Ubiquitous Computing Fundamentals

Ubiquitous Computing Fundamentals

Ubiquitous Computing Fundamentals

First introduced two decades ago, the term ubiquitous computing is now part of the common vernacular. Ubicomp, as it is commonly called, has grown not just quickly but broadly so as to encompass a wealth of concepts and technology that serves any number of purposes across all of human endeavor. While such growth is positive, the newest generation of ubicomp practitioners and researchers, isolated to specific tasks, are in danger of losing their sense of history and the broader perspective that has been so essential to the field's creativity and brilliance.
Under the guidance of John Krumm, an original ubicomp pioneer, Ubiquitous Computing Fundamentals brings together eleven ubiquitous computing trailblazers who each report on his or her area of expertise. Starting with a historical introduction, the book moves on to summarize a number of self-contained topics. Taking a decidedly human perspective, the book includes discussion on how to observe people in their natural environments and evaluate the critical points where ubiquitous computing technologies can improve their lives. Among a range of topics this book examines:

How to build an infrastructure that supports ubiquitous computing applications

Privacy protection in systems that connect personal devices and personal information

Moving from the graphical to the ubiquitous computing user interface

Techniques that are revolutionizing the way we determine a person's location and understand other sensor measurements

While we needn't become expert in every sub-discipline of ubicomp, it is necessary that we appreciate all the perspectives that make up the field and understand how our work can influence and be influenced by those perspectives. This is important, if we are to encourage future generations to be as successfully innovative as the field's originators.

Mathematics for Computer Scientists

Mathematics for Computer Scientists

The aim of this book is to present some the basic mathematics that is needed by computer scientists. The reader is not expected to be a mathematician and we hopewill find what follows useful.Just a word of warming. Unless you a,re one of the irritating minority mathematics is hard. You cannot just read a mathematics book like a novel. The combination of the compression made by the symbols used and the precision of the argument makes this impossible. It takes time and effort to decipher the mathematics and understand the meaning. It is a little like programming, it takes time to understand a lot, of code and you never understand how to write code by just reading a manual – you have to do it! Mathematics is exactly the same, you need to do it.

Linux Email: Set Up and Run a Small Office Email Server

Linux Email: Set Up and Run a Small Office Email Server

Product Description

A simple step-by-step guide to setting up a Linux email server using the most popular free Open Source tools

  • All the information you need to easily set up your own Linux email server
  • Shows how to provide web access to email, virus and spam protection, and more
  • Techniques to backup and protect your data

  • Applications used include PostFix, Courier, SquirrelMail, SpamAssassin, ProcMail, and ClamAV

In Detail

Many businesses want to run their email servers on Linux, but getting started can be complicated. The attractiveness of a free-to-use and robust email service running on Linux can be undermined by the apparent technical challenges involved. Some of the complexity arises from the fact that an email server consists of several components that must be installed and configured separately, then integrated together. Unlike other approaches that deal with one component at a time, this book gives you a basic knowledge across all the server components, leaving you with a complete working email server for your small business network.

Based entirely on free, Open Source software, you will see how to protect your server from spam and viruses, offer web access for remote access, and secure your installation with regular backups.

What you will learn from this book?

  • Setting up and running a Linux-based email server
  • Key information about installing, configuring, and using PostFix, Courier, SquirrelMail, ProcMail, ClamAV, and SpamAssassin
  • Securing and protecting your installation from viruses, spam, intruders, and hardware failure

Approach

The book takes a practical, step-by-step approach to working with email. We start by establishing the basics, so that your users can send and receive their email in their favourite email client. We then move on to look at providing web access, so that users can access their email out of the office. After this we look at the features you’ll want to add to improve email productivity: virus protection, spam detection, and automatic email processing. Finally we look at an essential maintenance task: backups.

Who this book is written for?

This book aimed at ‘unofficial’ sysadmins in small businesses, who want to set up a Linux-based email server without spending a lot of time becoming expert in the individual applications.
