Trends in Functional Programming, Volume 6

Posted: March 10th, 2010, 12:59am CET by bandr

Compiler writers often face a choice between implementing a simple, non-optimizing transformation pass that generates poor code which will require subsequent optimization, and implementing a complex, optimizing transformation pass that avoids generating poor code in the first place. A two-pass strategy is compelling because it is simpler to implement correctly, but its disadvantage is that the intermediate data structures can be large and traversing them unnecessarily can be costly. In a system performing just-in-time compilation or run-time code generation, the costs associated with a two-pass compilation strategy can render it impractical. A one-pass optimizing transformation is compelling because it avoids generating intermediate data structures requiring further optimization, but its disadvantage is that the transformation is more difficult to implement.

Embedded Java Security: Security for Mobile Devices

Posted: March 10th, 2010, 12:56am CET by bandr

Product Description
Whereas Java brings functionality and versatility to the world of mobile devices, at the same time it also introduces new security threats. The rapid growth of the number of mobile devices that support Java makes this a pressing issue. Embedded Java Security carefully examines the security aspects of Java and offers a security evaluation for the Java platform.

After explaining background material on the architecture of embedded platforms and relating to its role in security, the book deconstructs the security model into its main components: It explains each component and relates it to the aim of securing the applications and the device. Toward this end, several implementations of the Java platform are examined and tested to relate the model to its actual implementation on devices. The security holes found are further used to clarify security issues and point out common errors. Finally, the book provides an evaluation of embedded Java security that includes security models and security tests performed on real-life implementations.

Neighbor Networks: Competitive Advantage Local and Personal

Posted: March 10th, 2010, 12:47am CET by bandr

Product Description
There is a moral to this book, a bit of Confucian wisdom often ignored in social network analysis: “Worry not that no one knows you, seek to be worth knowing.”

This advice is contrary to the usual social network emphasis on securing relations with well-connected people. Neighbor Networks examines the cases of analysts, bankers, and managers, and finds that rewards, in fact, do go to people with well-connected colleagues. Look around your organization. The individuals doing well tend to be affiliated with well-connected colleagues.
However, the advantage obvious to the naked eye is misleading. It disappears when an individual’s own characteristics are held constant. Well-connected people do not have to affiliate with people who have nothing to offer. This book shows that affiliation with well-connected people adds stability but no advantage to a person’s own connections. Advantage is concentrated in people who are themselves well connected.

This book is a trail of argument and evidence that leads to the conclusion that individuals make a lot of their own network advantage. The social psychology of networks moves to center stage and personal responsibility emerges as a key theme. In the end, the social is affirmed, but with an emphasis on individual agency and the social psychology of networks. The research gives new emphasis to Coleman’s initial image of social capital as a forcing function for human capital.

This book is for academics and researchers of organizational and network studies interested in a new angle on familiar data, and as a supplemental reading in graduate courses on social networks, stratification, or organizations. A variety of research settings are studied, and diverse theoretical perspectives are taken. The book’s argument and evidence are supported by ample appendices for readers interested in background details.
