Grid Computing Techniques and Applications

Grid Computing Techniques and Applications

Designed for senior undergraduate and first-year graduate students Grid Computing: Techniques and Applications shows professors how to teach this subject in a practical way. Extensively classroom-tested it covers job submission and scheduling Grid security Grid computing services and software tools graphical user interfaces workflow editors and Grid-enabling applications. The book begins with an introduction that discusses the use of a Grid computing Web-based portal. It then examines the underlying action of job submission using a command-line interface and the use of a job scheduler. After describing both general Internet security techniques and specific security mechanisms developed for Grid computing the author focuses on Web services technologies and how they are adopted for Grid computing. He also discusses the advantages of using a graphical user interface over a command-line interface and presents a graphical workflow editor that enables users to compose sequences of computational tasks visually using a simple drag-and-drop interface. The final chapter explains how to deploy applications on a Grid. The Grid computing platform offers much more than simply running an application at a remote site. It also enables multiple geographically distributed computers to collectively obtain increased speed and fault tolerance. Illustrating this kind of resource discovery this practical text encompasses the varied and interconnected aspects of Grid computing including how to design a system infrastructure and Grid portal. Supplemental Web ResourcesThe author’s Web site offers various instructional resources including slides and links to software for programming assignments. Many of these assignments do not require access to a Grid platform. Instead the author provides step-by-step instructions for installing open-source software to deploy and test Web and Grid services a Grid computing workflow editor to design and test workflows and a Grid computing portal to deploy portlets. | Grid Computing Techniques and Applications

Introduction to Software Engineering

Introduction to Software Engineering

Practical Guidance on the Efficient Development of High-Quality SoftwareIntroduction to Software Engineering Second Edition equips students with the fundamentals to prepare them for satisfying careers as software engineers regardless of future changes in the field even if the changes are unpredictable or disruptive in nature. Retaining the same organization as its predecessor this second edition adds considerable material on open source and agile development models. The text helps students understand software development techniques and processes at a reasonably sophisticated level. Students acquire practical experience through team software projects. Throughout much of the book a relatively large project is used to teach about the requirements design and coding of software. In addition a continuing case study of an agile software development project offers a complete picture of how a successful agile project can work. The book covers each major phase of the software development life cycle from developing software requirements to software maintenance. It also discusses project management and explains how to read software engineering literature. Three appendices describe software patents command-line arguments and flowcharts.

Bioinformatics A Practical Guide to NCBI Databases and Sequence Alignments

Bioinformatics A Practical Guide to NCBI Databases and Sequence Alignments

Bioinformatics: A Practical Guide to NCBI Databases and Sequence Alignments provides the basics of bioinformatics and in-depth coverage of NCBI databases sequence alignment and NCBI Sequence Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST). As bioinformatics has become essential for life sciences the book has been written specifically to address the need of a large audience including undergraduates graduates researchers healthcare professionals and bioinformatics professors who need to use the NCBI databases retrieve data from them and use BLAST to find evolutionarily related sequences sequence annotation construction of phylogenetic tree and the conservative domain of a protein to name just a few. Technical details of alignment algorithms are explained with a minimum use of mathematical formulas and with graphical illustrations. Key Features Provides readers with the most-used bioinformatics knowledge of bioinformatics databases and alignments including both theory and application via illustrations and worked examples. Discusses the use of Windows Command Prompt Linux shell R and Python for both Entrez databases and BLAST. The companion website (http://www. hamiddi. com/instructors/) contains tutorials R and Python codes instructor materials including slides exercises and problems for students. This is the ideal textbook for bioinformatics courses taken by students of life sciences and for researchers wishing to develop their knowledge of bioinformatics to facilitate their own research. | Bioinformatics A Practical Guide to NCBI Databases and Sequence Alignments

Linux with Operating System Concepts

Linux with Operating System Concepts

A True Textbook for an Introductory Course System Administration Course or a Combination Course Linux with Operating System Concepts Second Edition merges conceptual operating system (OS) and Unix/Linux topics into one cohesive textbook for undergraduate students. The book can be used for a one- or two-semester course on Linux or Unix. It is complete with review sections problems definitions concepts and relevant introductory material such as binary and Boolean logic OS kernels and the role of the CPU and memory hierarchy. Details for Introductory and Advanced Users The book covers Linux from both the user and system administrator positions. From a user perspective it emphasizes command-line interaction. From a system administrator perspective the text reinforces shell scripting with examples of administration scripts that support the automation of administrator tasks. Thorough Coverage of Concepts and Linux Commands The author incorporates OS concepts not found in most Linux/Unix textbooks including kernels file systems storage devices virtual memory and process management. He also introduces computer science topics such as computer networks and TCP/IP interpreters versus compilers file compression file system integrity through backups RAID and encryption technologies booting and the GNUs C compiler. New in this Edition The book has been updated to systemd Linux and the newer services like Cockpit NetworkManager firewalld and journald. This edition explores Linux beyond CentOS/Red Hat by adding detail on Debian distributions. Content across most topics has been updated and improved.
