An enterprise architecture tries to describe and control an organisations structure, processes, applications, systems and techniques in an integrated way. The unambiguous specification and description of components and their relationships in such an architecture requires a coherent architecture modelling language. Lankhorst and his co-authors present such an enterprise modelling language that captures the complexity of architectural domains and their relations and allows the construction of integrated enterprise architecture models. They provide architects with concrete instruments that improve their architectural practice. As this is not enough, they additionally present techniques and heuristics for communicating with all relevant stakeholders abou...

This book is a comprehensive presentation of embedded Java security. It is compared with the security model of the Java 2 Standard Edition in order to view the impact of limited resources on security. No other book specifically addresses the topic of embedded Java security. Furthermore, the book provides hints and suggestions as ways for hardening security, and offers researchers and practitioners alike a broader and deeper understanding of the issues involved in embedded Java security, and as a larger view - mobile devices security. The author is a well-known authority and expert in mobile computing and embedded devices....

This book brings together a wealth of experiences from leading researchers in the field of Embedded Computer vision, from both academic and industrial research labs. Lately there is a major shift in the way computer vision applications are implemented and even developed. This book covers a broad range of challenges and trade offs brought by this paradigm shift. Part I, the introductory chapters, discusses pioneers in the field, providing an exposition of early work in the area necessary for understanding the present and future work. Part II, offers chapters, based on the most recent research and includes results from industry and academia. Finally the last part looks ahead, providing a sense of what major applications could be expected in the near f...
