Design Methods for Reactive Systems: Yourdon, Statemate, and the UMLDesign Methods for Reactive Systems describes methods and techniques for the design of software systemsparticularly reactive software systems that engage in stimulus-response behavior. Such systems, which include information systems, workflow management systems, systems for e-commerce, production control systems, and embedded... | | Grids, Clouds and Virtualization (Computer Communications and Networks)
Research into grid computing has been driven by the need to solve large-scale, increasingly complex problems for scientific applications. Yet the applications of grid computing for business and casual users did not begin to emerge until the development of the concept of cloud computing, fueled by advances in virtualization techniques, coupled... | | Object-Oriented Programming in the Beta Programming LanguageThis is a book on object-oriented programming and the BETA programming language. Object-oriented programming originated with the Simula languages developed at the Norwegian Computing Center, Oslo, in the 1960s. The first Simula language, Simula I, was intended for writing simulation programs. Simula I was later used as a basis for defining a... |
