This book provides an overview of crowdsourced data management.
Covering all aspects including the workflow, algorithms and
research potential, it particularly focuses on the latest
techniques and recent advances. The authors identify three key
aspects in determining the performance of crowdsourced data
management: quality control, cost control and latency control. By
surveying and synthesizing a wide spectrum of studies on
crowdsourced data management, the book outlines important factors
that need to be considered to improve crowdsourced data management.
It also introduces a practical crowdsourced-database-system design
and presents a number of crowdsourced operators. Self-contained and
covering theory, algorithms, techniques and applications, it is a
valuable reference resource for researchers and students new to
crowdsourced data management with a basic knowledge of data
structures and databases.
Mathematics is as much a science of the real world as biology is.
It is the science of the world's quantitative aspects (such as
ratio) and structural or patterned aspects (such as symmetry). This
book develops a complete philosophy of mathematics that contrasts
with the usual Platonist and nominalist options.
Despite the significant ongoing work in the development of new
database systems, many of the basic architectural and performance
tradeoffs involved in their design have not previously been
explored in a systematic manner. The designers of the various
systems have adopted a wide range of strategies in areas such as
process structure, client-server interaction, concurrency control,
transaction management, and memory management. This monograph
investigates several fundamental aspects of the emerging generation
of database systems. It describes and investigates implementation
techniques to provide high performance and scalability while
maintaining the transaction semantics, reliability, and
availability associated with more traditional database
architectures. The common theme of the techniques developed here is
the exploitation of client resources through caching-based data
replication. Client Data Caching: A Foundation for High Performance
Object Database Systems should be a value to anyone interested in
the performance and architecture of distributed information systems
in general and Object-based Database Management Systems in
particular. It provides useful information for designers of such
systems, as well as for practitioners who need to understand the
inherent tradeoffs among the architectural alternatives in order to
evaluate existing systems. Furthermore, many of the issues
addressed in this book are relevant to other systems beyond the
ODBMS domain. Such systems include shared-disk parallel database
systems, distributed file systems, and distributed virtual memory
systems. The presentation is suitable for practitioners and
advanced students in all of these areas, although a basic
understanding of database transaction semantics and techniques is
assumed.
Michael J. Franklin's Romantic Representations of British India is
a timely study of the impact of Orientalist knowledge upon British
culture during the Romantic period. The subject of the book is not
so much India, but the British cultural understanding of India,
particularly between 1750 and 1850. Franklin opens up new areas of
investigation in Romantic-period culture, as those texts previously
located in the ghetto of 'Anglo-Indian writing' are restored to a
central place in the wider field of Romanticism. The essays within
this collection cover a wide range of topics and are written by an
impressive troupe of contributors including P.J. Marshall, Anne
Mellor, and Nigel Leask. Students and academics involved with
literary studies and history will find this book extremely useful,
though musicologists and historians of science and of religion will
also make good use of the book, as will those interested in
questions of gender, race, and colonialism.

This novel is a designedly political document. Written at the time
of the Hastings impeachment and set in the period of Hastings's
Orientalist government, Hartly House, Calcutta (1789) represents a
dramatic delineation of the Anglo-Indian encounter. The novel
constitutes a significant intervention in the contemporary debate
concerning the nature of Hastings's rule of India by demonstrating
that it was characterised by an atmosphere of intellectual sympathy
and racial tolerance. Within a few decades the Evangelical and
Anglicising lobbies frequently condemned Brahmans as devious
beneficiaries of a parasitic priestcraft, but Phebe Gibbes's
portrayal of Sophia's Brahman and the religion he espouses
represent a perception of India dignified by a sympathetic and
tolerant attempt to dispel prejudice. -- .
First modern study devoted to one of the twelfth-century's most
enigmatic, influential and fascinating figures. Henry of Blois (d.
1171) was a towering figure in twelfth-century England. Grandson of
William the Conqueror and brother to King Stephen, he played a
central role in shaping the course of the civil war that
characterized his brother's reign. Bishop of Winchester and abbot
of Glastonbury for more than four decades, Henry was one of the
richest men in the kingdom, and effectively governed the English
Church for a time as Papal Legate. Raised and tonsured at Cluny, he
was an intimate friend of Peter the Venerable and later saved the
great abbey from financial ruin. Towards the end of his life he
presided, albeit reluctantly, over the trial of Thomas Becket.
Henry was a remarkable man: an administrator of exceptional talent,
a formidable ecclesiastical statesman, a bold and eloquent
diplomat, and twelfth-century England's most prolific patron of the
arts. In the first major book-length study of Henry to be published
since 1932, nine scholars explore new perspectives on the most
crucial aspects of his life and legacy. By bringing ecclesiastical
and documentary historians together with archaeologists and
historians of art, architecture, literature and ideas, this
interdisciplinary collection will serve as a catalyst for renewed
study of this fascinating man and the world in which he operated.
