Jeffrey Lesser's invaluable book tells the poignant and puzzling story of how earlier this century, in spite of the power of anti-Semitic politicians and intellectuals, Jews made their exodus to Brazil, "the land of the future."

The contributors who represent a number of nationalities and disciplines themselves analyze how the original Japanese immigrants, their...

ISBN: 9781402074998 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 367 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. As computer networks (and computational grids) become increasingly complex, the problem of allocating resources within such networks, in a distributed fashion, will become more and more of a design and implementation concern. This is especially true where the allocation involves distributed collections of resources rather than just a single resource, where there are alternative patterns of resources with different levels of utility that can satisfy the desired allocation, and where this allocation process must be done in soft real-time. Distributed Sensor Networks is the...
