This book is about a powerful tool called "regular expressions."
Here, you will learn how to use regular expressions to solve problems and get the most out of tools that provide them. Not only that, but much more: this book is about mastering regular expressions.
If you use a computer, you can benefit from regular...
Thousands of application developers and database administrators around the world use software provided by Oracle Corporation to build complex systems that manage vast quantities of data. At the heart of much of Oracle's software is PL/SQL -- a programming language that provides procedural extensions to the SQL relational...
Computability and complexity theory should be of central concern to practitioners as well as theorists. Unfortunately, however, the field is known for its impenetrability. Neil Jones's goal as an educator and author is to build a bridge between computability and complexity theory and other areas of computer science, especially programming. In a...
Most books on operating systems deal with theory while ignoring practice. While the usual principles are covered in detail, the book describes a small, but real UNIX-like operating system: MINIX. The book demonstrates how it works while illustrating the principles behind it. Operating Systems: Design and Implementation Second...
The second edition of this text is a much larger work than the first edition, having needed to be expanded with extensive new sections on data, broadband and multimedia networks and much extended coverage of modern transmission media, radio and network management. The technology may have moved on since 1990, but the original preface is as relevant...
In the last decades there has been a steadily growing need and interest in computational methods for solving optimization problems with or without constraints. They play an important role in many fields (chemistry, mechanic, electrical, economic, etc.). Optimization techniques have been gaining greater acceptance in many industrial applications....

Biological Techniques is a series of volumes aimed at introducing to a wide audience the latest advances in methodology. The pitfalls and problems of new techniques are given due consideration, as are those small but vital details not always explicit in the methods sections of journal papers.
The issue of fundamental limitations in filtering and control lies at the very heart of any feedback system design, since it reveals what is and is not achievable on the basis of that system's structural and dynamic characteristics. Alongside new succinct treatments of Bode's original results from the 1940s, this book presents a...
Universal Serial Bus System Architecture provides an in-depth discussion of USB and is based on the 1.0 version of the Universal Serial Bus specification. It focuses on the USB protocol, signaling environment, and electrical specifications, along with the hardware/software interaction required to configure and access USB devices. Although this...
