This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems, FroCoS 2013, held in Nancy, France, in September 2013. The 20 revised full papers presented together with 4 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 33 submissions. FroCoS'13 seeks to offer a common forum for research in the general area of combination, modularization and integration of systems, with emphasis on logic-based ones, and of their practical use. Typical topics of interest include following subjects: combinations of logics such as combined predicate, temporal, modal or epistemic logics, combinations and modularity in ontologies, combination of decision, procedures, of satisfiability, procedures and of constraint solving techniques, combinations and modularity in term rewriting, integration of equational and other theories into deductive systems, combination of deduction systems and computer algebra, integration of data structures into constraint logic programming and deduction, and modularizing programs and specifications.

Europe, a Fresh Start

The European Union in 1995 is a monument to the dedication of the early pioneers. It is the world's most advanced form of multisectoral integration, affecting economic, social, industrial-relations and foreign policies and citizens' rights in its 15 Member States. The Treaty of Paris establishing the European Coal and Steel Community (1951) and the Treaties of Rome establishing the European Economic Community and Euratom (1957), as amended by the Single European Act (1986) and the Maastricht European Union Treaty (1992), form the constitutional basis of the Union, binding its Member States more firmly than any conventional agreement between sovereign States. The Union itself generates directly applicable legislation and creates specific rights which can be invoked by its citizens. The momentum of the integration process caused Austria, Finland and Sweden to join the Union at the beginning of 1995. The collapse of the Berlin Wall, followed by German unification and the liberation from Soviet control and subsequent democratization of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, transformed the political structure of the continent. And the Fifteen are now committed to both deepening and widening the Union.

Europe in Ten Points

What purpose does the EU serve? Why and how was it set up? How does it work? What has it already achieved for its citizens, and what new challenges does it face today? In a globalised world, can the EU compete successfully with other major economies while maintaining its social standards? How can immigration be managed? What will Europe’s role be on the world stage in the years ahead? Where will the EU’s boundaries be drawn? And what future is there for the euro? These are just some of the questions explored by EU expert Pascal Fontaine in this 2017 edition of his popular booklet Europe in 12 lessons. Pascal Fontaine is a former assistant to Jean Monnet and former professor at the Institut d’Études Politiques, Paris.

Europe in 12 Lessons

Ce livre invite à découvrir le rôle joué par l'une des forces politiques majeures constituées au sein du Parlement européen, depuis sa création en 1953 jusqu'à sa victoire aux élections européennes de juin 2009. Le Groupe Démocrate-Chrétien, devenu Groupe du Parti Populaire Européen, rassemble la plupart des partis politiques du centre, des Modérés et des Conservateurs de l'Europe des vingt-sept. Protagoniste des grands événements européens, de la naissance de la Communauté au coeur de la Guerre froide jusqu'à la mise en place du Marché intérieur et de l'Euro, le Groupe du PPE est avant tout le rassemblement d'hommes et de femmes partageant les mêmes valeurs et engagements pour la construction de l'Europe. Écrit à partir d'entretiens et archives inédites, ce livre est une source précieuse d'informations pour mieux connaître et comprendre l'histoire de la construction européenne.
