Mobile and Wireless Network Security and Privacy analyzes important
security and privacy problems in the realms of wireless networks
and mobile computing. The material includes a report to the
National Science Foundation of the United States which will be used
by program managers for the foundation in setting priorities for
research directions in this area. In the following chapters field
experts expand upon the report and provide further information
about important research directions in the fields of wireless
networks and mobile computing. The chapters are written by the
leading international researchers and professionals in thes fields.
Each chapter represents state-of-the-art research and includes
several influential contributions. A multitude of valuable
discussions on relevant concepts, such as the various approaches
that define emerging security and privacy in mobile and wireless
environment, are featured. The book is useful to researchers
working in the fields of mobile and wireless security and privacy
and to graduate students seeking new areas to perform research. It
also provides information for academics and industry people
researching recent trends and developments in the mobile and
wireless security fields.
The Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA), unleashed by the
integration of information technologies into weapons systems,
military units, and operations is a phenomenon whose impacts have
been felt well beyond the Gulf in 1991 or the Balkans in 1999.
Technological developments lie at the center of these changes;
however, the RMA is about more than technology. It includes the
consequences of technological changes for defense and security.
This study provides an assessment of the RMA that goes beyond a
mere description of new defense-related technologies to deal with
deeper, more fundamental issues.
Through the contributions of American, Canadian, Chinese, and
French experts, this book surveys the RMA from various perspectives
and evaluates it from the standpoints of military history and
military science. The authors conclude that, while the RMA
represents a significant challenge for defense establishments, it
may fall short of being truly revolutionary. Whether one looks at
power projection or information warfare, it appears that emerging
technologies will translate into significant improvements in
capabilities, but not necessarily a revolution in warfare. From a
comparative perspective, the United States remains well ahead in
thinking of and implementing changes that stem from the RMA,
although other nations may make selective use of the RMA to promote
regional security goals.

Several aspects of informatics curricula and teaching methods at
the university level are reported in this volume, including:
*Challenges in defining an international curriculum;
*The diversity in informatics curricula;
*Computing programs for scientists and engineers;
*Patterns of curriculum design;
*Student interaction;
*Teaching of programming;
*Peer review in education.
This book contains a selection of the papers presented at the
Working Conference on Informatics Curricula, Teaching Methods and
Best Practice (ICTEM 2002), which was sponsored by the
International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working
Group 3.2, and held in Florian polis, Brazil in July 2002.
The working groups were organized in three parallel tracks.
Working Group 1 discussed the "Directions and Challenges in
Informatics Education." The focus of Working Group 2 was "Teaching
Programming and Problem Solving." Working Group 3 discussed
"Computing: The Shape of an Evolving Discipline." Each working
group worked actively and prepared a report with the results of the
discussions; these reports are included as the second part of this
book.
It has been upon the shoulders of giants that the modern world has
been forged. This accessible compendium presents an insight into
the great minds responsible for the technology which has
transformed our lives. Each pioneer is introduced with a brief
biography, followed by a concise account of their key contributions
to their discipline. The selection covers a broad spread of
historical and contemporary figures from theoreticians to
entrepreneurs, highlighting the richness of the field of computing.
Suitable for the general reader, this concise and easy-to-read
reference will be of interest to anyone curious about the inspiring
men and women who have shaped the field of computer science.
Following on from the previously released NES Encyclopedia, the
SNES Encyclopedia is the ultimate resource for fans of Nintendo's
second home video game console, the Super Nintendo Entertainment
System. Containing detailed information on all 780 games released
for the SNES in the west, this enormous book is full of
screenshots, trivia and charmingly bad jokes. It also includes a
bonus section covering the entire 22-game library of the Virtual
Boy, Nintendo's ill-fated 3D system which was released at the end
of the SNES's life.
C++ 11 delivered strong support for multithreaded applications, and
the subsequent C++14 and 17 updates have built on this baseline.
C++ has better options for concurrency than ever before, which
means it's an incredibly powerful option for multicore and parallel
applications. This bestseller has been updated and revised to cover
all the latest changes to C++ 14 and 17! C++ Concurrency in Action,
Second Edition teaches readers everything they need to write robust
and elegant multithreaded applications in C++17. Along the way,
they’ll learn how to navigate the trickier bits of programming
for concurrency while avoiding the common pitfalls. KEY FEATURES
• Completely updated • Hands-on learning • In depth guide
Written for C++ programmers who are new to concurrency and others
who may have written multithreaded code using other languages,
APIs, or platforms. ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY Concurrency in terms of
computers is a single system performing multiple independent
activities in parallel, rather than sequentially, or one after the
other. AUTHOR BIO Anthony Williams is a UK-based developer and
consultant with many years' experience in C++. He has been an
active member of the BSI C++ Standards Panel since 2001, and is the
author or co-author of many of the C++ Standards Committee papers
that led up to the inclusion of the thread library in the C++11
Standard. He was the maintainer of the Boost Thread library, and is
the developer of the just::thread Pro extensions to the C++11
thread library from Just Software Solutions Ltd.
The book covers the most common and important approaches for the identification of nonlinear static and dynamic systems. Additionally, it provides the reader with the necessary background on optimization techniques making the book self-contained. The emphasis is put on modern methods based on neural networks and fuzzy systems without neglecting the classical approaches. The entire book is written from an engineering point-of-view, focusing on the intuitive understanding of the basic relationships. This is supported by many illustrative figures. Advanced mathematics is avoided. Thus, the book is suitable for last year undergraduate and graduate courses as well as research and development engineers in industries.

Research and development on optical wavelength-division
multiplexing (WDM) networks have matured considerably. While optics
and electronics should be used appropriately for transmission and
switching hardware, note that "intelligence'' in any network comes
from "software, '' for network control, management, signaling,
traffic engineering, network planning, etc.The role of software in
creating powerful network architectures for optical WDM networks is
emphasized.
Optical WDM Networks is a textbook for graduate level courses.
Its focus is on the networking aspects of optical networking, but
it also includes coverage of physical layers in optical networks.
The author introduces WDM and its enabling technologies and
discusses WDM local, access, metro, and long-haul network
architectures. Each chapter is self-contained, has problems at the
end of each chapter, and the material is organized for self study
as well as classroom use. The material is the most recent and
timely in capturing the state-of-the-art in the fast-moving field
of optical WDM networking.
