Go Where the Bugs Are: Essays Dedicated to Wolfgang Reif on the Occasion of His 65th Birthday (Lecture Notes in Computer Science #15765)
by Alexander Knapp Frank Ortmeier Matthias Güdemann Gidon Ernst Florian Nafz Hella Ponsar Gerhard Schellhorn Alexander SchiendorferThis Festschrift, dedicated to Wolfgang Reif on the occasion of his 65th birthday, collects contributions written by many of his closest research colleagues and many of his former students. After obtaining his PhD in Karlsruhe in 1991, Wolfgang was appointed professor in Ulm in 1994 and then moved on to a chair in Augsburg in 2000. He was the founding dean of the Faculty for Applied Computer Science where he established an Elite Master programme on Software Engineering together with TU Munich and LMU Munich and the study programme on Computer Science in Engineering. In 2008 he founded the Institute for Software & Systems Engineering and became its scientific director. He has coauthored more than 280 academic publications, led about 30 third-party-funded research projects, and supervised about 40 PhD students. The volume reflects two particularly prominent aspects of Wolfgang's outstanding academic career: the breadth of topics covered by him that range from formal methods, safety, and security over self-organizing systems to robotics, automation, and artificial intelligence methods; and the constant goal of applying innovative theoretical methods to practical applications in competitive, realistic, and large case studies.

Simon Cross, expatriate of the secret Templar order, works to find and transport survivors out of the ruined city. Hiding within London's Underground system, Simon is raising an army to fight against the encroaching Darkness. Now, he battles the monsters that roam the city and fends off a jealous Knight who plans to take Simon down...all while striving to reunite the divided Templar forces. Warren Schimmer, a Cabalist who is magically linked to a powerful demon, searches for Goetia. Also known as the Lesser Key of Solomon, this ancient artifact could provide the forces of good or evil with an edge in the ongoing war. Standing in his path is Simon Cross. Warren has made a bargain with his Demon lord for survival and the promise of vengeance against the persuasive Templar...but a Demon's promise is made to be broken.
