Foundations of Empirical Software Engineering: The Legacy of Victor R. Basili

Springer, 2005

Although software engineering can trace its beginnings to a NATO conference in 1968, it cannot be said to have become an empirical science until the 1970s with the advent of the work of Prof. Victor Robert Basili of the University of Maryland. In addition to the need to engineer software was the need to understand software. Much like other...

Databases, Information Systems, and Peer-to-Peer Computing: First International Workshop, DBISP2P, Berlin Germany

Springer, 2004

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the First International Workshop on Databases, Information Systems, and Peer-to-Peer Computing, DBISP2P 2003, held in Berlin, Germany in September 2003 as a satellite event of VLDB 2003.The 16 revised full papers presented together with the abstract of an invited contribution were...

Are You Afraid of the Dark? : A Novel

William Morrow, 2004

All around the globe, people are being reported dead or missing.

In Berlin, a woman vanishes from the city streets. In Paris, a man plunges from the Eiffel Tower. In Denver, a small plane crashes into the mountains. In Manhattan, a body washes ashore along the East River. At first these seem to be random incidents, but the police...

The Shellcoder's Handbook: Discovering and Exploiting Security Holes

John Wiley & Sons, 2007

The black hats have kept up with security enhancements. Have you?

In the technological arena, three years is a lifetime. Since the first edition of this book was published in 2004, built-in security measures on compilers and operating systems have become commonplace, but are still far from perfect. Arbitrary-code execution...

Fires in Silos: Hazards, Prevention, and Fire Fighting

John Wiley & Sons, 2009

Storage of chemicals in silos is ubiquitous in the chemical, pharmaceutical and other producing industries, and some 80 % of all bulk materials are inflammable. It is here that the risk of large fires arises due to self-ignition or the intrusion of different ignition sources. For firefighters, most silo fires are very difficult to handle due to the...

Advances in Data Analysis: Proceedings of the 30th Annual Conference

Springer, 2007

The book focuses on exploratory data analysis, learning of latent structures in datasets, and unscrambling of knowledge. It covers a broad range of methods from multivariate statistics, clustering and classification, visualization and scaling as well as from data and time series analysis. It provides new approaches for information retrieval and...

Advanced Tomographic Methods in Materials Research and Engineering (Monographs on the Physics and Chemistry of Materials)

Oxford University Press, 2008

Tomography provides three-dimensional images of heterogeneous materials or engineering components, and offers an unprecedented insight into their internal structure. By using X-rays generated by synchrotrons, neutrons from nuclear reactors, or electrons provided by transmission electron microscopes, hitherto invisible structures can be revealed...

Decomposition Methods for Differential Equations: Theory and Applications

CRC Press, 2009

Decomposition Methods for Differential Equations: Theory and Applications describes the analysis of numerical methods for evolution equations based on temporal and spatial decomposition methods. It covers real-life problems, the underlying decomposition and discretization, the stability and consistency analysis of the decomposition...

Digital Audio Broadcasting: Principles and Applications of Digital Radio

John Wiley & Sons, 2003

The new digital radio system Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) nowadays often called Digital Radio is a very innovative and universal multimedia broadcast system which will replace the existing AM and FM audio broadcast services in many parts of the world in the near future. DAB is well suited for mobile reception and provides very high...

3D Videocommunication: Algorithms, concepts and real-time systems in human centred communication

John Wiley & Sons, 2005

The migration of immersive media towards telecommunication applications is advancing rapidly. Impressive progress in the field of media compression, media representation, and the larger and ever increasing bandwidth available to the customer, will foster the introduction of these services in the future. One of the key components for the...

Osgi in Action: Creating Modular Applications in Java

Manning Publications, 2011

When I started working with OSGi technology back in 2000, I would’ve never guessed I’d still be working with it a decade later. Back then, OSGi was targeting the embedded market niche, but that wasn’t my area of interest. I wanted to create highly dynamic, modular applications, and OSGi gave me the possibility of...

Superconductivity: Fundamentals and Applications (Physics)

John Wiley & Sons, 2004

Comprehensive and easy to understand this introductory text on superconductivity was especially written for the nonspecialist. The author, an active researcher in the field for more than forty years, presents the fundamental considerations (without too much mathematics), describes the various phenomena connected with the superconducting state,...
