This volume presents proceedings from the 19th IFIP World Computer Congress in Santiago, Chile. The proceedings of the World Computer Congress are a product of the gathering of 2,000 delegates from more than 70 countries to discuss a myriad of topics in the ICT domain. Of particular note, this marks the first time that a World Computer Congress has been held in a Latin American country. Topics in this series include:The 4th International Conference on Theoretical Computer ScienceEducation for the 21st Century- Impact of ICT and Digital ResourcesMobile and Wireless Communication NetworksAd-Hoc NetworkingNetwork Control and Engineering for QoS, Security, and MobilityThe Past and Future of Information Systems: 1976-2006 and BeyondHistory of Computing and Education Biologically Inspired Cooperative ComputingArtificial Intelligence in Theory and PracticeApplications in Artificial IntelligenceAdvanced Software Engineering: Expanding the Frontiers of SoftwareFor a complete list of the more than 300 titles in the IFIP Series, visit springer.com.
