Evolved from the lectures of a recognized pioneer in developing the theory of reliability, Mathematical Models for Systems Reliability provides a rigorous treatment of the required probability background for understanding reliability theory.
This classroom-tested text begins by discussing the Poisson process and its associated...
Role-based access control (RBAC) promises to provide several benefits to organizations. These benefits include simplified security provisioning and administration, ease of reporting on privileges and to whom they are available, and finer grained security authorization. By being policy-neutral, RBAC can be used to enforce the variety of access...
In the last few years, power dissipation has become an important design constraint, on par with performance, in the design of new computer systems. Whereas in the past, the primary job of the computer architect was to translate improvements in operating frequency and transistor count into performance, now power efficiency must be taken into account...
Developments in cognitive science indicate that human and nonhuman primates share a range of behavioral and physiological characteristics that speak to the issue of language origins. This volume has three major themes, woven throughout the chapters. First, it is argued that scientists in animal behavior and anthropology need to move beyond...
This book presents the Neuroprocessor, a novel computational neuronal interface device implemented in VLSI technology. In addition to neuronal signals acquisition, it can process the data, generate stimuli and transmit the data over wireless channels, while using minimum electric energy.
The NeuroProcessor opens with a brief background...

This inspirational book and DVD give you everything you need to create convincing CG lightin; from the concepts and theoretical aspects to the techniques and tricks that are essential in a production environment. The stunning color illustrations throughout the book illustrate...
A very ambitious undertaking, masterfully described. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first published version of the detailed models implied by the Zachman Framework. David Hay builds the models one step at a time, describing in each increment why the new entities were added, and how they related to the rest of the model. At least as...
An indispensable working resource for IT professionals moving to Linux-based network systems
More and more companies are now using Linux as their server operating system of choice. That’s because the costs are lower, there’s a greater amount of flexibility, and the code is much more reliable. As a result, there is a bigger demand...
