Being the de-facto standard for data representation and exchange over the Web, XML (Extensible Markup Language) allows the easy development of applications that exchange data over the Web. This creates a set of data management requirements involving XML. XML and related standards have been extensively applied in many business, service, and...
This book is a selection of the revised contributions that were initially submitted to the International Workshop on Adaptive Multimedia Retrieval (AMR 2007). The workshop was organized at the University Pierre and Marie Curie in Paris, France, during July 5–6, 2007.
The goal of the AMR workshops is to intensify the exchange...
If you’re an application programmer you’ve probably run into a relational database at
some point in your professional career. Whether you’re writing enterprise client-server
applications or building the next Web 2.0 killer application, you need someplace to
put the persistent data for your application, and relational...
Algebraic geometry has found fascinating applications to coding theory
and cryptography in the last few decades. This book aims to provide the
necessary theoretical background for reading the contemporary literature on
these applications. An aspect that we emphasize, as it is very useful for
the applications, is the interplay between...
Microsoft® SharePoint® 2010 is the fourth incarnation of the popular collaboration and
content management platform from Microsoft. With each release, the reach and capabilities
of SharePoint products and technologies have grown, offering new tools to organizations
and new opportunities to developers. With SharePoint 2010, you...
Since the publication of the second edition of this highly acclaimed textbook, telecommunications has progressed at a rapid rate. Major advances continue to occur in mobile communications and broadband digital networks and services, sophisticated signal processing techniques are prevalent at increasingly higher bit rates, and digital systems...
The practice of IP address management (IPAM) entails the application of network management disciplines to Internet Protocol (IP) address space and associated network services, namely Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS). The linkages among an IP address plan and configurations of DHCP and DNS servers are...
The story of software engineering has been the story of increasing the
level of abstraction at which we as programmers work, from logic encoded
in hardware to toggle switches representing binary digits, through machine
code, assembly language, low-level languages, and high-level languages
both procedural and functional. More recently,...
Data communication networks are widely used today and are an integral part of our
daily life. The Internet is a medium for business, personal, and government communication,
and it is difficult to envision today’s society without this essential
infrastructure. The continued success of the Internet is dependent on our ability
to...
When we began writing this book, we had a fundamental tenet: Write a clear handbook
for creating the organization’s IT audit function and for performing their IT audits. We
wanted this book to provide more than checklists and textbook theories but instead to
provide real-life practical guidance from people who have performed IT...
This book guides you through the whole network monitoring implementation process. It covers all NNMi features and gives you hints to adapt this management software to your specific needs. It also describes how to use built-in features and adapt them in the most efficient way. It stitches the gap between technical personnel and management,...
With the availability of chips offering constantly increasing computational performance and
functionality, design of more and more complex applications becomes possible. This is particularly
true for the domain of image processing, which is characterized by huge computation
efforts. Unfortunately, this evolution risks to be stopped by...
