 Conceptual Modeling of Information SystemsWhen designing an information system, conceptual modeling is the activity that elicits and describes the general knowledge the system needs to know. This description, called the conceptual schema, is necessary in order to develop an information system. Recently, many researchers and professionals share a vision in which the conceptual schema... | | Effective IT Service Management: To ITIL and Beyond!IT service management (ITSM) is the group of processes and functions that oil the wheels of the IT machine. Without ITSM, every IT project and system would deteriorate over time until failure. ITIL is the recognized best-practice standard for ITSM, and has been around since the late 1980s, with ITIL version 3 published just recently. However, many... | | Introduction to Reconfigurable Computing: Architectures, algorithms and applicationsThe book by Christophe Bobda, however, has also been written for people with a software background, substantially reducing the educational leap by bridging the gap. His book has the potential to become a best-seller and to stimulate the urgently needed transformation of the software developer populations mind set, by playing a similar role as known... |

Software Measurement: Establish - Extract - Evaluate - ExecuteOur world and our society are shaped and increasingly governed by software. We might accept it or not, but it is happening at this point and will continue further on. It is difficult to imagine our world without software. There would be no running water, food supplies, business or transportation would disrupt immediately, diseases would spread, and... | | | | |

Secure Data Management in Decentralized Systems (Advances in Information Security)The research scope of database security has expanded greatly, due to the rapid development of the global inter-networked infrastructure. Databases are no longer stand-alone systems that are only accessible to internal users of organizations. Instead, allowing selective access from different security domains has become a must for many business... | | Neural Networks Theory"Neural Networks Theory is a major contribution to the neural networks literature. It is a treasure trove that should be mined by the thousands of researchers and practitioners worldwide who have not previously had access to the fruits of Soviet and Russian neural network research. Dr. Galushkin is to be congratulated and thanked for his... | | Forensic Computing (Practitioner)Throughout this book you will find that we have consistently referred to the term “Forensic Computing” for what is often elsewhere called “Computer Forensics”. In the UK, however,when we first started up, the name “Computer Forensics” had been registered to a commercial company that was operating in this field... |

Essential RenderMan®When I wrote Essential RenderMan fast in 2002 it didn’t seem that I was writing about a moving target. The RenderMan API is a standard, and hence doesn’t change radically from release to release. However, once you start writing things down they seem to change far more quickly than you expect.
No sooner had the book gone to... | | Distributed Services with OpenAFS: for Enterprise and EducationThis book shows in detail how to build enterprise-level secure,redundant, and highly scalable services from scratch on top of theopen source Linux operating system, suitable for small companies aswell as big universities. The core architecture presented is based onKerberos, LDAP, AFS, and Samba. It is shown how to integrate web,message related,... | | Multimedia Retrieval (Data-Centric Systems and Applications)Retrieval of multimedia data is different from retrieval of structured data. A key problem in multimedia databases is search, and the proposed solutions to the problem of multimedia information retrieval span a rather wide spectrum of topics outside the traditional database area, ranging from information retrieval and humancomputer interaction to... |
