The exoplanet revolution that began three decades ago has drastically changed our knowledge of the extra-solar systems. Today, we face an extreme diversity and complexity of these systems that can only be understood through the intimate link that exists between the planets and their host stars. The understanding, characterization, and the detection of the exoplanets has to be made in close collaboration between stellar and planetary physicists. The purpose of the school and this book is to provide an update of our current knowledge in some selected research fields dedicated to the interplay between stars and planets. It aims to prepare scientists for a rich new decade for exoplanets with space missions like the upcoming PLATO and ARIEL and the new instruments on the VLT and the future ELT.

Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) represent an emerging topic in wireless communication and networking. VANETs are currently receiving a lot of attention due to their promise of considerably increasing safety and comfort while being on the road. High mobility, adverse channel conditions, and market introduction are some of the key challenges one has to deal with when designing these spontaneous networks. Inter-Vehicle-Communications Based on Ad Hoc Networking Principles covers results and achievements of the FleetNet project, a project devoted to the design of a vehicular ad hoc network.

In this book entitled "The Biosphere", researchers from all regions of the world report on their findings to explore the origins, evolution, ecosystems and resource utilization patterns of the biosphere. Some describe the complexities and challenges that humanity faces in its efforts to experiment and establish a new partnership with nature in places designated as biosphere reserves by UNESCO under its Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme. At the dawn of the 21st century humanity is ever more aware and conscious of the adverse consequences that it has brought upon global climate change and biodiversity loss. We are at a critical moment of reflection and action to work out a new compact with the biosphere that sustains our own wellbeing and that of our planetary companions. This book is a modest attempt to enrich and enable that special moment and its march ahead in human history.

This is about forecasting the variations of the electromagnetic radiations and of the solar winds that reach the earth: a branch of science that is of critical importance for telecommunications, the distribution of electric energy, land and air transportation, health and safety issues and the climate.
