Sommario/riassunto

This two volume set LNCS 7016 and LNCS 7017 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Algorithms and Architectures for Parallel Processing, ICA3PP 2011, held in Melbourne, Australia, in October 2011. The first volume presents 24 revised regular papers and 17 revised short papers together with the abstract of the keynote lecture - all carefully reviewed and selected from 85 initial submissions. The papers cover the many dimensions of parallel algorithms and architectures, encompassing fundamental



theoretical approaches, practical experimental results, and commercial components and systems and focus on two broad areas of parallel and distributed computing, i.e., architectures, algorithms and networks, and systems and applications.

Sommario/riassunto

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignancies worldwide, and the pathogenesis of this neoplasm is probably one of the most studied. The knowledge obtained over time has led to the development of screening and early diagnosis systems, allowing a significant reduction in the incidence of this neoplasm. However, what is currently known probably represents only the tip of the iceberg of the biology of this tumor. It was recently shown that the gut microbiota may contribute to colorectal cancerogenesis. In addition, several novel targeted therapies are now applied to patients with colorectal carcinoma. Nonetheless, several questions are still unanswered. Could the modulation of the gut microbiota modify the risk of tumor progression or the efficacy of therapies? Are there any predictive biomarkers of the risk of tumor progression or the efficacy of target therapies? Is metastatic colorectal cancer one or more diseases? This book collects a series of scientific articles reflecting part of the state of



the art regarding colorectal cancer, seeking to answer these questions.
