Review Smart Mobs: The Next Social Revolution / Topeka Bindery:

From Tokyo to Helsinki, Manhattan to Manila, Howard Rheingold takes us on a journey around the world for a preview of the next techno-cultural shift-a shift he predicts will be as dramatic as the widespread adoption of the PC in the 1980s and the Internet in the 1990s. The coming wave, says Rheingold, is the result of super-efficient mobile communications-cellular phones, personal digital assistants, and wireless-paging and Internet-access devices that will allow us to connect with anyone, anywhere, anytime. From the amusing ("Lovegetty" devices in Japan that light up when a person with the right date-potential characteristics appears in the vicinity) to the extraordinary (the overthrow of a repressive regime in the Philippines by political activists who mobilized by forwarding text messages via cell phones), Rheingold gives examples of the fundamentally new ways in which people are already engaging in group or collective action. He also considers the dark side of this phenomenon, such as the coordination of terrorist cells, threats to privacy, and the ability to incite violent behavior. Applying insights from sociology, artificial intelligence, engineering, and anthropology, Rheingold offers a penetrating perspective on the brave new convergence of pop culture, cutting-edge technology, and social activism. At the same time, he reminds us that, as with other technological revolutions, the real impact of mobile communications will come not from the technology itself but from how people use it, resist it, adapt to it, and ultimately use it to transform themselves, their communities, and their institutions.

Review Dynamic Implementation of Sap R/3 / Addison-Wesley Pub (Sd):

The implementation or upgrading of an SAP R/3 system is a complex and highly sophisticated process, in the course of which a number of challenges will inevitably be faced. Drawing on their extensive experience as SAP consultants, Marcus Geiss and Roland Soltysiak present a new dynamic implementation method which has been tested and proven to avoid the common pitfalls associated with the standard SAP procedural model. Over 16,000 SAP R/3 projects have been completed worldwide to date and the companies involved have had to overcome a considerable range of problems common to many large-scale software development or implementation projects: time delays, inflexible planning, non-fulfilment of requirements, dependency on external consulting firms and other associated hazards. Following the principles of the Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM), the authors explain how to overcome these problems via a requirements-based approach and a new procedural model which their experience has shown to be versatile, collaborative and, above all, highly effective. The book takes a step-by-step look at this model, detailing the specific activities which should be initiated at each phase and showing how best to execute them. It explains how the model works in an iterative and incremental way, building on essential cooperation between IT departments and user areas. Central to the whole cycle is the close attention to quality management and efficient use of the Computer Aided Test Tool (CATT) on individual modules and processes, thereby supporting integration and promoting reliability. The second half of the book consists of an in-depth real-world case study demonstrating the DSDM-based procedure model in practice. This section of the book can be studied with or without reference to the earlier theoretical material, depending on the reader's needs and interests. An invaluable guide for any professional working on the implementation or upgrading of an R/3 system, Dynamic Implementation of SAP R/3 should also be read by IT managers, business leaders and SAP consultants involved in such a project. [+]
Benefits of this book: SAP R/3 can be implemented according to a company's actual requirements Evolving requirements can be incorporated more smoothly SAP R/3 will be operational and profitable more quickly Training and consulting expenses are reduced SAP know-how remains within the company Maintenance time is cut Overall implementation costs are cut dramatically. About the authors: Marcus Geiss works on R/3 logistics and APO projects for Mummert + Partner in Europe. Dr Roland Soltysiak is an information manager with Henkel KGaA in Germany and part-time lecturer in software quality management and SAP at Duisburg University. Together, they are the original developers of the dynamic implementation model described in the book.

Review Search Engine Technologies for the World Wide Web and Intranets / Computer Technology Research Corporation:

Rapid growth of the Internet and intranets has created access to a large quantity of information. This new 237-page CTR report discusses the information retrieval technology tools currently available and planned for the future, examines how the different categories of search engines work, and evaluates specific products and services. Search Engines Explained The rapid growth of Internet resources has led to an overwhelming amount of available information. According to some statistics, this information will nearly double every year. As the amount of information continues to grow, so does the complexity of finding and retrieving it. CTR's new Search Engine Technologies for the World Wide Web and Intranets report offers an in-depth analysis of various types of search engine technologies that are used to navigate and retrieve documents from networked resources and databases. The report describes the concepts behind information retrieval and the software tools used to develop search engines for the Internet, intranets, extranets, and the Web. Information Retrieval Issues Attempting to track specific information or data on the Internet often ends in frustration. Valuable time is wasted browsing through hundreds or thousands of Web sites. Search Engine Technologies for the World Wide Web and Intranets offers a step-by-step guide to developing an effective search strategy. [+]
This strategy will help save time by minimizing unproductive browsing. The report discusses other information retrieval issues, such as selecting the most appropriate search engine, maintaining a secure intranet, and sending out crawlers, spiders, and robots to collect data, compile indexes, provide user interfaces, and operate search service businesses. Also included in the report is an extensive assessment of the leading text retrieval tool suppliers, such as ComQuest Software, Electric Book Technologies, Excalibur Technologies, Folio, Fulcrum Technologies, and Nexial Systems. Search Engine Products CTR's new report analyzes the various types of search engines on the market, which include: general search engines, general search directories, metasearch engines, and specialized search engines. The report examines the advantages and disadvantages of each search engine category and provides a detailed description of several leading products. The Future of Search Engine Technology The Search Engine Technologies for the World Wide Web and Intranets report explores the latest advances in search technology: intelligent search engines and multimedia search engines. Intelligent search engines incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) concepts, such as neural networks, case-based reasoning, natural language, and semantic networks. Multimedia search engines utilize images, sound, video, text, and graphics. The report explains how these emerging search engines work and what they will mean to the future of information retrieval.

Review Geologic Modeling and Simulation - Sedimentary Systems (COMPUTER APPLICATIONS IN THE EARTH SCIENCES (Computer Applications in the Earth Sciences) / Springer:

Modeling and simulation were introduced to the earth sciences about four decades ago. Modeling has proven its worth and now it is an accepted procedure for analyzing and solving geological problems. The papers in this collection are focused on modeling sediment deposition and sedimentary sequences and have a decidedly practical flavor. Some of the leading simulation packages, such as CORRELATOR, SEDFLUX, SEDpak, SEDSIM, STRATA, and STRATSIM are applied to problems in hydrocarbon exploration, oil production, groundwater development, coal-bed appraisal, geothermics, and environmental diagnosis. All of these subjects fall under the broad heading of sedimentary basin analysis. The fifteen papers in this volume are written by internationally recognized experts from academia and industry. The contributions represent the status of geologic modeling and simulation at the start of the 21st century, and will give the reader an insight into current research problems and their possible solutions.
