Review Concurrency 88: International Conference on Concurrency Hamburg, FRG, October 18-19, 1988. Proceedings (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) / Springer:This volume contains the proceedings of CONCURRENCY 88, an international conference on formal methods for distributed systems, held October 18-19, 1988 in Hamburg. CONCURRENCY 88 responded to great interest in the field of formal methods as a means of mastering the complexity of distributed systems. In addition, the impulse was determined by the fact that the various methodological approaches, such as constructive or property oriented methods, have not had an extensive comparative analysis nor have they been investigated with respect to their possible integration and their practical implications. The following topics were addressed: Specification Languages, Models for Distributed Systems, Verification and Validation, Knowledge Based Protocol Modeling, Fault Tolerance, Distributed Databases. The volume contains 12 invited papers and 14 contributions selected by the program committee. They were presented by authors from Austria, the Federal Republic of Germany, France, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Review The Data Modeling Handbook: A Best-Practice Approach to Building Quality Data Models / Wiley:A Straightforward, No-Nonsense Guide to Building the Most Accurate, Complete, and Useful Data Models Possible. How do I know if my data model is accurate? When is a model really complete? Is it possible for a model to be both technically perfect and of no use to an organization, and what can I do to avoid that problem? This book provides answers to these and other crucial data modeling questions. While there are plenty of books that describe the characteristics of finished high-quality data models, only The Data Modeling Handbook gets down to the nitty-gritty of actually building one. Packed with real-world examples, annotated diagrams, and a wealth of rules and best practices, this field-tested guide provides experienced data modelers, architects, and engineers with hands-on guidance from two noted data management experts. The only book offering clear, straightforward rules and guidelines for judging model accuracy and completenessPresents all rules in several notations, including IDEF1X, Martin, Chen, and FinkelsteinCompares and contrasts the most popular modeling styles and demonstrates how great models can be built using any type of notationExplains how to use an organization’s plans, policies, objectives, and strategies to build accurate, complete, and useful modelsOffers detailed guidance to establishing a continuous quality evaluation program that’s easy to implement and followPacked with real-world examples and annotated diagrams illustrating each point coveredDescribes how to use Case tools most effectively to build high-quality models.

Review Information Visualization in Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Data Management Systems) / Morgan Kaufmann:Mainstream data mining techniques significantly limit the role of human reasoning and insight. Likewise, in data visualization, the role of computational analysis is relatively small. The power demonstrated individually by these approaches to knowledge discovery suggests that somehow uniting the two could lead to increased efficiency and more valuable results. But is this true? How might it be achieved? And what are the consequences for data-dependent enterprises?Information Visualization in Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery is the first book to ask and answer these thought-provoking questions. It is also the first book to explore the fertile ground of uniting data mining and data visualization principles in a new set of knowledge discovery techniques. Leading researchers from the fields of data mining, data visualization, and statistics present findings organized around topics introduced in two recent international knowledge discovery and data mining workshops. Collected and edited by three of the area's most influential figures, these chapters introduce the concepts and components of visualization, detail current efforts to include visualization and user interaction in data mining, and explore the potential for further synthesis of data mining algorithms and data visualization techniques. This incisive, groundbreaking research is sure to wield a strong influence in subsequent efforts in both academic and corporate settings. * Details advances made by leading researchers from the fields of data mining, data visualization, and statistics. * Provides a useful introduction to the science of visualization, sketches the current role for visualization in data mining, and then takes a long look into its mostly untapped potential. [+]* Presents the findings of recent international KDD workshops as formal chapters that together comprise a complete, cohesive body of research. * Offerss compelling and practical information for professionals and researchers in database technology, data mining, knowledge discovery, artificial intelligence, machine learning, neural networks, statistics, pattern recognition, information retrieval, high-performance computing, and data visualization.
