The papers in this volume were presented at the 20th Annual International Symposium
on Algorithms and Computation, held December 16–18, 2009, in Hawaii,
USA. In response to the Call-for-Papers, 279 papers were submitted. Each paper
received at least three reviews by either Program Committee members or experts
selected by Program...
My last SQL Server performance book was aimed at SQL Server 6.5. When Microsoft released SQL Server 7.0 it was almost as if it were a new product. Although it was backward compatible in many areas with SQL Server 6.5, the architecture was very different. For starters, the on-disk structure was completely changed. The usage of files...
Presenting Windows Workflow Foundation is a premium reference that provides information on a key part of WinFX, providing universally accessible and consistent workflow technology for the Windows platform. Windows Workflow Foundation delivers an API as part of WinFX and a workflow designer...
The fully comprehensive text covers most of the theoretical foundations and mathematical derivations that will be used in higher-level related subjects such as signal processing, communication, and control, minimizing the mathematical difficulty and computational burden.
Complying actively with the requirement by ABET (Accreditation Board for...
.NET parallel extensions brings the power of parallel and asynchronous programming to a much wider developer audience than ever before. This book will give a developer with no multithreaded development experience the ability to write highly scalable parallel applications that take advantage of modern multicore processors.If you are an...
ANALYZE HUGE AMOUNTS OF BUSINESS DATA FASTER, MORE EASILY, AND MORE ACCURATELY!
Use Microsoft’s free PowerPivot add-in for Excel 2010 to analyze immense amounts of data from any source, perform state-of-the-art business analysis far more easily, and make better decisions in less...
There is a software gap between hardware potential and the performance that can
be attained using today ’ s software parallel program development tools. The tools
need manual intervention by the programmer to parallelize the code. This book is
intended to give the programmer the techniques necessary to explore parallelism in...
Together the book and CD-ROM form a learning system that provides both investigative studies and the visualization of complex processes. A didactic concept is undertaken for microelectronics, computer technology and communication engineering, which deals with the visualization of signals and processes in addition to graphical programming of...
This book models an idealized neuron as being driven by basic electrical elements, the goal being to systematically characterize the logical properties of neural pulses. In order to constitute a system, neurons as pulsating devices may be represented using novel circuit elements as delineated in this book. A plausible brain...
We live in an era in which parallel computing has become mainstream and very affordable. This is mainly because hardware costs have come down rapidly. With the advent of the Internet, we also experience the phenomenon of data explosion in every application of interest. Processing voluminous datasets is highly computation intensive. Parallel...
SQL Azure represents Microsoft’s cloud-based delivery of its enterprise-caliber, SQL Server database management system (formerly under the code name "Oslo"). Pro SQL Azure introduces you to this new platform, showing you how to program and administer it in a variety of cloud computing scenarios. You’ll learn to...
