DESIGN PATTERNS ARE class- and method-level solutions to common
problems in object-oriented design. If you’re an intermediate-level
Java programmer who wants to become advanced or an advancedlevel
Java programmer who hasn’t yet studied design patterns, this
book is for you.
Computational geometry concerns itself with designing and analyzing algorithms for solving geometric problems. The field has reached a high level of sophistication, and very complicated algorithms have been designed. However, it is also useful to develop more practical algorithms, so long as they are based on rigorous methods. One such method...
With the increasing focus on IT Security comes a higher demand for identity management
in the modern business. This requires a flexible, scalable, and secure authentication
method. Identity control is made mandatory by many public standards, such as PCI, and
PKI is an essential component to set up authentication in many technologies,...
This volume presents the fundamentals of graph theory and then goes on to discuss specific chemical applications. Chapter 1 provides a historical setting for the current upsurge of interest in chemical graph theory. chapter 2 gives a full background of the basic ideas and mathematical formalism of graph theory and includes such chemically...
Oracle RAC or Real Application Clusters is a grid computing solution that allows multiple nodes (servers) in a clustered system to mount and open a single database that resides on shared disk storage. Should a single system (node) fail, the database service will still be available on the remaining nodes. Oracle RAC is an integral part of the...
Information technology (IT) quality engineering and quality improvement methods
are constantly getting more attention from world corporate leaders, all levels of
management, design engineers, and academia. This trend can be seen easily by the
widespread of “Six Sigma” initiatives in many Fortune IT 500 companies. For a
Six...
A variety of problems m machine learning and digital communication deal with complex but structured natural or artificial systems. Natural patterns mat we wish to automatically classify' are a consequence of a hierarchical causal physical process. Learning about the world

Neural Networks started as an academic discipline over 50 years ago with the publication by McCulloch and Pitts of their famous result that any logical problem can be solved by a suitable network composed of so-called binary decision nodes. These are processors which make the simplest possible decision, that is, whether or not to respond to a...
Mobile communications have permeated the globe in both business and social
cultures. In only a few short years, Japan alone has had more than ten million
subscribers enter the mobile market. Such explosive popularity is an indication
of a strong commercial demand for communications in both the tethered and
tetherless environments.

World-renowned wedding photographer, and one of the most widely acclaimed instructors in the industry today, David Ziser brings his no-nonsense, straight-to-the-point teaching style to a book that totally rewrites...
Surfaces are a central to geographical analysis. Their generation and manipulation are a key component of geographical information systems (GISs). However, geographical surface data is often not precise. When surfaces are used to model geographical entities, the data inherently contains uncertainty in terms of both position and attribute....
