Review Collaborative Networked Organizations: A research agenda for emerging business models / Springer:The emerging paradigm of collaborative networked organizations (CNOs), or simply collaborative networks, represents a dynamic and multidisciplinary research and development area for which a number of research results are available from many international and national projects. A large number of practical application experiments and pilot cases also provide evidence on what works and what still remains as a challenge for CNOs. The fast evolution of information and communication technologies and in particular the so-called Internet technologies, also represents an important motivator for the emergence of new forms of collaboration. There is, however, an urgent need to start more consolidated and holistic research strategies to support proper developments in this area. This book includes a comprehensive set of recommendations from the multi-disciplines involved in CNOs, towards the establishment of a research agenda for emerging collaborative networks. These recommendations are the result of a 30-month initiative, the THINKcreative project, involving more than 250 experts and visionaries from academia, research, and industry. Collaborative Networked Organizations provides valuable elements for research strategy planners, decision-makers at research funding organizations, group leaders in research institutions, and heads of research departments in companies interested in research and innovative development activities in the area of e-business and collaborative networks. Furthermore, the book can also provide valuable direction to PhD advisors and PhD students to focus their research themes.

Review JDBC(TM) API Tutorial and Reference (3rd Edition) (Java Series) / Prentice Hall PTR:The second edition of the JDBC API Tutorial and Reference provides a worthwhile tour of the new features in Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) 2. 0 and serves well as a reference to Sun's new standard for Java database programming. Once you open this book, it becomes quickly obvious that it is more comprehensive than the first edition. The new edition begins with an overview of the JDBC API, including its architecture and overall design. Beginners will also be pleased with a short breakdown of the Java programming language and SQL basics. Early sections of the book walk through an approachable tutorial of JDBC, concentrating on topics such as connecting to databases, retrieving result sets, manipulating records, and handling database transactions. There's also coverage of using stored procedures, including embedded SQL with SQLJ. The book then turns to new JDBC 2. 0 API features, like scrollable cursors, updateable record sets, and batch updates. Experienced readers will appreciate how the authors show off JDBC 1. [+]0 code before presenting these new features. An explanation of SQL3 data types supported in JDBC 2. 0 follow the discussion of the API features. The book provides extensive support for finding and understanding recordsets and databases, including the use of the oddly named ResultSetMetaData and DatabaseMetaData classes, which have been greatly enhanced in JDBC 2. 0. (You can now write Java code that customizes itself at runtime for almost any SQL platform. ) Similar in spirit to the Microsoft OLE DB, the new JDBC 2. 0 now supports rowsets, which let programmers work with any tabular data store from within their applications. Most of the book (over 600 pages) functions as a reference containing every JDBC 2. 0 class. Presented alphabetically, each class comes with an introductory definition and a complete listing of its constituent members and methods (including deprecated APIs). Final sections include a guide to "SQL to Java" mappings and tips for writing JDBC drivers. Whether you are approaching JDBC for the very first time or are ramping up from JDBC 1. 0, there is perhaps no better source for learning about the enhanced powers of the new JDBC than this "official" guide from Sun. -Richard Dragan This book provides the definitive description of the JDBC(tm) API, the technology that enables universal data access for the Java(tm) programming language. This new edition has been updated and expanded to cover all of the JDBC 2. 0 API, including the JDBC 2. 0 core API and the JDBC Standard Extension API, the package that facilitates building server-side applications. Containing in-depth explanations that go beyond the specification, this complete resource pairs a step-by-step tutorial with a comprehensive reference to all of the classes and interfaces. For those new to Java technology, the book includes an introduction to the Java programming language and to SQL. It builds on this basic knowledge to walk you through creating a JDBC application-from setting up a database and establishing a connection to retrieving values from result sets and using prepared statements. In addition, the authors provide many examples along the way that demonstrate how to execute common tasks. The book proceeds to more advanced topics, focusing on the new features of the JDBC 2. 0 API, including scrollable and updatable result sets, batch updates, SQL3 data types, custom mapping, and more. You will also find an introduction to working with the JDBC metadata API as well as information on rowsets, the technology that makes it possible to handle data sets from virtually any data source as JavaBeans(tm) components. From array to XADataSource, a useful alphabetical reference provides concise but complete information on each class and interface in the JDBC API. Each entry includes an overview as well as a list and explanation of the methods and fields. A chapter on mapping SQL types and types in the Java programming language, a summary of the new JDBC 2. 0 features, and a glossary complete this indispensable resource for all database programmers.

Review Formal Correctness of Security Protocols (Information Security and Cryptography) / Springer:Computer network security is critical to fraud prevention and accountability. Network participants are required to observe predefined steps called security protocols, whose proof of correctness is evidence that each protocol step preserves some desired properties. The author investigates proofs of correctness of realistic security protocols in a formal, intuitive setting. The protocols examined include Kerberos versions, smartcard protocols, non-repudiation protocols, and certified email protocols. The method of analysis, the Inductive Method in the theorem prover Isabelle, turns out to be both powerful and flexible. This research advances significant extensions to the method of analysis, while the findings on the protocols analysed are novel and illuminating. This book will benefit researchers and graduate students in the fields of formal methods, information security, inductive methods, and networking.

Review Fast Track to MDX / Springer:OLAP (On-Line Analytical Processing) is the most powerful business intelligence tool currently available and Microsoft's Analysis Manager makes OLAP cubes incredibly easy to build and deploy. However, the real power of OLAP lies in its ability to help you solve real-life business problems; to release that power you need to use the language that controls the cubes and allows them to be queried. That language is MDX (Multi Dimensional eXpressions). Fast Track to MDX gives you all the necessary background to let you write useful, powerful MDX expressions and introduces the most frequently used MDX functions and constructs. No prior knowledge is assumed and examples are used throughout the book to rapidly develop your MDX skills to the point where you can solve real business problems. Mark Whitehorn, co-author of the best-selling "Inside Relational Databases", is renowned for his enthusiasm towards data handling and for the lucidity of his writing. Robert Zare is a program manager for Analysis Services at Microsoft: his inspiring talks on MDX sowed the seeds from which this book grew. Mosha Pasumansky was one of the authors of the OLEDB for OLAP specification that defined the MDX language and later he was the developer in charge of the first implementation of MDX in the Microsoft OLAP Services 7. 0 product. He is currently the development lead of the Analysis Services engine team. [+]A CD-ROM containing examples from within the book, and a time-limited version of ProClarity, is included.

Review MySQL 5 for Professionals (Book/CD-Rom) / Shroff Publishers and Distributors Pvt. Ltd.:This book has been written to provide an excellent grounding for those who wish to learn ANSI SQL using MySQL 5. This book has several illustrative examples which have logical links between them. Each set of examples help in building skills that will take the reader to the next set of examples, which in turn lead upwards until a strong programming foundation using the natural language of MySQL has been established. Learning of SQL is done through the construction of a Sales Management System. The skills thus developed are strongly firmed up via hands-on exercises based on the construction of a Human Resource Management System. Additionally, exclusive significance is given to new features supported by MySQL 5 such as Stored Procedures, Transactions, Cursors, Views, Sub-queries and so on. A special section covering data replication implementation using MySQL 5 is included.
