Reseña del editor

As a foreword, here we publish an email letter of Late Professor Herb Simon, Nobel Laureate, that he wrote on the occasion ofthe death of the fatherofa friend. This letterofcondolence, more than any other wisdom, tells about the essence of the process of scientific creation, which is so important for both, the specific subject being covered by this book, and for the general science. When asked to address an SSGRR conference in Italy, prior to his death, Professor Herb Simon agreed that these lines be presented to all those who are interested in understanding the real essence oftheir own scientific struggle. Dear Professor Milutinovic: I want to extend my deepest sympathy to you and your family on the death of your father. His career was a very distinguished one, and his life spanned a most complex and difficult sequence of epochs in your country's history. Our generation (I am just a year younger than he was), like all its predecessors, leaves many tasks - hopefully no more than it inherited - for the next generation to take up; but even knowing that it must be so does not remove one's senseofloss in the parting.

The term electronic business implies a synergistic interaction between a number of different fields with the purpose of maximizing not only the short term profit, but the long term profit as well.

If you are entering the e-Business arena, this is an excellent starting point covering all the basics. But here, you can also read about technology details that are the core of every modern e-Business infrastructure (like Digital Signatures and Certificates, SSL, Ad Hoc Networks and the Wireless Internet, Denial of Service attacks, etc.). Mastering E-Business Infrastucture, an edited volume, is related to the six best tutorials of the SSGRR (International Conference on Advances in Infrastructure for E-Business, E-Education, E-Science, and E-Medicine on the Internet, organized by Telecom Italia Learning Services).
