Review Functional Implementation of Lenient Programming Languages (Research Monographs in Parallel & Distributed Computing) / Financial Times Prentice Hall:Modern "non-strict" functional programming languages are a powerful means of programming highly parallel computers, but are intrinsically difficult to compile well because decisions about ordering of subcomputations must be taken at compile time. This book represents a new technique for compiling such languages by partitioning a program into sequential threads. While the interleaving of threads can vary at run time, within each thread the order is fixed. A program is compiled by analyzing its data dependences, and developing from that a set of partitioning constraints. These practical algorithms are founded on a new theory of data dependence and ordering within functional programs, which defines dependence graphs in terms of a rewrite-rule operational semantics for the language. By attacking the ordering problem directly, the book departs from previous approaches that obtain partitioning as a byproduct of optimizing lazy evaluation, and cleanly separates partitioning from other code generation issues. Furthermore, the method is flexible enough to produce both lazy code and also a less restrictive "lenient" variant which allows larger threads with only a slight decrease in expressive power. Code generation and optimization are explored in depth for both uniprocessor and multiprocessor targets. Kenneth R. Traub is a researcher with the Motorola Cambridge Research Center. [+]Contents: Introduction. Background - Functional Language Compilers. Lenient Evaluation. Functional Quads. Code Generation. A Syntactic Theory of Data Dependence. Dependence-Based Partitioning. Conclusion.

Review SAP R/3 Quality Management: Making it work for your business (SAP Press Business Roadmap) / Addison-Wesley Professional:Much more than simply a guide and reference to the SAP R/3 Quality Management (QM) module, this book introduces R/3 and the principles of quality management systems alongside each other. Before getting inside the module itself, the authors describe the relevant QM business processes and the position of quality management at the heart of the logistics chain. With the advantage of this overall perspective, users will be better able to adapt the module, and the R/3 system, to their individual requirements. Using a multitude of illustrated examples, the authors detail the functions of the QM module and enable the reader to identify the most effective solution for their organization.

Review Microsoft Versus Netscape: The Battle for the Internet Infrastructure / Computer Technology Research Corporation:CTR's new 200-page report details the battle between Microsoft and Netscape for dominance of the Internet and, therefore, of the computer industry. The report examines how this battle developed, the differences in their product lines, and each company's strategic plans for the future. The Internet Phenomenon The unprecedented growth of the Internet and the Web has left the computer industry without a clear leader. While Microsoft was continuing its dominance of the PC market, Netscape Communications Corp. quietly entered the browser arena with its Web browser, Netscape Navigator. Microsoft, the company that initially failed to realize the importance of the Internet, has found Netscape to be a significant competitor in this critical area. CTR's new report, Microsoft Versus Netscape: The Battle for the Internet Infrastructure, examines the struggle between Microsoft and Netscape to become the leader of the Internet market and, therefore, of the computer industry. The report provides an analysis of the two companies and explains what Netscape must do to remain a viable competitor in the Internet arena. Internet Strategies CTR's report evaluates the strategies of both Microsoft and Netscape. Netscape's strategy is simple: Shift the current computing paradigm from the PC desktop, where Microsoft is strong, to the network, where Microsoft has less control. [+]As the report explains, the key to Netscape's success will be to take advantage of Microsoft's few weaknesses. Microsoft, the most influential software supplier in the world, has based its strategy on the dominance of the Windows operating system (OS). However, because networking and the Internet are becoming the focal point for application development, Microsoft has altered its strategy to include products designed to leverage its desktop dominance with the Internet. Dueling Internet Products Microsoft Versus Netscape: The Battle for the Internet Infrastructure provides a complete analysis of the Internet-related products of the two companies, focusing on the browsers: Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Netscape's Navigator. Other featured products include: Netscape's SuiteSpot Server Line, Microsoft's Internet Information Server (IIS) and Proxy Server, Microsoft's Directory Service Systems, Netscape Navigator's Administration Kit, and Microsoft's Internet Chat. The report examines the advantages and disadvantages of each company's products and explains how they fit into the overall company strategy. In addition, the report covers critical issues such as browser security and hypertext markup language (HTML) support. The Changing Computing Environment The Internet is becoming the core foundation for many companies' applications because the programming model is simpler to implement and maintain than client/server (C/S) computing. Microsoft and Netscape must develop product lines so users and third parties will rely on their products to run complex, daily business applications on the Internet. The report discusses the latest application development tools (ADTs) that will make the Internet transition possible and addresses the importance of delivering next-generation technology. CTR's Microsoft Versus Netscape: The Battle for the Internet Infrastructure is an invaluable resource for those responsible for shaping and maintaining their company's computer infrastructure.
