A Hands-On Guide to Equinox and the OSGi Framework
In OSGI and Equinox: Creating Highly Modular Java™ Systems, three leading experts show developers--for the first time--exactly how to make the most of these breakthrough technologies for building highly modular dynamic systems.
In less than half a decade, the iOS platform has changed the way that we, the public, think about our mobile computing devices. Only a few years ago, we were thrilled by phones with postage-stamp-sized screens, tinny audio, built-in tip calculators, and text-based web browsing. Times have indeed...
The finest schools and best programming books in the world offer a plethora of information
about how to string bits of code together into elegant applications and
programs. They discuss grand theories of operation, talk about design patterns on a
conceptual and enterprise-level field, and teach us the syntax, idiosyncrasies and, in...
This book stemmed from the author’s other book—Software Performance and Scalability: a Quantitative Approach, published by Wiley in 2009. That book helps
readers grasp the basic concepts, principles, methodologies, best practices, queueing theories, and profiling tools associated with optimizing software performance and...
This book was prompted by the desire to fill the gap between theoretical descriptions and a more
pedagogical description of the main technological components of International Mobile Telecommunications
Advanced (IMT-Advanced) such as Radio Resource Management (RRM), Carrier
Image registration is the process of finding correspondence between all points in
two images of a scene. This correspondence is required in stereo depth perception,
3-D scene reconstruction, object detection and recognition, change detection, image
fusion, object tracking and motion analysis. Analysis of two or more images of a...
Systems analysis and design (SAND) is an evolving field that still represents the point where business and
technology intersects. As discussed in (Bajaj, Batra, Hevner, Parsons, & Siau, 2005), SAND represents
the core of management information systems (MIS) curricula but is underrepresented in the area of MIS
research. The...
This book is intended as an introduction to the design of digital processors that are dedicated to
performing a particular task. It presents a number of general methods and also covers general
purpose architectures such as programmable processors and configurable logic. In fact, the
dedicated digital system might be based on a standard...
Large volumes of data and complex problems inspire research in computing and data, text, and web
mining. However, analyzing data is not sufficient, as it has to be presented visually with analytical capabilities,
i.e., a chart/diagram/image illustration that enables humans to perceive, relate, and conclude
in the knowledge discovery...
This book brings together representative views of recent research and practice in
the area of relating software requirements and software architectures. We believe
that all practicing requirements engineers and software architects, all researchers
advancing our understanding and support for the relationship between software...
With the increasing popularization of the Internet, together with the rapid
development of 3D scanning technologies and modeling tools, 3D model
databases have become more and more common in fields such as biology,
chemistry, archaeology and geography. People can distribute their own 3D works
over the Internet, search and download 3D...
We are delighted to present the proceedings of the 2010 International Conference
on Parallel and Distributed Computing and Networks (PDCN 2010) held in
Chongqing, China, during 13–14 December, 2010. The objective of PDCN is to
provide a forum for researchers, educators, engineers, and government officials
involved in the general...
