Workflow technology has emerged as an eminent way to support scientific computing nowadays. Supported by mature technological infrastructures such as web services and high performance computing infrastructure, workflow technology has been well adopted by scientific community as it offers an effective framework to prototype, modify and manage…

The demand for graduates with exposure in Cloud Computing is on the rise. For many educational institutions, the challenge is to decide on how to incorporate appropriate cloud-based technologies into their curricula. In this paper, we describe our design and experiences of integrating Cloud Computing components into seven third/fourth-year…

Hamilton, Jr.); (2) Semantic Annotation of Stock Photography for CBIR Using MPEG-7 standards (R. Balasubramani and V. Kannan); (3) An Experimental Study…

The aim of this book is to interest young people from the ages of ten to fourteen in computers, particularly to show them that computers are exciting machines, controlled by people, and to dispel myths that computers can do magic. This is not a detailed exposition of computers, nor is it a textbook. It is an attempt to impart flavor and general…

Electronic systems of the future are bound to be larger, faster, and more reliable. They will furnish management with uninterrupted services in a real-time mode for practically all applications. In short, they will provide computing power as a utility company of today provides electric power. But the most spectacular advance is likely to be the…

This directory provides comprehensive information pertinent to data processing education. The annotated listings describe manufacturers, trade associations, publications, training aids, and schools. Each entry includes price and availability information, correspondence information, and a short description. Over 2500 computer terms are presented in…

These instructional materials are intended as a guide for the instructor of a block course in introductory vocational data processing. A textbook and supplementary materials of the instructor's choice would probably be used in conjunction with these materials. Topics covered in the 11 units are background and uses of data processing, input/output…

Multivariable queries can be processed in the data base management system INGRES. The general procedure is to decompose the query into a sequence of one-variable queries using two processes. One process is reduction which requires breaking off components of the query which are joined to it by a single variable. The other process,…

Supplying data from mainframe computers to microcomputers is tedious because IBM mainframe computers use Extended Binary-Coded Decimal Interchange Code (EBCDIC) to represent data and microcomputers use an American National Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) code set. (MLF)
