Produktbeschreibung

This Festschrift volume, pubished in honor of Ugo Montanari on the occasion of his 65^th birthday, contains 43 papers, written by friends and colleagues, all leading scientists in their own right, who congregated at a celebratory symposium held on June 12, 2008, in Pisa.

The volume consists of seven sections, six of which are dedicated to the main research areas to which Ugo Montanari has contributed: Graph Transformation; Constraint and Logic Programming; Software Engineering; Concurrency; Models of Computation; and Software Verification. Each of these six sections starts with an introductory paper giving an account of Ugo Montanari's contribution to the area and describing the papers in the section. The final section consists of a number of papers giving a laudation of Ugo Montanari's numerous achievements.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"This volume celebrates the wide and deep contributions that spring from Montanari's inspiring leadership. ... This book is for researchers. ... The reference lists are long and well done. ... This is a unique resource. Any university with people working in its areas would be wise to have a copy on its shelves." (Richard Botting, ACM Computing Reviews, October, 2008)
