A model-based approach to the design and implementation of Computational Sensor Networks (CSNs) is proposed. This high-level paradigm for the development and application of sensor device networks provides a strong scientific computing foundation, as well as the basis for robust software engineering practice. The three major components of this approach include (1) models of phenomena to be monitored, (2) models of sensors and actuators, and (3) models of the sensor network computation. We propose guiding principles to identify the state or structure of the phenomenon being sensed, or of the sensor network itself. This is called computational modeling. These methods are then incorporated into the operational system of the sensor network and adapted to system performance requirements to produce a mapping of the computation onto the system architecture. This is called real-time computational mapping and allows modification of system parameters according to real-time performance measures. This book deals with the development of a mathematical and modular software development framework to achieve computational sensor networks.

Web Matrix Developer's Guide provides a complete view of what you can accomplish with Web Matrix (Microsoft's free website creation program)&emdash;everything from generating simple web pages to developing Web service applications to building mobile applications. Expert author John Mueller covers all the major features of Web Matrix, including the ASP.NET page designer, SQL and MSDE database management, data-bound UI generation, XML Web services, and FTP workspaces.

Web Matrix Developer's Guide shows you how to create a wealth of application types beginning with simple HTML and moving on to XML and ASP.NET. You'll learn how to use CSS and XSLT to separate content from the display of data. A chapter on mobile application development helps you create content for both PDAs and cell phones. Finally, you'll learn about the database management functionality that Web Matrix provides, including a walk-through tutorial that shows you how to use David Selwood's popular freeware, MSDE Query, a tool that tames MSDE and makes it a more functional development environment.

One of the most important features of the Web Matrix Developer's Guide is that it demonstrates the flexibility of this free tool. You'll learn how to use every type of control and component in your Toolbox (managed and unmanaged) to create robust Web applications. In addition, you'll learn about IDE modifications, such as the addition of custom tabs to the Toolbox.

The wireless Web is a reality - don't get left behind!
The wireless Web is not a future dream. It is here today. Already, more than 20 million people have access the Internet through PDAs, mobile phones, pagers and other wireless devices.
What will people find on the Wireless Internet? This is the question that every Webmaster and Web developer is being challenged to answer. The Webmaster's Guide to the Wireless Internet provides the Wireless Webmaster with all of the tools necessary to build the next generation Internet. Packed with the essential information they need to design, develop, and secure robust, e-commerce enabled wireless Web sites. This book is written for advanced Webmasters who are experienced with conventional Web site design and are now faced with the challenge of creating sites that fit on the display of a Web enabled phone or PDA.
The rapid expansion of wireless devices presents a huge challenge for Webmasters - this book addresses that need for reliable information
There are lots of books for wireless developers - this is the first designed specifically for Webmasters
Looks at security issues in a Wireless environment

Microsoft Silverlight 2 is a new development platform designed to make the development of Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) far easier than has previously been possible. Pro Silverlight for the Enterprise addresses the question of how you can bring Silverlight 2 to your company to provide rich Internet experiences that will interface cleanly with your existing application architecture.

The book begins with a clear discussion of why Silverlight is such a good choice for developing RIAs and the implications that this has for your development decisions. The options available will be demonstrated by constructing a simple web–based training portal for a fictional enterprise, which will be extended and altered to demonstrate the techniques and methods that you have available to you. This includes accessing data using WCF and LINQ, and considering how best to deploy your finished Silverlight application when it is complete. The book also discusses the future of Silverlight for Mobile and how to plan for its release.

This book is unique in that it focuses on how Silverlight can be applied in today’s business environment rather than simply delving into the product’s syntax and grammar in isolation. Silverlight is discussed in context with consideration given to security, scalability, and deployment. As such this book makes an excellent addition to any Silverlight library and extends your knowledge into practical areas that are rarely discussed.

What you’ll learn

• Advanced design concepts to develop loosely coupled web–based applications using Silverlight 2
• The role of Silverlight library assembly
• How to use dynamic Silverlight user controls to build your user interface at runtime
• How to externalize your data source definitions
• LINQ integration
• WCF/Web services integration
• Secured same–domain/cross–domain deployment
• The ABCs of developing mobile applications using Silverlight, including coverage of the common pitfalls and traps you may encounter
• Practical advice on how to adopt the Silverlight development platform in you’re your organization

Who is this book for?

This book is for enterprise architects, IT executives and IT professionals, the developer community, technical and project managers, and anyone who wants to start using Silverlight 2 in a corporate environment.
