Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems Volume 1 Series editor Janusz Kacprzyk, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland e-mail: [email protected] The series “Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems” publishes the latest developments in Networks and Systems—quickly, informally and with high quality. Original research reported in proceedings and post-proceedings represents the core of LNNS. Volumes published in LNNS embrace all aspects and subfields of, as well as new challenges in, Networks and Systems. The series contains proceedings and edited volumes in systems and networks, spanning the areas of Cyber-Physical Systems, Autonomous Systems, Sensor Networks, Control Systems, Energy Systems, Automotive Systems, Biological Systems, Vehicular Networking and Connected Vehicles, Aerospace Systems, Automation, Manufacturing, Smart Grids, Nonlinear Systems, Power Systems, Robotics, Social Systems, Economic Systems and other. Of particular value to both the contributors and the readership are the short publication timeframe and the world-wide distribution and exposure which enable both a wide and rapid dissemination of research output. The series covers the theory, applications, and perspectives on the state of the art and future developments relevant to systems and networks, decision making, control, complex processes and related areas, as embedded in the fields of interdisciplinary and applied sciences, engineering, computer science, physics, economics, social, and life sciences, as well as the paradigms and methodologies behind them.

Printed on acid-free paper This Springer imprint is published by Springer Nature The registered company is Springer International Publishing AG Switzerland Preface This volume contains research papers accepted and presented at the 4th Interna- tional Symposium on Modelling and Implementation of Complex Systems (MISC 2016), held on 7–8 May 2016 in Constantine, Algeria. As the previous editions (MISC 2010, MISC 2012, and MISC 2014), this symposium is intended as a tradition offering open forum and meeting space for researchers working in the field of complex systems science. This year, the MISC symposium received 175 submissions from 12 countries: Algeria, Canada, Ireland, France, Luxembourg, Morocco, Oman, Portugal, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, UK and USA. In a rigorous reviewing process, the Program Com- mittee selected 25 papers, which represents an acceptance rate of 15 %. However, we have not received the camera-ready copies of two papers. So, the proceedings include 23 papers. The PC included 115 researchers and 31 additional reviewers from 14 countries. The accepted papers were organized into sessions as follows: Networking and Cloud Computing, Software Engineering and Formal Methods, Intelligent and Information Systems, and Algorithms and Complexity. This volume includes also the abstracts of the keynote talks presented by Mérouane Debbah, Professor at CentraleSupélec, France; Rafael Capilla, Associate Professor at Rey Juan Carlos University, Madrid, Spain; and Mathieu Roche, Research Scientist at CIRAD, Montpellier, France. We thank Dr. Nabil Belala for managing EasyChair system for MISC 2016 from submissions to proceedings elaboration. We are graceful to the Program Committee and Organizing Committee members for their contribution in the success of the symposium. Finally, we thank the authors who submitted papers to the conference.

  • Potential Threats to Afro-Palearctic Migrato
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Unravelling the drastic range retraction of an emblematic songbird of North Africa: potential Received: 31 October 2016 Accepted: 16 March 2017 threats to Afro-Palearctic migratory Published: xx xx xxxx birds Rassim Khelifa1, Rabah Zebsa2, Hichem Amari3, Mohammed Khalil Mellal4, Soufyane Bensouilah3, Abdeldjalil Laouar5 & Hayat Mahdjoub1 Understanding how culture may influence biodiversity is fundamental to ensure effective conservation, especially when the practice is local but the implications are global. Despite that, little effort has been devoted to documenting cases of culturally-related biodiversity loss. Here, we investigate the cultural domestication of the European goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis) in western Maghreb (Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia) and the effects of long-term poaching of wild populations (1990–2016) on range distribution, socio-economic value, international trading and potential collateral damage on Afro- Palearctic migratory birds. On average, we found that the European goldfinch lost 56.7% of its distribution range in the region which led to the increase of its economic value and establishment of international trading network in western Maghreb. One goldfinch is currently worth nearly a third of the average monthly income in the region. There has been a major change in poaching method around 2010, where poachers started to use mist nets to capture the species. Nearly a third of the 16 bird species captured as by-catch of the European goldfinch poaching are migratory, of which one became regularly sold as cage-bird. These results suggest that Afro-Palearctic migratory birds could be under serious by-catch threat. Species overexploitation for wildlife trade is a major global threat to biodiversity, particularly birds1, 2.

    Plenary Talks XXIst Century Perspectives on the Micro & Macro Worlds Jamal Mimouni1 1 Laboratoire de Physique Mathématique et Subatomique, Constantine-1 University e-mail: [email protected] We present a broad perspective on our (Early) XXIth century understanding of both the macro and micro worlds, and whether the dream embodied in the symbolism of Glashow’s snake has been implemented to some degree or recessed away. Do we have a unified vision of the world at those extreme scales? What about the status of that «21 st century» theory «that fell accidentally into the 20th century.” to quote E.Witten, and which is the «ideological» cement of very powerful aspiring-to-be paradigms like Cosmic Inflation, Multiverses, black holes… as well as the inspiration of most pre-Big Bang theories. There is no question that the failure of physics to solve those big puzzles left over from XXth century physics is really stemming from the limitations of experimental particle physics as it stumbles on the «not high enough» energy limit of present day colliders which has put every beyond the Standard Model theory basically on hold. The hints we get from experiments are too feeble and we can’t probe a high enough mass region where are possibly lurking other non-standard gauge bosons and Higgs, not talking about the SUSY zoo, ED particles and other exotic brands. Thus the great hope pinned on the UHE Cosmic Rays for their capability to cross the many orders of magnitude energy gap and reach for the physics of cosmic accelerators and whatever they might be spitting out of new exotic massive particles.

    Update no 16 Humanitarian Situation in Libya and the Neighbouring Countries 4 April 2011 Highlights • The Humanitarian Coordinator for Libya visited Ras Djir at the Tunisian-Libyan border on 2 April. In a meeting with the humanitarian agencies in Choucha camp he raised concerns about several issues, including 1) the lack of reliable information from inside Libya, 2) the disruption of the health care system in Libya due to the massive flight of non-Libyan nurses and medical workers, and 3) the likelihood of a continuous steady flow of mixed migration out of Libya. • An increased influx of Libyan families crossing into Egypt was observed by UNHCR staff at Saloum border. In the past days, up to 2,500 Libyans per day crossed into Egypt. • On 31 March, the High Commissioner finalized his mission to Egypt together with UNHCR’s Director for the Middle East and North Africa. In his meeting with the Egyptian Prime Minister the HC thanked Egypt for keeping its borders open to all those fleeing Libya at a time when Egypt is dealing with its own complex changes. • An increasing number of wounded Libyans have been reported at border crossings in addition to UNHCR staff distributing plastic sheets to new arrivals from several boat loads arriving with family members in Chad. / UNHCR /N.Bose Tunisia. Population movements By 3 April, a total of 439,561 persons crossed from Libya to neighbouring countries. There continues to be a steady influx of third country nationals both to Tunisia and Egypt.
