An EATCS Series) Fokkink W.,  Springer-Verlag New York, Inc., Secaucus, NJ, 2007. 156 pp. Type: Book The application of distributed systems is ubiquitous in almost every facet of today’s computerized life. Systems with various architecture configurations, including peer-to-peer (P2P), multi-tier (n-tier), and... Nov 30 2008 Identifying biologically relevant genes via multiple heterogeneous data sources Zhao Z., Wang J., Liu H., Ye J., Chang Y.  Knowledge discovery and data mining (Proceeding of the 14th ACM SIGKDD International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining, Las Vegas, Nevada,  Aug 24-27, 2008) 839-847, 2008. Type: Proceedings It is an exciting time in the biomedical sciences, given the availability of cutting-edge technology for measuring information about every gene in the human genome. Some of the computational challenges of identifying which of the many genes are... Nov 24 2008 Wireless ad hoc and sensor networks Labiod H.,  John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, NY, 2008. 352 pp. Type: Book, Reviews: (1 of 2) Ad hoc networks have been long on scientific research but short on practical applications. Stéphane Ubéda, one contributor of the book, attributes this paradox to the fact that ad hoc networks have a hard time “breaking through in ... Nov 9 2008 The matrix eigenvalue problem: GR and Krylov subspace methods Watkins D.,  Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, Philadelphia, PA, 2007. 452 pp. Type: Book Many numerical problems can be restated in matrix form, often simplifying not only the mathematical documentation, but also the solution implementation. Yet, this is one area that appears to be underutilized in practice. I don’t know the... Nov 16 2008 Real root isolation for exp-log functions Strzebonski A.  Symbolic and algebraic computation (Proceedings of the Twenty-first International Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation, Linz/Hagenberg, Austria,  Jul 20-23, 2008) 303-314, 2008. Type: Proceedings Exp-log functions f are, roughly speaking, built up from polynomials by algebraic operations, exponentiation, and taking logarithms; therefore, they include reciprocals and radicals. This paper is concerned with roots: points... Oct 19 2008 Beginning Ubuntu Linux: from novice to professional (3rd ed.) Thomas K., Sicam J.,  Apress, Berkeley, CA, 2008. 768 pp. Type: Book Here is a great reference for Linux newcomers. It starts with Linux history and an Ubuntu installation guide, and then continues with setup, administration, office software, multimedia applications, and continuing maintenance. A double-sided DVD... Oct 26 2008 Consensus genetic maps as median orders from inconsistent sources Jackson B., Schnable P., Aluru S.  IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics 5(2): 161-171, 2008. Type: Article Two genes or genetic markers are said to be linked if they occur on the same chromosome and tend to be inherited together. The physical ordering of the genetic markers along the chromosome is called a genetic map. Alfred Sturtevant created the... Nov 2 2008 IPTV security: protecting high-value digital contents Ramirez D.,  Wiley Publishing, 2008. 252 pp. Type: Book Television and the Internet are perhaps the most significant inventions of all time. They have both been very effective in shrinking the world, and have had a profound effect on society and culture. The merger of television and Internet has... Sep 21 2008 Public key superstructure: "It’s PKI Jim, but not as we know it!" Wilson S.  Identity and trust on the Internet (Proceedings of the 7th Symposium on Identity and Trust on the Internet, Gaithersburg, Maryland,  Mar 4-6, 2008) 72-88, 2008. Type: Proceedings Why is it so hard to make global public key infrastructure (PKI) work? Not only does Wilson excellently question the misleading assumptions pertaining to the apparent failure of universal open PKI, but he also lucidly presents a viable evolution... Sep 28 2008 The annotated Turing: a guided tour through Alan Turing’s historic paper on computability and the Turing machine Petzold C.,  Wiley Publishing, 2008. 384 pp. Type: Book Computability theory textbooks usually have little historical content, while popular treatments usually have few technical details. This book is the exception that carefully explains one of the fundamental papers of the 20th century, putting it... Oct 12 2008   Display 510152550100 per page
