Revised to reflect the dramatic growth of the Internet, this edition explores the new generation of the graphically-based search tools designed for the World Wide Web and the Internet. It also features updated coverage of traditional UNIX search tools along with how each tool works by research strategies to make each search as valuable as possible.

Virtual Reality (VR) enables us to navigate through the computer-controlled worlds, grasping and manipulating objects along the way. This is the first book to present a unified treatment of this hot topic, incorporating aspects of VR, including mathematical modeling, detailed integration issues, and human factors.

Scientific visualization refers to the use of colorful two- and three-dimensional computer graphics coupled with high-speed computation in order to help researchers better understand and solve scientific problems and find hidden patterns in data. Frontiers of Scientific Visualization discusses the use of the computer as a tool for simulation art, and discovery in a variety of fields, particularly to product visual representations of scientific phenomena.

Creating software for the growing international market presents many interesting and challenging problems. Complications range from cultural and linguistic differences affecting the user interface to monetary, time and date standards. In Global Software, these and other issues are explored with clear, comprehensive solutions. Information on planning to programming (with real program examples), as well as on marketing and presentation are given. Design errors and common pitfalls are pointed out to help readers avoid the same mistakes. The author also discusses export restrictions and other aspects of the politics surrounding international distribution. Global Software is for anyone interested in creating, programming, packaging, or distributing software for an international market. Foreward by John Sculley, CEO Apple Computer Inc.

The official, complete guide to implementing systems conformant with the increasingly-popular X/Open Single UNIX Specification.KEY TOPICS:This new Second Edition has been enhanced to reflect the successful rollout and implementation of UNIX operating systems conformant with the Single UNIX Specification, and carrying the X/Open UNIX 95 brand. It also includes a CD-ROM with extra features, including material to aid developers and implementors move beyond the specification to understand the system commands and system interfaces and how to use them.

With Graphic Java, Second Edition, you will explore the Java AWT in detail, and learn how to extend it to create the custom components you need for your Java applets and applications. Written for experienced programmers, Graphic Java provides detailed coverage of every aspect of the AWT, including graphics colors and fonts, menus, image manipulation, event handling, dialogs and AWT layout managers. Graphic Java also comes with a complete user interface toolkit built on top of the AWT, called the Graphic Java Toolkit (GVT), containing more than 30 custom components.

Everyone who prepares scientific or technical documents and presentations should know MATLAB! Learn MATLAB graphics from the ground up or add to your existing knowledge of this powerful graphics system in Graphics and GUIs with MATLAB. This easy-to-use book provides step-by-step tutorials that guide you through MATLAB graphics at your own pace. Unlike other books on this topic, Graphics and GUIs with MATLAB reaches beyond the norm and explores all of MATLAB's undocumented features and capabilities, sparing you from having to experimentally discover these on your own. In addition, it supplies you with the tools and knowledge needed to implement your specific MATLAB graphics needs and applications. Nowhere else can you find such a complete, easy-to-follow, time-saving guide to MATLAB.

This comprehensive guide provides you with knowledge on what computer viruses are, how to handle them, and to what extent you should worry about them. You will learn valuable guidelines on how to minimize the risk of infection and how to safeguard your data.

VHDL is clearly becoming the standard as an electronic hardware description language yet the Language Reference Manual is exceptionally cumbersome, if not difficult, to use various parts of the syntax for major constructs are spread in disparate sections throughout the Manual. This guide describes the complete syntax of the IEEE Std. 1076-1993 version of VHDL showing the complete syntax of major VHDL constructs and sub-constructs in an easy-to-read manner, with the clear examples of each.
