[Air-L] THE FOURTH PARADIGM (book)

[Esteban Romero Frías]

I have noticed that the book

THE FOURTH PARADIGM

Data-Intensive Scientific Discovery. Edited by Tony Hey, Stewart Tansley and
Kristin Tolle. Microsoft Research. 252 pages.

is supposed to be available on the web in this URL:

http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/collaboration/fourthparadigm/4th_paradigm_book_complete_lr.pdf

However, I cannot access to the PDF file. Does anybody have the PDF of the
book or the correct link?

Best

Esteban
