Review Managing Computer Viruses / Oxford University Press, USA:The emergence of a new type of threat to computer security-the computer virus-has attracted much attention from the media, researchers, and software producers. Such viruses create sets of frequently destructive instructions that propagate automatically throughout entire computer networks. The effects can range from temporary disruption to wholesale havoc involving huge losses of data. The problem has been exacerbated more recently by a deluge of superficial media comment that has sensationalized the topic while offering little in the way of concrete facts or knowledgeable guidance. This book is intended to help managers of today's complex information systems respond to the genuine threat posed by computer viruses in an informed and efficient manner. It presents a concise overview of the problem and a detailed strategy for minimizing the potential risk. It provides a nontechnical explanation of computer viruses based on a conceptual framework adaptable to the constant emergence of new kinds of viruses and their antidotes. The book suggests practical management approaches that are workable within large-scale, integrated systems including those with ongoing security and control devices. There are a number of useful technical appendices, however the book is written to be read and used by those who may not have a technical background, including information systems managers, security consultants, and teachers and advanced students of management interested in information systems.

Review Computer Simulation of Biomolecular Systems: Theoretical and Experimental Applications Volume 3 (Computer Simulations of Biomolecular Systems) / Springer:This book is the third volume in this highly successful series. Since the first volume in 1989 and the second in 1993, many exciting developments have occurred in the development of simulation techniques and their application to key biological problems such as protein folding, protein structure prediction and structure-based design, and in how, by combining experimental and theoretical approaches, very large biological systems can be studied at the molecular level. This series attempts to capture that progress. Volume 3 includes contributions that highlight developments in methodology which enable longer and more realistic simulations (e. g. multiple time steps and variable reduction techniques), a study of force fields for proteins and new force field development, a novel approach to the description of molecular shape and the use of molecular shape descriptors, the study of condensed phase chemical reactions, the use of electrostatic techniques in the study of protonation, equilibria and flexible docking studies, structure refinement using experimental data (X-ray, NMR, neutron, infrared) and theoretical methods (solvation models, normal mode analysis, MD simulations, MC lattice dynamics, and knowledge-based potentials). There are several chapters that show progress in the development of methodologies for the study of folding processes, binding affinities, and the prediction of ligand-protein complexes. The chapters, contributed by experienced researchers, many of whom are leaders in their field of study, are organised to cover developments in: + simulation methodology + the treatment of electrostatics + protein structure refinement + the combined experimental and theoretical approaches to the study of very large biological systems + applications and methodology involved in the study of protein folding + applications and methodology associated with structure-based design.

Review Call Center Continuity Planning / Auerbach Publications:A disruption in your call center operation can conceivably cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars. And multiple disruptions can cost in the millions. Call Center Continuity Planning shows you how to plan for - and avoid - service interruptions through disasters large and small. This book will show you how to deal with everything from power outages to major hurricanes. Should you use external Call Volume Management (CVM) solutions such as pre-established procedures for disaster call routing? Or, should you use internal solutions such as planning for a company cold site, virtual call center, or use of the excess capacity of your other call center during emergency? What about managing call volumes to cope with non-emergency seasonal or time of day peaks? Can you use your call centers minimum daily overflow of calls as a benefit rather than a problem? What is involved in contracting to outsource call handling to another call center in terms of effectiveness, expertise, technology, and human resources - and what advanced call processing techniques are available? Call Center Continuity Planning answers all these questions and more. It also provides detailed information on the concept of CVM, that treats the volume of calls as a fluid, that can be channeled from one place to another via computer-managed switching. Your Call Volume Management system acts like a series of aqueducts to manage the floodwaters of incoming calls before your call-takers are swept away.
