Book Description
George Plimpton takes to the ice with the Boston Bruins in this memorable portrait of the rough-and-tumble world of professional hockey, repackaged and featuring a foreword from Denis Leary and never-before-seen content from the Plimpton Archives. In Open Net, George Plimpton takes to the ice as goalie for his beloved Boston Bruins. After signing a release holding the Bruins blameless if he should meet with injury or death, he survives a harrowing, seemingly eternal five minutes in an exhibition game against the always-tough Philadelphia Flyers. With reflections on such hockey greats as Wayne Gretzky, Bobby Orr, and Eddie Shore, Open Net is at once a celebration of the thrills and grace of the greatest sport on ice and a probing meditation into the hopes and fears of every man.

Transactions on Petri Nets and Other Models of Concurrency II
Author: Wil van der Aalst
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642008984
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
Transactions on Petri Nets and Other Models of Concurrency (ToPNoC) II These Transactions publish archival papers in the broad area of Petri nets and other models of concurrency, ranging from theoretical work to tool support and industrial applications. ToPNoC issues are published as LNCS volumes, and hence are widely distributed and indexed. This Journal has its own Editorial Board which selects papers based on a rigorous two-stage refereeing process. ToPNoC contains: - Revised versions of a selection of the best papers from workshops and tutorials at the annual Petri net conferences - Special sections/issues within particular subareas (similar to those published in the Advances in Petri Nets series) - Other papers invited for publication in ToPNoC - Papers submitted directly to ToPNoC by their authors The second volume of ToPNoC focuses on Concurrency in Process-Aware Information Systems. Although the topic of business process management using information technology has been addressed by consultants and software developers in depth, more fundamental approaches towards such Process-Aware Information Systems (PAISs) have been rather uncommon. It wasn't until the 1990s that researchers started to work on the foundations of PAISs. Clearly, concurrency theory is an essential ingredient in these foundations as business processes are highly concurrent involving all types of routing logic and resource allocation mechanisms. The 16 papers in this special issue of ToPNoC cover topics ranging from the formal (mostly Petri-net based) foundations of PAISs to more applied topics such as flexibility and process mining. Thus, this volume gives a good overview of the state of the art in PAIS research.

Book Description
This volume consists of the proceedings of the 29th International Conference on Applications and Theory of Petri Nets and Other Models of Concurrency (PETRI NETS 2008). The Petri Net conferences serve as annual meeting places to discuss the progress in the ?eld of Petri nets and related models of conc- rency. They provide a forum for researchers to present and discuss both app- cations and theoretical developments in this area. Novel tools and substantial enhancements to existing tools can also be presented. In addition, the conf- ences always welcome a range of invited talks that survey related domains, as well as satellite events such as tutorials and workshops. The 2008 conference had six invited speakers, two advanced tutorials, and four workshops. Detailed information about PETRI NETS 2008 and the related events can be found at http://ictt. xidian. edu. cn/atpn-acsd2008. The PETRI NETS 2008 conference was organized by the Institute of C- puting Theory andTechnologyat Xidian University,Xi'an, China, where it took place during June 23-27, 2008. We would like to express our deep thanks to the Organizing Committee, chaired by Zhenhua Duan, for the time and e?ort - vested in the conference and for all the help with local organization.
