"Fletcher and Gardner have created a comprehensive resource that will be of interest not only to those working in the field of finance, but also to those using numerical methods in other fields such as engineering, physics, and actuarial mathematics. By showing how to combine the high-level elegance, accessibility, and flexibility of...
Your CPU meter shows a problem. One core is running at 100 percent, but all the other cores are idle. Your application is CPU-bound, but you are using only a fraction of the computing power of your multicore system. Is there a way to get better performance?
The answer, in a nutshell, is parallel programming. Where you...
The IFIP World Computer Congress (WCC) is one of the most important conferences in the area of computer science at the worldwide level and it has a federated structure, which takes into account the rapidly growing and expanding interests in this area. Informatics is rapidly changing and becoming more and more connected to a number of human...
Digital forensics deals with the acquisition, preservation, examination, analysis and presentation of electronic evidence. Networked computing, wireless communications and portable electronic devices have expanded the role of digital forensics beyond traditional computer crime investigations. Practically every type of crime now involves some...
Welcome to the proceedings of the 20th International Workshop on Power and TimingModeling, Optimization and Simulations, PATMOS 2010. Over the years, PATMOS has evolved into an important European event, where researchers from both industry and academia discuss and investigate the emerging challenges in future and contemporary applications,...
This intentionally terse recipe collection provides you with 21 easily adaptable Twitter mining recipes and is a spin-off of Mining the Social Web (O'Reilly), a more comprehensive work that covers a much larger cross-section of the social web and related analysis. Think of this ebook as the jetpack that you can strap onto that great...
Software automates a wide variety of business processes in modern enterprises. Changes made to software are, in effect, changes made to the business processes themselves that govern and automate the internal and external operations of an organization.Without a proper disciplined approach to change management, enterprises lack a full...
The RSA conference was initiated in 1991 and is a major international event for cryptography and information security researchers as well as the industry related to these disciplines. It is an annual event that attracts hundreds of vendors and thousands of participants from industry and academia. Since 2001, the RSA conference has included...
Filters, especially analog filters, are employed in many different systems that electrical engineers embark upon to design. Even many signal processing systems that are apparently digital, often contain one or more analog continuous-time filters either internally or as interface with the real-time world, which is analog in nature. This book...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Compiler Construction, CC 2011, held in Saarbrücken, Germany, March 26—April 3, 2011, as part of ETAPS 2011, the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software. The 15 revised full papers presented together with the abstract of one...
Data mining and data modeling are hot topics and are under fast development. Because of its wide applications and rich research contents, a lot of practitioners and academics are attracted to work on these areas. In the view of promoting the communications and collaborations among the practitioners and researchers in Hong Kong, a two-day...
Software engineering research can trace its roots to a small number of highly influential individuals. Among that select group is Prof. Leon J. Osterweil, whose work has fundamentally defined or impacted major directions in software analysis, developmenttools and environments, and software process. His exceptional and sustained contributions...
