This text is an introduction to object-oriented (OO) design for second-year or higher
undergraduate computer science students. It discusses software design and implementation
in terms of “elegance,” which is defined in Chapter 1. It reviews the concepts
of object-oriented programming and then covers fundamental software...
In my position at IBM, I regularly brief executives, managers, and computer
professionals on data mining and neural network technology. In my briefings,
I cover the fundamentals of data mining and neural networks, and I
also discuss specific applications relevant to the customers' businesses.
Since time is usually limited, my goal...
Engineering and technical graphics have gone through
significant changes in the last decade, due to the use of
computers and CAD software. It seems as if some new
hardware or software development that impacts technical
graphics is occurring every year. Although these changes
are important to the subject of technical graphics, there...
You may be wondering why we chose a photo of astronauts working
in space on the Space Station for the cover. We actually chose it for
several reasons. Obviously, it is very exciting; in fact, space represents
the most exciting frontier for the entire world! In addition, much of the
station itself consists of all kinds of circuits! One...

We have long felt that the traditional approach to teaching about Operating Systems
(OSs) was not the best approach. The purpose of this book is to support a different
approach to this task. When studying any complex domain of knowledge, the order
in which one learns the hierarchy of principles, laws, ideas, and concepts can make
the...
This book is intended for an introductory course in digital logic design, which is a basic
course in most electrical and computer engineering programs. A successful designer of
digital logic circuits needs a good understanding of basic concepts and a firm grasp of
computer-aided design (CAD) tools. The purpose of our book is to provide...
This earliest recorded attempt to regulate the engineering profession reminds
us, in the bluntest way possible, that the paramount purpose of engineering and
engineering design is to serve the user. One would assume that the engineer’s
responsibility to users is so self evident that it goes without saying. Various
professional...
To be successful, the portable electronic designer must view the prod-
uct design process as a part of a broader process of product development.
While the insights and creativity of the individual designer are critical
in creating a successful product, the designer must be prepared to
engage through every phase of product development...
When the World Wide Web was first invented by Tim Berners-Lee, simply having
a means to create hypertext links to other documents (including ones on remote
computers), and to combine text and images using basic formatting, were
revolutionary concepts that we take for granted today.
The past few years document the following fact: The Web has irrevocably recast
the face of computing and programmers unwilling to master its environment will
be left behind.
The preceding is a strong statement. It is also true. More and more, applications
must interface to the Web. It no longer matters much what the...
