IFIP's Working Group 2.7(13.4)* has, since its establishment in 1974, con centrated on the software problems of user interfaces. The current title of the Working Group is 'User Interface Engineering', with the aim of investigating the nature, concepts, and construction of user interfaces for software systems.

The introduction of unit standards signalled an emphatic movement towards the use of internal assessment for awarding qualifications at the seniorsecondaryschoollevel. Approximately five to eight standards would be used for each full year course and each standard had a number of credits associated with it.

The 7th Annual Working Conference of ISMSSS (lnformation Security Management and Small Systems Security), jointly presented by WG 11.1 and WG 11.2 of the International Federation for Information Processing {IFIP), focuses on various state-of-art concepts in the two relevant fields.

Usability has become increasingly important as an essential part of the design and development of software and systems for all sectors of society, business, industry, government and education, as well as a topic of research.

Since the early 1980's, the IFIP WG8.1 conferences have provided a forum for the presentation and exchange of research results and practical experiences in the field of Information System Engineering.

The international initiative on Enterprise Inter- and Intra-Organisational Integration (EI3-IC) had the objective to increase both international consen sus (IC) and public awareness on enterprise integration.

Considers general issues covering the contribution of information and communication technology (ICT) to the development of learning, the role and potential of E learning, computer supported collaborative learning and innovative pedagogy, as well as issues such as online knowledge communities, the characteristics of agents and multimedia animation.

Optical networks are leaving the labs and becoming a reality. New components and subsystems for very high speed optical networks offer new design opportunities to network operators and designers.

Diffusing Software Product and Process Innovations addresses the problems and issues surrounding successful diffusion of innovations in software.

This volume highlights the concerns of all - students, teachers, parents, policy makers and the general public.Major themes in Learning in School, Home and Community: ICT for Early and Elementary Education include: *Teachers' and researchers' studies of ICT use in school, home and community.

Presents the research results in protocol testing. This book contains the proceedings of the seventh IFIP WG6.1 International Workshop on Protocol Test Systems (IWPTS '94), organized by the International Federation for Information Processing and held in Tokyo, Japan in November 1994.

These papers from the 1995 International Workshop on Protocol Test Systems present research in the area of architecture and protocols for computer networks. Themes covered include testing methods, test environments, test generation, and algorithms and languages.

In multimedia and communication environments all documents must be protected against attacks. The required security can be achieved by a number of different security measures. This volume contains the selected proceedings of the joint conference on Communications and Multimedia Security;

A wide range of modern computer applications require the performance and flexibility of parallel and distributed systems. This book will reflect current advances in this area, and will address issues of theory and practice with contributions from academia and industry.

Teleservices represent a diversity of applications related to various user and vendor cultures such as traditional telecommunications services, E-mail services, cooperative work, applications, multimedia applications, mobile services and intelligent network services.

This volume presents modern visual interfaces and database systems and covers the following topics in detail: next generation interfaces, visual representations, three-dimensional interfaces, modelling of visual information, image understanding and processing and video databases.

This book describes how domain knowledge can be used in the design of interactive systems. It includes discussion of the theories and models of domain, generic domain architectures and construction of system components for specific domains.

This book aims to discuss in depth the current state of research and practice in database security. It documents progress and provides researchers and students with a broad perspective of recent developments in what is recognised as a key topic in business and in the public sector.

This book presents the latest research in formal techniques for distributed systems, including material on theory, applications, tools and industrial usage of formal techniques.
