"I almost missed my stop. Twice!" - Angelika Rust, author of Ratpaths In a world where kids are used to smuggle goods across the country, Cyrus Rhodes believes himself to be the best. But as his eighteenth birthday nears, he fears for what his future holds when he can no longer do what he is best at. When he is given the chance to run an epic race across the country in less time than he knows is possible, he jumps at the opportunity, risking life and limb for little more than money and prestige. Soon, he learns there's much more to this run than he's accustomed to, finding himself in the middle of a battle for control of the country, while he's struggling against a battle for control of his own life. Now the question isn't whether or not he can complete the job, but whether he can stay alive when faced against the United States military, a revolutionary squad, and the entire United States who now believes him to be a terrorist.

Escaping from prison was the easy part. With the girl he loves in prison, his brother kidnapped by a mysterious leader of the Agora, and a host of SP and rebellion leaders on the hunt for him, Cyrus knows he needs all the help he can get, no matter how uncomfortable he is with it. His new running partner, Bruno, is an escapee from the same prison Cyrus just escaped from and appears to have his own motives in mind. Cyrus has a lot of questions and a lot to do, and there are only six days left until the nation burns. The Agora Files – Part II takes the exciting Agora Files series even deeper into the world of The Agora and brings up one very necessary question for Cyrus as he is tasked with saving the nation: Who can be trusted?

In the aftermath of their fatal standoff with the mysterious Miss Nile, Cyrus, Eve, and The Geek still have many questions. Can they trust Alvin when he tells them they are heroes of the nation? Can they trust Cyrus’ parents who seem to appear in the most unexpected and needed of times? Or perhaps they should trust Grant, the man who has attempted to kill them multiple times during their journey, simply because he claims to have a way to get them to safety.In this climactic conclusion to the epic Agora Files trilogy, Cyrus and his friends cross the country yet again on their journey to freedom. But their questions of trust still remain. In a world where everyone wants you dead, is there anywhere you can ever feel safe?

This monograph discusses software reuse and how it can be applied at different stages of the software development process, on different types of data and at different levels of granularity. Several challenging hypotheses are analyzed and confronted using novel data-driven methodologies, in order to solve problems in requirements elicitation and specification extraction, software design and implementation, as well as software quality assurance. The book is accompanied by a number of tools, libraries and working prototypes in order to practically illustrate how the phases of the software engineering life cycle can benefit from unlocking the potential of data. Software engineering researchers, experts, and practitioners can benefit from the various methodologies presented and can better understand how knowledge extracted from software data residing in various repositories can be combined and used to enable effective decision making and save considerable time and effort through software reuse. Mining Software Engineering Data for Software Reuse can also prove handy for graduate-level students in software engineering.

In 1952 Michael Ventris deciphered the script found on the Linear B tablets from Crete and the Greek mainland, therefore revealing the earliest known form of Greek. In 1956 he and John Chadwick published Documents in Mycenaean Greek, which gave an account of the decipherment, of the language of the tablets, of the society and economy revealed by the documents and a series of chapters giving texts, translations and commentary of the most important tablets. Though partially updated in 1973, Documents is now very much outdated: there has been a vast accrual of bibliography on the subject since 1973, and discoveries of tablets at new sites. This new survey, written by fourteen of the world's leading experts, will bring the reader fully up-to-date with developments in all aspects of Mycenaean studies, concluding with a new, full glossary of all the most recently discovered words.

Databases and database systems in particular, are considered as kerneIs of any Information System (IS). The rapid growth of the web on the Internet has dramatically increased the use of semi-structured data and the need to store and retrieve such data in a database. The database community quickly reacted to these new requirements by providing models for semi-structured data and by integrating database research to XML web services and mobile computing. On the other hand, IS community who never than before faces problems of IS development is seeking for new approaches to IS design. Ontology based approaches are gaining popularity, because of a need for shared conceptualisation by different stakeholders of IS development teams. Many web-based IS would fail without domain ontologies to capture meaning of terms in their web interfaces. This volume contains revised versions of 24 best papers presented at the th 5 International Baltic Conference on Databases and Information Systems (BalticDB&IS'2002). The conference papers present original research results in the novel fields of IS and databases such as web IS, XML and databases, data mining and knowledge management, mobile agents and databases, and UML based IS development methodologies. The book's intended readers are researchers and practitioners who are interested in advanced topics on databases and IS.
