Distributed System Design

Distributed System Design

Future requirements for computing speed system reliability and cost-effectiveness entail the development of alternative computers to replace the traditional von Neumann organization. As computing networks come into being one of the latest dreams is now possible - distributed computing. Distributed computing brings transparent access to as much computer power and data as the user needs for accomplishing any given task - simultaneously achieving high performance and reliability. The subject of distributed computing is diverse and many researchers are investigating various issues concerning the structure of hardware and the design of distributed software. Distributed System Design defines a distributed system as one that looks to its users like an ordinary system but runs on a set of autonomous processing elements (PEs) where each PE has a separate physical memory space and the message transmission delay is not negligible. With close cooperation among these PEs the system supports an arbitrary number of processes and dynamic extensions. Distributed System Design outlines the main motivations for building a distributed system including:inherently distributed applicationsperformance/costresource sharingflexibility and extendibilityavailability and fault tolerancescalabilityPresenting basic concepts problems and possible solutions this reference serves graduate students in distributed system design as well as computer professionals analyzing and designing distributed/open/parallel systems.

A Framework for Complex System Development

A Framework for Complex System Development

Industry government and academic efforts to create a generalized systems engineering process have repeatedly fallen short. The outcome? Systems engineering failures that produce losses like the September 1999 destruction of the Mars Climate Orbiter. A simple information transfer error between teams motivated far-reaching managerial and technical changes at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory-evidence of systems engineering complexity. Struck by the amount of chaos that can quickly develop from such intricacy the author has devoted several years to the development and refinement of the framework delineated in this work to help you control the chaos. A Framework for Complex System Development develops a generalized process that distinguishes between time and logical domains-how I/O evolves over time versus the instantaneous program state. Explicitly characterized and identified they preserve the framework. By combining these views you get an application specific process versatile enough for many different contexts. It also defines the technical activities that constitute the system development process and how they connect and interact with managerial activities. You will be able to integrate these activities and realize the maximum potential for success. A key element to success in today's paradigm of faster better cheaper systems and decreasing resource levels is a clear workable plan that can be easily implemented. A Framework for Complex System Development illustrates such a plan distilling the essential aspects of system design into a logical process for a well-organized development program. With A Framework for Complex System Development you can use the author's approach-developed in the crucible of the real world-to develop sound complex systems in an organized and efficient manner.

Information System Audit How to Control the Digital Disruption

Information System Audit How to Control the Digital Disruption

The digitalization of companies is a recurrent topic of conversation for managers. Companies are forced to evolve at least as fast as their competitors. They have to review their organization their processes and their way of working. This also concerns auditors in terms of their audit strategy and working methods. Digitalization is the tip of the iceberg that represents the increasing reliance on information technology of the company’s information system. Companies have seen new competitors succeed with a digital approach competitors that have opened new markets or new ways of interacting with their customers and all business processes can be digitalized. In this new paradigm auditors have to renew themselves too. Long gone are the days of auditors specializing in one technique like financial auditors or IT auditors. This makes it a phenomenal opportunity for auditing to renew itself embracing the vision of the company’s information system: long live the information system auditors! This book proposes you to go step by step from a common understanding of our history of auditing to gradually defining and justifying the impacts of digitalization on the audit strategy and the preparation of audits. | Information System Audit How to Control the Digital Disruption
