  Proxy-assisted periodic broadcast with multiple servers
Kusmierek E., Du D.  Distributed computing systems (Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems Workshops - W7: EC (ICDCSW’04), Mar 23-24, 2004) 91-96, 2004. Type: Proceedings

Many schemes have been proposed to address video streaming resource requirements at the server level. Most of them target minimization of the resource requirement under the assumption that a video is provided by only one central server. This...

  Anytime deduction for probabilistic logic
Frisch A., Haddawy P.  Artificial Intelligence 69(1-2): 93-122, 1994. Type: Article

Unlike other approaches to probabilistic logic, the authors’ approach is based on inference rules; that is, it can produce proofs that explain how a conclusion has been drawn....

  Network security
Douligeris C., Serpanos D.,  John Wiley & Sons, 2005. 572 pp. Type: Book, Reviews: (2 of 2)

The state of the art and future directions of network security are discussed in this book. The editors, Douligeris and Serpanos, have collected 25 chapters, written by 52 international authors, and organized them into four sections:...

  Algorithmic aspects of graph connectivity
Nagamochi H., Ibaraki T.,  Cambridge University Press, New York, NY, 2008. 392 pp. Type: Book

Graph connectivity is a central notion within the vast and rich field of graph theory and has long been studied by combinatorialists. It is then natural to examine the algorithmic aspects of graph connectivity and analyze how efficiently graph...

  Opening up education: the collective advancement of education through open technology, open content, and open knowledge
Iiyoshi T., Kumar M.,  The MIT Press, 2008. 500 pp. Type: Book

“Immersion and desire”; when I read those words by John Seely Brown, in the foreword of this book, describing the attributes necessary for learning, I felt I was in for a treat. I was not mistaken....

  Handbook of parallel computing: models, algorithms and applications
Rajasekaran S., Reif J.,  TAYLOR AND FRANCIS, 2007.Type: Book

For a mature, established discipline, a handbook is often a comprehensive repository of proven knowledge that a practitioner uses as a reference, or perhaps as a source of ideas for brainstorming. Parallel computing is, however, anything but a...

   The relational database dictionary (extended edition)
Date C.,  Apress, Berkeley, CA, 2008. 200 pp. Type: Book

The relational data model, conceived by E.F. Codd in 1970 [1], constitutes the foundation of existing database management systems. With more than 35 years of history, compiling all the terms related to relational databases seems an interesting...

   The physics of quantum information: quantum cryptography, quantum teleportation, quantum computation
Bouwmeester D., Ekert A., Zeilinger A.  Springer-Verlag, London, UK, 2000. Type: Divisible Book

A century ago, the discovery of quantum mechanics initiated a revolution in physics that challenged many deeply-held intuitions. Within the last 20 years, the application of quantum mechanics to computation has opened the door to a similar...

  Geometric folding algorithms: linkages, origami, polyhedra
Demaine E., O’Rourke J.,  Cambridge University Press, New York, NY, 2007. 496 pp. Type: Book

Rarely can a single work serve as both a guide to a serious innovative course and as an attractive coffee-table book. This book has that distinction, and is either way irresistible to a wide range of scientists. It embraces many concepts: a...
