Roger Needham, in a distinguished career at Cambridge University and Microsoft Research, was a pioneer of computer systems research and a noted innovator in the crucial area of system security. Computer Systems: Theory, Technology, and Applications presents a comprehensive edited survey of all aspects of the subject, with original contributions by more than 40 international leaders in the field. The book assembles a collection of short articles showing the state-of-the-art in systems, from formal calculi to mobile devices, from operating systems to distributed computing and security—while also honoring Needham’s important contributions.}, publisher = {Springer}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/clumps-clusters-and-classification/}, pages = {39-49}, edition = {Computer Systems: Theory, Technology and Applications.
