FORTIFY is intended to be an instructional guide for corporate leaders who are responsible for the development of a Strategic Information Systems Plan (SISP). A plan that integrates the business and technology needs of their small to medium sized enterprise. Alignment of these needs is essential for the organization to achieve optimum revenue growth and maximize operating efficiencies.
FORTIFY is designed for corporate leaders of all disciplines who strive to improve their organization’s planning practices. The intended audience needs to understand basic business operation principals and return on investment concepts.
FORTIFY outlines best practices for the creation of a SISP and helps corporate leaders recognize the benefits of aligning the Business Objectives with Information Technology Systems (ITS) projects. Often these two processes are developed independently resulting in resource inefficiencies.

The material in all four guides is extremely dry, begging fo… More >>

The Internet Challenge: Technology and Applications

Embedded systems are becoming one of the major driving forces in computer science. Furthermore, it is the impact of embedded information technology that dictates the pace in most engineering domains. Nearly all technical products above a certain level of complexity are not only controlled but increasingly even dominated by their embedded computer systems.
Traditionally, such embedded control systems have been implemented in a monolithic, centralized way. Recently, distributed solutions are gaining increasing importance. In this approach, the control task is carried out by a number of controllers distributed over the entire system and connected by some interconnect network, like fieldbuses. Such a distributed embedded system may consist of a few controllers up to several hundred, as in today’s top-range automobiles.
Distribution and parallelism in embedded systems design increase the engineering challenges and require new development methods and tools.

Coordination of Internet Agents: Models, Technologies, and Applications

This book comes after several decades of outstanding and successful research that has helped ameliorate some of the most important and controversial fisheries issues in the world those associated with the unwanted wastage of fish from by-catch and discarding.

The 8 chapters encompass contributions from 27 of the world s leading experts in by-catch reduction. They take the reader through most aspects of the field at a variety of scales and viewpoints. They examine the methodologies used to develop by-catch reduction techniques and provide new avenues for assisting and broadening such work. Case studies are provided that encompass most of the world s fishing techniques and regions.

Solutions developed for the most problematic fishing methods in terms of by-catch, selectivity and habitat damage are examined in significant detail in addition to ways to reduce the by-catch of charismatic species like marine mammals and sea-birds. By-catch reduction in less infamous fis… More >>

Micron Technology Professional Background Report

Animal cell technology is a growing discipline of cell biology, which aims not only to understand structures, functions, and behaviours of differentiated animal cells but also to ascertain their ability to be used for industrial and medical purposes. The goal of animal cell technology includes accomplishments of clonal expansion of differentiated cells with useful ability, optimisation of their culture conditions, modulation of their ability for production of medically and pharmaceutically important proteins, and the application of animal cells to gene therapy, artificial organs, and functional foods. This volume gives the reader a complete review of the present state of the art in Japan and other countries where this field is well advanced. The Proceedings will be useful for cell biologists, biochemists, molecular biologists, immunologists, biochemical engineers, and other disciplines related to animal cell culture, working in either academic environments or in industries of biotechno… More >>
