With the unprecedented rate at which data is being collected today in almost all
elds of human endeavor, there is an emerging economic and scienti c need to
extract useful information from it. For example, many companies already have
data-warehouses in the terabyte range (e.g., FedEx, Walmart). The World Wide
Web has an estimated 800...
Websites continue to evolve, growing in scope and complexity every year,
with new features popping up all the time to make the Web look and
work better. Even people building personal websites use various programming
languages and server technologies to dish up content.
Throughout its history, Dreamweaver has managed to keep...
Artificial neural networks, or simply called neural networks, refer to the
various mathematical models of human brain functions such as perception,
computation and memory. It is a fascinating scientific challenge of our time to
understand how the human brain works. Modeling neural networks facilitates
us in investigating the...
Cooperative network supercomputing is becoming increasingly popular for harnessing the power of the global Internet computing platform. A typical Internet supercomputer consists of a master computer or server and a large number of computers called workers, performing computation on behalf of the master. Despite the simplicity and benefits of...
Wiley-Interscience Series in Discrete Mathematics and Optimization Advisory Editors Ronald L. Graham Jan Karel Lenstra Robert E. Tarjan Discrete Mathematics and Optimization involves the study of finite structures. It is one of the fastest growing areas in mathematics today. The level and depth of recent advances in the area and the wide...
Networks today have outgrown exponentially both in size and complexity, becoming
more multifaceted and increasingly challenging to secure. The blueprint of a core network
requires a strong foundation, which can be simply provided with an integrated firewall
architecture cemented at the core of the system. Today, the firewall has become...
With Blender 2.5 Hotshot you will take a tour around Blender 3D tools and discover the tight
integration between them by working on projects covering many aspects of computer image
generation, modeling, lighting, compositing, animation, and the game engine.
Using a projects based approach you will learn fun and challenging...
It is a great pleasure for me to write this foreword about a book that comes out
of one of the first research projects funded by ANR, the French National Research
Agency. ANR was established by the French government in 2005 to fund research
projects, based on competitive schemes giving researchers the best opportunities to
realize...
From the moment it was published almost ten years ago, Elements of User Experience became a vital reference for web and interaction designers the world over, and has come to define the core principles of the practice. Now, in this updated, expanded, and full-color new edition, Jesse James Garrett has refined his...
As software complexity increases, proper build practices become ever more important. This essential reference drills inside MSBuild—and shows how to maximize your control over the build and deployment process. Learn how to customize and extend build processes with MSBuild—and scale them to the team, product, or enterprise...
Sinha explains the use of Windows and Windows NT inter-process communication methods to build applications which can communicate with their counterparts over the network. This book explores the challenges that developers face when they are developing network-aware or client/server programs within the Windows and Windows NT operating systems.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of basic theoretical approaches of today’s leadership research. These approaches conceive leadership as an interactive and complex process. They stress the significance of the individual perception for developing and forming leadership relations. Leadership is understood as...
