Scalability Patterns: Best Practices for Designing High Volume Websites
by Chander DhallIn this book, the CEO of Cazton, Inc. and internationally-acclaimed speaker, Chander Dhall, demonstrates current website design scalability patterns and takes a pragmatic approach to explaining their pros and cons to show you how to select the appropriate pattern for your site. He then tests the patterns by deliberately forcing them to fail and exposing potential flaws before discussing how to design the optimal pattern to match your scale requirements. The author explains the use of polyglot programming and how to match the right patterns to your business needs. He also details several No-SQL patterns and explains the fundamentals of different paradigms of No-SQL by showing complementary strategies of using them along with relational databases to achieve the best results. He also teaches how to make the scalability pattern work with a real-world microservices pattern. With the proliferation of countless electronic devices and the ever growing number of Internet users, the scalability of websites has become an increasingly important challenge. Scalability, even though highly coveted, may not be so easy to achieve. Think that you can't attain responsiveness along with scalability? Chander Dhall will demonstrate that, in fact, they go hand in hand.What You'll LearnArchitect and develop applications so that they are easy to scale. Learn different scaling and partitioning options and the combinations. Learn techniques to speed up responsiveness. Deep dive into caching, column-family databases, document databases, search engines and RDBMS. Learn scalability and responsiveness concepts that are usually ignored.Effectively balance scalability, performance, responsiveness, and availability while minimizing downtime.Who This Book Is ForExecutives (CXOs), software architects , developers, and IT Pros

Schutz Kritischer Infrastrukturen im Verkehr: Security Engineering als ganzheitlicher Ansatz (essentials)
by Lars SchniederVerkehrsinfrastrukturen sind ein Rückgrat unserer Gesellschaft. Dieses essential beantwortet die Frage, was unter einer Kritischen Verkehrsinfrastruktur zu verstehen ist. IT-Systeme sind für die effektive Steuerung Kritischer Verkehrsinfrastrukturen elementar. Deshalb sind diese besonders gegen unberechtigte Zugriffe von außen zu schützen. Die Motivation zur Absicherung Kritischer Verkehrsinfrastrukturen wird aus geltenden rechtlichen Sicherheitspflichten heraus begründet. In Anlehnung an den in der Praxis seit Langem bewährten europäischen Rechtsrahmen der Produktsicherheit werden die einzelnen aufeinander bezogenen Glieder einer Qualitätssicherungskette für die Absicherung der IT-Sicherheit Kritischer Verkehrsinfrastrukturen dargestellt. Mit dem Gestaltungsparadigma der tiefgestaffelten Verteidigung (defense in depth) werden konkrete Handlungsoptionen für die organisatorische und systemtechnische Ausgestaltung des Schutzes Kritischer Verkehrsinfrastrukturen aufgezeigt.Der AutorDr.-Ing. Lars Schnieder verantwortet in einer Software-Entwicklungsfirma das Geschäftsfeld Sicherheitsbegutachtung. Er ist international als anerkannter Sachverständiger für Zugsicherungsanlagen tätig.

Scientific Knowledge Communication in Museums (Research For Development Ser.)
by Alberto Rovetta Edoardo RovidaThis book explains the general principles of scientific and technical communication in the context of modern museums. It also examines, with the aid of informative case studies, the different means by which knowledge can be transmitted, including posters, objects, explanatory guidance, documentation, and catalogues. Highlighting the ever more important role of multimedia and virtual reality components in communicating understanding of and facilitating interaction with the displayed object, it explores how network communications systems and algorithms can be applied to offer individual users the information that is most pertinent to them. The book is supported by a Dynamic Museums app connected to museum databases where series of objects can be viewed via cloud computing and the Internet and printed using 3D printing technology. This book is of interest to a diverse readership, including all those who are responsible for museums’ collections, operations, and communications as well as those delivering or participating in courses on museums and their use, communication design and related topics.

Second Handbook of Information Technology in Primary and Secondary Education
by Joke Voogt Gerald Knezek Rhonda Christensen Kwok-Wing LaiIn this second edition the editors continue their efforts to synthesize research and practice and project future directions in the field of information and communication technology. The proliferation of mobile devices and applications have had major implications on how the nature of teaching and learning should be conceptualised, and what pedagogical practices should be used to support bridging formal and informal learning. The advent of social media also highlights the importance of gaining a deeper understanding of social learning theories and computer-supported collaborative learning theories and practices. The advancement of new technologies to support easy accessibility of educational resources such as OER and to a lesser extent MOOCs have led to the debate on how assessment should be conducted and how technologies could be used to support it. The demand of the knowledge society requires that researchers, policy makers, and educational practitioners be conversant with new research findings in order to understand the impact of ICT in teaching and learning, and how to support learners to use new technologies and applications creatively and effectively. New research paradigms have emerged to meet these challenges.
The Second Quantum Revolution: From Entanglement to Quantum Computing and Other Super-Technologies
by Lars JaegerThis book tells the story of the second quantum revolution which will shape the 21st century as much as the first quantum revolution shaped the 20th century. It provides unique orientation in today's discussion and the latest progress on the interpretation of quantum physics and its further technological potential. As you read this book the first prototypes of this revolution are being built in laboratories worldwide. Super-technologies such as nanotechnology, quantum computers, quantum information processing, and others will soon shape our daily lives, even if physicists themselves continue to disagree on how to interpret the central theory of modern physics. The book will thus also touch on the profound philosophical questions at the heart of quantum mechanics.
