Computers

Microcomputer Engineering, Third Edition by Gene H. Miller (Pearson Prentice Hall) Microcomputer Engineering is a complete course-teaching aid that encourages hands-on laboratory work. The exercises in this third edition have been greatly expanded and im­proved. Using the Motorola 68HC11 single-chip microcomputer/microprocessor as the hardware example, this second edition textbook covers the material necessary for students studying engineering and related disciplines in a first microcomputers course. Machine language, assembly language, and system design are discussed. An associated website at www.prenhall.com supports the text material. More

Signal Integrity Issues and Printed Circuit Board Design by Douglas Brooks (Pearson Prentice Hall PTR) Finally, an easy to read guide for practicing engineers involved in Printed Circuit Board design and the signal integrity issues involved. Renowned engineer, author, and seminar leader Douglas Brooks teaches PCB designers how to successfully design boards for any high-speed application. Brooks begins with an easy-to-understand electronics primer for every PCB designer, then offers practical, real-world solutions for every important signal-integrity problem. Based on his legendary seminars, this book offers even more design rules, specific recommendations, examples, illustrations, and diagrams. More

Computer Sciences edited by Roger R. Flynn (MacMillian Science Library: Macmillian Reference USA, Thomson Gale) Designed as an accessible first-stop reference for high school students and general readers, this four-volume reference divides the subject into four main themes: foundations--ideas and people; software and hardware; social applications; and the "electronic universe" (the Internet, banking, books, publishing, information access and overload, ethics, encryption...). Contributed by 125 authors with various areas of expertise, 286 signed, alphabetically arranged articles of a few pages or more are presented with cross references and bibliographic and/or internet resources for further investigation. The deliberately non-intimidating page design incorporates sidebars, definitions, and b&w illustrations. Each volume devotes about 60 pages (20 percent) to a glossary and index; the fourth volume contains a cumulative index. More

The Compiler Design Handbook: Optimizations & Machine Code Generation by Y. N. Srikant, Priti Shankar (CRC Press) The first up to date handbook for advanced compiler optimizations and code generation, Features chapters contributed by leading experts and active researchers in the field.
The widespread use of object-oriented languages and Internet security concerns are just the beginning. Add embedded systems, multiple memory banks, highly pipelined units operating in parallel, and a host of other advances and it becomes clear that current and future computer architectures pose immense challenges to compiler designers-challenges that already exceed the capabilities of traditional compilation techniques.

Embedded Systems and Computer Architecture by Graham, R. Wilson (Newnes) Designed as an introduction to microprocessors and computer architecture for an electronics undergraduate or HND/C course. A practical design-oriented approach. A core text for modules on microprocessors, embedded systems and computer architecture -A practical design-orientated approach -FREE CD-ROM features a unique microprocessor simulator This book has been designed as an introduction to microprocessors and computer architecture for an electronics undergraduate or HND/C course. It differs from other books available in that it uses a design-orientated approach rather than a purely descriptive style dedicated to a particular commercial microprocessor.  More

Networking

Mesh-based Survivable Transport Networks: Options and Strategies for Optical, MPLS, SONET and ATM Networking by Wayne D. Grover (Prentice Hall PTR )"Internet hindered by severed cable." "Internet chaos continues today... " "Cable break disrupts Internet in several countries. " "Calling and major businesses down from cable cut. "
These are headlines arising in just one month from fiber optic cable disruptions. Despite the enormous advantages of fiber optics and wave-division multiplexing, the truth is that the information economy-fueled by fiber-optic capacity-is based on a surprisingly vulnerable physical medium. Every effort can be made to protect the relatively few thumb-sized cables on which our information society is built, but the cable-cuts and other disruptions just don't stop. From deep-sea shark bites to the fabled "backhoe fade," serious transmission outages are com­mon and of increasing impact. Some form of fast rerouting at the network level has become essential to achieve the "always on" information networks that we depend upon. More

Internet

Understanding the Web: The Social, Political, and Economic Dimensions of the Internet by Alan B. Albarran & David H. Goff (Iowa State Press) describes the growth and development of the World Wide Web as a communications medium since its inception and examines the Web's powerful influences or its effects on society. Now available in paperback, this groundbreaking book for students, teachers, and all those interested in the World Wide Web examines the impact that the Web has on the way the world works, lives, plays, and spends. More

Online! The Book by John C. Dvorak, Chris Pirillo, & Wendy Taylor (Prentice Hall PTR) The Web is packed with great sites readers haven't discovered – great tools readers haven't tried, great things they haven't done, but that's about to change. More

Society Online: The Internet in Context edited by Steve Jones & Philip N. Howard (Sage Publications) Within the developed world, much of society experiences political, economic, and cultural life through a set of communication technologies barely older than many citizens. Society Online examines how new media technologies have not simply diffused across society, but how they have rapidly and deeply become embedded in our organizations and institutions. More
