server environment containing a large assortment of both...
The scaling of silicon technology has been ongoing for over forty years. We
are on our way to commercializing devices having a minimum feature size of
one-tenlh of a micron. The push for miniaturization comes from the demand
for higher functionality and higher performance at a lower cost. As a result,
successively higher levels of...
Numerous textbooks address software testing in a structured development environment.
By “structured” is meant a well-defined development cycle in which discretely

and technology. In the last decade, the general availability of extremely
powerful computers has shifted the focus in computational mathematics from
simplified model problems...
Where. Whether it refers to where you have been, where you are, or where you are
going, the concept of where is important. Where links data to the physical world. A
shopping list can be a very useful collection of data on its own, but that data can be
even more useful with more context. If you map the location of the stores needed for...

We have long felt that the traditional approach to teaching about Operating Systems
(OSs) was not the best approach. The purpose of this book is to support a different
approach to this task. When studying any complex domain of knowledge, the order
in which one learns the hierarchy of principles, laws, ideas, and concepts can make
the...
