Apache OFBiz Development: The Beginner’s Tutorial
Product Description
Written by two leading OFBiz consultants, this hands-on tutorial guides newcomers through the basics of Apache Open For Business, walking them through the creation and customization of real-world business applications. This book is for developers who want to build easily deployed and supported OFBiz applications. No previous knowledge of OFBiz is assumed, but readers should be comfortable in a Java development environment.
Security Engineering for Service-Oriented Architectures
Product Description
While their basic principles and ideas are well understood and cogent from a conceptual perspective, the realization of interorganizational workflows and applications based on service-oriented architectures (SOAs) remains a complex task, and, especially when it comes to security, the implementation is still bound to low-level technical knowledge and hence inherently error-prone.
Hafner and Breu set a different focus. Based on the paradigm of model-driven security, they show how to systematically design and realize security-critical applications for SOAs. In their presentation, they first detail how systems and security engineering go hand in hand and are integrated from the very start in the requirements elicitation and the design phase. In a second step, they apply the principles of model-driven security to SOAs. Model-driven security is an engineering paradigm that aims at the automatic generation of security-critical executable software for target architectures. Based on the general principles of model-driven software development, the automation of security engineering through proven and reliable mechanisms guarantees correctness and facilitates an agile and flexible approach to the implementation and high-level management of security-critical systems.
Their book addresses IT professionals interested in the design and realization of modern security-critical applications. It presents a synthesis of various best practices, standards and technologies from model-driven software development, security engineering, and SOAs. As a reader, you will learn how to design and realize SOA security using the framework of an extensible domain architecture for model-driven security.
The Dissimilarity Representation for Pattern Recognition: Foundations And Applications
Product Description
This book provides a fundamentally new approach to pattern recognition in which objects are characterized by relations to other objects instead of by using features or models. This ‘dissimilarity representation’ bridges the gap between the traditionally opposing approaches of statistical and structural pattern recognition. Physical phenomena, objects and events in the world are related in various and often complex ways. Such relations are usually modeled in the form of graphs or diagrams.
While this is useful for communication between experts, such representation is difficult to combine and integrate by machine learning procedures. However, if the relations are captured by sets of dissimilarities, general data analysis procedures may be applied for analysis. With their detailed description of an unprecedented approach absent from traditional textbooks, the authors have crafted an essential book for every researcher and systems designer studying or developing pattern recognition systems.
Swarm Creativity: Competitive Advantage through Collaborative Innovation Networks
“Filled with real examples and practical suggestions, this thought-provoking book gives insightful guidance to anyone trying to harness the power of collaborative innovation unleashed by today’s new communication technologies.” –Thomas W. Malone, Director, MIT Center for Coordination Science, and Patrick J. McGovern Professor of Management, MIT Sloan School of Management
“This book illustrates that collaboration is key for successful companies. It shows how collaboration and innovation extends into all aspects of daily business life. Applying the principles outlined in this book will help companies to innovate by working together and learning from each other in social networks.” –Dirk Havighorst, Senior Manager Procurement & Supply, DaimlerChrysler
“Swarm Creativity brings a totally fresh look at innovation and collaboration. This book is a must-read for anyone in a business who is faced with the need to constantly innovate in order to remain competitive. It helps organizations shape their strategies based on principles of social networks, ethics, and meritocracy. By becoming Collaborative Innovation Networks, organizations will increase performance and become more creative.” –Kurt Wolf, Managing Director, UBS
“Peter Gloor offers a visionary guide into novel organizational forms and the opportunities they present for innovative companies. This is a wake-up call, challenging our most basic assumptions about management of organizations. His timing is perfect: loosen the hierarchy…harness democracy…think not of employees, but of partners. This is a book packed with insights and wisdom. Leadership would be well served to incorporate its lessons into the new networkedbusiness world of today.” –Walter Etter, COO, Banca del Gottardo, Switzerland
“We live in the age of networks. We advise young people to build networks to advance their careers. We study organizations by assessing the networks that develop within and among them. We encourage firms with like technology to cluster geographically so their scientists can ‘network’. And, of course, there is the Internet that has changed the world, scientifically, socially, and politically. Peter Gloor takes us through one of the most important of these developments: the creation of Collaborative Innovation Networks…” –Thomas J. Allen, Howard W. Johnson Professor of Management and Professor of Engineering Systems, MacVicar Faculty Fellow, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
“Gloor’s contribution is the enumeration of a set of principles to improve the probability of incubating a successful collaboration network.”–Journal of Product Innovation Management
Data Mining and Medical Knowledge Management: Cases and Applications

Djamel Abdelkader Zighed received his Master in Computer and Automatic Science in 1982 and his PhD in computer science in 1985 both from University Lyon I. He was as assistant professor at University Lyon 1 in 1984-1987. In 1987, he joined the University Lyon II where he worked as lecturer (1987-1991), professor (1991-2000) and 1st class professor (2000 - present). He is interested in data mining (including mining complex data), machine learning and knowledge engineering. He is the founder and was director (1995-2002) of the ERIC laboratory (laboratory for development of methods and software for knowledge engineering, and more specifically automatic Knowledge Discovery in Databases).
Beginning Java Objects: From Concepts To Code, 2nd Edition
Product Description
Learning to design objects effectively with Java is the goal of Beginning Java Objects: From Concepts to Code, Second Edition. Plenty of titles dig into the Java language in massive detail, but this one takes the unique approach of stepping back and looking at fundamental object concepts first. Mastery of Java&emdash;from understanding the basic language features to building complete industrial-strength Java applications&emdash;emerges only after a thorough tour of thinking in objects.
The first edition of B.J.O. has been a best seller; this second edition includes new material on the key features of J2SE 5, conceptual introductions to JDBC and J2EE, and an in-depth treatment of the critical design principles of model-data layer separation and model-view separation.
Despite the plethora of beginning Java titles on the market, this book is truly unique in its coverage of three critical topics&emdash;object concepts, UML modeling, and Java programming&emdash;within a single cover. It’s ideal for both individual self-study and as a university-level textbook. Let Beginning Java Objects, Second Edition be your guide!
