Review The Design of Rijndael: AES - The Advanced Encryption Standard (Information Security and Cryptography) / Springer:In October 2000, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology selected the block cipher Rijndael as the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). AES is expected to gradually replace the present Data Encryption Standard (DES) as the most widely applied data encryption technology. |This book by the designers of the block cipher presents Rijndael from scratch. The underlying mathematics and the wide trail strategy as the basic design idea are explained in detail and the basics of differential and linear cryptanalysis are reworked. Subsequent chapters review all known attacks against the Rijndael structure and deal with implementation and optimization issues. Finally, other ciphers related to Rijndael are presented. |This volume is THE authoritative guide to the Rijndael algorithm and AES. Professionals, researchers, and students active or interested in data encryption will find it a valuable source of information and reference.

Review Package Evaluation: A Practical Guide to Selecting Application and Systems Software / Avebury:There is an increasing trend in IS/IT departments to steer away from internal systems development, in favour of purchasing systems solutions from software house. The success of this exercise is entirely dependent upon what is essentially a simple task - the comparison of potential packages against the stated requirements - yet one which has proved remarkably difficult to complete effectively. As the proportion of package solutions increases, so there is a greater need to be sure of selecting the best available option, and then to know where it fails to meet the requirement. This book proposes four techniques for evaluating packages. It will outline the issues which should be addressed, suggest a means for gathering and structuring the relevant information, and then detail the criteria for selecting or rejecting a package. The book finishes with an overview of the procurement and implementation processes.

Review Incomplete Information: Structure, Inference, Complexity / Springer:This monograph presents a systematic, exhaustive and up-to-date overview of formal methods and theories for data analysis and inference inspired by the concept of rough set. The book studies structures with incomplete information from the logical, algebraic and computational perspective. The formalisms developed are non-invasive in that only the actual information is needed in the process of analysis without external sources of information being required. The book is intended for researchers, lecturers and graduate students who wish to get acquainted with the rough set style approach to information systems with incomplete information.

Review Text Understanding in LILOG: Integrating Computational Linguistics and Artificial Intelligence. Final Report on the IBM Germany LILOG-Project (Lecture ... / Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence) / Springer:The IBM project LILOG presented in this volume represents a fundamental stepbeyond computer science as hitherto understood. It was a successful project in every respect and has shed light on conjectured basic interrelations between knowledge processing and language definition. Knowledge processing is strongly coupled to the natural language used, and for applied knowledge processing an information base is neededwhich defines the semantic contents and interrelations of the language. The LILOG project was an implementation of an information basein the German language. A set of tools was also developed to work with the system, including structured man-machine interfaces using natural language, inference algorithms, and a complete subsystem to acquire and store the required knowledge. The LILOG project started in 1985 and a functional system was demonstrated in 1991. The project involved approximately 200 of the scientists working in Germany in the fields of computational linguistics, natural language understanding systems, and artificial intelligence. The project proves that a cooperative project between universities and industry can produce useful results both in pure research and in implemented methods and tools.

Review Merise in Practice (Macmillan Computer Science Series) / MacMillan Education, Limited:Merise is now probably the most widely used methodology for information systems development in France. First introduced in the early 1980s, it has been developed and refined to the point where most large French governmental, commercial and industrial organizations have adopted it as their standard methodology. The authors show how Merise proceeds to separate treatment of data and processes, where the data view is modelled in three stages - from conceptual, and logical, through to physical. Similarly, the process-oriented view passes through the three stages of conceptual, organizational and operational. These stages in the modelling process are paralleled by the stages of the life cycle: strategic planning, preliminary study, detailed study, development, implementation and maintenance.
