Architecture Description Languages is an essential reference for both academic and professional researchers in the field of system engineering and design. The papers presented in this volume were selected from the workshop of the same name that was held as part of the World Computer Congress 2004 Conference, held in Toulouse, France in August 2004. This collection presents significant research and innovative developments and applications from both academic researchers and industry practitioners on topics ranging from Semantics to Tool and Development Environments.

Why is Graphite one of the most popular tools for monitoring and graphing the performance of computer systems? This practical book helps you use this open source tool to track the operational data you need to monitor your systems and track application-level metrics for profiling your services. You'll learn how to correlate all of that data with business intelligence to help you make informed decisions about your IT strategies.

This book is ideal for system administrators and engineers, who have familiarity with managing servers or development environments from the command line.

People relate to other people, not to simplified types or segments. This is the concept that underpins this book. Personas, a user centered design methodology covers topics from interaction design within IT, through to issues surrounding product design, communication, and marketing.

Project developers need to understand how users approach their products from the product's infancy, and regardless of what the product might be. Developers should be able to describe the user of the product via vivid depictions, as if they - with their different attitudes, desires and habits - were...

Internet attack on computer systems is pervasive. It can take from less than a minute to as much as eight hours for an unprotected machine connected to the Internet to be completely compromised. It is the information security architect s job to prevent attacks by securing computer systems. This book describes both the process and the practice of assessing a computer system s existing information security posture. Detailing the time-tested practices of experienced security architects, it explains how to deliver the right security at the right time in the implementation lifecycle....

During the last three decades, reconfigurable logic has been growing steadily and can now be found in many different fields. Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are one of the most famous architecture families of reconfigurable devices. FPGAs can be seen as arrays of logic units that can be reconfigured to realize any digital systems. Their high versatility has enabled designers to drastically reduce time to market, and made FPGAs suitable for prototyping or small production series in many branches of industrial products. In addition, and thanks to innovations at the architecture level,...

Real-World Electronic Voting: Design, Analysis and Deployment captures all major developments in electronic voting since 2003 in a real-world setting. It covers three broad categories: e-voting protocols, attacks reported on e-voting and new developments on the use of e-voting.

This book explores recent innovations in both poll-site and remote voting systems and their application throughout the world. The requirements of elections are analysed, the available tools and technologies are described, and a variety of modern systems are presented in detail...

Cyber-criminals have your web applications in their crosshairs. They search for and exploit common security mistakes in your web application to steal user data. Learn how you can secure your Node.js applications, database and web server to avoid these security holes. Discover the primary attack vectors against web applications, and implement security best practices and effective countermeasures. Coding securely will make you a stronger web developer and analyst, and you'll protect your users.

Bake security into your code from the start. See how to protect your Node.js applications...

Keystone--OpenStack's Identity service--provides secure controlled access to a cloud's resources. In OpenStack environments, Keystone performs many vital functions, such as authenticating users and determining what resources users are authorized to access.

Whether the cloud is private, public, or dedicated, access to cloud resources and security is essential. This practical guide to using Keystone provides detailed, step-by-step guidance to creating a secure cloud environment at the Infrastructure-as-a-Service layer--as well as key practices for safeguarding your cloud's ongoing...

This book takes the improvement and replacement of energy forms as mainline. From a perspective of macro-history and inter-discipline, the stereoscopic observation of energy, science and technology, environment and development course of human civilization is carried out, the objective laws of energy replacement and civilization evolution are revealed, the real predicament why we fall into and how we get out of is carefully investigated, and the brilliant perspective of future energy form and civilization pattern is given. The book is suitable for the readers who are concerned about energy,...

A great success, The Art of Capacity Planning in 2008 showed engineers practical methods for measuring, analyzing, and predicting website capacity. This thoroughly revised second edition not only updates and refines methods for an industry that's since evolved by leaps and bounds, but also provides up-to-date content on the latest technological developments, including topics characteristic of current cloud systems, such as:

• Dynamic capacity management via autoscaling
• Capacity planning in the presence of anomalies
• Application characterization and hardware...
