This book presents an incremental look at networked computer systems starting with digital logic and hardware, moving through the layers of software, and leading to an introduction to networking and operating systems. Its practical, modern approach draws upon areas of reader interest and experience (the Internet, Pentium processors, GUIs, mobile communications) to stimulate enthusiasm. This book uses Microsoft's Visual Developer Studio debugger (included on CD-ROM) to provide a brief experience with assembly language programming. This book features an introduction to networking since most computer systems today work in a networked environment. It takes a traditional bottom-up approach using applied technology and ideas, and treats digital logic in sufficient detail to remove the mystery of how computers work. Throughout, the author emphasizes how software performance can be dependent upon hardware features, while practical exercises demonstrate this aspect of hardware/software interaction. This book demonstrates to computer scientists and engineers how computers and their systems work, and will be especially useful for readers looking for a book covering networking issues in computer systems organization and architecture. /*@ISBN = 0-201-64859-8 @MAINCAT = Computer Hardware @SUBCAT = System Architecture @DATALINE1 = 2001, 680 pages, 7 1/4 x 9 1/8 @DATALINE2 = Cloth Bound w/CD-ROM, $84.00k*/

PRENTICE/HALL

An investigation into the kidnapping of an Atlanta waitress by the local police and the FBI becomes deadly while shadowy forces move with unimaginable arrogance below the radar. Humans yearn to know secrets; it's in our nature. An unlikely duo, a daughter of one of the wealthiest families and a relatively poor construction worker, stumble unto a secret society with the ability to shape world events. Like chess masters moving pieces across a board, members of this group position elements of the world as they implement a radical design planned over several centuries -an ultimate restructuring of the world. Just as the world isn't as it seems to be on the surface, people can be much more interesting if we look much deeper. Though worlds apart in education and privilege, Sam and Megan find that they are similar souls.

Real-Time Systems Development introduces computing students and professional programmers to the development of software for real-time applications. Based on the academic and commercial experience of the author, the book is an ideal companion to final year undergraduate options or MSc modules in the area of real-time systems design and implementation. Assuming a certain level of general systems design and programming experience, this text will extend students’ knowledge and skills into an area of computing which has increasing relevance in a modern world of telecommunications and ‘intelligent’ equipment using embedded microcontrollers. This book takes a broad, practical approach in discussing real-time systems. It covers topics such as basic input and output; cyclic executives for bare hardware; finite state machines; task communication and synchronization; input/output interfaces; structured design for real-time systems; designing for multitasking; UML for real-time systems; object oriented approach to real-time systems; selecting languages for RTS development; Linux device drivers; and hardware/software co-design. Programming examples using GNU/Linux are included, along with a supporting website containing slides; solutions to problems; and software examples. This book will appeal to advanced undergraduate Computer Science students; MSc students; and, undergraduate software engineering and electronic engineering students. * Concise treatment delivers material in manageable sections * Includes handy glossary, references and practical exercises based on familiar scenarios * Supporting website contains slides, solutions to problems and software examples
