Type: Article Faced with a practical number-crunching problem, the modern practitioner must address a dilemma: Will my solution be better if I write custom software suitable for a commodity floating-point graphics processing unit (GPU) powerhouse, or should I... 1     Mathematical logic Chiswell I., Hodges W.,  Oxford University Press, Inc., New York, NY, 2007. 296 pp. Type: Book (9780199215621) The scope of this book is different from that of Hodges’ previous book [1]; it is designed for a more specialized audience of advanced undergraduates or graduates in mathematics or related fields. Both Chiswell and Hodges are to be... 2      Performance evaluation and model checking join forces Baier C., Haverkort B., Hermanns H., Katoen J.  Communications of the ACM 53(9): 76-85, 2010. Type: Article I liked this history when I first skimmed it.  Now, I’m not so sure.  ... 3      The seductive computer: why IT systems always fail Partridge D.,  Springer-Verlag New York, Inc., New York, NY, 2010. 323 pp. Type: Book (978-1-849964-97-5) People in information technology (IT) have always had an inferiority complex. Over the past few decades, the IT industry has projected itself as producing well-engineered and thoroughly tested products. Partridge doesn’t believe a word of... 4     Private cloud computing: consolidation, virtualization, and service-oriented infrastructure Smoot S., Tan N.,  Morgan Kaufmann Publishers Inc., San Francisco, CA, 2011. 424 pp. Type: Book (978-0-123849-19-9), Reviews: (2 of 2) Just as the beginning of the 20th century saw companies shutting down their in-house electricity generation in favor of buying power from the grid, the beginning of the 21st century is seeing companies move away from in-house information... 5     Operating system design: the Xinu approach, Linksys version Comer D.,  Chapman&Hall/CRC, Boca Raton, FL, 2011. 629 pp. Type: Book (978-1-439881-09-5), Reviews: (2 of 2) Arthur C. Clarke’s third law states: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Processor-based technologies, from supercomputers, to mainframes, to digital control systems, to handheld devices,... 6      High-performance up-and-downdating via Householder-like transformations Van De Geijn R., Van Zee F.  ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software 38(1): 1-17, 2011. Type: Article The linear least-squares problem in statistics is usually solved by finding the Cholesky factor of the matrix of normal equations. In certain applications, one wants to solve several related problems formed by removing and/or adding data. In this ... 7      The effect of simulation games on the learning of computational problem solving Liu C., Cheng Y., Huang C.  Computers & Education 57(3): 1907-1918, 2011. Type: Article, Reviews: (3 of 3) Problem solving requires comprehension and a strategic plan for designing and testing a solution. Simulation games might promote learning and enhance computational problem-solving skills. The design and realization of effective simulation... 8      Design of modern heuristics: principles and application Rothlauf F.,  Springer Publishing Company, Incorporated, New York, NY, 2011. 278 pp. Type: Book (978-3-540729-61-7) To use heuristic approaches in problem solving, one needs a good understanding of the problem to be solved. Particular aspects of the problem should be used when designing a heuristic solver. This book represents the best guide--according to ... 9      Current challenges in patent information retrieval Lupu M., Mayer K., Tait J., Trippe A.,  Springer Publishing Company, Incorporated, New York, NY, 2011. 431 pp. Type: Book (978-3-642192-30-2) In the last few decades, the number of patents registered has increased very rapidly.
