Virtual Communities: 2014
Written for both scholars and practitioners, this volume focuses on the design, management, use and impacts of Virtual Communities (VCs) from technological, social and economic perspectives. It brings together peer-reviewed research articles that give an in-depth review of the state-of-the-art practices, and also shows opportunities for research and practice in and around VCs.
Building Application Servers
To address new demands in business computing, software vendors are introducing application server toolkits. The concept is to create clusters of low-cost computers that support one specific business area, then connect these clusters to the corporate network. By using the network as the computer, one piece of software can support desktop computing, electronic commerce, and communication with traditional mainframe software. Building Application Servers is a practical guide to application server technology, explaining the theory of network computing and providing practical techniques that use these tools to produce effective business solutions. Rick Leander includes practical examples and program code that use UML, Java, RMI, and JDBC to illustrate design problems and programming techniques. The development framework offered spans a variety of platforms, vendors, and middleware architectures. Software developers who are familiar with traditional client/server technology but want to learn how to move to distributed client/server computing will find this book invaluable.
Mastering ENVY/Developer
This book is an in-depth exploration of ENVY/Developer, IBM's team programming environment for Smalltalk and Java. Written by well-known experts in the area, it presents both introductory and advanced topics with detailed examples. The first two parts of the book introduce the basics that a developer or development manager must know in order to use ENVY in a project setting, including the development process and the organization of applications. The third part covers advanced programming and customization, including detailed information on administering, troubleshooting, and extending the tools. This book covers VisualAge for Smalltalk, VisualWorks, and VisualAge Generator in detail. In addition, the concepts and management presented within the book apply to VisualAge for Java. Code examples, tools, and add-ons, are available on the supporting Web site.
The Routledge Handbook of Accounting for the Sustainable Development Goals
The introduction of Agenda 2030 and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has traced a path for private and public entities interested in pursuing sustainable development. This handbook identifies the recent challenges in accounting research and the SDGs by exploring the evolutionary pathways and future direction of sustainability reporting. It explores the role of businesses as contributors to Agenda 2030 by assuming a multidisciplinary approach and provides a measure of organisations' contributions to the SDGs through the understanding of business strategies and policies on Agenda 2030 integration. The book represents a substantial and multi-faceted contribution to the debate on SDGs...
Quantifying the Value of RFID and the EPCglobal Architecture Framework in Logistics
The “EPCglobal Architecture Framework” is currently the most accepted technical approach to the Internet of Things and provides a solid foundation for building Business-to-Business information networks based on unique identifications of ‘things’. Lately, the vision of the Internet of Things has been extended to a more holistic approach that integrates sensors as well as actuators and includes non-business stakeholders. A detailed look at the current state of the art in research concerning cost and benefit estimations is provided and the limits of Cost Benefit Sharing for RFID-based IT-infrastructures are explained. In this work a market driven evaluation based on sales potential of i...

Hardcore JFC
Hardcore JFC is a comprehensive guide to the functionality and practical use of the Java Foundations Classes (JFC), a component library designed for the Java programming language and operating environment. It presents intermediate and advanced techniques in exploiting the power and flexibility of JFC and the Swing component set. The book describes the inner workings of Swing and how its design principles can be used to add tremendous value to Java applications. The important features of JFC components are investigated thoroughly with a focus on the comprehension of fundamentals and the pragmatic application of advanced techniques. Included are concrete illustrations of how to enhance the JFC architecture: leveraging the 'Model/View/Controller' paradigm, customizing and developing new components and techniques for creating 'look and feel' user interface classes. Explanations of design and development techniques are introduced through effective, well-constructed and reusable example code.
