The book <i>Using OpenMP: Portable Shared Memory Parallel Programming</i>, presents OpenMP more than appropriately, from the perspective of high performance computing, which traditionally has provided most (if not all) the parallel software development strategies.

<i>Algorithms of the Intelligent Web</i> is a timely and instructive book that brings together techniques for the rapidly evolving field of intelligent web applications. It covers problems such as crawling, indexing, searching, integrating search results with link analysis and user’s…

Fault tolerance has become an important issue for parallel applications in the last few years. The parallel systems' users want them to be reliable considering two main dimensions, availability and data consistency. Availability can be provided with solutions such as…

This paper presents a hybrid method to solve hard multiobjective problems. The proposed approach adopts an epsilon-constraint method which uses a Particle Swarm Optimizer to get points near of the true Pareto front. In this approach, only few points will…

The following research proposes a first approximation to the Dynamic Hypermedial Device modeling based on the analysis of interactions. In addition, the DEVS (Discrete EVents dynamic Systems) formalism is employed, which is particularly suitable for the modeling of discrete event…

In this paper, the signal propagation characteristics of urban environments are predicted by modeling important propagation parameters of the Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) network for macrocells. The MOPEM propagation model has been selected as a model of choice due…

This paper outlines and deals with the problem of fault detection, isolation and identification of the four-elements detector system attached to the Cairo Fourier diffractometer facility (CFDF) used for neutron time-of-flight (TOF) spectrum measurements. A feed forward neural network and…

This paper presents the results of studies that made possible to propose a particular contribution to improve the quality on developing automotive embedded systems through a requirements specification template of a communication network based on CAN protocol. The whole template…

The book deals with the topic of Operating Systems from and intuitive perspective and then delves into more technical concepts, which makes it appropriate for a first introductory course on the matter.

An updated edition of the classic book on computer architecture by J. L. Hennessy and D. A. Patterson.
Authors show their high level standards for technological ideas, writing style, and teaching methodologies, all in one book. In fact, they maintain…
