Mobile Cloud Computing: Models, Implementation, and Security provides a comprehensive introduction to mobile cloud computing, including key concepts, models, and relevant applications. The book focuses on novel and advanced algorithms, as well as mobile app development.

The book begins with an overview of mobile cloud computing concepts, models, and service deployments, as well as specific cloud service models. It continues with the basic mechanisms and principles of mobile computing, as well as virtualization techniques. The book also introduces mobile cloud...

This book begins with a discussion of the types of unification in elementary particle physics and gravitation. It concludes that, at present, the unification of the seven interactions: four known and three 'new' interactions, is properly done using the Riemann-Christoffel curvature tensor. We describe the three 'new' interactions in detail: a U(4) Generation group interaction, a U(4) Layer group interaction, and a U(4) gauge field interaction due to the Complex General Relativistic Reality group that we construct. Then the curvature tensor is constructed for all seven interactions...

Advances in Computers, Volume 106 is the latest volume in the series, which has been published since 1960. This update presents innovations in computer hardware, software, theory, design and applications, with new chapters in this volume including sections on A New Course on R&D Project Management in Computer Science and Engineering: Subjects Taught, Rationales Behind, and Lessons Learned, Advances in Dataflow Systems, Adaptation and Evaluation of the Simplex Algorithm for a Data-Flow Architecture, and Simple Operations in Memory to Reduce Data Movement. In addition, this series...

Forget everything you've learned in any "statistics" courses you've ever attended. This ground-breaking book will introduce a "mind set," not a "tool set" to effectively utilize data to improve your practice.

This totally revised and streamlined edition presents an everyday organizational language to understand the many guises of variation and a framework to react appropriately. A deeper understanding of variation is far more important than statistical techniques when solving quality improvement problems in a healthcare practice.

While defined projects are still necessary for...

This book is a supplement to Unification of the Seven Boson Interactions based on the Riemann-Christoffel Curvature Tensor ... (I). Together these works provide a unified picture of the boson sector of The Theory of Everything: vector bosons, gravitation and Higgs bosons. The boson sector unification is based on the Riemann-Christoffel tensor, which must include all interactions in its description of our curved space-time. The boson lagrangian part of The Theory of Everything is constructed from the Riemann-Christoffel tensor in a manner similar to the construction of the Theory...

"A stereotype of computer science textbooks is that they are dry, boring, and sometimes even intimidating. As a result, they turn students' interests off from the subject matter instead of enticing them into it. This textbook is the opposite of such a stereotype. The author presents the subject matter in a refreshing story-telling style and aims to bring the Internet-generation of students closer to her stories."

Advances in Computers, Volume 107, the latest volume in a series published since 1960, presents detailed coverage of innovations in computer hardware, software, theory, design and applications. Chapters in this updated volume include Advances in Model-based Analysis and Testing, Advances in Software Quality Assurance, Advances in Handling Uncertainty in Testing, Advances in Testing of Communicating Systems, and Advances in Formal Verification and Cyber-physical Systems. This book provides contributors with a medium in which they can explore their subjects in greater depth and...

What type of individual is God? Will He slap you if you step out of line and don't follow his "rules"? Can you converse with Him casually? Can you confide in Him without fear of punishment? Everyone has pondered these questions, either directly of indirectly, and the answers have shaped their religious philosophy? This book investigates these questions, and many others, by using the cell-phone to converse with God. They're everywhere, so why not try to get in touch with the Almighty with their use. Although the account is fictitious, the revealed spiritual truths are not and it is hoped...

Internet Infrastructure: Networking, Web Services, and Cloud Computing provides a comprehensive introduction to networks and the Internet from several perspectives: the underlying media, the protocols, the hardware, the servers, and their uses. The material in the text is divided into concept chapters that are followed up with case study chapters that examine how to install, configure, and secure a server that offers the given service discussed.

The book covers in detail the Bind DNS name server, the Apache web server, and the Squid proxy server. It also provides...

Today's graduates should be grounded in the basics of personal finance and possess the skills and knowledge necessary to make informed decisions and take responsibility for their own financial well-being. Faced with an array of complex financial services and sophisticated products, many graduates lack the knowledge and skills to make rational, informed decisions on the use of their money and planning for future events, such as retirement.

This book shows what you can do to improve financial literacy awareness and education. It covers the use of interactive games and...

In the summer of 2003 we began designing multi-track recording and mixing software - Orinj at RecordingBlogs.com - a software application that will take digitally recorded audio tracks and will mix them into a complete song with all the needed audio production effects. Manipulating digital sound, as it turned out, was not easy. We had to find the answers of many questions, including what digital audio was, how we could mix audio tracks, how we could track the amplitude of digital sound so that we could apply compression, how we could track frequencies so that we could equalize, what a good...
