This volume of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series contains all papers accepted for presentation at the 20th IFIP/IEEE International Workshop on Distributed Systems: Operations and Management (DSOM 2009), which was held in Venice, Italy, during October 27-28, 2009. DSOM 2009 was the 20th event in a series of annual workshops. It followed in the footsteps of previous successful meetings, the most recent of which were held on Samos, Greece (DSOM 2008), San Jos e, California, USA (DSOM 200...
Showing the reader how to use AppleScript in their own work and with their own applications, this book includes a disk with many example scripts that solve real-world problems, as well as a number of useful scriptable applications. The book is written for the AppleScript user, not for someone who specifically wishes to learn how to program. It covers many simple programming concepts, teaching the concepts through example or through the modification of scripts the user recorded. The book emphasis...
Openmp in the Era of Low Power Devices and Accelerators (Lecture Notes in Computer Science, #8122)
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Workshop on OpenMP, held in Canberra, Australia, in September 2013. The 14 technical full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from various submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on proposed extensions to OpenMP, applications, accelerators, scheduling, and tools.
Covering the BTEC unit, Microcomputer Systems, at Level 5, this book is suitable also for 2nd and 3rd-year degree students. It continues the concepts dealt with in the author's "Microprocessor-based Systems", but moves into the more powerful and dynamic architectures of systems such as reduced instruction set computers (RISC), parallel processing (transputers), arithmetic co-processors, and 32-bit microprocessors.

Memory Architecture and Parallel Access
by M. Goessel, B. Rebel, and R. Creutzburg
Researchers and engineers always need faster computers than the currently existing ones. However rapidly computer engineering may develop on an intemational scale, there are always important fields of application for which the performances of the currently existing computers are absolutely inadequate. This book covers the subject of memory systems that have the possibility of parallel accesses to windows consisting of several memory words each. In modem computer architecture the design of parall...
Multiple-Valued Logic (Synthesis Lectures on Digital Circuits and Systems)
by D. Michael Miller and Mitchell A Thornton
Multiple Valued Logic: Concepts and Representations begins with a survey of the use ofmultiple-valued logic in several modern application areas including electronic design automation algorithms and circuit design. The mathematical basis and concepts of various algebras and systems of multiple valued logic are provided including comparisons among various systems and examples of their application. The book also provides an examination of alternative representations of multiple-valued logic suitabl...
