Review Real-Time Database and Information Systems: Research Advances (The International Series in Engineering and Computer Science) / Springer:

Real-time systems are defined as those for which correctness depends not only on the logical properties of the produced results, but also on the temporal properties of these results. In a database, real-time means that in addition to typical logical consistency constraints, such as a constraint on a data item's value, there are constraints on when transactions execute and on the `freshness' of the data transactions access. The challenges and tradeoffs faced by the designers of real-time database systems are quite different from those faced by the designers of general-purpose database systems. To achieve the fundamental requirements of timeliness and predictability, not only do conventional methods for scheduling and transaction management have to be redesigned, but also new concepts that have not been considered in conventional database systems or in real-time systems need to be added. Real-Time Database and Information Systems: Research Advances is devoted to new techniques for scheduling of transactions, concurrency management, transaction logging, database languages, and new distributed database architectures. Real-Time Database and Information Systems: Research Advances is primarily intended for practicing engineers and researchers working in the growing area of real-time database and information retrieval systems. For practitioners, the book will provide a much needed bridge for technology transfer and continued education. For researchers, the book will provide a comprehensive reference for well-established results. The book can also be used in a senior or graduate level course on real-time systems, real-time database systems, and database systems, or closely related courses.

To appreciate the book, basic knowledge of traditional database technology, information retrieval, and XML is needed. The book is ideally suited for courses or seminars at the graduate level as well as for education of research and development professionals working on Web applications, digital libraries, database systems, and information retrieval.

Review Butterworth-Heinemann  / The Enterprise Architecture IT Project Publication date: 2003-01-06
Dewey code: 658.4038
List Price: $80.95
Price: $58.22

Review The Enterprise Architecture IT Project / Butterworth-Heinemann:

The basis for an Enterprise Architecture IT project comes from the identification of the changes necessary to implement the enterprise or organisations strategy, and the growing information needs arising from this, which increases the demand for the development of the IT system. The development of an IT system can be carried out using an urbanisation approach i. e. building an IT system using the metaphor of a city. This concept is based on the fact that in constructing or reorganising information systems, the reconstruction and modernisation involves permanent elements, as are found in a city. Although relatively new, this approach has been successfully employed in a number of projects over the past few years. The practical approach given in this book allows enterprises or organisations trying to safeguard the efficiency of their IT system, while minimising costs and risk, to implement the theory and put it into practice.

Review The Teradata database: Application and archive/recovery utilities / Education in Parallel:

As the latest update in the popular Teradata Database trilogy, this book continues the fascinating journey into the nether-world of large-scale data maintenance and disaster recovery. Taken at face value, it discusses a succession of powerful utilities for the large-scale processing and recovery of huge amounts of data, and identifies the particular situations in which each, in turn, becomes a top performer in its class. Beneath the surface however, it reveals how Teradata covertly uses the concept of multiple sessions to induce a sequential-processing mainframe or PC to behave as if it were a parallel-processing device, and the many creative and innovative ways it employs those same multiple sessions to wring the very last droplets of performance from the powerful Teradata parallel-processing architecture. This book becomes an important supplement to those who can afford the luxury of a classroom education in the Teradata Database, and a valuable alternative to those who cannot.
