Sommario/riassunto

Constructing Community is a provocative and original analysis of the question of urban politics in contemporary liberal democracies.This book examines community from the particular perspective of the shaping and control of urban space in contemporary liberal democracies. Further, it offers a strong case for reconsidering current debates on democratic politics in light of the connection between political power and the control of public space and the built environment.

Sommario/riassunto

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th IFIP WG 6.1 International Conference on Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems, DAIS 2011, held in Reykjavik, Iceland, in June 2011 as one of the DisCoTec 2011 events.  The 18 revised full papers and 6 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 55



submissions. The papers presented at DAIS 2011 address key challenges of modern distributed services and applications, including pervasiveness and peer-to-peer environments, and tackle issues related to adaptation, interoperability, availability and performance, as well as dependability and security.
