Based on solid insights generated in key areas of health, education, finance and the environment, the book offers practical recommendations and insights from world leaders, innovators, practitioners and new users of emergent technologies. Offers recommendations on how companies can ensure their own competitiveness by offering more accessible, affordable, and relevant information technologies to support mass market needs Suggests practical recommendations and insights from world leaders, innovators, practitioners and new users of emergent technologies Challenges businesses to rethink their uses of existing technologies Technology at the Margins will be of interest to decision makers in the private, public and nonprofit sectors who are interested in opportunities offered by IT in meeting the needs of those at the base of the worlds economic pyramid.
A Modular and Extensible Network Storage Architecture
This book was originally published in 1995. At the time of publication, distributed file systems were monolithic and only supported single file abstractions. Network storage devices needed to be able to accommodate emerging information media such as digital audio and video, with data radically different in characteristics to traditional text and binary that file systems were optimised for. By combining emerging and traditional media, information could be recorded and presented in the most suitable way, and the value of a piece of information could be further enhanced by linking together related pieces. However composite data and cross-reference between data items raised a number of system issues that had not been addressed properly before. In this book Dr Lo defined a multi-service storage architecture that could meet the needs of existing and emerging applications and support multiple file abstractions. He also explored a number of related design issues.
Win / Loss Reviews
An effective framework for strengthening competitiveness by learning from past deals and applying insights derived from them. Every sales opportunity, whether won or lost, has useful nuggets of information that can be harvested and used to improve performance. When those pieces of information are aggregated, analyzed and made available for all to use, the organization’s competitive position is greatly enhanced. Reveals how to turn field sales teams, a mostly underutilized resource, into net producers of competitive intelligence Exposes new and unconventional approaches for gathering and democratizing sales insights for a broad stakeholder audience Presents a proven knowledge sharing model ...
Parallel I/O for High Performance Computing
"I enjoyed reading this book immensely. The author was uncommonly careful in his explanations. I'd recommend this book to anyone writing scientific application codes." -Peter S. Pacheco, University of San Francisco "This text provides a useful overview of an area that is currently not addressed in any book. The presentation of parallel I/O issues across all levels of abstraction is this book's greatest strength." -Alan Sussman, University of Maryland Scientific and technical programmers can no longer afford to treat I/O as an afterthought. The speed, memory size, and disk capacity of parallel computers continue to grow rapidly, but the rate at which disk drives can read and write data is imp...
Operations Support Systems 2002
This comprehensive report explores network management in an internet protocol (IP) world, open-system OSS implementation and integration, evolving network architectures, and key OSS business drivers from the perspectives of a wide variety of leading industry professionals. It focuses on the innovations that are shaping the future of network management in light of the industry's transition to packet-based and wireless networks, broadband services, and converged voice-data architectures and is intended to provide unique and informed insights into the challenges involving OSSs today and the solutions and strategies that are being developed to combat those challenges.
Interoperability in Broadband Networks
Contributed chapters to this volume cover the field of global networking using heterogenous networks such as DQDB MAn, high speed LAN and B-ISDN. Strategical issues is trans-European networking are addressed.
Microsoft 2.0
Does Bill Gates?s retirement consign Microsoft to the corporate retirement home as well? Mary Jo Foley doesn?t think so. Her 25 years of Microsoft-watching provides a unique vantage point from which to speculate on how Microsoft might write its next chapter. Identifying signposts and interpreting clues she knows well, Foley offers a thought-provoking view of the software giant?s post-Gates future. Don?t be surprised to be surprised.
