System administration is about the design, running and maintenance
of human-computer systems. Examples of human-computer systems
include business enterprises, service institutions and any
extensive machinery that is operated by, or interacts with human
beings. System administration is often thought of as the
technological side of a system: the architecture, construction and
optimization of the collaborating parts, but it also occasionally
touches on softer factors such as user assistance (help desks),
ethical considerations in deploying a system, and the larger
implications of its design for others who come into contact with
it.
This book summarizes the state of research and practice in this
emerging field of network and system administration, in an
anthology of chapters written by the top academics in the field.
The authors include members of the IST-EMANICS Network of
Excellence in Network Management.

INTELLECTUAL TECHNOLOGIES SET Coordinated by Jean-Max Noyer and
Maryse Carmes The dynamics of production, circulation and
dissemination of knowledge that are currently developing in the
digital ecosystem testify to a profound change in capitalism. On
the margins of the traditional duo of knowledge markets and
exclusive property rights, the emerging notion of cultural commons
is opening the door to new modes of production based on hybrid
market arrangements and an inclusive understanding of property.
This book studies the political economy of cultural commons in the
digital ecosystem, outlining the contexts and areas of thought in
which this concept has emerged and identifying the socio-economic,
technical and political issues associated with it. It also analyzes
the specific physical conditions that enable the implementation of
the economy of cultural commons in a specific digital ecosystem,
that of books, by studying the effects of digital libraries and
self-publishing platforms.

Secured Transactions: Problems and Materials combines original
material with recent cases to teach students about secured
financing under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Students
learn how to identify basic Article 9 issues and craft solutions
for them. The book begins with an explanation of secured versus
unsecured financing and addresses how transactions were handled
before the institution of Article 9. It then discusses specific
aspects of Article 9 including its scope, creating and protecting a
security interest, priorities, exceptions, fixtures, proceeds, and
enforcement. The book is built around a series of problems that
connect the cases and original material to the text of Article 9.
The original material clarifies and contextualizes the legal
issues, providing background and support. The cases demonstrate how
legal principles are applied in the real world, enabling students
to understand automatic perfection, certificates of title,
statutory liens, commercial reasonableness, and more. The revised
first edition features updated information regarding laws and
legislation, as well as new cases for the chapters on repossessing
fixtures and proceeds. Secured Transactions successfully balances
the study of law and its application. It is an ideal book for
foundational courses in secured transactions.

The book deals with the most recent technology of distributed
computing.
As Internet continues to grow and provide practical connectivity
between users of computers it has become possible to consider use
of computing resources which are far apart and connected by Wide
Area Networks.
Instead of using only local computing power it has become practical
to access computing resources widely distributed. In some cases
between different countries in other cases between different
continents.
This idea of using computer power is similar to the well known
electric power utility technology. Hence the name of this
distributed computing technology is the Grid Computing.
Initially grid computing was used by technologically advanced
scientific users.
They used grid computing to experiment with large scale problems
which required high performance computing facilities and
collaborative work.
In the next stage of development the grid computing technology has
become effective and economically attractive for large and medium
size commercial companies.
It is expected that eventually the grid computing style of
providing computing power will become universal reaching every user
in industry and business.
* Written by academic and industrial experts who have developed or
used grid computing
* Many proposed solutions have been tested in real life
applications
* Covers most essential and technically relevant issues in grid
computing
