More About This Textbook
Overview
Database and Data Communication Network Systems examines the utilization of the Internet and Local Area/Wide Area Networks in all areas of human endeavor. This three-volume set covers, among other topics, database systems, data compression, database architecture, data acquisition, asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) and the practical application of these technologies. The international collection of contributors was culled from exhaustive research of over 100,000 related archival and technical journals.
This reference will be indispensable to engineering and computer science libraries, research libraries, and telecommunications, networking, and computer companies. It covers a diverse array of topics, including:
• Techniques in emerging database system architectures
• Techniques and applications in data mining
• Object-oriented database systems
• Data acquisition on the WWW during heavy client/server traffic periods
• Information exploration on the WWW
• Education and training in multimedia database systems
• Data structure techniques in rapid prototyping and manufacturing
• Wireless ATM in data networks for mobile systems
• Applications in corporate finance
• Scientific data visualization
• Data compression and information retrieval
• Techniques in medical systems, intensive care units
Audience: Engineering and computer science university libraries, research libraries, telecommunications providers (PacBell, AT&T, etc.), wireless companies (Verizon), and computer companies (Cisco, IBM).
Editorial Reviews
From The Critics
Though the use of databases and data communication networks has been expanding at an exponential rate, we ain't seen nothin` yet. Technologies for efficient data organization, data query, security, and load balancing are keys to the future. In this three-volume work, 25 carefully prepared and assembled contributions provide background and foundation basics as well as advanced information on how to appropriately select database organization, query strategy and network architecture. Volume 1 covers data processing techniques (object- oriented structure, multilevel organization, data compression, and security aspects) as well as query methods (e.g. data mining, fuzzy query processing, and geometric hashing). The second volume covers applications in the realms of scientific investigation (data visualization, virtual environments), manufacturing, engineering support, and corporate activities. The third volume includes coverage of networking, ATM, and the web and then brings all facets together for consideration of vertically integrated system design. The chapters are self-contained, written by experts in industry, government, and academia under the editorial leadership of Cornelius T. Leondes, well- known for his contributions to system analysis and design. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, ORProduct Details
