Service-orientierte Architektur: Modewort oder ernstzunehmende Entwicklung? Dieses Buch mochte den Mythos entzaubern, indem es die grundlegenden Aspekte und Eigenschaften erlautert, die hinter SOA und Web Services stecken.

Service-orientierte Architekturen mit Web Services wurde unter Beachtung der Anforderungen von Architekten und Entwicklern geschrieben. Es bietet sowohl fur IT-Experten und Manager als auch fur Studenten eine fundierte Basis. Ziel ist es, bleibende Grundlagen zu vermitteln es handelt sich daher nicht um ein Programmierhandbuch. Mochten Sie jedoch besser verstehen, was eine Service-orientierte Architektur ausmacht, wird Ihnen dieses Buch wertvolle Dienste" leisten.

Zunachst werden grundlegende Architekturuberlegungen und organisatorische Rahmenbedingungen betrachtet. Basis fur die folgenden Teile ist eine abstrakte Darstellung einer SOA. Es folgt eine Umsetzung auf Basis von Web Services. Im zweiten Teil werden die wesentlichen Basistechniken der Web Services wie die plattformunabhangige Schnittstellenbeschreibung konkretisiert. Der produktive Einsatz von Web Services erfordert jedoch weitere Anforderungen. Themen wie Sicherheit, Performance, Prozesse, Semantik, Transaktionen und Quality of Service werden deshalb im dritten Teil behandelt.

Stimmen zum Buch:

Nach dem Lesen des Buches sollte der Leser gut gerustet sein, aktiv an den Diskussionen uber Service-Orientierung im Allgemeinen und Web Services im Besonderen teilnehmen zu konnen. Das Buch vermittelt den notwendigen Hintergrund, um bei Bedarf die einzelnen Standards im Detail besser zu verstehen und deren Relevanz fur einen gegebenen Problembereich besser einschatzen zu konnen." Prof. Dr. Frank Leymann, Institut fur Architektur von Anwendungssystemen, Stuttgart

"Service-Orientierung und Web Services sind langst gangige Praxis geworden. Ein klares und fundiertes Verstandnis der zugrundeliegenden Konzepte ist fur einen produktiven Einsatz allerdings Voraussetzung - diese vierte Auflage des Buches leistet genau diese Vermittlung in vorbildlicher Art und Weise." Prof. Dr.-Ing. Stefan Tai, Universitat Karlsruhe"

Sung Kyu Lim
R4,047 Discovery Miles 40 470 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This volume contains problems and solutions related to various well-known algorithms used in VLSI physical design automation. Dr. Lim believes that the best way to learn new algorithms is to walk through a small example by hand. This knowledge will greatly help understand, analyze, and improve some of the well-known algorithms. The author has designed and taught a graduate-level course on physical CAD for VLSI at Georgia Tech. Over the years he has written his homework with such a focus and has maintained typeset version of the solutions. It was then shared with other colleagues teaching physical CAD either as a sole theme or as a part of EDA (electronic design automation) class. Dr. Lim believes that physical design automation still remains as an exciting, highly rewarding field after its birth in the 1970s, and that students with motivation and skills are always in huge demand. His vision is to see the students realize that the learning curve is not so steep after all.

Ada Lovelace, the daughter of Lord Byron was born in 1815 just after the Battle of Waterloo, and died aged 36, soon after the Great Exhibition of 1851. She was connected with some of the most influential and colourful characters of the age: Charles Dickens, Michael Faraday, Charles Darwin and Charles Babbage. It was her work with Babbage that led to her being credited with the invention of computer programming and to her name being adopted for the programming language that controls the US military machine. Ada personified the seismic historical changes taking place over her lifetime. This was the era when fissures began to open up in culture: romance split away from reason, instinct from intellect, art from science. Ada came to embody these new polarities and her life heralded a new era: the machine age. Reissued to coincide with the bicentenary of Ada's birth, The Bride of Science is a fascinating examination of an extraordinary life offering devastating insight into the seemingly unbridgeable gulf between art and science, the consequences of which are still with us today.

R431 Discovery Miles 4 310 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Ditch the devices and bring back the magic of being a kid Screens are everywhere. Children spend an average of 7.5 hours on digital devices every day with profoundly negative consequences. While some tech may “amplify” real life experience (online music lessons or Zoom calls with faraway family, for example), the vast majority “amputates” by limiting physical activity, creating anxiety, or damaging self-esteem. Childhood Unplugged takes a bold approach to creating healthy boundaries around the use of digital media, suggesting kids should be offline for the majority of their time. Drawing on her own family’s experience, plus interviews with digital minimalists, educators, and child development experts, author Katherine Martinko presents: Meticulously researched analysis of the impacts of excessive screen time on children's physical, neurological, emotional, and social development Specific pathways to reduced screen exposure, naturally leading to more time spent outdoors, increased confidence and empathy, more creative and active play, and other benefits Inspiration for caregivers overwhelmed by the thought of severing ties with the digital babysitter Age-appropriate advice for fundamental change, with specific sections for babies and toddlers, school-aged children, and adolescents. Taking a calming, nonjudgmental approach, Childhood Unplugged is a lifeline for parents, caregivers, educators, and anyone who questions the role of digital media and yearns for the young people in their life to experience the profound beauty and magic of childhood.

A highly contentious, very readable and totally up-to-the-minute investigation of women's natural relationship with modern technology, an association which, Plant argues, will trigger a new sexual revolution. Zeros and Ones is an intelligent, provocative and accessible investigation of the intersection between women, feminism, machines and in particular, information technology. Arguing that the computer is rewriting the old conceptions of man and his world, it suggests that the telecoms revolution is also a sexual revolution which undermines the fundamental assumptions crucial to patriarchal culture. Historical, contemporary and future developments in telecommunications and in IT are interwoven with the past, present and future of feminism, women and sexual difference, and a wealth of connections, parallels and affinities between machines and women are uncovered as a result. Challenging the belief that man was ever in control of either his own agency, the planet, or his machines, this book argues it is seriously undermined by the new scientific paradigms emergent from theories of chaos, complexity and connectionism, all of which suggest that the old distinctions between man, woman, nature and technology need to be radically reassessed.

Physically Based Modeling and Animation goes behind the scenes of computer animation and details the mathematical and algorithmic foundations that are used to determine the behavior underlying the movement of virtual objects and materials. Dr. Donald House and Dr. John Keyser offer an approachable, hands-on view of the equations and programming that form the foundations of this field. They guide readers from the beginnings of modeling and simulation to more advanced techniques, enabling them to master what they need to know in order to understand and create their own animations Emphasizes the underlying concepts of the field, and is not tied to any particular software package, language, or API. Develops concepts in mathematics, physics, numerical methods, and software design in a highly integrated way, enhancing both motivation and understanding. Progressively develops the material over the book, starting from very basic techniques, and building on these to introduce topics of increasing complexity. Motivates the topics by tying the underlying physical and mathematical techniques directly to applications in computer animation.
