UNIX: The Textbook, Third Edition provides a comprehensive introduction to the modern, twenty-first-century UNIX operating system. The book deploys PC-BSD and Solaris, representative systems of the major branches of the UNIX family, to illustrate the key concepts. It covers many topics not covered in older, more traditional textbook approaches, such as Python, UNIX System Programming from basics to socket-based network programming using the client-server paradigm, the Zettabyte File System (ZFS), and the highly developed X Windows-based KDE and Gnome GUI desktop environments.

This book discusses the advanced databases for the cloud-based application known as NoSQL. It will explore the recent advancements in NoSQL database technology. Chapters on structured, unstructured and hybrid databases will be included to explore bigdata analytics, bigdata storage and processing. The book is likely to cover a wide range of topics such as cloud computing, social computing, bigdata and advanced databases processing techniques.

As software R&D investment increases, the benefits from short feedback cycles using technologies such as continuous deployment, experimentation-based development, and multidisciplinary teams require a fundamentally different strategy and process. This book will cover the three overall challenges that companies are grappling with: speed, data and ecosystems. Speed deals with shortening the cycle time in R&D. Data deals with increasing the use of and benefit from the massive amounts of data that companies collect. Ecosystems address the transition of companies from being internally focused...

Dancing humanoids, robotic art installations, and music generated by mathematically precise methods are no longer science fiction; in fact they are the subject of this book. This first-of-its-kind anthology assembles technical research that makes such creations possible. In order to mechanize something as enigmatic and personal as dance, researchers must delve deeply into two distinct academic disciplines: control theory and art. Broadly, this research uses techniques from the world of art to inspire methods in control, enables artistic endeavours using advanced control theory and aids in...

Creativity in Computing and DataFlow Supercomputing, the latest release in the Advances in Computers series published since 1960, presents detailed coverage of innovations in computer hardware, software, theory, design, and applications. In addition, it provides contributors with a medium in which they can explore topics in greater depth and breadth than journal articles typically allow. As a result, many articles have become standard references that continue to be of significant, lasting value in this rapidly expanding field.

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...
