Now Fully Updated: The Definitive, Vendor-Neutral Guide to Cloud Computing Success Cloud computing offers immense opportunities to improve agility and competitiveness - as well as significant risks. To maximize value and avoid pitfalls, you need a thorough, vendor-neutral understanding of today's technologies, models, tools, and architectures. Cloud Computing, Second Edition presents up-to-date knowledge for every facet of cloud computing: from scoping projects through designing solutions, assessing providers to administering resources and managing cost. Renowned IT author Thomas Erl and enterprise cloud expert Eric Barcel?Monroy distill proven technologies and practices into well-defined concepts, models, mechanisms, and architectures. Each is explained in ways that align with modern industry usage, to help you clearly understand and assess your options. First, the authors show how cloud computing emerged and evolved, introducing core concepts, models, components, and security issues

For 80 years, mathematics has driven fundamental innovation in computing and communications. This timely book provides a panorama of some recent ideas in mathematics and how they will drive continued innovation in computing, communications and AI in the coming years. It provides a unique insight into how the new techniques that are being developed can be used to provide theoretical foundations for technological progress, just as mathematics was used in earlier times by Turing, von Neumann, Shannon and others. Edited by leading researchers in the field, chapters cover the application of new mathematics in computer architecture, software verification, quantum computing, compressed sensing, networking, Bayesian inference, machine learning, reinforcement learning and many other areas.

Cognitive Computing for Human-Robot Interaction: Principles and Practices explores the efforts that should ultimately enable society to take advantage of the often-heralded potential of robots to provide economical and sustainable computing applications. The book discusses each of these abilities, presents working implementations, and combines coherent and original deliberative architecture for human-robot interaction. Supported by experimental results, the book shows how explicit knowledge management can be instrumental in richer and more natural human-robot interactions by pushing for pervasive, human-level semantics within the robot's deliberative system for sustainable computing applications.
