  • Multicast Communication

    Protocols, Programming, & Applications
    • 1st Edition
    • Ralph Wittmann + 1 more
    • English
    The Internet is quickly becoming the backbone for the worldwide information society of the future. Point-to-point communication dominates the network today, however, group communication--using multicast technology--will rapidly gain importance as digital, audio, and video transmission, push technology for the Web, and distribution of software updates to millions of end users become ubiquitous.Multicast Communication: Protocols and Applications explains how and why multicast technology is the key to this transition. This book provides network engineers, designers, and administrators with the underlying concepts as well as a complete and detailed description of the protocols and algorithms that comprise multicast.

  • MPLS

    Technology and Applications
    • 1st Edition

    • English
    Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is now a widely deployed technology, which addresses a variety of issues, including traffic engineering, Quality of Service, Virtual Private Networks, and IP/ATM integration. MPLS: Technology and Applications is the first book that provides a detailed analysis of the architecture, protocols, and application of MPLS. Written by experts who personally authored key parts of the standard, this book will enable network operators and designers to determine which aspects of networks would benefit from MPLS. It is also a definitive reference for engineers implementing MPLS-based products.

  • MICO

    An Open Source CORBA Implementation
    • 1st Edition
    • Arno Puder + 1 more
    • English
    MICO is a complete implementation of CORBA, the dominant standard for distributed application development. This book shows you how to build and manage your own professional, industrial-strength CORBA applications using MICO.One of the most successful examples of open source development, MICO is the collaborative result of hundreds of independent programmers working together to modify and improve the initial source code. Here is a practical, affordable introduction to building distributed applications.

  • Understanding SQL and Java Together

    A Guide to SQLJ, JDBC, and Related Technologies
    • 1st Edition
    • Jim Melton + 1 more
    • English
    With the growth of Java and the rise of database-powered Web applications, the need to use Java with SQL is clear. Until now, authoritative coverage of the techniques available to meet these challenges and reap their benefits-both programming and career benefits-didn't exist.Understanding SQL and Java Together examines all the standards for combining SQL and Java. It shows you exactly how to use their features to write efficient and effective code supporting Java access to SQL data in a variety of ways. You'll gain a thorough understanding of the relationship between SQL and Java, which will allow you to write static and dynamic SQL programs in Java, merge Java code with SQL databases and SQL code, and use other data management techniques wherever appropriate.

  • Skew-Tolerant Circuit Design

    • 1st Edition
    • David Harris
    • English
    As advances in technology and circuit design boost operating frequencies of microprocessors, DSPs and other fast chips, new design challenges continue to emerge. One of the major performance limitations in today's chip designs is clock skew, the uncertainty in arrival times between a pair of clocks. Increasing clock frequencies are forcing many engineers to rethink their timing budgets and to use skew-tolerant circuit techniques for both domino and static circuits. While senior designers have long developed their own techniques for reducing the sequencing overhead of domino circuits, this knowledge has routinely been protected as trade secret and has rarely been shared. Skew-Tolerant Circuit Design presents a systematic way of achieving the same goal and puts it in the hands of all designers.This book clearly presents skew-tolerant techniques and shows how they address the challenges of clocking, latching, and clock skew. It provides the practicing circuit designer with a clearly detailed tutorial and an insightful summary of the most recent literature on these critical clock skew issues.

  • Database

    Principles, Programming, and Performance, Second Edition
    • 1st Edition
    • Patrick O'Neil + 1 more
    • English
    This second edition relies on the same successful approach that distinguished the first: it covers the principles of database theory with unmatched thoroughness, and it rigorously links theory to the real world of database programming and administration. A careful discussion of SQL standards and a multitude of examples drawn from actual databases-Oracle, DB2, and Informix-complements the authors' concept-oriented instruction, allowing you to develop product-specific understanding and to learn the important differences between the SQL dialects that will enable you to write portable applications.

  • Robots for Kids

    Exploring New Technologies for Learning
    • 1st Edition
    • Allison Druin + 1 more
    • English
    Within the sphere of children's learning and play, the concept of robot and the application of actual robots are undergoing a dramatic expansion. Here the term "robot" refers to a growing range of interactive devices-including toys, pets, assistants to the disabled, and overtly educational tools-which are being used in ways that are expected to have profound and beneficial effects on how our children develop and grow.Robots for Kids: Exploring New Technologies for Learning opens with contributions from leading designers and researchers, each offering a unique perspective into the challenge of developing robots specifically for children. The second part is devoted to the stories of educators who work with children using these devices, exploring new applications and mapping their impact. Throughout the book, essays by children are included that discuss their first-hand experiences and ideas about robots. This is an engaging, entertaining, and insightful book for a broad audience, including HCI, AI, and robotics researchers in business and academia, new media and consumer product developers, robotics hobbyists, toy designers, teachers, and education researchers.

  • Big Book of Internet File Transfer RFCs

    • 1st Edition
    • Peter Loshin
    • English
    File Transfer Protocol (FTP) was one of the first applications implemented on the Internet, and it is also one of the most fundamental. Almost all Internet hosts support it, as do almost all browsers. This volume offers exhaustive coverage of the rules governing how clients and servers communicate to enable successful data transfers via FTP. In addition to documentation of file transfer mechanics, readers will find practical instructions on many special techniques, including using file transfers for network booting and the security issues relating to file transfer over the Internet. Despite the growing acceptance of protocols specific to the Web, there remain many scenarios in which simple file transfer offers clear-cut advantages. Thus, this book is certain to prove an important source of information for years to come.
