Leading Under Pressure
The inside story of Ian Foster's All Blacks 'A stunningly honest and insightful account of what it takes to coach the All Blacks.' - Gregor Paul Appointed as head coach 2019, Ian Foster led the All Blacks through one of the most tumultuous periods of the team's 120-year history. Leading Under Pressure is a fascinating look into the pressure cooker inner-sanctum of the world's most famous rugby team. With revelations about Foster's time in the job, it also delves into the politics of rugby, and the events preceding the dramatic 2023 Rugby World Cup.
Switching Codes
Half a century into the digital era, the profound impact of information technology on intellectual and cultural life is universally acknowledged but still poorly understood. The sheer complexity of the technology coupled with the rapid pace of change makes it increasingly difficult to establish common ground and to promote thoughtful discussion. Responding to this challenge, Switching Codes brings together leading American and European scholars, scientists, and artists—including Charles Bernstein, Ian Foster, Bruno Latour, Alan Liu, and Richard Powers—to consider how the precipitous growth of digital information and its associated technologies are transforming the ways we think and act. ...

Big Data and High Performance Computing
Big Data has been much in the news in recent years, and the advantages conferred by the collection and analysis of large datasets in fields such as marketing, medicine and finance have led to claims that almost any real world problem could be solved if sufficient data were available. This is of course a very simplistic view, and the usefulness of collecting, processing and storing large datasets must always be seen in terms of the communication, processing and storage capabilities of the computing platforms available. This book presents papers from the International Research Workshop, Advanced High Performance Computing Systems, held in Cetraro, Italy, in July 2014. The papers selected for p...
Grid and Cooperative Computing
The two-volume set LNCS 3032 and LNCS 3033 constitute the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Grid and Cooperative Computing, GCC 2003, held in Shanghai, China in December 2003. The 176 full papers and 173 poster papers presented were carefully selected from a total of over 550 paper submissions during two rounds of reviewing and revision. The papers are organized in topical sections on grid applications; peer-to-peer computing; grid architectures; grid middleware and toolkits; Web security and Web services; resource management, scheduling, and monitoring; network communication and information retrieval; grid QoS; algorithms, economic models, and theoretical models of the grid; semantic grid and knowledge grid; remote data access, storage, and sharing; and computer-supported cooperative work and cooperative middleware.
Innovations and Advanced Techniques in Systems, Computing Sciences and Software Engineering
Innovations and Advanced Techniques in Systems, Computing Sciences and Software Engineering includes a set of rigorously reviewed world-class manuscripts addressing and detailing state-of-the-art research projects in the areas of Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, and Systems Engineering and Sciences. Innovations and Advanced Techniques in Systems, Computing Sciences and Software Engineering includes selected papers form the conference proceedings of the International Conference on Systems, Computing Sciences and Software Engineering (SCSS 2007) which was part of the International Joint Conferences on Computer, Information and Systems Sciences and Engineering (CISSE 2007).
Computational Science - Iccs 2005
Annotation The three-volume set LNCS 3514-3516 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Computational Science, ICCS 2005, held in Atlanta, GA, USA in May 2005. The 464 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 834 submissions for the main conference and its 21 topical workshops. The papers span the whole range of computational science, ranging from numerical methods, algorithms, and computational kernels to programming environments, grids, networking, and tools. These fundamental contributions dealing with computer science methodologies and techniques are complemented by papers discussing computational applications and needs in virtually all scientific disciplines applying advanced computational methods and tools to achieve new discoveries with greater accuracy and speed.
