Computer Networks: 24th International Conference, CN 2017, Lądek Zdrój, Poland, June 20–23, 2017, Proceedings (Communications in Computer and Information Science #718)
by Piotr Gaj Andrzej Kwiecień Michał SawickiThe continuous and intensive development of computer science results in the fast progress of computer networks. Computer networks, as well as the entire computer science ?eld, are subject to regular changes caused by the general development of technology, and also the in?uence of new computer science te- nology. This progress refers to the methods as well as the tools of designing and modelingcomputernetworks. Particularly,therangeofusingcomputernetworks permanently is extended thanks to the results of new research and new app- cations, which were not even taken into consideration in the past. These new applications stimulate the development of scienti?c research, because the wider use of system solutions based on computer networks results in both theoretical and practical problems. This book is the evidence of the above considerations, with particular chapters referring to the broad spectrum of issues and problems. This book is the result of the research of scientists from many remarkable scienti?c research centers. It was created as a collection of articles presented during the 17th edition of the International Conference 'Computer Networks', which took place in Ustro? (Poland) during June 15-19, 2010. This conference, organized continuously since 1994 by the Institute of Informatics of Silesian University of Technology, is the oldest event of this kind organized in Poland, having an international status for three years. This year's edition like last year, took place under the auspices of IEEE Poland Section.

Computer Organization: Basic Processor Structure
by James Gil de Lamadrid<p>Computer Organization: Basic Processor Structure is a class-tested textbook, based on the author’s decades of teaching the topic to undergraduate and beginning graduate students. The main questions the book tries to answer are: how is a processor structured, and how does the processor function, in a general-purpose computer? <p>The book begins with a discussion of the interaction between hardware and software, and takes the reader through the process of getting a program to run. It starts with creating the software, compiling and assembling the software, loading it into memory, and running it. It then briefly explains how executing instructions results in operations in digit circuitry. The book next presents the mathematical basics required in the rest of the book, particularly, Boolean algebra, and the binary number system. <p>The basics of digital circuitry are discussed next, including the basics of combinatorial circuits and sequential circuits. The bus communication architecture, used in many computer systems, is also explored, along with a brief discussion on interfacing with peripheral devices. The first part of the book finishes with an overview of the RTL level of circuitry, along with a detailed discussion of machine language. <p>The second half of the book covers how to design a processor, and a relatively simple register-implicit machine is designed. ALSU design and computer arithmetic are discussed next, and the final two chapters discuss micro-controlled processors and a few advanced topics.</p>

Computer Performance Optimization: Systems - Applications - Processes
by Wolfgang W. OsterhageComputing power performance was important at times when hardware was still expensive, because hardware had to be put to the best use. Later on this criterion was no longer critical, since hardware had become inexpensive. Meanwhile, however, people have realized that performance again plays a significant role, because of the major drain on system resources involved in developing complex applications. This book distinguishes between three levels of performance optimization: the system level, application level and business processes level. On each, optimizations can be achieved and cost-cutting potentials can be identified. The book presents the relevant theoretical background and measuring methods as well as proposed solutions. An evaluation of network monitors and checklists rounds out the work.
