Review Database Systems Engineering (Oxford Applied Mathematics and Computing Science Series) / Oxford University Press, USA:It is crucial for information systems engineers at all levels to understand the practice and relevant theory associated with databases. However, existing books tend to treat database issues in isolation. By presenting the reader with a coherent treatment of database material within a sound engineering context, the author prepares both the student and practitioner for the relevant roles the discipline demands. The book covers the principles and practice of database system development and management from the perspective of the development process as an engineering discipline, within the broader context of information systems. The result is a comprehensive and practical methodology for database system development that will be invaluable to students and practicing system developers.

Review Effective Use of Java Data Objects in Developing Database Applications; Advantages and Disadvantages / Storming Media:This is a NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A629424. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: Currently, the most common approach in developing database applications is to use an object-oriented language for the frontend module and a relational database for the backend datastore. The major disadvantage of this approach is the well-known impedance mismatch in which some form of mapping is required to connect the objects in the frontend and the relational tuples in the backend. Java Data Objects (JDO) technology is recently proposed Java API that eliminates the impedance mismatch. By using JDO API, the programmers deal strictly with objects. JDO hides the details of the backend datastore by providing the object-oriented view of the datastore. JDO automatically handles the mapping between the objects and the underlying data in the relational database, which is hidden from the programmer. [+]This thesis investigates the effectiveness of JDO. Part of the analysis will develop a database application using JDO. Although JDO provides the benefits of object-orientation in design and implementation of the databases, it is not immune from problems and limitations. The thesis will also analyze the advantages and disadvantages of using JDO and discuss the areas requiring improvements in future releases.

Review Agent-Based Hybrid Intelligent Systems / Springer:Solving complex problems in real-world contexts, such as financial investment planning or mining large data collections, involves many different sub-tasks, each of which requires different techniques. To deal with such problems, a great diversity of intelligent techniques are available, including traditional techniques like expert systems approaches and soft computing techniques like fuzzy logic, neural networks, or genetic algorithms. These techniques are complementary approaches to intelligent information processing rather than competing ones, and thus better results in problem solving are achieved when these techniques are combined in hybrid intelligent systems. Multi-Agent Systems are ideally suited to model the manifold interactions among the many different components of hybrid intelligent systems. This book introduces agent-based hybrid intelligent systems and presents a framework and methodology allowing for the development of such systems for real-world applications. The authors focus on applications in financial investment planning and data mining.

Review CryptoGraphics: Exploiting Graphics Cards For Security (Advances in Information Security) / Springer:Software that covertly monitors user actions, also known as spyware, has become a first-level security threat due to its ubiquity and the difficulty of detecting and removing it. This is especially so for video conferencing, thin-client computing and Internet cafes. CryptoGraphics: Exploiting Graphics Cards for Security explores the potential for implementing ciphers within GPUs, and describes the relevance of GPU-based encryption to the security of applications involving remote displays. As the processing power of GPUs increases, research involving the use of GPUs for general purpose computing has arisen. This work extends such research by considering the use of a GPU as a parallel processor for encrypting data. The authors evaluate the operations found in symmetric and asymmetric key ciphers to determine if encryption can be programmed in existing GPUs. A detailed description for a GPU based implementation of AES is provided. The feasibility of GPU-based encryption allows the authors to explore the use of a GPU as a trusted system component. Unencrypted display data can be confined to the GPU to avoid exposing it to any malware running on the operating system.
