DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book is intended for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners interested in the dynamics and governance of low-carbon transitions. Drawing on the Multi-Level Perspective, it develops a whole system reconfiguration approach that explains how the incorporation of multiple innovations can cumulatively reconfigure existing systems. The book focuses on UK electricity, heat, and mobility systems, and it systematically analyses interactions between radical niche-innovations and existing (sub)systems across techno-economic, policy, and actor dimensions in the past three decades. Comparative analysis explains why the unfolding low-carbon transitions in these three systems vary in speed, scope, and depth. It evaluates to what degree these transitions qualify as Great Reconfigurations and assesses the future potential for, and barriers to, deeper low-carbon system transitions. Generalising across these systems, broader lessons are developed about the roles of incumbent firms, governance and politics, user engagement, wider public, and civil society organisations. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis volume contains the proceedings of DAIS 2008, the 8th IFIP International Conference on Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems. The conf- ence was held in Oslo, Norway during June 4–6, 2008 as part of the DisCoTec (Distributed Object Techniques) federated conference, in conjunction with the 10th International Conference on Coordination Models and Languages (COOR- DINATION) and the 10th IFIP International Conference on Formal Methods for Open Object-Based Distributed Systems (FMOODS). The conference was sponsored by IFIP (International Federation for Information Processing) and was organized by the IFIP Working Group 6.1. Distributed applications and interoperable systems have become an integral part of everyday living and hence part of the socio-economic ecosystem of our humanenvironment.Withsuchpervasivedistributionofsoftwaresystemsacross a multitude of heterogeneous environments and user domains, distributed app- cations must support seamless provision of services, as well as service evolution and adaptability to ensure long-term sustainability. This support must go - yond the provision of individual services in isolation, towards systems in which such services can interoperate and be integrated into the everyday environment catering for the changing needs of their users.
