Get the definitive guide to writing secure code and developing more-secure applications for Windows Vista--straight from the experts. Security is one of the greatest enhancements in Windows Vista, and developers will be urged to write more secure code on the platform to support a growing customer base. This reference delivers the straight scoop...
A network transmits information from point-to-point from an office, company,
school, aircraft carrier or, more generally, from anywhere on the planet. Very often
associated with the Internet, it has completely transformed the design of traditional
computer systems. To remember this, one need only read the short story by...
Distributed production networks are structures which are considered able to provide the organisational agility and efficiency necessary to compete in the global market. The performance of such organisations heavily depends on the ability of those involved in the network to coordinate their activities. Two approaches are available for managing...
As systems have grown more crucial to the operations of organizations worldwide, so too have the costs associated with building and maintaining them. Enter model-driven architecture (MDA), a standard framework from the Object Management Group (OMG) that allows developers to link object models together to build complete systems. MDA prevents design...
This is the first book on space-time coding for wireless communications, one of the most promising techniques for ensuring bandwidth efficiency. The text describes theoretical principles as well as engineering applications; discusses key criteria in the design of practical space-time codes; and covers single-carrier and multi-carrier transmission...
This volume contains the best papers presented at the 7th International Baltic Conference on Databases and Information Systems (BalticDB&IS’2006). The series of Baltic DB&IS conferences has been initiated by Janis Bubenko jr. and Arne Solvberg in 1994. The conferences are highly international and bring together academics and...
