Review Mining Very Large Databases with Parallel Processing (Advances in Database Systems) / Springer:Mining Very Large Databases with Parallel Processing addresses the problem of large-scale data mining. It is an interdisciplinary text, describing advances in the integration of three computer science areas, namely `intelligent' (machine learning-based) data mining techniques, relational databases and parallel processing. The basic idea is to use concepts and techniques of the latter two areas - particularly parallel processing - to speed up and scale up data mining algorithms. The book is divided into three parts. The first part presents a comprehensive review of intelligent data mining techniques such as rule induction, instance-based learning, neural networks and genetic algorithms. Likewise, the second part presents a comprehensive review of parallel processing and parallel databases. Each of these parts includes an overview of commercially-available, state-of-the-art tools. The third part deals with the application of parallel processing to data mining. The emphasis is on finding generic, cost-effective solutions for realistic data volumes. Two parallel computational environments are discussed, the first excluding the use of commercial-strength DBMS, and the second using parallel DBMS servers. [+]It is assumed that the reader has a knowledge roughly equivalent to a first degree (BSc) in accurate sciences, so that (s)he is reasonably familiar with basic concepts of statistics and computer science. The primary audience for Mining Very Large Databases with Parallel Processing is industry data miners and practitioners in general, who would like to apply intelligent data mining techniques to large amounts of data. The book will also be of interest to academic researchers and postgraduate students, particularly database researchers, interested in advanced, intelligent database applications, and artificial intelligence researchers interested in industrial, real-world applications of machine learning.

Review Contingency Planning and Disaster Recovery: Protecting Your Organization's Resources / Computer Technology Research Corporation:As organizations implement a greater number of mission-critical applications over distributed networks, they become more vulnerable to potential disasters. CTR's 229-page report explores guidelines for developing successful contingency and disaster recovery strategies that will protect company resources and minimize downtime. Disaster Recovery: An Overview In today's distributed computing environments, organizations are more vulnerable than ever to the possibility of technical difficulties impeding communications. Any disaster, from floods and fires to Internet viruses and espionage, can affect the availability, integrity, and confidentiality of critical business resources and leave an organization virtually inoperative. CTR's new report, Contingency Planning and Disaster Recovery: Protecting Your Organization's Resources, explores the computer-related risks facing organizations today and offers the latest in disaster recovery strategies, technologies, and tested contingency plans. Disaster Recovery Issues and Concerns Disaster recovery has taken on a new sense of urgency in recent years due to the expanding role of computers in the organization and the increasing occurrence of various types of disasters. CTR's new report covers critical disaster recovery issues, including the following: hot, warm, and cold sites; dual data centers; disaster insurance; business impact analyses; and legal liabilities. The report addresses the most current concerns regarding the security and protection of local area networks (LANs), the mainframe, and client/server (C/S) systems. The report also includes a discussion of the available backup options and reviews tape management, direct access storage device (DASD) management, new backup paradigms, scalability and administration methods. Internet Security Issues Contingency Planning and Disaster Recovery: Protecting Your Organization's Resources provides an in-depth examination of Internet and Web security issues. [+]Understanding the risks of connecting to the Internet and learning how to minimize those risks is imperative to building a secure environment which enables information systems (IS) managers to use this technology. The security risks of an Internet connection include the following: Internet protocol (IP) spoofing, session hijacking, password theft, denial of service attacks, and viruses. The report also addresses Web security issues and offers valuable guidelines and a list of resources to help ensure the security of electronic transmissions. Developing, Testing, and Implementing a Contingency Plan Contingency Planning and Disaster Recovery: Protecting Your Organization's Resources outlines practical disaster recovery goals and explains how to best meet these goals through a step-by-step plan. The report includes a discussion of who should be involved in the planning and why it is essential to identify and prioritize critical business applications and information. Testing the disaster recovery plan and the benefits of feedback, "mock" tests, creative testing, and testing tools, are also covered in the report. As the computing environment becomes more complex, and as computing becomes more distributed, IS managers must take preventive, precautionary, and preparatory measures to avoid a complete shutdown, should a disaster occur. This new CTR report is a valuable resource for IS managers responsible for these tasks.

Review Digital Youth: Emerging Literacies on the World Wide Web (New Dimensions in Computers and Composition) / Hampton Press:In this book the author argues that many youth are using the Web to experiment with and deploy a number of surprising rhetorical strategies that tell us much about their vision for the new communications technologies and the emerging literacy practices they are using to engage that technology. Such literacy practices foreshadow potential changes in rhetorical and literacy practices. It offers a complex and telling portrait of the future use of communications technologies, particularly the Web, and the kinds of literacies that some youth are developing with those technologies.

Review Text Encoding Initiative: Background and Context / Springer:The Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) Guidelines for Electronic Text Encoding and Interchange are the result of over six years' work by dozens of scholars from all over the world. As such, they represent a pioneer effort in an area where only occasional and isolated attempts were made before. They will certainly serve as the primary basis for encoding texts in electronic form for the foreseeable future. The work of participants in the TEI not only involved consideration of problems of text encoding that are likely to be with us for decades to come, but also required the development of a methodology - from scratch - for approaching these problems. These pioneering efforts, while likely to be refined and extended, must not be lost: they provide the intellectual basis upon which text encoding practices will build in the future. This collection therefore documents the course of these efforts. `The TEI Guidelines are extraordinary. Even if they were never adopted they would stand as a significant contribution to scholarship for their detailed analysis of the information sets of a huge range of complex text types. ' From the Preface by Charles E. Goldfarb, inventor of the Standard Generalized Markup Language.

Review Fractal Image Compression: Theory and Application / Springer:This book presents the theory and application of new methods of image compression based on self-transformations of an image. These methods lead to a representation of an image as a fractal, an object with detail at all scales. Very practical and completely up-to-date, this book will serve as a useful reference for those working in image processing and encoding and as a great introduction for those unfamiliar with fractals. The book begins with an elementary introduction to the concept of fractal image compression and contains a rigorous description of all the relevant mathemtics of the subjects.
