Intelligent Assistant Systems: Concepts, Techniques and Technologies


Intelligent Assistant Systems: Concepts, Techniques and Technologies
IGI Global | 1591408784 | 2006 | PDF | 326p | 13MB | RS | FF

Information is becoming the raw material of modern society. That “difference that makes a difference” (Bateson, 1979) is the driving force of modern service industry. Our information spaces have been technologized and their size as well as their complexity increased. Access to information spaces and the capability to use them effectively and efficiently has become a key economical success factor. An information dilemma has been diagnosed (Kuhlen, 1999). The alternatives are (1) to search the information spaces oneself and spend an increasing amount of time for satisfying one’s information needs; and (2) to delegate the searching task to an information assistant the performance of which is time-consuming to control and the effectiveness of which is hard to assess. The first choice dominates currently. However, using such an information assistant must be the ultimate goal, as one cannot reasonably expect that technologization will stop or even be undone. In fact technologizing of the world has a long history. It is inextricably connected with technologizing the word, (Ong, 1996, p. 101), as “(s)poken words are always modifications of a total situation which is more than verbal. They never occur alone, in a context simply of words.” Technologization has significantly restructured human consciousness Ong (1996). What we are witnessing right now should be understood as the latest step in the process of technologizing the word. That process began with the invention of script (about 3200-3100 BCE), and was followed by the invention of letters (about 1500 BCE), and print (1540 CE) (Ifrah, 2000, pp. 3-25).1 The latest step is the automation of uttering and understanding words and text in which we here include calculation and computation. This sums up the capability of verbally controlling processes of all kinds. Enzensberger (1970) reports the analogy that El Lissitsky drew in 1923 between language use and modes of transportation and, in particular, vehicles. He related articulated language to upright gait; writing to the wheel; and the printing press to animal powered carts. El Lissitzky did not suggest analogies in language use for automobiles and airplanes. One is tempted to suggest that computers correspond to automobiles, and the Web to airplanes. Would it be venturing too far to relate intelligent assistants to space crafts?

Next Generation SDH/SONET: Evolution or Revolution


Huub van Helvoort, «Next Generation SDH/SONET: Evolution or Revolution»
Wiley | ISBN 0470091207 | 2005-04-29 | 254 pages | PDF | 1 Mb

Since the turn of the twentieth century, telecommunications has shifted from traditional voice transport to data transport, although digitized voice is still a large contributor. Instead of an evolution of existing transport standards, a revolution was necessary in order to enable additional data-related transport.

Next Generation SDH/SONET provides a detailed description of the enablers of efficient data transport over any synchronous network. These include virtual concatenation (VCAT), the operation to provide more granularity, and the link capacity adjustment scheme (LCAS), an extension of VCAT that provides more flexibility. Equally, generic framing procedure (GFP), the methodology that efficiently transports asynchronous, or variable bit-rate data signals over a synchronous or constant bit-rate, is explored in detail.

● Describes new extensions to SDH/SONET standards to provide more granularity and flexibility in their structures, enabling the efficient transport of data-related signals such as Ethernet and FICON

● Presents comprehensive sections on the implementation of multi-service transport platforms (MSTP) enabled by VCAT, LCAS and GFP

● Provides valuable advice on how to exploit existing networks to create or extend LANs towards metro (MAN) or wide (WAN) area networks and also to support storage area (SAN) networks

This volume will appeal to manufacturers, engineers and all those involved in developing and deploying SDH, SONET and OTN technology. It will also be an invaluable resource for postgraduate students on network communications courses.

hursday, November 5, 2009 Cisco Network Admission Control, Volume II: NAC Deployment and Troubleshooting


Cisco Network Admission Control, Volume II: NAC Deployment and Troubleshooting
Cisco Press | 1587052253 | 2006 | PDF | 624p | 11MB | RS | FF
When most information security professionals think about threats to their networks, they think about the threat of attackers from the outside. However, in recent years the number of computer security incidents occurring from trusted users within a company has equaled those occurring from external threats. The difference is, external threats are fairly well understood and almost all companies utilize tools and technology to protect against those threats. In contrast, the threats from internal trusted employees or partners are often overlooked and much more difficult to protect against.

Network Admission Control (NAC) is designed to prohibit or restrict access to the secured internal network from devices with a diminished security posture until they are patched or updated to meet the minimum corporate security requirements. A fundamental component of the Cisco® Self-Defending Network Initiative, NAC enables you to enforce host patch policies and to regulate network access permissions for noncompliant, vulnerable systems.

Cisco Network Admission Control, Volume II, helps you understand how to deploy the NAC Framework solution and ultimately build a self-defending network. The book focuses on the key components that make up the NAC Framework, showing how you can successfully deploy and troubleshoot each component and the overall solution. Emphasis is placed on real-world deployment scenarios, and the book walks you step by step through individual component configurations. Along the way, the authors call out best practices and tell you which mistakes to avoid. Component-level and solution-level troubleshooting techniques are also presented. Three full-deployment scenarios walk you through application of NAC in a small business, medium-sized organization, and large enterprise.

Embedded Controller Hardware Design


Ken Arnold, Embedded Controller Hardware Design
320 pages | Publisher: Newnes; 1st edition (January 15, 2001) | English | ISBN: 1878707523 | PDF | 1188 Kb

"The book... is a great introduction to low-end, controller design." ELECTRONIC DESIGN

Embedded Controller Hardware Design targets one of the most popular embedded controllers around, the 8051. The book, written by Ken Arnold for LLH Technology Publishing, is a great introduction to low-end, controller design, especially for developers fresh out of college or just off other projects that are used to 32-bit systems running Windows and Linux. Experienced 8-bit embedded designers will not find the book as useful unless they're unfamiliar with the 8051 and need to use it in a new project.

The coverage ranges from a novice level introduction of electronics that touches on resistors and tristate buffers to more advanced topics like bus current limitations and using 8-bit microcontrollers and PLDs (programmable logic devices). The bulk of the book concentrates on important detail like bus loading, timing, and the use of I/O, DMA, and interrupts.

The software aspects represent a key part of the book but they're not in the majority, so grab an 8051 programming book for software design. Still, there's enough software to touch on the aspects that will affect hardware designs, such as interrupt routine timing and synchronization.

The 8051 architecture is discussed in detail. It's suitable for consumption by novices and handy as a quick reference as well. Examples are sprinkled throughout. The book is designed to be used with 8031SDK, which is available online. A CD-ROM, included with the book, offers an eBook version of the text and software samples.

Immobilien-Portfoliomanagement für die öffentliche Hand
Gabler | ISBN: 3835006711 | 2007 (1. Auflage) | PDF | 229 pages | 21 Mb


Kurzbeschreibung
Im Gegensatz zum privaten Immobilienmanagement (Corporate Real Estate Management) müssen sich die Organisationen der öffentlichen Immobilienverwaltung (Public Real Estate Management) keinem Wettbewerb stellen, da sie die politischen Vorgaben zur Daseinsvorsorge umsetzen. Dennoch werden die ihnen anvertrauten Immobilien zunehmend als Assets angesehen, deren Wert es zu erhalten bzw. zu steigern gilt. Es müssen also in Zukunft Managementinstrumente eingesetzt werden, die die Bewertung öffentlicher Immobilien und die nachweisbare Optimierung des Gesamtportfolios durch die Entwicklung einzelner Immobilien ermöglichen.Stephan Seilheimer zeigt auf, wie öffentliche Immobilienbestände zu analysieren, zu bewerten und zu steuern sind und wie sie an den Markt herangeführt werden können. Dazu entwickelt er ein fünfstufiges Modell zur Einführung eines kennzahlenbasierten Portfoliomanagements mittels Benchmarking einschließlich eines Bewertungssystems für öffentliche Immobilien. Die Anwendung des Modells in der Praxis wird anhand eines öffentlichen Immobilienportfolios mit 500 000 m Nutzfläche dargestellt und Wirtschaftlichkeit und Effizienz werden über einen Zeitraum von drei Jahren nachgewiesen.
