‘Imprinting the Future’ We have learnt from the last two decades that the period covering conception, pregnancy and early infancy is unique in life, as a number of stimuli, not only insults or diseases, have long lasting effects and shape the whole life of an individual. Health and disease, but also less explored issues such as behavior or senescence are involved in developmental ‘programming’. Early exposure to imbalanced nutrition and lifestyle, stress, or toxic chemicals, starting as soon as in the pre- periconceptional periods, can act silently with effects revealed only at (late) adulthood. In this framework, epigenetic, transgenerational mechanisms…

Scope: We are on the threshold of a major paradigm shift in the way we deploy and deliver software systems. Software delivery in the cloud and the pervasiveness of social networks and multimedia mobile services drive the demand for software technologies designed for massivescale, non-homogenous, continuously changing environments. To address these requirements, modern software systems should be agile and scalable in almost every aspect. At runtime, dynamically changing availability; adaptive use of resources; mining of huge data sets; and flawless execution are required. During development, agile methods; rapid and continuous deployment; and consumerization of IT are becoming increasingly important. SwSTE…
