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

The concept of slow living translates architecturally into interior spaces that slow down the frenetic pace of modern life, whether at the seaside, in a country village or in the middle of a big city. They seek wellbeing in everyday life; they favour observation, enjoyment, reflection and calm. The interiors of these homes are an alternative to the urgency of modern life and are oriented towards simplicity, conscious consumption and the natural rhythm of things.This book presents a selection of the work by architects and interior designers from around the world who seek through their work to create environments for an unhurried life.

An in-depth overview of an emerging field that brings together high-performance computing, big data processing, and deep lLearning. Over the last decade, the exponential explosion of data known as big data has changed the way we understand and harness the power of data. The emerging field of high-performance big data computing, which brings together high-performance computing (HPC), big data processing, and deep learning, aims to meet the challenges posed by large-scale data processing. This book offers an in-depth overview of high-performance big data computing and the associated technical issues, approaches, and solutions. The book covers basic concepts and necessary background knowledge, including data processing frameworks, storage systems, and hardware capabilities; offers a detailed discussion of technical issues in accelerating big data computing in terms of computation, communication, memory and storage, codesign, workload characterization and benchmarking, and system deplo

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.

This book integrates the foundations of quantum computing with a hands-on coding approach to this emerging field; it is the first to bring these strands together in an updated manner. This work is suitable for both academic coursework and corporate technical training.The second edition includes extensive updates and revisions, both to textual content and to the code. Sections have been added on quantum machine learning, quantum error correction, Dirac notation and more. This new edition benefits from the input of the many faculty, students, corporate engineering teams, and independent readers who have used the first edition.This volume comprises three books under one cover: Part I outlines the necessary foundations of quantum computing and quantum circuits. Part II walks through the canon of quantum computing algorithms and provides code on a range of quantum computing methods in current use. Part III covers the mathematical toolkit required to master quantum computing. Additional reso

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.

A concise introduction to key computing skills for biologistsWhile biological data continues to grow exponentially in size and quality, many of today’s biologists are not trained adequately in the computing skills necessary for leveraging this information deluge. In Computing Skills for Biologists, Stefano Allesina and Madlen Wilmes present a valuable toolbox for the effective analysis of biological data.Based on the authors’ experiences teaching scientific computing at the University of Chicago, this textbook emphasizes the automation of repetitive tasks and the construction of pipelines for data organization, analysis, visualization, and publication. Stressing practice rather than theory, the book’s examples and exercises are drawn from actual biological data and solve cogent problems spanning the entire breadth of biological disciplines, including ecology, genetics, microbiology, and molecular biology. Beginners will benefit from the many examples explained step-by-step, while more
