Few IT professionals take the time to learn what needs to be known to do disaster recovery well. Most labor under the pretense that good administration equals close to five-nines uptime. Most technical people do not see the value of planning for disasters until the unexpected has already happened, and the effects of a disaster involving a SharePoint farm which today houses business information, line-of-business applications, sensitive information, extranets, and other highly important assets can be staggering. Pro SharePoint 2010 Disaster Recovery and High Availability will take you through a step-by-step process to show how to build an awareness and reaction plan for the inevitable. With a focus on real-world experiences and war stories, author Stephen Cummins weaves an expert tale of woe response and offers you: Ways to see the warning signs of disaster, and ways to avoid it Ways to respond to a disaster while it is happening Perhaps most importantly, how to develop a plan to deal with disaster when it inevitably does happen

Uncertain data is inherent in many important applications, such as environmental surveillance, market analysis, and quantitative economics research. Due to the importance of those applications and rapidly increasing amounts of uncertain data collected and accumulated, analyzing large collections of uncertain data has become an important task. Ranking queries (also known as top-k queries) are often natural and useful in analyzing uncertain data. Ranking Queries on Uncertain Data discusses the motivations/applications, challenging problems, the fundamental principles, and the evaluation algorithms of ranking queries on uncertain data. Theoretical and algorithmic results of ranking queries on uncertain data are presented in the last section of this book. Ranking Queries on Uncertain Data is the first book to systematically discuss the problem of ranking queries on uncertain data.

The way in which scientific research is carried out is undergoing a series of radical changes, worldwide, as a result of the digital revolution. However, this Science 2.0  requires a comprehensive supporting cyber-infrastructure. This essential guidebook on e-science presents real-world examples of practices and applications, demonstrating how a range of computational technologies and tools can be employed to build essential infrastructures supporting next-generation scientific research. Each chapter provides introductory material on core concepts and principles, as well as descriptions and discussions of relevant e-science methodologies, architectures, tools, systems, services and frameworks. The guide's explanations and context present a broad spectrum of different e-science system requirements. Topics and features: Includes contributions from an international selection of preeminent e-science experts and practitioners Discusses use of mainstream grid computing and peer-to-peer grid technology for open  research and resource sharing in scientific research Presents varied methods for data management in data-intensive research Investigates issues of e-infrastructure interoperability, security, trust and privacy for collaborative research Examines workflow technology for the automation of scientific processes, and that ensures the research can be reusable, reproducible and repeatable Describes applications of e-science, highlighting systems used in the fields of biometrics, clinical medicine, and ecology This highly practical text/reference is a must-have, must-use  resource for both IT professionals and academic researchers. Graduate students will also benefit from the experiences and viewpoints shared by the authors on this important subject, as well as the instructional nature of this guidebook.

Title: Location, Localization, Localizability Authors: Yunhao Liu Zheng Yang With the popularity of wireless networks, location-based service has become increasingly prevalent in our lives, and its applications range far and wide. For instance, E-911 in the United States, or corresponding E-112 in Europe, offers timely and accurate assistance to the emergency callers by locating them through mobile communications networks or GPS, and sensor network, a typical type of wireless ad-hoc networks, has shown great potential in environmental monitoring, industrial sensing, battlefield surveillance and more. Location, Localization, Localizability provides a comprehensive and in-depth look at location-awareness technology in today's popular wireless networks, but it does so in a way that is aware of the difficulty of organizing such information, given the obvious diversity of relevant networks. Therefore, from the perspective of application, the book focuses on wireless ad-hoc and sensor networks, in which the overwhelming majority of localization techniques are involved. It discusses a versatile array of techniques but also mentions other types of networks, such as WLAN and 3G mobile. In addition, this book is organized around three step-by-step themes: location, localization, and localizability. It first addresses location-based applications because those are closest to our daily lives. It then details localization approaches in-depth before covering other advanced topics such as localizability and location privacy. Aimed at technicians and practitioners in the industry of Real-Time Location Systems, this guidebook covers many localization algorithms in-depth while making their design and analysis accessible. Each chapter ends with a summary or comparative study, providing a bigger picture and facilitating understanding.
