Software Systems Architecture is a practitioner-oriented guide to designing and implementing effective architectures for information systems. It is both a readily accessible introduction to software architecture and an invaluable handbook of well-established best practices. It shows why the role of the architect is central to any successful information-systems development project, and, by presenting a set of architectural viewpoints and perspectives, provides specific direction for improving your own and your organization's approach to software systems architecture.

With this book you will learn how to
• Design an architecture that reflects and balances the different needs of its stakeholders
• Communicate the architecture to stakeholders and demonstrate that it has met their requirements
• Focus on architecturally significant aspects of design, including frequently overlooked areas such as performance, resilience, and location
• Use scenarios and patterns to drive the creation and validation of your architecture
• Document your architecture as a set of related views
• Use perspectives to ensure that your architecture exhibits important qualities such as performance, scalability, and security

The architectural viewpoints and perspectives presented in the book also provide a valuable long-term reference source for new and experienced architects alike.

Whether you are an aspiring or practicing software architect, you will find yourself referring repeatedly to the practical advice in this book throughout the lifecycle of your projects.

Improve NET Design Your Own Compilers or Digital Gehry

Improve .NET! Design Your Own Compilers

Author: Edward G Nilges

All software developers use languages, which are the fundamental tool of the trade. Despite curiosity about how languages work, few developers actually understand how. Unfortunately, most texts on language and compiler development are hard to digest, written from academic platforms for use in college-level computer science programs. On the other hand, Build Your Own .NET Language and Compiler demystifies compiler and language development, and makes the subjects palatable for all programmers.

This practical book presents techniques that you can apply to everyday work. You'll learn to add scripts and macro languages to your applications, add runtime expression evaluation to their applications, and generate code immediately. Further, you will learn parsing techniques, which are essential to extract information from any structured form of data--like text files, user input, XML, or HTML. As a bonus, the book includes a complete QuickBasic compatible compiler with source code that works. The compiler illustrates the book's techniques and acts as a versatile .NET language.

Digital Gehry: Material Resistance, Digital Construction

Author: Bruce Lindsay

Frank O. Gehry, born in 1929, founded his own architectural firm in Los Angeles in 1962, and since the building of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, he is undoubtedly among the ranks of international architecture superstars. His buildings are complex constructions, with curves and distortions, skilful plastic shapes which never cease to surprise with their breath-taking spatial effects.

To create these daring designs, Gehry makes extensive use of the latest electronic tools, physical models are transformed into digital models using software and hardware which has been adapted from the space industry and medical research. This book provides a colourful insight into Gehry's design methods and the creative process behind his fantastic buildings.

Author Biography: Bruce Lindsay studied at the Yale School of Architecture; he is now Associate Head at the School of Architecture at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh (USA).

Malicious Bots: An Inside Look Into the Cyber-Criminal Underground of the Internet

Author: Ken Dunham

Originally designed to sabotage or annihilate websites, computerized "Bots" are increasingly used in mass spamming events, fraud, extortion, identity theft, and software theft. Once they are loose on the Internet there is no controlling the harm they can inflict. With more than 26 years of information security experience between them, Dunham and Melnick provide a much needed a resource for understanding the scope, sophistication, and criminal uses of bots and how to more proactively protect against them. They examine the top bot attacks against financial and government networks over the last four years and reveal the who, how, and why behind them.

iMovie 6 & iDVD: The Missing Manual

Author: David Pogu

While the last version of iMovie HD gave moviemakers the ability to capture and edit widescreen High Definition Video (HDV) from the new generation of HDV camcorders, iMovie HD 6 is all about the ease of moviemaking itself. iMovie HD 6 includes five professionally designed themes with backgrounds, motion graphics, titles and effects that act as building blocks for your projects. You can preview effects in real time using the full screen, and add sound effects with a built-in sound studio. And now you can work on multiple iMovie projects at once (and drag & drop clips among them), and output your creations to the Web with the new iWeb application, to an iPod, and even as a video Podcast. Magic iDVD offers easy-to-use themes including new widescreen options.

For professional and amateur moviemakers, this is amazing stuff. But if you want to learn the full capabilities of these applications, Apple documentation won't make the cut. Instead, "iMovie HD 6 & iDVD 6: The Missing Manual is the ideal third-party authority that covers all of these changes through an objective lens. This witty and entertaining guide from celebrated author David Pogue details every step of iMovie HD video production, from choosing and using a digital camcorder to burning the finished work onto DVDs or posting it online. The book also provides a firm grounding in basic film technique so that the quality of your video won't rely entirely on magic.

Mathematical Techniques in Multisensor Data Fusion or Network Management

Mathematical Techniques in Multisensor Data Fusion

Author: David L Hall

"Since the publication of the first edition of Mathematical Techniques in Multisensor Data Fusion, advances in algorithms, logic, and software tools have transformed the field of data fusion. This updated edition covers these areas as well as smart agents, human computer interaction, cognitive aides to analysis, and data system fusion control." Besides assisting practitioners in selecting the appropriate algorithm for implementing a data, fusion system, this book offers guidance in determining the trade-offs among competing data fusion algorithms, selecting commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) tools, and understanding when data fusion improves systems processing. Completely new chapters in this second edition explain data fusion system control and the latest applications of data fusion in data warehousing, medical equipment, and defense systems.

Booknews

Research into how to combine data from multiple (and sometimes different) sensors to find out what is going on, has been split between military (battlefield surveillance, etc.) and non-military (robotics, etc.) concerns. The two groups don't speak to each other, and have developed different approaches, techniques, and terminology. Here is a distillation of the mathematics they both use for data- fusion reduced to the bare bones to be comprehensible to researchers and application engineers in many fields. Annotation c.

Network Management: Accounting and Performance Strategies

Author: Benoit Clais

Network Management: Accounting and Performance Strategies

 

The definitive guide to collecting usage information from Cisco networks

 

Benoit Claise, CCIE® No. 2868

Ralf Wolter

 

Understanding network performance and effectiveness is now crucial to business success. To ensure user satisfaction, both service providers and enterprise IT teams must provide service-level agreements (SLA) to the users of their networks–and then consistently deliver on those commitments. Now, two of the Cisco® leading network performance and accounting experts bring together all the knowledge network professionals need to do so.

 

Network Management: Accounting and Performance Strategies imparts a deep understanding of Cisco IOS® embedded management for monitoring and optimizing performance, together with proven best strategies for both accounting and performance management.

 

Benoit Claise and Ralf Wolter begin by introducing the role of accounting and performance management in today’s large-scale data and voice networks. They present widely accepted performance standards and definitions, along with today’s best practice methodologies for data collection.

 

Next, they turn to Ciscodevices and the Cisco IOS Software, illuminating embedded management and device instrumentation features that enable you to thoroughly characterize performance, plan network enhancements, and anticipate potential problems and prevent them. Network standards, technologies, and Cisco solutions covered in depth include Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Management Information Bases (MIB), Remote Monitoring (RMON), IP accounting, NetFlow, BGP policy accounting, AAA Accounting, Network Based Application Recognition (NBAR), and IP SLA (formerly known as SAA). For each, the authors present practical examples and hands-on techniques.

 

The book concludes with chapter-length scenarios that walk you through accounting and performance management for five different applications: data network monitoring, capacity planning, billing, security, and voice network performance.

 

Network Management: Accounting and Performance Strategies will be indispensable to every professional concerned with network performance, effectiveness, or profitability, especially NMS/OSS architects, network and service designers, network administrators, and anyone responsible for network accounting or billing.

 

Benoit Claise, CCIE® No. 2868, is a Cisco Distinguished Engineer working as an architect for embedded management and device instrumentation. His area of expertise includes accounting, performance, and fault management. Claise is a contributor to the NetFlow standardization at the IETF in the IPFIX and PSAMP Working Groups. He joined Cisco in 1996 as a customer support engineer in the Technical Assistance Center network management team and became an escalation engineer before joining the engineering team.

 

Ralf Wolter is a senior manager, consulting engineering at Cisco. He leads the Cisco Core and NMS/OSS consulting team for Europe, works closely with corporate engineering, and supports large-scale customer projects. He specializes in device instrumentation related to accounting and performance management.

 

• Compare accounting methods and choose the best approach for you
• Apply network performance best practices to your network
• Leverage built-in Cisco IOS network management system components to quantify performance
• Uncover trends in performance statistics to help avoid service degradation before it occurs
• Identify under use of network paths, so you can improve overall network efficiency

• Walk through hands-on case studies that address monitoring, capacity planning, billing, security, and voice networks
• Understand Cisco network performance, deliver on your SLAs, and improve accounting and billing

Customer Data Integration or Curriculum Webs

Customer Data Integration: Reaching a Single Version of the Truth

Author: Don Peppers

"Customers are the heart of any business. But we can't succeed if we develop only one talk addressed to the 'average customer.' Instead we must know each customer and build our individual engagements with that knowledge. If Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is going to work, it calls for skills in Customer Data Integration (CDI). This is the best book that I have seen on the subject. Jill Dyché is to be complimented for her thoroughness in interviewing executives and presenting CDI."
-Philip Kotler, S. C. Johnson

Distinguished Professor of International Marketing Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University

"In this world of killer competition, hanging on to existing customers is critical to survival. Jill Dyché's new book makes that job a lot easier than it has been."
-Jack Trout, author, Differentiate or Die

"Jill and Evan have not only written the definitive work on Customer Data Integration, they've made the business case for it. This book offers sound advice to business people in search of innovative ways to bring data together about customers-their most important asset-while at the same time giving IT some practical tips for implementing CDI and MDM the right way."

-Wayne Eckerson, The Data Warehousing Institute author of Performance Dashboards: Measuring, Monitoring, and Managing Your Business

Whatever business you're in, you're ultimately in the customer business. No matter what your product, customers pay the bills. But the strategic importance of customer relationships hasn't brought companies much closer to a single, authoritative view of their customers. Written from both business andtechnicalperspectives, Customer Data Integration shows companies how to deliver an accurate, holistic, and long-term understanding of their customers through CDI.
