Community Informatics is a developing field which brings together understandings about the interaction of communities and information and communication technologies from fields as diverse as Management and Information Systems, Library and Information Sciences, Community Development, Sociology, or Social and Community Welfare. A key assumption of community informatics is that technologies can be used for positive social change and development, particularly with disadvantaged communities or communities that hitherto, have not had a public voice. The volume brings together international perspectives around defining and debating the idea of community memory which, as Alex Byrne, President of the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions observed in his splendid and wide-ranging Introduction: "community memories are multilayered, changeable, conflicting and contested", and the multilayering, changeability and contest between different players provide fertile theoretical and practical ground for Community Informatics and its interdisciplinary cousins. "Community Informatics is an emerging new multi-disciplinary approach to the study of the intersection of communities and Information and Communication Technologies. This volume contains significant contributions from international practitioners and researchers in the fields of archives, record-keeping, community knowledge management, emerging information and communication technologies, history, community development-virtual as well as real-and Community Informatics as a growing discipline. The content of the book is a unique contribution in the field. The volume will be read by researchers, and communities interested in how they communicate their past, present, and future." —Professor Emerita Gunilla Bradley Informatics School of ICT Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) Stockholm Sweden "Practitioners, researchers and theoreticians in Community Informatics will find a unique array of valuable perspectives in this book. It covers the interaction of communities, memories and technologies in a highly original way, with regard to its breadth and the number of case studies it presents. It incorporates contributions from 13 countries in all parts of our endangered planet, thus providing the international perspective that is critical to understanding how communities can use technology for societal good." —Professor Michel Menou.

Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of Systems
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of Systems, TACAS 2015, which took place in London, UK, in April 2015, as part of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2015. The 45 papers included in this volume, consisting of 27 research papers, 2 case-study papers, 7 regular tool papers and 9 tool demonstration papers, were carefully reviewed and selected from 164 submissions. In addition, the book contains one invited contribution. The papers have been organized in topical sections on hybrid systems; program analysis; verification and abstraction; tool demonstrations; stochastic models; SAT and SMT; partial order reduction, bisimulation, and fairness; competition on software verification; parameter synthesis; program synthesis; program and runtime verification; temporal logic and automata and model checking.
