Computer Ethics

Computer Ethics

The study of the ethical issues related to computer use developed primarily in the 1980s although a number of important papers were published in previous decades many of which are contained in this volume. Computer ethics as the field became known flourished in the following decades. The emphasis initially was more on the computing profession: on questions related to the development of systems the behaviour of computing professionals and so on. Later the focus moved to the Internet and to users of computer and related communication technologies. This book reflects these different emphases and has articles on most of the important issues organised into sections on the history and nature of computer ethics cyberspace values and technology responsibility and professionalism privacy and surveillance what computers should not do and morality and machines.

Computer Architecture Fundamentals and Principles of Computer Design Second Edition

Computer Architecture Fundamentals and Principles of Computer Design Second Edition

Not only does almost everyone in the civilized world use a personal computer smartphone and/or tablet on a daily basis to communicate with others and access information but virtually every other modern appliance vehicle or other device has one or more computers embedded inside it. One cannot purchase a current-model automobile for example without several computers on board to do everything from monitoring exhaust emissions to operating the anti-lock brakes to telling the transmission when to shift and so on. Appliances such as clothes washers and dryers microwave ovens refrigerators etc. are almost all digitally controlled. Gaming consoles like Xbox PlayStation and Wii are powerful computer systems with enhanced capabilities for user interaction. Computers are everywhere even when we don’t see them as such and it is more important than ever for students who will soon enter the workforce to understand how they work. This book is completely updated and revised for a one-semester upper level undergraduate course in Computer Architecture and suitable for use in an undergraduate CS EE or CE curriculum at the junior or senior level. Students should have had a course(s) covering introductory topics in digital logic and computer organization. While this is not a text for a programming course the reader should be familiar with computer programming concepts in at least one language such as C C++ or Java. Previous courses in operating systems assembly language and/or systems programming would be helpful but are not essential. | Computer Architecture Fundamentals and Principles of Computer Design Second Edition

Cyclic and Computer Generated Designs

Cyclic and Computer Generated Designs

Cyclic and Computer Generated Designs is a much-expanded and updated version of the well-received monograph Cyclic Designs . The book is primarily concerned with the construction and analysis of designs with a number of different blocking structures such as revolvable designs row-column designs and Latinized designs. It describes how appropriate and efficient designs can be constructed through the use of cyclic methods and recently developed computer algorithms. In this new edition a greater emphasis is given to the construction and properties of resolvable block and row-column designs. A general theory for single fractional and multiple replicate factorial designs is presented. Cyclic methods are used to construct most of these designs. Some new work on the use of computer algorithms for setting out factorial experiments in row-column designs is described. All the designs discussed can be analyzed using the generalized least squares theory given in the book. Two experiments with analyses are described in detail.

Performance Analysis of Queuing and Computer Networks

Performance Analysis of Queuing and Computer Networks

Performance Analysis of Queuing and Computer Networks develops simple models and analytical methods from first principles to evaluate performance metrics of various configurations of computer systems and networks. It presents many concepts and results of probability theory and stochastic processes. After an introduction to queues in computer networks this self-contained book covers important random variables such as Pareto and Poisson that constitute models for arrival and service disciplines. It then deals with the equilibrium M/M/1/∞queue which is the simplest queue that is amenable for analysis. Subsequent chapters explore applications of continuous time state-dependent single Markovian queues the M/G/1 system and discrete time queues in computer networks. The author then proceeds to study networks of queues with exponential servers and Poisson external arrivals as well as the G/M/1 queue and Pareto interarrival times in a G/M/1 queue. The last two chapters analyze bursty self-similar traffic and fluid flow models and their effects on queues.
