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.

System Reliability and Security Techniques and Methodologies

System Reliability and Security Techniques and Methodologies

Because of the growing reliance on software concerns are growing as to how reliable a system is before it is commissioned for use how high the level of reliability is in the system and how many vulnerabilities exist in the system before its operationalization. Equally pressing issues include how to secure the system from internal and external security threats that may exist in the face of resident vulnerabilities. These two problems are considered increasingly important because they necessitate the development of tools and techniques capable of analyzing dependability and security aspects of a system. These concerns become more pronounced in the cases of safety-critical and mission-critical systems. System Reliability and Security: Techniques and Methodologies focuses on the use of soft computing techniques and analytical techniques in the modeling and analysis of dependable and secure systems. It examines systems and applications having complex distributed or networked architectures in such fields as: Nuclear energy Ground transportation systems Air traffic control Healthcare and medicine Communications System reliability engineering is a multidisciplinary field that uses computational methods for estimating or predicting the reliability aspects of a system and analyzing failure data obtained from real-world projects. System security is a related field that ensures that even a reliable system is secure against accidental or deliberate intrusions and is free of vulnerabilities. This book covers tools and techniques cutting-edge research topics and methodologies in the areas of system reliability and security. It examines prediction models and methods as well as how to secure a system as it is being developed. | System Reliability and Security Techniques and Methodologies

Operating System Design The Xinu Approach Second Edition

Operating System Design The Xinu Approach Second Edition

An Update of the Most Practical A-to-Z Operating System BookWidely lauded for avoiding the typical black box approach found in other operating system textbooks the first edition of this bestselling book taught readers how an operating system works and explained how to build it from the ground up. Continuing to follow a logical pattern for system design Operating System Design: The Xinu Approach Second Edition removes the mystery from operating system design and consolidates the body of material into a systematic discipline. It presents a hierarchical design paradigm that organizes major operating system components in an orderly understandable manner. The book guides readers through the construction of a conventional process-based operating system using practical straightforward primitives. It gives the implementation details of one set of primitives usually the most popular set. Once readers understand how primitives can be implemented on conventional hardware they can then easily implement alternative versions. The text begins with a bare machine and proceeds step-by-step through the design and implementation of Xinu which is a small elegant operating system that supports dynamic process creation dynamic memory allocation network communication local and remote file systems a shell and device-independent I/O functions. The Xinu code runs on many hardware platforms. This second edition has been completely rewritten to contrast operating systems for RISC and CISC processors. Encouraging hands-on experimentation the book provides updated code throughout and examples for two low-cost experimenter boards: BeagleBone Black from ARM and Galileo from Intel. | Operating System Design The Xinu Approach Second Edition

Self-Evaluation And Psychotherapy In The Market System

Self-Evaluation And Psychotherapy In The Market System

Self-Evaluation and Psychotherapy in the Market System examines the ways in which the competitive hierarchical nature of today’s market system contributes to the issues that many clients bring to therapy. Instead of seeing a lack of self-esteem as the root of clients’ problems Glantz and Bernhard argue that self-evaluation—the struggle to achieve a high opinion of self—exacerbated by the market system leads to stress and endless self-involvement. Beginning with an explanation of the connection between the market system and self-evaluation this volume then goes on to describe an approach to therapeutic treatment designed to free clients from the negative effects of the market system by moving away from self-evaluation altogether. This is a must-read for therapists looking for a new approach to treating clients left questioning their place in a society that encourages competition and self-involvement.
