Synopses & Reviews
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the First International Service Availability Symposium, ISAS 2004, held in Munich, Germany in May 2004.
The 15 revised full papers presented were carefully selected from 28 submissions during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. Among the topics addressed are high availability database architectures, data persistence, dependable mobile Internet services, System Availability Forum standards, QoS control, middleware, service-level management, service management, location-based services, service robustness, service availability evaluation, continuous services, AMF services, etc.
Synopsis
much Last but not least we would like to thank Manfred Reitenspie who has been the guiding force behind ISAS and the Service Availability Forum. I hope that the attendees enjoyed the ?nal program, enjoyed the presen- tions, got involved in the discussions, struck up new friendships, and got ins- ration for contributions to the next year's symposium which will be hosted by KimmoRaatikainen, UniversityofHelsinkiandFrancisTamofNokiainHelsinki during May 15-16, 2006.

Synopsis
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Second International Service Availability Symposium, ISAS 2005, held in Berlin, Germany in April 2005. The 15 revised full papers presented together with a keynote talk were carefully selected for inclusion in the book. The papers are organized in topical sections on data and computation availability, specifying, modeling and verifying service availability, high-availability by service-oriented architectures, modeling and composition, and verification and availability assessment.
