Service-oriented Architecture Compass
Providing a foundation for enterprise architects on the principles of service-oriented architecture, this text offers guidance on how to begin transitioning an IT infrastructure toward the SOA model, an operation tightly integrated into business processes and operations.
Executing SOA
The Expert, Practical Guide to Succeeding with SOA in the Enterprise In Executing SOA, four experienced SOA implementers share realistic, proven, “from-the-trenches” guidance for successfully delivering on even the largest and most complex SOA initiative. This book follows up where the authors’ best-selling Service-Oriented Architecture Compass left off, showing how to overcome key obstacles to successful SOA implementation and identifying best practices for all facets of execution—technical, organizational, and human. Among the issues it addresses: introducing a services discipline that supports collaboration and information process sharing; integrating services with preexisting tec...
Geography of Hope
In Geography of Hope, French sociologist and historian Pierre Birnbaum examines the work of the some of the prominent Jewish social scientists of the past two centuries in order to analyze their range of responses to the tensions between the Enlightenment call for universalism and the reality of Jewish particularism.
Peer-to-Peer, Grid, and Service-Orientation in Digital Library Architectures
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 6th Thematic Workshop of the EU Network of Excellence DELOS on Digital Library Architectures, held in Cagliari, Italy, in June 2004. The 15 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed. The subjects covered include: service grids for scientific applications, distributed digital libraries, grid computing, peer-to-peer networks, service oriented architectures for digital libraries, a distributed digital library for support of community radios, multimedia management and search, query trading and processing, metadata management, retrieval functionality, and personalization services.

Analysis and Interpretation of Range Images
Computer vision researchers have been frustrated in their attempts to automatically derive depth information from conventional two-dimensional intensity images. Research on "shape from texture", "shape from shading", and "shape from focus" is still in a laboratory stage and had not seen much use in commercial machine vision systems. A range image or a depth map contains explicit information about the distance from the sensor to the object surfaces within the field of view in the scene. Information about "surface geometry" which is important for, say, three-dimensional object recognition is more easily extracted from "2 1/2 D" range images than from "2D" intensity images. As a result, both ac...

Mastering XMI
Create more powerful, flexible applications using a new extension of the XML standard Programmers are finding that the XMI extension of the XML standard provides a lot more flexibility in writing software for sharing data. Written by one of the principal authors of XMI, this book provides programmers with everything they need to know to best utilize this extension. The authors cover the basics first, detailing the essential concepts and explaining how XMI relates to XML and UML. Readers will then learn how to program with XMI, including how to express data in XMI, create XMI documents with Java, and merge documents. Samples of real-world XMI applications are also included throughout the book that show how IBM is using XMI with data warehousing and how to convert simple relational databases into XMI. CD-ROM includes sample XMI source code and software tools for developing XMI and XML applications.
Connectionist Models and Their Implications
This volume includes a number of articles, some of which have previously appeared in Cognitive Science. The contributions as a whole present a fair sample of the late-1980s research and practice in connectionist models.
