Review The JR Programming Language: Concurrent Programming in an Extended Java / Springer:(This book is available at a reduced price for course adoption when ordering six copies or more. Please contact ulysses. guasch@springer-sbm. com for more information. ) JR is a language for concurrent programming. It is an imperative language that provides explicit mechanisms for concurrency, communication, and synchronization. JR is an extension of the Java programming language with additional concurrency mechanisms based on those in the SR (Synchronizing Resources) programming language. It is suitable for writing programs for both shared- and distributed-memory applications and machines. The JR implementation executes on UNIX-based systems (Linux, Mac OS X, and Solaris) and Windows-based systems. It is available free from the JR webpage. [+]The JR Programming Language: Concurrent Programming in an Extended Java, an advanced-level text book, describes the JR programming language and illustrates how it can be used to write concurrent programs for a variety of applications. This text presents numerous small and large example programs. The source code for all programming examples and the given parts of all programming exercises are available on the JR webpage. Dr. Ronald A. Olsson and Dr. Aaron W. Keen, the authors of this text, are the designers and implementors of JR. The JR Programming Language: Concurrent Programming in an Extended Java is designed for upper-level undergraduate and graduate-level students in computer science.

Review Computing with Social Trust (Human-Computer Interaction Series) / Springer:'Trust' is used in a variety of ways in computing literature, and social trust is emerging as an important computational problem. In open, distributed systems, like the web, people and organizations can be anonymous and trust and reputation become important. Researchers from many subfields of computer science have produced results in this space, with applications such as security, recommender systems, and knowledge management. However, this wide interest also means that research is published in diverse venues, and thus results published in one area can go unnoticed by researchers in a different area. For scientists beginning to work in the area, discovering the relevant literature and developing a comprehensive understanding of the state of the art is difficult for similar reasons. The goal of this book is to bring together a collection of important work in computing social trust from computer science and related disciplines, and give readers a full view of the subject. It will be divided into three major sections. The first will address theory, behaviour, and trust management. This will cover social analyses of how people develop trust, the dynamics of trust relationships, and systems for trust management. The second section will describe algorithms and methods for computing trust in social contexts. [+]Social networks, profile similarity, and participation in online communities are all potential sources from which trust can be computed. The final section will contain applications that use trust, such as recommender systems, website access control, and email filtering.

Review Information Control Problems in Manufacturing 2001, First Edition (IFAC Proceedings Volumes) / Pergamon:Information Control Problems in Manufacturing 2001 is a proceedings volume from the 10th IFAC Symposium held in Vienna, Austria from 20-22 September 2001. The purpose of this Symposium was to highlight international research and developments on advanced information technologies used to integrate manufacturing systems, with reference to the product system, the technical system, the human system and relationships. Particular objectives of the Symposium were to consider industrial engineering in general, and to federate the different concepts, theories, methodologies, methods, models, languages and tools - usually separately applied to process systems, discrete object systems and intelligent manufacturing systems. Contributions cover the whole field of information techniques applied to manufacturing processes starting with the classical subjects - computer integrated manufacturing; flexible manufacturing systems; human machine interfaces - to more advanced topics like intelligent manufacturing systems and equipment, information technology for integration in manufacturing and multi-agent systems. The volume covers many necessary topics for an efficient application of information techniques in manufacturing automation. There are also contributions on related topics like logistics for manufacturing systems, emerging technologies for advanced manufacturing and more business oriented topics like technical management for enterprise business integration and production integrated systems engineering.

Review Adoption-centric Usability Engineering: Systematic Deployment, Assessment and Improvement of Usability Methods in Software Engineering / Springer:Where should usability techniques and HCD knowledge be considered in the existing software development lifecycle to maximize benefits gained from SE and HCD approaches? This book provides an integrative answer while proposing a systematic approach for the adoption, assessment and deployment of usability engineering methods within software development teams. The proposed approach, called adoption-centric usability engineering (ACUE), provides a process to capture usability engineering methods together with a context profile. The context profile encodes human factors that contributed to acceptance or rejection of usability methods in past projects. This context-sensitive description of usability engineering is called a USEPack (Usability Engineering Experience Package). Written for software developers, managers, educators and graduates from Academia and Industry, this book provides a complete, step-by-step approach for cost-effective integration of usability engineering methods in the software development lifecycle.

Review InsideScoop to A+ (OS) Operating System Technology Exam 220-222 (With BFQ CD-ROM Exam) (InsideScoop) / TotalRecall Publications Inc:Part of the TotalRecall: IT Certification System Series, this new book fills the gap existing in the complete study aid material available for candidates preparing to sit the CompTIA A+ (OS) Operating System Exam. This book covers information associated with each exam topic in detail and includes information found in no other book. This manual is designed to provide information to help readers study for and pass CompTIA’s A+ Operating System Technology Certification Exam. Every effort has been made to make this manual as complete and accurate as possible. Just reviewing the table of contents, you will see that through TotalRecallPress, I was given the freedom to build on what I have learned from running a Voc Tech school. For example, the chapter numbers are written in Base 2. This wasn’t done to annoy you. The goal is through reinforcement, learn binary math, since that is how much of computing works. In this release, I teamed up with another alpha geek, and all around "I want all the data" person, Tcat Houser. The end result is you will not find another A+ Operating System Technology book with more geekie details, if you need them. [+]While we have kept the tone as light as possible, a great deal of serious research has been done to demystify obscure details with in this publication. If you are already in networking, and don’t want/need a certification/reference/killer idea book, try the ExamWise For A+ Operating System ISBN # 1-59095-262-6 from TotalRecallPress. If you are in the game for in-depth understanding, this is this book for you. Helen and Tcat encourage questions from and support the readers of this work. To us, it is another form of Networking, and we look forward to hearing from you.
