Sommario/riassunto

Conjugal Rights is a history of the role of marriage and other arrangements between men and women in Libreville, Gabon, during the French colonial era, from the mid-nineteenth century through 1960. Conventional historiography has depicted women as few in number and of limited influence in African colonial towns, but this book demonstrates that a sexual economy of emotional, social, legal, and physical relationships between men and women indelibly shaped urban life.  Bridewealth became a motor of African economic activity, as men and women promised, earned, borrowed, transferred, and absconded

Sommario/riassunto

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Runtime Verification, RV 2017, held in Seattle, WA, USA, in September 2017. The 18 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited presentations, 4 short papers, 5 tool papers, and 3 tutorials, were carefully reviewed and selected from 58 submissions. The RV conference is concerned with all aspects of monitoring and analysis of hardware, software and more general system executions. Runtime verification techniques are lightweight techniques to assess correctness, reliability, and robustness; these techniques are significantly more powerful and versatile than conventional testing, and more practical than exhaustive formal verification.
