• Sommario/riassunto: Data management has evolved over the years from being strictly associated with database systems, through active databases, to become a topic that has grown beyond the scope of a single field encompassing a large range of subjects, such as distributed systems, event-driven systems, and peer-to-peer and streaming systems. The present collection of works, which sheds light on various facets of data management, is dedicated to Prof. Alejandro Buchmann on the occasion of his 60th birthday. His scientific path looks back on more than thirty years of successful academic life and high-impact research. With this book we celebrate Prof. Buchmann's vision and achievements.

• Sommario/riassunto: The main objective of the book is to identify and evaluate the major changes in the Cohesion Policy of the European Union and their effects on Polish regions for the period of 2014-2020. The reader will learn how these changes result from the successful agreement on the Multiannual Financial Framework and implementation of the Europe 2020 strategy. Based on these aspects, the authors describe the main ; change in the Cohesion Policy of the EU, which is the renewed focus on competitiveness and skills to compete within the EU internal and the global market. The territorial approach taken by the EU with respect to entrepreneurial competitiveness is directly linked to the location attractiveness of regions.The authors argue that the new paradigm of the EU's Cohesion Policy will strengthen the focus on location attractiveness. To illustrate this case, they analyze Poland as one of the most appropriate and relevant Member States to evaluate the new rules underlying EU policies for 2014-2020, as Poland is the largest net-beneficiary of the EU budget.
