Sommario/riassunto

Women in Saudi Arabia are often described as either victims of patriarchal religion and society or successful survivors of discrimination



imposed on them by others. Madawi Al-Rasheed's new book goes beyond these conventional tropes to probe the historical, political and religious forces that have, across the years, delayed and thwarted their emancipation. The book demonstrates how, under the patronage of the state and its religious nationalism, women have become hostage to contradictory political projects that on the one hand demand female piety, and on the other hand encourage modernity. Drawing on state documents, media sources and interviews with women from across Saudi society, the book examines the intersection between gender, religion and politics to explain these contradictions and to show that, despite these restraints, vibrant debates on the question of women are opening up as the struggle for recognition and equality finally gets under way.

Sommario/riassunto

Opportunities and challenges for implementing highly complex, efficient, and dependable business and control systems have been steadily increasing, driven by the continuous growth in the power, intelligence, adaptiveness and openness of technologies and standards applied in computing, communication and control systems Dynamically changing social and economic situations demand the next generation of systems to be based on adaptive, reusable, and internet and Web



enabled technologies and applications Such systems are expected to have the characteristics of living systems composed of largely autonomous and decentralized components Such systems are called Autonomous Decentralized Systems (ADS) The International Symposium on Autonomous Decentralized System (ISADS) has been the premier events in the past twenty four years to have successfully addressed these challenges.
