As information technology (IT) becomes specialized and fragmented, it is easy to lose sight that many topics have common threads and because of this, advances in one subdiscipline may transmit to another. The presentation of results between different subdisciplines encourages this interchange for the advancement of IT as a whole.
The last decade has witnessed a revolution in interdisciplinary research where the boundaries of different areas have overlapped or even disappeared. New fields of research emerge each day where two or more fields have integrated to form a new identity. Examples of these emerging areas include bioinformatics (synthesizing biology with...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the definite goal of understanding intelligence and
building intelligent systems. However, the methods and formalisms used on the way
to this goal are not firmly set, which has resulted in AI consisting of a multitude of
subdisciplines today. The difficulty in an introductory AI course lies in conveying...
Let’s face it, while GUI applications are nice and they do provide
significant levels of hand holding, they’re cumbersome and inefficient.
The command line is an essential part of the administrator
experience—at least, if the administrator wants to go home at night
and spend weekends somewhere other than work. Using...
We are entering the golden age of GPU computing. Since the introduction of CUDA in 2007, more
than 100 million computers with CUDA-capable GPUs have been shipped to end users. Unlike the
previous GPGPU shader programming models, CUDA supports parallel programming in C. From my
own experience in teaching CUDA programming, C programmers...
This book suits both graduate students and researchers with a focus on discovering
knowledge from scientific data. The use of computational power for data analysis
and knowledge discovery in scientific disciplines has found its roots with the revolution
of high-performance computing systems. Computational science in physics,...
We know that it is rare in IT departments today that solutions do not have to integrate with other systems and even external entities. Systems just have to be connected to support the complex business processes and levels of automation that the business is demanding. Some of these systems are really at the core of the business. They can...
During the 1980's the flat relational model (relational model), which was initiated by
Codd in 1970, gained immense popularity and acceptance in the market place. One of
the main reasons for this success is that the relational model provides physical data
independences i.e. changing the physical organization of the database does not...
