Autonomic Computingby Manish Parashar
Taylor & Francis 2006; US$ 99.95Autonomic computing systems mimic the human autonomic nervous system to realize a set of ''self-*'' properties, including self-configuration, self-healing, self-optimization, and self-protection. This book begins by introducing the concepts and requirements of autonomic computing and exploring the architectures required to implement such a system. The focus then shifts to the approaches and infrastructures followed by enabling systems, technologies, and services proposed for achieving the self-* properties. In the final section, real-world implementations reveal the applications of emerging autonomic systems, such as dynamic server allocation and runtime reconfiguration and repair. more...
Advanced Autonomic Networking and Communicationby Monique Calisti; Sven van der Meer; John Strassner
Springer 2007; US$ 59.95This book presents a comprehensive reference of state-of-the-art efforts and early results in the area of autonomic networking and communication. The essence of autonomic networking, and thus autonomic communications, is to enable the self-governing of services and resources within the constraints of business rules. In order to support self-governance, appropriate self-* functionality will be deployed in the network on an application-specific basis. The continuing increase in complexity of upcoming networking convergence scenarios mandates a new approach to network management. This special issue explores different ways that autonomic principles can be applied to existing and future networks. In particular, the book has 3 main parts, each of... more...
Autonomic Computing and Networkingby Yan Zhang; Laurence Tianruo Yang; Mieso K. Denko
Springer 2009; US$ 189.00Autonomic computing and networking are computing and networking paradigms that allow the creation of self-managing and self-controlling computing and networking environment using various techniques to dynamically control networking functions without human interventions. This title presents introductory and advanced topics in this area. more...
Open Source Software for Digital Forensicsby Ewa Huebner
Springer 2010; US$ 149.00Open Source Software for Digital Forensics is the first book dedicated to the use of FLOSS (Free Libre Open Source Software) in computer forensics. It presents the motivations for using FLOSS applications as tools for collection, preservation and analysis of digital evidence in computer and network forensics. It also covers extensively several forensic FLOSS tools, their origins and evolution. Open Source Software for Digital Forensics is based on the OSSCoNF workshop, which was held in Milan, Italy, September 2008 at the World Computing Congress, co-located with OSS 2008. This edited volume is a collection of contributions from researchers and practitioners world wide. Open Source Software for Digital Forensics is designed for advanced level... more...

Run-time Models for Self-managing Systems and Applicationsby Danilo Ardagna; Li Zhang
Springer 2010; US$ 69.95This edited volume focuses on the adoption of run-time models for the design and management of autonomic systems. Traditionally, performance models have a central role in the design of computer systems. Models are used at design-time to support the capacity planning of the physical infrastructure and to analyze the effects and trade-offs of different architectural choices. Models may also be used at run-time to assess the compliance of the running system with respect to design-time models, to measure the real system performance parameters to fill the gap between design and run-time. Models at run-time can also assess the compliance of service level agreements and trigger autonomic systems re-configuration. Run-time models are receiving great... more...
Resource-Aware Data Fusion Algorithms for Wireless Sensor Networksby Ahmed Abdelgawad; Magdy Bayoumi
Springer 2012; US$ 129.00This book introduces resource-aware data fusion algorithms to gather and combine data from multiple sources (e.g., sensors) in order to achieve inferences. These techniques can be used in centralized and distributed systems to overcome sensor failure, technological limitation, and spatial and temporal coverage problems. The algorithms described in this book are evaluated with simulation and experimental results to show they will maintain data integrity and make data useful and informative. Describes techniques to overcome real problems posed by wireless sensor networks deployed in circumstances that might interfere with measurements provided, such as strong variations of pressure, temperature, radiation, and electromagnetic noise; Uses simulation... more...
