Mosaic - the exciting Internet tool - is now used by more than a million people to access the Internet from their PC. This book shows how to do it, explaining every step of getting on the Internet, retrieving Mosaic (it's free), and using it live on the Internet. Text, maps, art, satellite photos, even Windows-compatible music and video are there for the downloading.

Digital libraries (DLs) have introduced new technologies, as well as leveraging, enhancing, and integrating related technologies, since the early 1990s. These efforts have been enriched through a formal approach, e.g., the 5S (Societies, Scenarios, Spaces, Structures, Streams) framework, which is discussed in two earlier volumes in this series. This volume should help advance work not only in DLs, but also in the WWW and other information systems. Drawing upon four (Kozievitch, Murthy, Park, Ya...

Fuzzy Database Modeling with XML aims to provide a single record of current research and practical applications in the fuzzy databases. This volume is the outgrowth of research the author has conducted in recent years. Fuzzy Database Modeling with XML introduces state-of-the-art information to the database research, while at the same time serving the information technology professional faced with a non-traditional application that defeats conventional approaches. The research on fuzzy conceptual...

This book has two main goals: to define data science through the work of data scientists and their results, namely data products, while simultaneously providing the reader with relevant lessons learned from applied data science projects at the intersection of academia and industry. As such, it is not a replacement for a classical textbook (i.e., it does not elaborate on fundamentals of methods and principles described elsewhere), but systematically highlights the connection between theory, on...

In this cutting-edge anthology, contributors examine the diverse ways in which girls and young women across a variety of ethnic, socio-economic, and national backgounds use digital technology in their everyday lives. They explore identity development, how young women interact with technology, and how race, class, and identity influence game play.

This book presents a new object-oriented methodology called Tabular Application Development (TAD), which offers a unique approach to the subject of Business Process Reengineering and Information Systems Development. The methodology discussed first translates the information about the behavior of the system into different tables, and then uses the information collected in the tables to develop the information system. In addition to this, the methodology covers Business Process Reengineering.

Proceedings of SPIE present the original research papers presented at SPIE conferences and other high-quality conferences in the broad-ranging fields of optics and photonics. These books provide prompt access to the latest innovations in research and technology in their respective fields. Proceedings of SPIE are among the most cited references in patent literature.

Life science data integration and interoperability is one of the most challenging problems facing bioinformatics today. In the current age of the life sciences, investigators have to interpret many types of information from a variety of sources: lab instruments, public databases, gene expression profiles, raw sequence traces, single nucleotide polymorphisms, chemical screening data, proteomic data, putative metabolic pathway models, and many others. Unfortunately, scientists are not currently a...

Systemtechnik ("systems engineering") verallgemeinert Konzepte bzw. Methoden der Ingenieurwissenschaften und stellt damit Instrumente für die Lösung interdisziplinärer, komplexer Probleme bereit. Systematische Vorgehensweisen erlauben die sinnvolle Gliederung technisch-organisatorischer Projekte. Es werden die Systemdefinitionen und Strukturkonzepte allgemeingültig dargestellt als Basis für interdisziplinäre Ansätze. Die Anwendungsbereiche entstammen den Ingenieurwissenschaften (Informationsvera...
