Highlighting a range of pertinent topics such as utility computing, computer security, and information systems applications, this multi-volume book is ideally designed for academicians, researchers, students, web designers, software developers, and practitioners interested in computer systems and software engineering.
Portals present unique strategic challenges in the academic environment. Their conceptualization and design requires the input of campus constituents who seldom interact and whose interests are often opposite. The implementation of a portal requires a coordination of applications and databases controlled by different campus units at a level that may never before have been attempted at the institution. Building a portal is as much about constructing intra-campus bridges as it is about user interfaces and content. Designing Portals: Opportunities and Challenges discusses the current status of portals in higher education by providing insight into the role portals play in an institution's business and educational strategy, by taking the reader through the processes of conceptualization, design, and implementation of the portals (in different stages of development) at major universities and by offering insight from three producers of portal software systems in use at institutions of higher learning and elsewhere.

Communication is one of the main activities in software projects, many such projects fail or encounter serious problems because the stakeholders involved have different understandings of the problem domain and/or they use different terminologies. Ontologies can help to mitigate these communication problems. Calero and her coeditors mainly cover two applications of ontologies in software engineering and software techonology: sharing knowledge of the problem domain and using a common terminology among all stakeholders; and filtering the knowledge when defining models and metamodels. The editors structured the contributions into three parts: first, a detailed introduction into the use of ontolo...

Los avances tecnológicos han propiciado la aparición de nuevas palabras, la mayor parte de ellas anglicismos, que es preciso conocer para poder manejarnos simplemente en el mundo que nos ha tocado vivir. Otras veces no son nuevas palabras, sino algunas ya existentes pero a las que se cambia de significado, lo cual muchas veces dificulta aún más su comprensión. Las leyes que regulan estos nuevos hechos suelen incluir un artículo o un anexo en los que se incorporan las definiciones de una serie de palabras que son usadas en la misma ley y cuyo alcance sólo repercute en ésta. De ahí la importancia que tiene que las conozcamos. En este vocabulario español actualizado, los autores han i...
