first artificial
satellite, the second 30 years after the reform and opening up was
signified by the introduction of the Internet to China. Weimin Wu
is a unique legendary figure whose career spanned both periods. He
not only contributed to the bomb and satellite projects, but also
sent out the email from China to Switzerland in 1986, which was
listed as the first event in the history of China's Internet
development. The Tiananmen Square Protest in 1989 changed his
life's trajectory, leading him to eventually immigrate to the US.
His personal emotional life is also remarkable. With his
experiences immersed in both Eastern and Western cultures, Wu came
to believe in the convergence theory of social development, which
provides a refreshing perspective for the readers. The
autobiography records the details of his legendary life stories,
from taking pictures with the Chinese leader Mao Zedong, to shaking
hands with Deng Xiaoping; from being removed from the Institute of
High Energy Physics, to the repealing of his Chinese passport. The
story line is full of engaging ups and downs. In that turbulent
era, Wu's rich emotional experiences and love stories were also a
mirror for the Chinese society, with some details comparable to the
plots of suspense novels and movies. The book is well illustrated
with many pictures and flows smoothly with a simple writing style.
The stories are factual and moving, all too realistic. The author
has sincerely revealed his true self to the reader, and at the same
time, faithfully described that period of history, giving the
reader a grasp on the true workings of history. His comparison of
the Eastern and Western cultures, analysis of science and
superstition, interpretation of religion and arts, and his
'convergence' theory of social development, are all unique and
insightful. This book faithfully tells Weimin's professional and
personal life on the cusp and takes readers on a journey to explore
true history through an ordinary person's stories.
