Sommario/riassunto

This landmark publication takes the 50th anniversary of the publication of the seminal paper by the Danish scientist, Einer Steemann Nielsen, as an occasion to assess the development, present state and future of the major aspects in freshwater and marine plankton productivity. Each chapter of this important work has been written by internationally-acknowledged experts in the subject, and the whole has been carefully drawn together and edited to provide a book that is an essential tool and reference for all aquatic scientists. The book takes ascending temporal and spatial size scale as it

Sommario/riassunto

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Declarative Agent Languages and Technologies, DALT 2007, held in Honolulu, USA, in 2007. It was an associated event of AAMAS 2007, the conference on autonomous agents and multi-agent systems. The 11 full papers, together with 1 keynote lecture and 2 invited papers from the AAMAS main conference were carefully selected and substantially enhanced after the workshop.
