With ever increasing frequency, financial studies in business are acquiring greater importance in the field of management as a consequence of the complexity of the problems arising in present day society. The old treaties that included certain aspects on the raising and placing of payment means have been relegated to history, leaving the way...
It's taken a few years, but mobile and devices are finally hot. How hot? Like biting into a
freshly ripe, raw, Habanero chili kind-a-HOT. Can you taste the virtual heat on your virtual
tongue yet?
Yowza! The point I'm trying to get across is this. The broader mobile and device industry
has finally gone mainstream. Why...
FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING is an important paradigm of programming that looks back on
a long history. The subject has always been very relevant to people who teach others how to
program — the clean and logical concepts of functional programming lend themselves especially
well to teaching. Certain industries that use computers and self...
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 about solving partial differential equations (PDEs) . Such equations
are used to model a wide range of phenomena in virtually all fields of science
and technology. In the last decade, the general availability of extremely
powerful computers has shifted the focus in computational mathematics from
simplified model problems...
Web-based Support Systems (WSS) are an emerging multidisciplinary research area
in which one studies the support of human activities with the Web as the common
platform, medium and interface. The Internet affects every aspect of our modern life.
Moving support systems to online is an increasing trend in many research domains.
One of...
Image synthesis, or rendering, is a field of transformation: it changes
geometry and physics into meaningful images. Because the most popular
algorithms frequently change, it is increasingly important for researchers
and implementors to have a basic understanding of the principles of image
synthesis. Focusing on theory, Andrew...
This book provides an in-depth look at how to build web-based applications (web apps)
for Google TV, a new platform that integrates the open web with traditional TV. This
powerful and versatile new platform includes Google Chrome, a modern web browser
that enables developers to deliver rich and sophisticated web apps to Google TV...
In the five months that I have been researching and writing Cloud Computing Bible, it has become clear to me that most people recognize that cloud computing is a big deal, even if they are not really clear why that is so. Every day newspaper and magazine articles and radio and TV stories report on cloud computing. The phrase “in the...
"Modeling" has become one of the primary concerns in modern Software
Engineering. The reason is simple: starting development processes from clear
and succinct models has proven to foster not only quality but also productivity.
With the advance of modeling there also came a desire for automatic code
generation from models....
