Review Memories That Shaped an Industry: Decisions Leading to IBM System/360 (History of Computing) / MIT Press:Development of ferrite core memory technology during the 1950s was probably the most important innovation that made stored-program computers a commercial reality. IBM's leadership in this development made possible the introduction in 1964 of the IBM System/360, which was so widely copied that it became a standard for electronic stored-program computers that have become so much a part of American life. This book provides a rare and candid glimpse into the innovations as well as the immense risks and imprecisions sometimes involved in technical decision making. It identifies the basic characteristics of technology management that the author believes accounted for IBM's success during this period, and gives a balanced view of the contributions by talented scientists and engineers both within and outside the company. The book chronicles a twenty-five-year period during which IBM evolved from the position of leading supplier of electromechanical punched-card equipment to dominance in the field of electronic computers. It describes IBM's response to the postwar challenge of electronics, its highly successful cooperative effort with MIT on an automated air defense system, the introduction of commercial ferrite core memories, developments and decisions leading to System/360, and the manufacturing problems posed by System/360's success. An internationally recognized leader in magnetics and computer memory technologies, Emerson W. Pugh is a member of the research staff at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights and author of the widely used text, Principles of Electricity and Magnetism. This book is included in The MIT Press Series in the History of Computing, edited by I. [+]Bernard Cohen and William Asprey.

Review Performance and QoS of Next Generation Networking: Proceedings of the International Conference on the Performance and QoS of Next Generation Networking, P&QNet 2000. Nagoya, Japan, November 2000 / Springer:The rapid advancement of key communication technologies such as, optical and radio transmission, coding schemes, and switching mechanisms, has meant that communication networks are growing both in scale and speed. The next generation of communication networks will also have an increased usage, as Internet and real time applications are expected to share a significant proportion of the bandwidth. In order to achieve QoS (Quality of Service) and seamless guaranteed transmission whatever the source characteristic, further research into network technologies is essential. This book covers the latest research results presented at P&QNET2000. Topics covered include many aspects of theory, simulation, and implementation related to future developments in the fields of the Internet, mobile computing and communication, performance evaluation methodology, network management and IP applications.

Review Multimedia Database Management Systems (The Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science) / Springer:Multimedia Database Management Systems presents the issues and the techniques used in building multimedia database management systems. Chapter 1 provides an overview of multimedia databases and underlines the new requirements for these applications. Chapter 2 discusses the techniques used for storing and retrieving multimedia objects. Chapter 3 presents the techniques used for generating metadata for various media objects. Chapter 4 examines the mechanisms used for storing the index information needed for accessing different media objects. Chapter 5 analyzes the approaches for modeling media objects, both their temporal and spatial characteristics. Object-oriented approach, with some additional features, has been widely used to model multimedia information. The book discusses two systems that use object-oriented models: OVID (Object Video Information Database) and Jasmine. The models for representing temporal and spatial requirements of media objects are then studied. The book also describes authoring techniques used for specifying temporal and spatial characteristics of multimedia databases. [+]Chapter 6 explains different types of multimedia queries, the methodologies for processing them and the language features for describing them. The features offered by query languages such as SQL/MM (Structured Query Language for Multimedia), PICQUERY+, and Video SQL are also studied. Chapter 7 deals with the communication requirements for multimedia databases. A client accessing multimedia data over computer networks needs to identify a schedule for retrieving various media objects composing the database. The book identifies possible ways for generating a retrieval schedule. Chapter 8 ties together the techniques discussed in the previous chapters by providing a simple architecture of a distributed multimedia database management system. Multimedia Database Management Systems can be used as a text for graduate students and researchers working in the area of multimedia databases. In addition, the book serves as essential reading material for computer professionals who are in (or moving to) the area of multimedia databases.

Review Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS) Program Case Study (Documented briefing) / RAND Corporation:The case study highlights the promises, pitfalls, and programmatic complexities of a cooperative initiative to achieve datalink interoperability among coalition forces at several levels. The Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS) program-a U. S. -led international development program of Link 16 data communications terminals-is likely to present challenges to the U. S. Air Force and the MIDS International Program Officeas it moves into the production phase. MIDS is important to the interoperability of NATO and allied air forces in future military operations, and its case study shows the advantages and disadvantages that can arise in coalition development. Disadvantages include potentiallonger schedules and greater costs than comparable U. S-only programs. Advantages include the transfer of technology and joint manufacturing agreements that lead to interoperable data communications and associated operational benefits. [+]Whereas MIDS holds significant promise for the Air Force, it also possesses programmatic risks for both the F-16 and F-15upgrade programs because of the linkage to avionics upgrade programs. If the MIDS program can be managed effectively in the production phase and MIDS platform integration issues are addressed, Air Force Navy, Army, and allied participation in the MIDS program will substantially enhance the interoperability of U. S. and NATO forces.
