Physically Based Rendering : From Theory to Implementation

"Physically Based Rendering : From Theory to Implementation" by Matt Pharr and Greg Humphreys
Morgan Kaufmann (August 4, 2004) | ISBN:012553180X | PDF (Author preview version) | 7 Mb | 1042 pages

Physically Based Rendering introduces the concepts and theory of photorealistic rendering hand in hand with the source code for a sophisticated renderer. By coupling the discussion of rendering algorithms with their implementations, Matt Pharr and Greg Humphreys are able to reveal many of the details and subtleties of these algorithms. But this book goes further; it also describes the design strategies involved with building real systems—there is much more to writing a good renderer than stringing together a set of fast algorithms. For example, techniques for high-quality antialiasing must be considered from the start, as they have implications throughout the system. The rendering system described in this book is itself highly readable, written in a style called literate programming that mixes text describing the system with the code that implements it. Literate programming gives a gentle introduction to working with programs of this size. This lucid pairing of text and code offers the most complete and in-depth book available for understanding, designing, and building physically realistic rendering systems.

Sharma Chakravarthy, Qingchun Jiang "Stream Data Processing: A Quality of Service Perspective: Modeling, Scheduling, Load Shedding, and Complex Event

Sharma Chakravarthy, Qingchun Jiang "Stream Data Processing: A Quality of Service Perspective: Modeling, Scheduling, Load Shedding, and Complex Event Processing (Advances in Database Systems)"
Springer | 2009-04-24 | ISBN: 0387710027 | 324 pages | PDF | 8,8 MB

Traditional database management systems, widely used today, are not well-suited for a class of emerging applications, such as computer network management, homeland security, sensor computing, and environmental monitoring. These applications need to continuously process large amounts of data coming in the form of a stream, and meet stringent response time requirements. Support for handling QoS metrics, such as response time, memory usage, and throughput, is central to any system proposed for the above applications.

Stream Data Processing: A Quality of Service Perspective (Modeling, Scheduling, Load Shedding, and Complex Event Processing), presents a new paradigm suitable for stream and complex event processing. This book covers a broad range of topics in stream data processing and includes detailed technical discussions of a number of proposed techniques.

This volume is intended as a textbook for graduate courses and as a reference book for researchers, advanced-level students in CS, and IT practitioners.

Computer Viruses: from theory to applications (Collection IRIS)

Computer Viruses: from theory to applications (Collection IRIS)
9782287239397 | (2287239391) | Springer | 2005 | 3 MB | RS | FF

This book deals with computer viruses envisaged from three different points of view, namely the theoretical fundamentals of computer virology, algorithmic and practical aspects of viruses and their potential applications to various areas. The theoretical formalization by means of Turing machines, self-reproducing automata and recursive functions enable a precise and exhaustive description of the different types of malware. It follows that the main stakes of computer defense and antiviral fighting are easily highlighted. Detailed analysis of the source code for representative members of each virus/worm family allows the reader to grasp the basic algorithmic aspects involved in self-reproducing codes. The C programming language has been systematically used for a better understanding of the considered codes.

The purpose of this book is to propose a teaching approach to understand what computer viruses1 really are and how they work. To do this, three aspects are covered ranging from theoretical fundamentals, to practical applications and technical features; fully detailed, commented source codes of viruses as well as inherent applications are proposed. So far, the applications-oriented aspects have hardly ever been addressed through the scarce existing literature devoted to computer viruses.

The obvious question that may come to the reader’s mind is: why did the author write on a topic which is likely to offend some people? The motivation is definitely not provocation; the original reason for writing this book comes from the following facts. For roughly a decade, it turns out that antiviral defense finds it more and more difficult to organize and quickly respond to viral attacks which took place during the last four years (remember the programs caused by the release of worms, such as Sapphire, Blaster or Sobig, for example). There is a growing feeling among users – and not to say among the general public – that worldwide attacks give antivirus developers too short a notice. Current viruses are capable of spreading substantially faster than antivirus companies can respond.

As a consequence, we can no longer afford to rely solely on antivirus programs to protect against viruses and the knowledge in the virus field is wholly in the hands of the antiviral community which is totally reluctant to share it. Moreover, the problems associated with antiviral defense are complex by nature, and technical books dedicated to viruses are scarce, which does not make the job easy for people interested in this ever changing field.

mprovements in System Safety: Proceedings of the Sixteenth Safety-critical Systems Symposium, Bristol, UK, 5-7 February 2008

Felix Redmill, Tom Anderson, "Improvements in System Safety: Proceedings of the Sixteenth Safety-critical Systems Symposium, Bristol, UK, 5-7 February 2008"
Springer | 2008-01-22 | ISBN: 1848000995 | 266 pages | PDF | 1,7 MB

Improvements in System Safety contains the full complement of papers presented at the sixteenth annual Safety-critical Systems Symposium, held at Bristol, UK, in February 2008.
The Symposium is for engineers, managers and academics in the field of safety, across all industry sectors, and so the papers included in this volume offer a wide-ranging coverage of major safety issues as well as a good blend of academic research and industrial experience. They include discussions of some of the most recent developments in the field.
The book begins with a tutorial examining the recent marked shift in the regulatory approach to ensuring software safety. Whereas compliance with development standards used to be norm, the responsibility has now shifted on to the developers and operators to construct and present well reasoned arguments that their software is acceptably safe (in a system context). These arguments, together with supporting evidence, are typically assembled, structured and presented in a software safety case. This tutorial is crucial to all involved in the discipline and an excellent introduction to the topics subsequently discussed.
The first paper reflects a tutorial on The Safety Case held on the first day of the Symposium. The subsequent 14 papers are presented under the headings of the Symposiums sessions: Themes Reprised from SSS 07; The Safety Case; Safety Culture; Human Factors; Achieving and Improving System Safety; Safety and Risk Analysis.
This book will be of interest to both academics and practitioners working in the safety-critical systems arena.

Terrorism and Global Security

Ann E. Robertson, "Terrorism and Global Security"
Facts on File | 2007-06 | ISBN: 081606766X | 408 pages | PDF | 1,6 MB

For most Americans, the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, are a watershed event, a turning point in how Americans think about their place in the world. Before 9/11, the United States suffered the occasional attack on its citizens abroad, but the homeland remained secure, and public safety focused on ordinary dangers such as crime, fire, flood, and influenza. After 9/11, new fears intruded on daily life, and Americans were now forced to face a clever enemy who could seemingly attack at any time, at any place. Just as earlier generations remember where they were when they learned of John F. Kennedy's assassination or the explosion of the Challenger space shuttle, 9/11 marks the moment American adolescents became aware of international events as well as the broader outlines of global security issues. The subsequent war on terrorism also dramatically changed the terms of a possible career in the military. Accurate and balanced, "Terrorism and Global Security" provides key information on the definition, causes, and goals of terrorism; the history of terrorism; the perpetrators and their backgrounds; counterterrorism; and the issues of balancing security and liberty. Separate case studies focus on the United States as well as the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Peru, and Colombia, examining how each has been affected by terrorism and comparing and contrasting the measures taken in response.

Television and Terror: Conflicting Times and the Crisis of News Discourse (New Security Challenges)

Andrew Hoskins, Ben O'Loughlin, "Television and Terror: Conflicting Times and the Crisis of News Discourse (New Security Challenges)"
Palgrave Macmillan | 2008-02-19 | ISBN: 0230002315 | 240 pages | PDF | 1,6 MB

The advent of the twenty-first century was marked by a succession of conflicts and catastrophes that demanded unrestrained journalism. Yet, the principle mass news medium of television has become torn between strategies of containment and the amplification of security threats. Hoskins and O'Loughlin demonstrate that television, tarnished by its economy of liveness and its default impositions of immediacy, brevity and simultaneity, fails to deliver a critical and consistent exposition adequate to our conflicting times.

Geomagnetics for Aeronautical Safety: A Case Study in and around the Balkans

Geomagnetics for Aeronautical Safety: A Case Study in and around the Balkans
Springer; 1 edition | August 16, 2006 | ISBN: 1402050240 | 363 pages | PDF | 14 Mb

A compass may save your life
Flying safely in aircraft implies the use of navigation instruments. Among them, the magnetic compass is still a first choice for orientation and it is compulsory in all aircraft. In our increasingly sophisticated but fragile world of global navigation systems and gyroscopic sensors, the compass is especially useful as a back-up: it has high reliability and is likely to survive in harsh electromagnetic aggressions or when all power supplies have failed.
How to use a compass correctly?
This book examines in detail how the science of geomagnetism is able to promote a correct use of the magnetic compass for navigation. A selected group of specialists met in Ohrid, Macedonia to expose their approaches to the question. Using techniques from Geology, Instrument science, Magnetism, Chaos theory and Potential Fields applied to the Balkan region and surroundings, they put together a roadmap to fully tackle the issue of measurement, analysis, mapping and forecasting of the magnetic declination in support of aeronautical safety.
Aircraft safety in the Balkans
The Balkans, like most regions on Earth, experience increasing air traffic. Yet several airplane crashes have been seen in the area some of them unexplained. The division of former Yugoslavia in the early nineties and the abandon of geomagnetic measurements in many parts of the area since then have left the compass users without reliable and uniform magnetic declination data. The Authors have therefore focused their expertise on the Balkan and surrounding countries, considering them as a good candidate for a case study.

Protecting Your Identity - A practical guide to preventing identity theft and its damaging consequences

Protecting Your Identity - A practical guide to preventing identity theft and its damaging consequencesMatthew Record ISBN: 1845282531 PDF 192 pages 2008 2 MBIdentity theft is the UK's fastest growing crime. It affects individuals, government departments and private sector organisations and is estimated already to be costing the UK economy around GBP 2 billion per annum.With just a few of your personal details, criminals can open bank accounts, claim benefits, obtain credit cards, loans and mortgages and apply for passports and driving licences - all in your name. They can also gain access to your existing accounts and if you become a victim, you may be blacklisted by financial providers until the situation is fully resolved.Reclaiming your identity and restoring your financial status can be lengthy, time consuming and emotionally draining. Your identity is an extremely valuable commodity that should be safeguarded at all times but many people are unaware about how to fully protect themselves.This book gives thorough, practical, help and advice about how to protect your identity. It contains valuable guidance on what to do if your identity is stolen, and where to get further assistance. AUTHOR BIOG: Matthew Record is an experienced media researcher and successful author. He was driven to research the subject of identity theft to protect himself and his family from what has quickly become the UK's fastest growing crime. During his research he realised that there was not a single comprehensive source to find out about what identity theft is, how to protect yourself or what to do if you become a victim. His book seeks to address the balance by providing a comprehensive and practical guide to protecting you from identity theft and its damaging consequences.

Water Supply in Emergency Situations

Water Supply in Emergency Situations
Springer; 1 edition | June 25, 2007 | ISBN: 1402063032 | 173 pages | PDF | 8 Mb

Water is essential for life and the trigger for this book is in the increasing threats to uninterrupted, good quality water to large concentrations of population, which include natural and manmade, the latter including accidental and, unfortunately, also intentional. Israel in particular is aware of the risks of terror, including to its water supply and it is not surprising that the initiative for a NATO workshop, the outcome of which is presented here, came from this country.

This book reflects the outcome of a three day NATO Advanced Workshop entitled 'Supply of Water to Cities in Emergency Situations' organized by ICTAF at Tel-Aviv University and The University of Thessaly, Department of Planning and Regional Development and sponsored by the NATO Security through Science programme. Some 35 experts from 14 countries from Europe, the Middle East and Asia assembled in Tel-Aviv for this event.

The 20 papers presented and the discussions which took place throughout the workshop illuminate a broad spectrum of problems and of concerns to the orderly water supply in the different participating countries ranging from floods, through contamination due to deteriorated infrastructure and to a surprisingly low concern related to intentional terror-related threats. We find insufficient preparedness in many countries to cope with severe disruption of water supply.

We expect publicity and discussion to raise the level of awareness of relevant decision makers worldwide to this essential issue and to encourage development and implementation of procedures and means for combating the threat.

Biological Threats and Terrorism: Assessing the Science and Response Capabilities, Workshop Summary

Stacey L. Knobler, Adel A.F. Mahmoud - Biological Threats and Terrorism:
Assessing the Science and Response Capabilities, Workshop Summary
National Academies Press | 2002 | ISBN: 0309082536 | Pages: 317 | PDF | 5.88 MB

In the wake of September 11th and recent anthrax events, our nation’s bioterrorism response capability has become an imminent priority for policymakers, researchers, public health officials, academia, and the private sector. In a three-day workshop, convened by the Institute of Medicine’s Forum on Emerging Infections, experts from each of these communities came together to identify, clarify, and prioritize the next steps that need to be taken in order to prepare and strengthen bioterrorism response capabilities. From the discussions, it became clear that of utmost urgency is the need to cast the issue of a response in an appropriate framework in order to attract the attention of Congress and the public in order to garner sufficient and sustainable support for such initiatives. No matter how the issue is cast, numerous workshop participants agreed that there are many gaps in the public health infrastructure and countermeasure capabilities that must be prioritized and addressed in order to assure a rapid and effective response to another bioterrorist attack.
