only the underlying areas from which internet technology derives its solutions, but also details the specific solutions to important applications on the World Wide Web. Foundations of Web Technology covers the basics of Web technology while being specialized enough to add value to experienced professionals working in this field. Most books on the Web focus on programmatic aspects of languages such as Java, JavaScript, or description of standards such as Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) or Wireless Markup Language (WML). A book that covers the concepts behind the infrastructure of the Web would be indispensable to a wide range of audiences interested in learning how the Web works, how techniques in Web technology can be applied to their own problem, and what the emergent technological trends in these areas are.Foundations of Web Technology ranges from fundamental areas such as information retrieval and data markup to applications such as web search, instant messaging, mobile access and web services. It assimilates the different technologies that make up the foundation of Web technology. After reading this book, one will be able to grasp the fundamental techniques that power the Web and be able to apply them practically towards building internet applications, in addition to gaining deep insight into the latest research in this relatively new field. Foundations of Web Technology will be useful for a number of years to come since Web technology has matured considerably, and the concepts discussed in this book will continue to be applied universally.Foundations of Web Technology is designed to meet the needs of practitioners and researchers in industry, and as a secondary text for upper undergraduate and graduate students in Computer Science and Engineering.  (less)

radio terminals are expected to be integrated in a number of devices such as personal computers, personal digital assistants, and even television sets. Such a wide-usage of radio mandates ongoing research to address design of networks with high capacity while providing acceptable quality of service.Included in Multiaccess, Mobility and Teletraffic for Wireless Communications: Volume 6 are new results on the optimization of protocols in third generation systems. The radio channel is dynamically shared among several users using packet access, it must adapt to a varying number of users and accomodate various services. Several chapters deal with radio resource management and packet access both in second and third generation systems. The book also considers the performance of low layer protocols (MAC/RLe and transport protocols (e.g., TCP) when they are combined to offer data services. IPv6 will probably be an in-use network protocol in the near future. It must efficiently manage mobility and support multimedia flows. Wireless internet is an important area and related topics are included in this book.The improvement of the network performance relies on a sophisticated and optimized physical layer. The book includes studies on joint multiple access detection, MIMO systems, use of turbo-codes and methods to improve the analysis of the channel capacity.The book also covers location management, handoff optimization, multi-hop networks and networkmanagement.Mobility and Teletraffic for Wireless Communications: Volume 6 is an important book for researchers, students and professionals working in the area of wireless communications and mobile computing.  (less)

those areas over the next one to three years. This Technology Forecast emphasizes the emergence of the mobile Internet—the use of handheld devices and wireless communications to access a variety of network-based services—whose impact during the next five years is expected to be as great as the Web's during the past five years. This Forecast analyzes the characteristics of "killer" applications for the mobile Internet and discusses the mobile applications already in use or likely to become available in the near future. The book covers the devices used to access the mobile Internet—both handheld computers with wireless network connectivity and Web-enabled mobile phone handsets—as well as other emerging computing platforms, such as consumer Internet access devices and digital set-top boxes for Internet-enhanced access to cable and satellite television. The Forecast provides extensive coverage of deployments in wireless communications networks, particularly second-and-a-half-generation networks, which provide always-on, packet-switched data communications capabilities, and third-generation networks, which will eventually provide high-bandwidth services to mobile subscribers. Our Forecast also discusses the wide variety of software needed to enable the mobile Internet, including Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) browsers and gateways, as well as alternatives to WAP; markup languages for the mobile Internet; wireless application servers; and software tools for creating location-based services. This Forecast also covers major developments in semiconductors and traditional computing platforms, including the release of new microprocessors based on Intel's IA-64 architecture and of new versions of Windows and Linux, all of which will allow low-end servers to increase their inroads into the enterprise computing market. The book goes on to consider the continued enhancement of wireline communications over both fiber optic and copper cabling, as well as the ongoing shift of carrier networks from circuit- switching to the Internet Protocol. Among the software trends discussed are the use of distributed component architectures, such as CORBA, Microsoft's COM+, and Sun's Java 2 Enterprise Edition, to build networked applications; the increased emphasis on enterprise application integration middleware as a means of linking packaged applications from multiple vendors; and the rise of enterprise information portals that provide a single point of access to an organization's knowledge resources.

topics such as wireless, infrastructure, Linux, and business-to-business./divDIVThe first edition of Investing in IPOs was hailed as desperately needed, long overdue, and packed with crucial information in the new Internet investment era. Since then the dazzlingly rapid pace of IPOs hasn't slowed. And now that more individuals have access to IPOs -- through banks, discount brokers, and the Internet -- there is an even greater demand for information for the individual investor.pTom Taulli's street-smart course on informed investing has now been revised and expanded. In this new edition, Taulli updates the Internet section to include cutting-edge new topics such as wireless, infrastructure, Linux, and business-to-business. He also explains some of the dangers of investing in 'Net IPOs, using recent examples such as Value America, Beyond.com, and theglobe.com.pIn version 2.0, investors will find an expanded Web resources section that covers the latest and greatest of the new IPO Web sites. They'll learn important after-market trading strategies -- and how to play after-market, quiet period, lock-ups, and intraday moves. Version 2.0 provides more extensive coverage of IPO mutual funds, and a new section looks at the most current developments of online distributions of IPOs. Taulli also sheds light on how firms distribute IPOs to investors -- and how would-be investors can boost their chances of getting in on hot new IPOs./div  (less)
