A Citizen Of Wanderlust: Stories From Backpacking Australasia An honest, open and witty account of a Working Holiday "Down Under". David Hutchison spent two years travelling around Australia and in that time the online blog that he wrote to prove to his mother that he was still alive slowly turned into this book. Whilst there, and accompanied by the many interesting characters he meets along the way, he manages to get into some outrageous, hilarious and sometimes dangerous situations. Throughout his travels, he spent his evenings dodging snakes and crocodiles while hunting his own dinner in the Australian outback. Accidentally took up residence in a drug den in Darwin, and even tried his hand at freediving with sharks in Fiji. This book is an enjoyable insight into how leaving home with absolutely no idea what you are doing can become a remarkable adventure.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Self-Organizing Systems, IWSOS 2007. The 17 revised full papers and five revised short papers presented together with two invited talks were carefully selected from more than 36 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on ad hoc routing, peer-to-peer networking, network topology, adaptive and self-organizing networks and multicast and mobility protocols.

This volume contains the proceedings of the 7th International Working Conference on Active and Programmable Networks (IWAN 2005) that was held during November 21-23, 2005, in Sophia Antipolis, Cote d' Azur, France, jointly organized by Hitachi Europe and INRIA. IWAN 2005 took place against a backdrop of questions about the viability and - cessity of a conference that deals with an area perceived by many as having run its full course. The Organizing Committee, during the preparations of the conference, took these concerns seriously and reflected them in the theme of this year's event, entitled "e;Re-incarnating Active Networking Research,"e; and expanding the scope of past calls for papers into topics that have emerged from active and programmable networks. The result was a success because we received 72 submissions, a number that - ceeded our expectations and in fact is one of the highest in the history of the conf- ence. The distinguished Technical Program Committee set high standards for the final program; each one of the submitted papers received three peer reviews with detailed comments and suggestions for the authors. In total, 13 papers were accepted for the main program sessions with 9 papers accepted unconditionally and the remaining 4 papers being conditionally accepted with shepherding by selected Program Committee members.

IWQoS isa ver y successful seriesof workshops and has established itself as one of the premier forums for the presentation and discussion of new research and ideas on QoS. The importance of this workshop series is also reflected in the large number of excellents ubmissions. Nearly 150 papers from all continents were submitted to the workshop, about a fifth of these being short papers. The program committee were very pleased witht he quality of the submissions andh ad the difficult task of selecting the relatively small number of papers which could be accepted for IWQoS2001. Due to the tough competition, many very good papers had to be rejected.
