An invited collection of peer-reviewed papers surveying key areas of Roger Needham's distinguished research career at Cambridge University and Microsoft Research.

From operating systems to distributed computing, many of the world's leading researchers provide insight into the latest concepts and theoretical insights--many of which are based upon Needham's pioneering research work.

A critical collection of edited-survey research papers spanning the entire range of Roger Needham's distinguished scientific career, from operating systems to distributed computing and security.  Many of the world's leading researchers survey their topics' latest developments and acknowledge the theoretical foundations of Needham's work.

Introduction to book written by Rick Rashid, Director of Microsoft Research Worldwide.

Roger learnt that he was seriously ill late in December 2002. When he heard this, Rick Rashid, Microsoft Senior Vice-President for Research, suggested that there should be some occasion to mark Roger’s contribution to the field, and an associated publication.

In response, we proposed a one-day meeting with both technical talks and a more personal session about Roger, with the presentation of a volume of papers from Roger’s many technical colleagues as the key element.

There was not much time to prepare the volume. So we asked for short papers on any technical topic of each contributor’s choosing likely to be of interest to Roger. The papers could be on an area of current research, a conjecture about the future, or an historical reflection. They had to be delivered in four weeks. We much appreciated the rapid and enthusiastic responses to our invitation, and were delighted with the range of topics covered and their technical interest. We were also grateful, as each editor reviewed all the papers, for the positive spirit with which our comments and suggestions were received.

Future-proofing?Valuing Adaptability, Flexibility, Convertibility and Options: A Cross-Disciplinary Approach (Management in the Built Environment)
Future-proofing?Valuing Adaptability, Flexibility, Convertibility and Options: A Cross-Disciplinary Approach (Management in the Built Environment)
This book presents a unifying approach to the valuation of incorporated flexibility. Flexibility, in general terms, recognizes future uncertainty and refers to being proactive now so as to secure the future possibility of being able to adapt, convert, or generally introduce a change, if it is worthwhile to do so at the time. That is,...
