Product DescriptionnWritten for application component developers who are building Connector architecture applications, explaining how to connect applications not only to one another but also to a multitude of EISs and legacy systems. Softcover. nnFrom the Back CovernnnThe Java? 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) platform connector architecture is the key component in Java's support for enterprise application integration (EAI) and for linking enterprise information systems (EISs) with Web services. Because many services are now provided through the Web, it is essential that business enterprises have an efficient EAI solution. J2EE? Connector Architecture and Enterprise Application Integration is the definitive guide to showing enterprise organizations how to incorporate existing enterprise infrastructure and applications, taking them into the Web-enabled economy of the future.nnWritten for application component developers who are building Connector architecture applications, J2EE? Connector Architecture and Enterprise Application Integration explains how to connect applications not only to one another but also to a multitude of EISs and legacy systems. This book is also of interest to independent software developers (ISVs) and others who develop resource adapters for specific EISs. Readers will learn how to link underlying infrastructure products with J2EE application server and platform technologies. nn0201775808B11052001

Garcia-Molina, Hector: Database System Implementation
Book Number: 46165
Prentice Hall 2000 8vo softcover 653pp index, b/w illus. very good. Product DescriptionnThree well-known computer scientists at Stanford University-Hector Garcia-Molina, Jeffrey D. Ullman, and Jennifer Widom-have written one of the most comprehensive books on database system implementation. Hector Garcia- Molina pioneered this book at Stanford as a second database systems course for computer science majors and industry-based professionals. It focuses on the implementation of database systems, including storage structures, query processing, and transaction management. Database System Implementation is valuable as an academic textbook or a professional reference. Noteworthy Features *Provides extensive coverage of query processing, including major algorithms for execution of queries and techniques for optimizing queries *Covers information integration, including warehousing and mediators, OLAP, and data-cube systems *Explains error-correction in RAID disks and covers bitmap indexes, data mining, data statistics, and pointer swizzling *Supports additional teaching materials found on the book's Web page at http://www-db.stanford.edu/-html *For college courses Prentice Hall offers a two-book package discount with A First Course in Database Systems and Database System Implementation This text covers a broad spectrum of knowledge and technology. This carefully class-tested, highly readable presentation provides students or professionals with the next level of study. Written from the point of view of the database designer, user, and application programmer, this book provides practical advice from well-know experts on how to implement state-of-the-art database systems. nnFrom the Inside FlapnPreface nnThis book was designed for CS245, the second course in the database sequence at Stanford. Here, the first database course, CS145, covers database design and programming, for which the book A First Course in Database Systems by Jeff Ullman and Jennifer Widom, Prentice-Hall, 1997, was written. The CS245 course then covers implementation of a DBMS, notably storage structures, query processing, and transaction management. Use of the Book nnWe're on a quarter system at Stanford, so the principal course using this book - CS245 - is only ten weeks long. In the Winter of 1999, Hector Garcia-Molina used a "beta" version of this book, and covered the following parts: Sections 2.1-2.4, all of Chapters 3 and 4, Sections 5.1 and 5.2, Sections 6.1--6.7, Sections 7.1-7.4, all of Chapter 8, Chapter 9 except for Section 9.8, Sections 10.1-10.3, Section 11.1, and Section 11.5. nnThe balance of Chapters 6 and 7 (query optimization) is covered in an advanced course, CS346, where students implement their own DBMS. Other portions of the book that are not covered in CS245 may appear in another advanced course, CS347, which talks about distributed databases and advanced transaction processing. nnSchools that are on the semester system have the opportunity to combine the use of this book with its predecessor: A First Course in Database Systems. We recommend using that book in the first semester, coupled with a database-application programming project. The second semester could cover most or all of the content of this book. An advantage to splitting the study of databases into two courses is that students not planning to specialize in DBMS construction can take only the first course and be able to use databases in whatever branch of Computer Science they enter. Prerequisites nnThe course on which the book is based is rarely taken before the senior year, so we expect the reader to have a fairly broad background in the traditional areas of Computer Science. We assume that the reader has learned something about database programming, especially SQL. It is helpful to know about relational algebra and to have some familiarity with basic data structures. Likewise, some knowledge of file systems and operating systems is useful. Exercises nnThe book contains extensive exercises, with some for almost every s

Howes, Timothy A.: Understanding and Deploying LDAP Directory Services
Book Number: 46169
Addison-Wesley Professional 2005 8vo hardcover 899pp index, b/w illus. very good. Product DescriptionnLightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is the standard for directory information access and is the underlying protocol for a variety of email systems, Web systems, and enterprise applications. LDAP enables central management of users, groups, devices, and other data, thereby simplifying directory management and reducing the total cost of ownership. Understanding and Deploying LDAP Directory Services, written by the creators of the protocol, is known as the LDAP bible and is the classic text for learning about LDAP and how to utilize it effectively. The Second Edition builds on this success by acting as an exhaustive resource for designing, deploying, and maintaining LDAP directory services. Topics such as implementation pitfalls, establishing and maintaining user access to information, troubleshooting, and real-world scenarios will be thoroughly explored.

Preparing for the examination is a major effort because it requires a thorough understanding of the topics contained in the Common Body of Knowledge (CBK) for the field as specified in the Generally Accepted Systems Security Principles (GASSP). The handbook is one of the most important references used by candidates preparing for the exam.The Information Security Management Handbook maps the ten domains of the Common Body of Knowledge tested on the certification examination: access control issues and methodology, telecommunications and network security, security management practices, applications and systems development security, cryptography, security architecture and models, operations security, business continuity planning and disaster recovery planning, law, investigations, and ethics, and physical security. The Information Security Management Handbook is a "must have" book, whether you're preparing for the CISSP exam or need a comprehensive, up-to-date reference, or both.
