LAN Switch Security: What Hackers Know About Your Switches (Networking Technology: Security)

Cisco Press, 2007

LAN and Ethernet switches are usually considered as plumbing. They are easy to install and configure, but it is easy to forget about security when things appear to be simple.

Multiple vulnerabilities exist in Ethernet switches. Attack tools to exploit them started to appear a couple of years ago (for example, the well-known dsniff...

Handbook of Virtual Humans

John Wiley & Sons, 2004

Virtual Humans simulations are becoming increasingly popular and many systems are now available to animate Virtual Humans. Such systems encompass several different domains including autonomous agents in virtual environments, human factors analysis, training, education, virtual prototyping, simulation–based design and entertainment.

Reliability, Maintainability and Risk

Newnes, 2001

This 6th edition incorporates brand new material on the accuracy of reliability prediction and common cause failure based on the author's PhD research work. David J. Smith approaches these subjects from an entirely original and unique viewpoint, emphasising that the need to demonstrate that safety-related systems have been assessed against target...

High-Performance Client/Server

John Wiley & Sons, 1997

"Chris is one of the industry's most important thinkers on database design . . . I would strongly recommend this book to readers trying to get past the buzzwords and focus on what really makes a difference in achieving high-performance distributed systems." —David Stodder Editor-in-Chief, Database Programming & Design...

Task Scheduling for Parallel Systems (Wiley Series on Parallel and Distributed Computing)

John Wiley & Sons, 2007

A new model for task scheduling that dramatically improves the efficiency of parallel systems

Task scheduling for parallel systems can become a quagmire of heuristics, models, and methods that have been developed over the past decades. The author of this innovative text cuts through the confusion and complexity by...

Embedded Multitasking (Embedded Technology)

Newnes, 2006

In an embedded system, firmware is the software that directly interfaces with the microcontroller, controlling the systems function. The major forces driving the embedded firmware development process today are reduced development times, increased complexity, and the need to handle multiple tasks simultaneously. These forces translate into strenuous...

Multi-Agent-Based Simulation III: 4th International Workshop, MABS 2003, Melbourne, Australia, July 14th, 2003, Revised Papers

Springer, 2004

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Multi-Agent-Based Simulation, MABS 2003, held in Melbourne, Australia as part of AAMAS 2003.

The 11 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited papers were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers...

Systems Reliability and Failure Prevention (Artech House Technology Management Library)

Artech House Publishers, 2003

The primary aim of system reliability is the prevention of failures that affect the operational capability of a system. The probability of such failures can be reduced by the following:

• Conservative design—such as ample margins, use of parts and materials with established operating experience, and observing environmental...

The Practical Use of Fracture Mechanics

Springer, 1988

This book is about the use of fracture mechanics for the solution of practical problems; academic rigor is not at issue and dealt with only in as far as it improves insight and understanding; it often concerns secondary errors in engineering. Knowledge of (ignorance of) such basic input as loads and stresses in practical cases may cause errors far...

IP over WDM: Building the Next Generation Optical Internet

John Wiley & Sons, 2003

The primary objective of this book is to provide, in an understandable style, comprehensive and practical information on the transport of the Internet protocol (IP) over the optical/wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) layer. This is accomplished by providing sufficient background information on the enabling technologies, followed by an in-depth...
