What a di?erence a year makes 52 little weeks This variation of the ?rst line from Dinah Washington's famous song, which originally reads, What a di?erence a day makes - 24 little hours, brings it to the point: Accordingtoallexperts,thepress,andmostpeople'simpressionwearetoday in a serious economic recession. Less than one year ago, we practically lived on the island of the blessed (namely, at Networking 2008 that was held on the island of Singapore), or in the famous country where milk and honey ?ow (or where wine and liquor ?ow). This convenient situation has changed abruptly within less than 52 weeks. It looks like the same kind of problems has emerged in all areas and the Networking area has, of course, been a?ected, too. Looking into the 2009 proceedings, however, you will immediately notice that the manuscripts are largely una?ected by any aspect of the economic c- sis (which should be a bit of a consolation). Apparently, research directions are dictated by a process that is all too sluggish in order to be quickly and radically changed by a tsunami. Likewise, the conference itself was prepared in spite of such a crisis.

Autorentext
Otto Spaniol (Jahrgang 1945) gehört zu den Informatikern 'der ersten Stunde' (oder vielleicht etwas bescheidener ausgedrückt: "des zweiten Monats") in Deutschland. Während des Mathe- und Physikstudium diffundierte er unter Anleitung seines Lehrmeisters Günter Hotz in die damals noch nicht offiziell existierende Informatik. Seine GI-Mitgliedsnummer (59) ist schon beinahe unwirklich niedrig. Nach einer Assistenzprofessur in Saarbrücken wurde er 1976 auf eine C3- Professur nach Bonn berufen und im Jahr 1981 auf den Lehrstuhl für Betriebssysteme an der Universität Frankfurt/Main. Durch seine Bonner Zeit zum Wahlrheinländer mutiert, zog es ihn in diese Gegend zurück. Seit 1984 war er bis zur Emeritierung im Jahr 2010 Inhaber des Lehrstuhls Kommunikation und verteilte Systeme an der RWTH Aachen. Die Absurditäten des täglichen Informatikwahnsinns veranlassten ihn schon früh zur Abfassung von manchmal recht bösartigen Glossen - meist unter dem Pseudonym "Alois Potton" (was genauer betrachtet ein Anagramm seines Namens ist).

Klappentext

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International IFIP-TC6 Networking Conference, NETWORKING 2009, held in Aachen, Germany, in May 2000.
