Index. 64 figures in text. TECHNICAL. A dedcated community of software engineering reserachers and practitioners have wrestled with the challenges of introducing systematic reuse in large-scale software development. Successful systematic reuse relies on a set of learning disciplines that can transform IT-intensive groups and companies into knowledge creating organizations. In this book, four experts with broad experience in reuse research, methods, technolgies, and practice present a unique approach to resuse assessment and adoption. LIBRA offers a radically new, inquiry-based approach, grounded in practical techniqus for assesssing an organization's readiness for reuse, as well as potential barriers. These techniques integrate reuse concepts with a diverse set of other disciplines, including organizational learning, dramatic theory, and belief mapping to affirm the critical role of culture, belief, and attitude in engineering success. LIBRA is essential reading for software project managers, strategic planners, CTOs and technology transfer agents, or working software engineers; and especially any advocate attempting to introduce reuse practices within an IT-intensive business setting. ; 9" Tall; 202 pages . more information

TECHNICAL / PHOTOGRAPHY. This book was produced when phototypography (the replacement of hot metal type by "cold" photographic type) was still relatively new. The book had a duel purpose: 1) to help the employer make the right choice in equipment, to purchase it in the most economical way and to assist in the photographic darkroom layout and 2) to help the employee in his retraining period and to take much of the mystery out of the new phototypographic process for all. This manual is profusely illustated and is strictly a 'how-to' and 'why-it-does-it' manual which contains knowledge that cannot be found anywhere else and which could only be learned otherwise through extensive research or schooling. The book is entirely devoted to the typographer; by refrainng from high level technical descriptions, it was possible to combine, in this one easy-to-read volume, the basic explanations of all the special effects one may encouter as a phototypographer. ; 8-3/4" Tall; 155 pages . more information

COMPUTERS. The goal of this book is to give you a fuller, more complete understanding of the philosophy behind Java, not just the mechanics of the language. Throughout the book these principles and practices are illustated with extensive examples from the Java standard library. Here you can learn, for example, the many design patterns that are found in the AWT, the multitude of purposes for which inheritance is used in the standard classes, and why there are 22 different types of input/output file streams. Here you can discover why the lack of an ordered container class in the standard library is not a simple omission, but is instead a reflection of a fundamental and deep property of the Java language. In short, this book should not be considered a reference manual for the Java langauge, but rather a tool for understandi ng the Java philosophy. ; 7-3/8 x 9-1/8"; 367 pages . more information

TECHNICAL. "...ATM switches are much more than a switching fabric that transfers cells from its inputs to its outputs. This book examines ATM switches as a SYSTEM (in which the fabric is one component) containing control and management functions. Surprisingly, the relationship between ATM switching and network control has not been examined previously in depth, and we believe this has limited the understanding in both areas. The objective of this monograph is to relate the two areas in a common theoretical framework by developing a general ATM switching system model. The switch model is functional and not specific to any implementation. It is intended to facilitate the study of the impact of signaling, operations and maintenance, network management, and traffic control in the switching system design and performance.
