This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the European Grid Conference, EGC 2005, held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands in February 2005. Focusing on all aspects of Grid computing and bringing together participants from research and industry, EGC 2005 was a follow-up of the AcrossGrids Conferences held in Santiago de Compostela, Spain (2003) and in Nicosia, Cyprus (2004). The 121 revised papers presented - including the contribution of three invited speakers - were carefully reviewed and selected from over 180 submissions for inclusion in the book and address the following topics: applications, architecture and infrastructure, resource brokers and management, grid services and monitoring, performance, security, workflow, data and information management, and scheduling fault-tolerance and mapping.

The only single, up-to-date source for Grid issues in bioinformatics and biology Bioinformatics is fast emerging as an important discipline for academic research and industrial applications, creating a need for the use of Grid computing techniques for large-scale distributed applications. This book successfully presents Grid algorithms and their real-world applications, provides details on modern and ongoing research, and explores software frameworks that integrate bioinformatics and computational biology. Additional coverage includes: * Bio-ontology and data mining * Data visualization * DNA assembly, clustering, and mapping * Molecular evolution and phylogeny * Gene expression and micro-arrays * Molecular modeling and simulation * Sequence search and alignment * Protein structure prediction * Grid infrastructure, middleware, and tools for bio data Grid Computing for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology is an indispensable resource for professionals in several research and development communities including bioinformatics, computational biology, Grid computing, data mining, and more. It also serves as an ideal textbook for undergraduate- and graduate-level courses in bioinformatics and Grid computing.

This volume contains papers presented at the 2nd International Afro-European Conference for Industrial Advancement -- AECIA 2015. The conference aimed at bringing together the foremost experts and excellent young researchers from Africa, Europe and the rest of the world to disseminate the latest results from various fields of engineering, information, and communication technologies. The topics, discussed at the conference, covered a broad range of domains spanning from ICT and engineering to prediction, modeling, and analysis of complex systems. The 2015 edition of AECIA featured a distinguished special track on prediction, modeling and analysis of complex systems -- Nostradamus, and special sessions on Advances in Image Processing and Colorization and Data Processing, Protocols, and Applications in Wireless Sensor Networks.
