Metonymy: Hidden Shortcuts in Language, Thought and Communication (Cambridge Studies in Cognitive Linguistics)

Cambridge University Press, 2015

'Metonymy' is a type of figurative language used in everyday conversation, a form of shorthand that allows us to use our shared knowledge to communicate with fewer words than we would otherwise need.

Foundations and Novel Approaches in Data Mining (Studies in Computational Intelligence)

Springer, 2005

Data-mining has become a popular research topic in recent years for the treatment of the "data rich and information poor" syndrome. Currently, application oriented engineers are only concerned with their immediate problems, which results in an ad hoc method of problem solving. Researchers, on the other hand, lack an understanding of the...

Peopleware: Productive Projects and Teams (3rd Edition)

Addison Wesley, 2013

“Peopleware has long been one of my two favorite books on software engineering. Its underlying strength is its base of immense real experience, much of it quantified.

Data Networks, IP and the Internet: Protocols, Design and Operation

John Wiley & Sons, 2003

Modern data networks are all based on the Internet or on IP (Internet Protocol). But many people remain confused by multiprotocol networks. How do all the protocols fit together? How do I build a network? What do all the components do? What sort of problems should I expect?

Data Networks, IP and the Internet is intended not only for...
