SAP is a great software. One needs to fullyunderstand its features in order to effectively exploitthem for the benefit of customers. Mr. Agrawal’sbooks on SAP HR have a unique approach. A chapterusually focuses on a single business concept, anddiscusses the user interface as well as its associatedconfiguration. This logical division makes it easier forreaders to understand the functionality.

Another important feature of these books is the levelof detail. Each screen and each field in a screen isexplained. Explanation includes meaning, use caseand in some cases guidelines. Details are balanced byoverviews explaining the concepts and theirrelationships.

While explaining functionality, Mr. Agrawal has madeefforts to highlight what can be done and how it isto be done. This is particularly important for lessexperienced users and consultants.

Indicating chapter numbers against each menu andconfiguration item is a very useful innovation, as itestablishes direct link between the SAP system andthe book.

Another useful feature is that these books can beread not only by consultants, but also by users,business process owners and even by seniormanagers. The importance of each topic for eachcategory of users is specified.

Mr. Agrawal has taken considerable pains in writingthese books, and I congratulate Mr. Agrawal on hisachievement and thank him for his contribution tothe SAP community.

ANDERSONIntroduction to Neural Networks, AnJAMES A. ANDERSON

An Introduction to Neural Networks falls into a newecological niche for texts. Based on notes that havebeen class tested for more than a decade, it is aimedat cognitive science and neuroscience students whoneed to understand brain function in terms ofcomputational modeling and at engineers who wantto go beyond formal algorithms to applications andcomputing strategies. It is the only current text toapproach networks both from a broad neuroscienceand cognitive science perspective, with an increasedemphasis on the biology and psychology governingthe assumptions of the models as well as on whatthe models might be used for. It describes themathematical and computational tools needed andprovides an account of the author’s own ideas.

KEY FEATURES• Emphasizes not so much the formal analysis of

network algorithms as the use of algorithms.• Devotes some effort to describe the biological

representation of data by giving several examplesof biological and cognitive computation usingneural networks.

• The beginning of the book contains programs forsome computer modeling experiments to enablestudents to play with algorithms and theories.

• Provides fragments of code, useful Pascalprocedures and functions, and describes resultsfrom network modeling programs, throughout thetext.

• The afterword tells how to obtain the completeprograms, datasets and further details about theoperation and design of the programs.

BRUCEFoundations of Object-OrientedLanguages: Types and SemanticsKIM B. BRUCE, Professor of Computer Science, WilliamsCollege, Williams Town, Massachusetts.

Object-oriented programming has emerged as thedominant computer programming style, and object-oriented languages such as C++ and Java areimmensely popular with academics and industryprofessionals.

This book provides a comprehensive description ofthe foundations of statically typed class-based object-oriented programming languages. It begins byanalyzing existing object-oriented languages, payingspecial attention to their type systems andimpediments to expressiveness. The text thenexamines two key features: subtypes and subclasses.After a brief introduction to the lambda calculus, itpresents a prototypical object-oriented language,SOOL, a simple type system which is similar tosystems of class-based object-oriented languages incommon use. The text concludes with a discussion offeatures, such as parametric polymorphism andMyType construct, which are not yet included inmost statically typed object-oriented languages.

This book, which treats a subject of current interest,should prove highly useful to students of computerscience and IT as well as to professionals in thefield.

KEY FEATURES• Introduces readers to key issues in the type

systems of object-oriented programming languages.• Provides core material on class-based object-

oriented languages.• Highlights the formalism for writing the syntax and

type-checking rules for programming languages.

This internationally acclaimed textbook provides acomprehensive introduction to the modern studyof computer algorithms. It covers a broad range ofalgorithms in depth, yet makes their design andanalysis accessible to all levels of readers. Eachchapter is relatively self-contained and presents analgorithm, a design technique, an application area, ora related topic. The algorithms are described anddesigned in a manner to be readable by anyone whohas done a little programming. The explanations havebeen kept elementary without sacrificing depth ofcoverage or mathematical rigor.

The third edition has been revised and updatedthroughout. It includes two completely new chapters,on van Emde Boas trees and multithreadedalgorithms, and substantial additions to the chapteron recurrences

(now called “Divide-and-Conquer”). It featuresimproved treatment of dynamic programming andgreedy algorithms and a new notion of edge-basedflow in the material on flow networks. Many newexercises and problems have been added in thisedition.

The text is intended primarily for students studyingalgorithms or data structures. As it discussesengineering issues in algorithm design, as well asmathematical aspects, it is equally well suited forself-study by technical professionals.

“Introduction to Algorithms, the ‘bible’ of the field, isa comprehensive textbook covering the full spectrum ofmodern algorithms: from the fastest algorithms anddata structures to polynomial-time algorithms forseemingly intractable problems, from classicalalgorithms in graph theory to special algorithms forstring matching, computational geometry, and numbertheory. The revised third edition notably adds achapter on van Emde Boas trees, one of the mostuseful data structures, and on multithreadedalgorithms, a topic of increasing importance.”

DESOUZA & HENSGENManaging Information in ComplexOrganizations: Semiotics andSignals, Complexity and ChaosKEVIN C. DeSOUZA and TOBIN HENSGEN.

From data to information and on to actionableknowledge—the authors present in this seminal workan eminently scientific approach for an effectivedesign for processing information.

Applications in information processing, of suchconcepts as evolution, semiotics, entropy, complexity,emergence, crisis, and chaos theory are presented toshow their relevance to effective crisis management.The authors show how to evaluate and shareinformation to avoid a disaster rather than simplyrespond to it. In fact the book highlights thequestion: Why do organizations continue to fail toprocess available information optimally to evadeconditions related to impending crisis?

The book is useful as a text for courses inInformation Systems and Corporate Management. Onthe practical side, it is an ideal book for study andreference for those who deal in law enforcement,officers in defence organizations, national infra-structure protection and industrial security. In short,it is for all who seek better ways to gather, manage,and share information.

Original and informative, it should be an essentialcourse reading within the diverse and complexfield of managing information processing anddissemination.

— RAYMOND A. HACKNEY,Manchester Metropolitan University, Business School

The authors demonstrate vividly through the use ofexamples and case studies, how information signals ifunchecked, can make an organization vulnerable to acrisis. This is an invaluable guidebook foracademicians and practitioners alike. A ‘must-read’ fordefence strategy planners.

DOUGHERTY & LAPLANTEIntroduction to Real-Time ImagingEDWARD R. DOUGHERTY, Texas A&M University.PHILLIP A. LAPLANTE, Fairleigh Dickinson University.

This concise and compact text focusses on the struc-ture, computation and applications of the algorithmscentral to digital image processing. In particular, itstresses linear, matrix and nonlinear algorithms thathave a wide range of imaging applications.

The book begins with the basics of real-time imageprocessing, then it goes on to give a fairly detaileddiscussion on basic hardware architecture, includingvon Neumann architecture, to familiarize studentswith the basic architectural concepts andterminology. Besides, the text devotes its attentionon the three levels at which one can address real-time processing: parallel hardware, the programminglanguage, and optimization. The conceptual dis-cussions are fortified with description on applicationssuch as noise suppression, edge detection, matchedfiltering and data compression.

This book, which skillfully blends theory andapplications, would prove to be highly useful tostudents of engineering and computer science.

KEY FEATURES• Discusses numerous aspects of programming

languages, including parameter passing tech-niques, recursion, typing and exception handling.

• Includes a survey of commonly used languages andthe ways in which these contribute to real-timeprocessing.

• Covers specific operations such as linearconvolution, the discrete cosine transform (DCT),the fast Fourier transform (FFT), the median filter,and the morphological gradient.

DOUGHERTYRandom Processes for Image andSignal ProcessingEDWARD R. DOUGHERTY, Texas A&M University.

Temporal, spatial, and higher-dimensional processesvary from observation to observation and are dealtwith by science and engineering. Random processesprovide the tools for understanding observationsas a whole. This text strives to highlight thesignificance of random processes for image and signalprocessing. Integrated with special cases that provideclear insights into the subject, the book covers basicprobability theory (with special attention tomultivariate distributions and functions ofseveral random variables), canonical representation,transform coding, optimal filter design (both linearand nonlinear), neural networks, discrete andcontinuous time Markov chains, and the theory ofrandom closed sets.

Proofs are provided within the main text to enhanceconceptual understanding. Also, a clear distinction ismade between deterministic concepts and theirrandom counterparts. The large number of imagingapplications would considerably help in compre-hending the concepts discussed, and the manyexercises provided at the end of each chapter woulddrill students in self-study.

Students offering courses in probability and statisticsand image processing would immensely profit byreading this book.

The main focus of the text is on the design processthat leads the readers from problem statements towell-organized solutions—deemphasizing the study ofprogramming language details, algorithmic minutiae,and specific application domains.

The book exposes the readers to two fundamentallynew ideas—program design recipes by categories ofproblems, and a novel programming environmentexplicitly designed for beginners. The environmentgrows with the readers as they master the material inthe book until it supports a full-fledged language forthe whole spectrum of programming tasks.

The book uses a tiny subset of Scheme programminglanguage to develop programs. (The book is notabout programming in Scheme.) The choice ofScheme is natural as beginners can remain focusedon the essence of programming and still developcomplete programs using just the core of thislanguage.

MALA, Associate Professor, Department of ComputerScience and Engineering, National Institute ofTechnology Tiruchirapalli.

C++ is a popular object-oriented programming (OOP)language for developing high-performance computerapplications. This text explores the various keyconcepts of object-oriented programming such asencapsulation, abstraction, overloading, inheritance,polymorphism, virtual functions, templates andexception handling. Since C++ is an extension ofstandard version of C, a detailed treatment of C isalso given to address the needs of the first-timeprogrammers not acquainted with the features setof C.

The book discusses in detail certain concepts thathave remained grey for some time now. In thiscontext the notion of header files inclusion and itsinternals, and data structures that support featuressuch as polymorphism are explained in detail. Equal

emphasis is placed on syntaxes and the semanticsbehind the working of each feature of the language.Programming is not just syntaxes and the bookattempts to present programming features in theright way by laying emphasis on concepts, internals,and illustrating such features by real-timeprogramming examples as well. Programming is an artmuch like mathematics and is best appreciated andunderstood only if the conceptual side of thefeatures is put forth as opposed to the conventionalview of syntax emphasis.

This book will be useful for the students of:

• All engineering disciplines• Computer Applications• Information Communication Technology (ICT)

JACKSONSoftware Abstractions: Logic,Language, and AnalysisDANIEL JACKSON, Professor, Department of ElectricalEngineering and Computer Science and leads theSoftware Design Group at the Computer Science andArtificial Intelligence Lab at MIT.

Any system build on flawed concepts makes it clumsyand hard to make even simplest of changes to repairthe damage done. The author begins the book withthe statement “Software is built on abstractions. Pickthe right ones and programming will flow fromdesign; modules will have small and simpleinterfaces; and new functionality will more likely fitin without extensive organization.”

Basically, an abstraction is an idea reduced to itsessential form. The author introduces the keyelements of the approach: a logic, which provides thebuilding blocks of the language; a language, whichadds a small amount of syntax to the logic forstructuring descriptions; and an analysis, which is aform of constraint solving, and it offers bothsimulation (generating sample states and executions)and checking (finding counterexamples to claimedproperties). The author uses the language Alloy as avehicle because of its simplicity and tool support; butthe book’s lessons are mostly language-independent,and could also be applied in the context of othermodeling languages.

This compact and comprehensive book providesan introduction to data structures from an object-oriented perspective using the powerful language C++as the programming vehicle. It is designed as anideal text for the students before they startdesigning algorithms in C++.

The book begins with an overview of C++, then itgoes on to analyze the basic concepts of datastructures, and finally focusses the reader’s attentionon abstract data structures. In so doing, the textuses simple examples to explain the meaning of eachdata type. Throughout, an attempt has been made toenable students to progress gradually from simpleobject-oriented abstract data structures to moreadvanced data structures. A large number of workedexamples and the end-of-chapter exercises help thestudents reinforce the knowledge gained.

Intended as a one-semester course for undergraduatestudents in computer science and for those who offerthis course in engineering and management, thebook should also prove highly useful to those ITprofessionals who have a keen interest in thesubject.

MATHAObject-Oriented Analysis and DesignUsing UML: An Introduction toUnified Process and Design PatternsMAHESH P. MATHA is a faculty member in one of theaffiliated colleges of Goa University.

A modern computer program, such as the one thatcontrols a rocket’s journey to moon, is like amedieval cathedral—vast, complex, layered withcircuits and mazes. To write such a program, whichprobably runs into a hundred thousand lines or more,knowledge of an object-oriented language like Javaor C++ is not enough. Unified Modelling Language(UML), elaborated in detail in this book, is amethodology that assists in the design of softwaresystems.

The first task in the making of a software product isto gather requirements from the client. This well-organized and clearly presented text develops aformal method to write down these requirements asUse Cases in UML. Besides, it also develops theconcepts of static and dynamic modeling and theUnified Process that suggests incremental anditerative development of software, taking clientfeedback at every step. The concept of DesignPatterns which provide solutions to problems thatoccur repeatedly during software development isdiscussed in detail in the concluding chapters. Twoappendices provide solutions to two real-lifeproblems.

Case Studies, mapping of examples into Java codethat are executable on computers, summary andReview Questions at the end of every chapter makethe book reader friendly.

The book will prove extremely useful to under-graduate and postgraduate students of ComputerScience, Information Technology, and Master of

MOHAPATRACases in Management InformationSystemsSANJAY MOHAPATRA, Associate Professor inInformation Systems at Xavier Institute of ManagementBhubaneswar (XIMB).

This book is intended as a supplement for courses inManagement Information Systems (MIS). It uses casesto explain MIS concepts. It illustrates how computer-based information systems can be used to support anorganization’s objectives and strategic plans.

The book’s objective is to capture the material from awide range of sectors such as health care,developmental activities, bank operations,microfinance, etc. and organize it around aframework that would be useful for students tounderstand how MIS can help in overcomingcorporate challenges. It prepares students asmanagers, providing a clear focus on information,rather than data, and its use in business. These casescan also be used by practitioners as examples fordesigning MIS in their own organizations.

For each case, the costs and benefits of theinformation system have been evaluated bycalculating the Return on Investment (ROI). What ismore, not only quantitative benefits, but alsoqualitative benefits (social and public benefits) havebeen identified to justify the need for technology-enabled MIS for supporting corporate strategies andoperations.

NIYOGIComputational Nature of LanguageLearning and Evolution, ThePARTHA NIYOGI.

The book explores the interplay between languagelearning and evolution in the context of linguisticsystems. Learning is the mechanism by which langu-age is transferred from one generation of speakers toanother. If linguistic knowledge is characterized incomputational terms as a formal grammar and themapping procedure is algorithmic, this conceptuali-zation admits computational and mathematical modesof inquiry into language learning.

In this book Partha Niyogi introduces a framework foranalyzing the precise nature of the relationshipbetween learning by the individual and evolutionof the population. We can observe the learningof language by children and marvel at thephenomenon of language acquisition; the evolutionof a language, however, is not so directlyexperienced. In language evolution, one studies howlinguistics evolved.


Intended mainly for students of Linguistics(Computational linguistics), the book will also proveuseful as a reference for researchers in the field andthose pursuing courses in AI/Theoretical ComputerScience.

This book introduces computer programming to abeginner using Fortran 90 and its recent extensionFortran 95. While Fortran 77 has been used for manyyears and is still very popular, the InternationalStandards Organization set up a group to ‘modernize’Fortran and introduce new features which have madelanguages such as Pascal and C popular. Thecommittee came up with the new standard, Fortran90, which has introduced many new features inFortran such as recursion, pointers, user defined datatypes, etc., hitherto available only in Pascal and C.Fortran 90 is not an evolutionary change of Fortran77 but is drastically different. Though Fortran 77programs can be run using a Fortran 90 compiler,Fortran 90 is so different that the author felt it wasa good idea to introduce Fortran 90 from basics. In1996, some small extensions were made to Fortran 90and called Fortran 95. This book also discusses thesefeatures. As all new programs in Fortran willhenceforth be written in Fortran 90, it is essentialfor students to learn this language.

One of the main merits of the book is that everyconcept in the language has been illustrated with anappropriate example program. This approach makesthe book eminently suitable for self-study as well.

SCHWARTZBiological Modeling and Simulation:A Survey of Practical Models,Algorithms, and Numerical MethodsRUSSELL SCHWARTZ.

This book is aimed at training aspiring computationalbiologists to handle new and unanticipated problems.It teaches the students how to reason aboutdeveloping formal mathematical models of biologicalsystems that are amenable to computational analysis.The text covers models of optimization, simulationand sampling, and parameter tuning. These topicsprovide a general framework for learning how toformulate mathematical models of biological systems,what techniques are available to work with thesemodels, and how to fit the models to particularsystems. Their application is illustrated by manyexamples drawn from a variety of biologicaldisciplines and several extended case studies thatshow how the methods described have been appliedto real problems in biology.

“In twenty-first-century biology, modeling has a similarrole as the microscope had in earlier centuries; it isarguably the most important research tool for studyingcomplex phenomena and processes in all areas of thelife sciences, from molecular biology to ecosystemsanalysis. Every biologist therefore needs to be familiarwith the basic approaches, methods, and assumptionsof modeling. Biological Modeling and Simulation is anessential guide that helps biologists explore thefundamental principles of modeling. It should be onthe bookshelf of every student and active researcher.”

SHAW & GARLANSoftware Architecture: Perspectiveson an Emerging DisciplineMARY SHAW and DAVID GARLAN, both of CarnegieMellon University.

Software developers have often adopted specificarchitectural patterns for system organization—but,for the most part, informally. In this book, theauthors discuss the formalization of what, until now,has been ‘a substantial folklore of system design,with little consistency or precision’.

With their unique perspective on the current state ofsoftware architecture and its impact on design, theauthors provide useful information for several typesof readers:

• Professional software developers will find newideas in the discussion and evaluation of familiarpatterns.

• Student will find useful techniques for approachingsystem organization from an architectural point ofview, rather than following current fads oroutmoded methodology.

• Educators will find the book helpful as a text for asoftware architecture course or as a supplementaltext for courses in software engineering or softwaredesign.


THIS BOOK ALSO INCLUDES• Hints for choosing a suitable architecture.• The use of well-understood paradigms for design-

ing new systems.• How formal notation and models can characterize

system design.• The study of actual system architectures as models

for new designs.

It provides the best general framework and set oftechniques for dealing with software architectures thatare available today. And it conveys the excitement ofbeing able to look at the software fields in new ways.

These collaborations,necessary because of the enormous breadth ofbackground needed for research in this field, can behindered by differing understandings of thelimitations and applicability of techniques andconcerns from different disciplines.

This book is a comprehensive introduction andoverview of system modeling in biology. It makes therelevant background material from all pertinent fieldsaccessible to researchers with different backgrounds.The emerging area of systems level modeling incellular biology has lacked a critical and thoroughoverview, and this book fills that gap.

This is perhaps the first book to provide thenecessary critical comparison of concepts andapproaches, with an emphasis on their possibleapplications. It presents key concepts and theirtheoretical background, which includes:

• The concepts of robustness and modularity andtheir exploitation to study biological systems

• The best-known modeling approaches, and theiradvantages and disadvantages

• Lessons from the application of mathematicalmodels to the study of cellular biology, and

• Available modeling tools and datasets, along withtheir computational limitations.

TURBAK, GIFFORD & SHELDONDesign Concepts in ProgrammingLanguagesFRANKLYN TURBAK, Associate Professor, ComputerScience Department at Wellesley College.DAVID GIFFORD, Professor of Computer Science andEngineering at MIT.MARK A. SHELDON, Visiting Assistant Professor,Computer Science Department at Wellesley College.

This comprehensive text uses a simple and conciseframework to teach key ideas in programminglanguage design and implementation. The book’sunique approach is based on a family of syntacticallysimple pedagogical languages that allow students toexplore programming language conceptssystematically. It takes as its premise and startingpoint the idea that when language behaviors becomeincredibly complex, the description of the behaviorsmust be incredibly simple.

The book presents a set of tools (a mathematicalmetalanguage, abstract syntax, operational anddenotational semantics) and uses it to explore acomprehensive set of programming language designdimensions, including dynamic semantics (naming,state, control, data), static semantics (types, typereconstruction, polymorphism, effects), andpragmatics (compilation, garbage collection).

“This new textbook by Franklyn Turbak, David Gifford,and Mark Sheldon— comprehensive, thorough,pedagogically innovative, impeccably written andorganized—greatly enriches the area of programminglanguages and will be an important reference for yearsto come.”

This innovative text presents programming as aunified discipline in a way that is both practical andscientifically sound. The book focuses on techniquesof lasting value and explains them precisely in termsof a simple abstract machines.

After an introduction to programming concepts, thebook presents both well-known and lesser-knowncomputation models (“programming paradigm”). Eachmodel has its own set of techniques and each isincluded on the basis of its usefulness in practice.The general models include declarative programming,declarative concurrency, explicit state, object-oriented programming, shared-state concurrency, andrelational programming. Specialized models includegraphical user interface programming, distributedprogramming, and constraint programming. Eachmodel is based on its kernel language—a simple corelanguage that consists of a small number ofprogrammer-significant elements. The kernellanguages are introduced progressively, addingconcepts one by one, thus showing the deeprelationships between different models. The kernellanguages are defined precisely in terms of a simpleabstract machine. The book has many programfragments and exercises, all of which can be run onthe Mozart Programming system, an Open SourceSoftware package that features an interactiveincremental development environment.

The book intends to be used in undergraduatecourses on programming concepts and techniques,applied programming models, concurrent anddistributed programming, computational models andon constraint programming.
