Description: The design and control of autonomous intelligent mobile robotic systems operating in unstructured changing environments includes many objective difficulties. There are several studies about the ways in which, robots exhibiting some degree of autonomy, adapt themselves to fit in their environments. The application and use of bio-inspired and intelligent techniques such as reinforcement learning, artificial neural networks, evolutionary computation and so forth in the design and improvement of robot designs is an emergent research topic. Researchers have obtained robots that display an amazing slew of behaviours and perform a multitude of tasks. These include perception of environment, planning and navigation in rough terrain, pushing boxes, negotiating an obstacle course, etc.

This volume offers a wide spectrum of sample works developed in leading research throughout the world about evolutionary mobile robotics and demonstrates the success of the technique in evolving efficient and capable mobile robots.

Description: When looking at an organization's security needs, you should begin with any existing security policies or procedures that the organization might already have in place. We started this chapter with an in-depth examination of how to analyze a company's business requirements for network and data security. This included looking at these existing security policies and procedures, either to incorporate them into a new security design, or to determine the kinds of changes they would need to work within a Windows Server 2003 network. Examining existing security policies extends to technical measures like analyzing security requirements for different types of data, since some kinds of data might be subject to specific security or retention policies, and some data is simply more mission-critical or sensitive than others. We also looked at administrative procedures such as being able to balance security and usability for users on a network, along with raising security awareness to better involve your user base in the security process. As a network administrator, you will need to balance the human and the technical in order to create the best security design for your organization.

Description: A human observer can effortlessly identify visible portions of geometric objects present in the environment. However, computations of visible portions of objects from a viewpoint involving thousands of objects is a time consuming task even for high speed computers. To solve such visibility problems, efficient algorithms have been designed. This book presents some of these visibility algorithms in two dimensions. Specifically, basic algorithms for point visibility, weak visibility, shortest paths, visibility graphs, link paths and visibility queries are all discussed. Several geometric properties are also established through lemmas and theorems. With over 300 figures and hundreds of exercises, this book is ideal for graduate students and researchers in the field of computational geometry. It will also be useful as a reference for researchers working in algorithms, robotics, computer graphics and geometric graph theory, and some algorithms from the book can be used in a first course in computational geometry.

Description: Ideal for any Java programmer trying to master JDBC database programming in a hurry, the remarkably concise and useful JDBC: Practical Guide for Java Programmers offers an example-based quick tour of essential APIs and techniques that you can use every day at your desk.

Weighing in at just over 100 pages, this text bucks the trend in today's computing titles in terms of size and focus. Instead of trying to cover everything about Java, this text zeros in on essential JDBC concepts and APIs. An experienced teacher, the author presents his own "framework" for connecting to databases in Java. Short, essential examples and compact explanation are the rule here.

From the basics of querying and updating databases to more advanced techniques like using prepared statements, updated result sets, and batch updates, the author's choice of examples is dead-on. Even experienced Java programmers can use this text as a reference to crucial advanced techniques. Standout material here includes using the Swing JTable table control to present multiple records, and a quick tour of servlet APIs. The book closes with a "case study" for an online video store combining the techniques presented early on.

With an extremely compact format and a no-frills approach to essential JDBC APIs and techniques, this text will serve as a reference and tutorial that can get you started with JDBC perhaps more quickly than any other available title. It's particularly well suited to those programmers who want to learn by example. Though small in size, it manages to cover several advanced features of JDBC that would require a lot of digging in a traditional Java tutorial.

In order for these safeguards and controls to be effective, they must suit the particular business needs of the enterprise.

A guide for security professionals, Building an Effective Information Security Policy Architecture explains how to review, develop, and implement a security architecture for any size enterprise, whether it is a global company or a SMB. Through the use of questionnaires and interviews, the book demonstrates how to evaluate an organizations culture and its ability to meet various security standards and requirements. Because the effectiveness of a policy is dependent on cooperation and compliance, the author also provides tips on how to communicate the policy and gain support for it.

Suitable for any level of technical aptitude, this book serves a guide for evaluating the business needs and risks of an enterprise and incorporating this information into an effective security policy architecture.

Description: Most books on data structures assume an imperative language such as C or C++. However, data structures for these languages do not always translate well to functional languages such as Standard ML, Haskell, or Scheme. This book describes data structures from the point of view of functional languages, with examples, and presents design techniques that allow programmers to develop their own functional data structures. The author includes both classical data structures, such as red-black trees and binomial queues, and a host of new data structures developed exclusively for functional languages. All source code is given in Standard ML and Haskell, and most of the programs are easily adaptable to other functional languages. This handy reference for professional programmers working with functional languages can also be used as a tutorial or for self-study.
