Book Description
Open source provides the competitive advantage in the Internet Age. According to the August Forrester Report, 56 percent of IT managers interviewed at Global 2,500 companies are already using some type of open source software in their infrastructure and another 6 percent will install it in the next two years. This revolutionary model for collaborative software development is being embraced and studied by many of the biggest players in the high-tech industry, from Sun Microsystems to IBM to Intel. The Cathedral & the Bazaar is a must for anyone who cares about the future of the computer industry or the dynamics of the information economy. Already, billions of dollars have been made and lost based on the ideas in this book. Its conclusions will be studied, debated, and implemented for years to come. According to Bob Young, "This is Eric Raymond's great contribution to the success of the open source revolution, to the adoption of Linux-based operating systems, and to the success of open source users and the companies that supply them." The interest in open source software development has grown enormously in the past year. This revised and expanded hardback edition includes new material on open source developments in 1999 and 2000. Raymond's clear and effective writing style accurately describing the benefits of open source software has been key to its success. With major vendors creating acceptance for open source within companies, independent vendors will become the open source story in 2001.

Book Description
* Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes. By reading this summary, you will discover the history and rules of hacker culture. You will also discover that : you must not confuse hacker and pirate, the first being benevolent unlike the second; the "hacker" culture was born in the 1960s with the first microcomputers and the first communication networks; contrary to appearances, the hacker community is organized with implicit rules and real values; the economic model proposed by open source is revolutionary and perfectly viable. In 1997, Eric S. Raymond revealed the world of hackers in his famous essay "The Cathedral and the Bazaar". Other texts followed, in which the author deepened his analysis of the hacker community (hackerdom). Contrary to popular belief, the hackerdom community is highly organized and forms a socio-economic model in its own right. This new mode of production and organization of work could even inspire other fields of activity, carrying forgotten values of mutual aid and pleasure at work. Whether you are a "geek" or not, dive into the world of hackers! *Buy now the summary of this book for the modest price of a cup of coffee!

Book Description
Leggendo questa sintesi, scoprirete la storia e le regole della cultura hacker. Scoprirete anche che : non bisogna confondere hacker e pirata, il primo è benevolo a differenza del secondo; la cultura "hacker" è nata negli anni '60 con i primi microcomputer e le prime reti di comunicazione; contrariamente alle apparenze, la comunità hacker è organizzata con regole implicite e valori reali; il modello economico proposto dall'open source è rivoluzionario e perfettamente attuabile. Nel 1997, Eric S. Raymond ha svelato il mondo degli hacker nel suo famoso saggio "La cattedrale e il bazar". Seguirono altri testi in cui l'autore approfondì l'analisi della comunità hacker (hackerdom). Contrariamente a quanto si crede, la comunità hacker è altamente organizzata e costituisce un modello socio-economico a sé stante. Questo nuovo modo di produzione e di organizzazione del lavoro potrebbe addirittura ispirare altri campi di attività, portando con sé i valori dimenticati dell'aiuto reciproco e del piacere del lavoro. Che siate "geek" o meno, tuffatevi nel mondo degli hacker!

Structures and Architecture. A Viable Urban Perspective?
Author: Marie Frier HvejselPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 100078620X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 1782
Book Description
Structures and Architecture. A Viable Urban Perspective? contains extended abstracts of the research papers and prototype submissions presented at the Fifth International Conference on Structures and Architecture (ICSA2022, Aalborg, Denmark, 6-8 July 2022). The book (578 pages) also includes a USB with the full texts of the papers (1448 pages). The contributions on creative and scientific aspects in the conception and construction of structures as architecture, and on the role of advanced digital-, industrial- and craft -based technologies in this matter represent a critical blend of scientific, technical, and practical novelties in both fields. Hence, as part of the proceedings series Structures and Architecture, the volume adds to a continuous exploration and development of the synergetic potentials of the fields of Structures and Architecture. With each volume further challenging the conditions, problems, and potentials related to the art, practice, and theory of teaching, researching, designing, and building structures as vehicles towards a viable architecture of the urban environment. The volumes of the series appear once every three years, in tandem with the conferences organized by the International Association of Structures and Architecture and are intended for a global readership of researchers, practitioners, and students, including architects, structural and construction engineers, builders and building consultants, constructors, material suppliers, planners, urban designers, anthropologists, economists, sociologists, artists, product manufacturers, and other professionals involved in the design and realization of architectural, structural, and infrastructural projects.
Paradata and Transparency in Virtual Heritage

ISBN: 131708425X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 366
Book Description
Computer-Generated Images (CGIs) are widely used and accepted in the world of entertainment but the use of the very same visualization techniques in academic research in the Arts and Humanities remains controversial. The techniques and conceptual perspectives on heritage visualization are a subject of an ongoing interdisciplinary debate. By demonstrating scholarly excellence and best technical practice in this area, this volume is concerned with the challenge of providing intellectual transparency and accountability in visualization-based historical research. Addressing a range of cognitive and technological challenges, the authors make a strong case for a wider recognition of three-dimensional visualization as a constructive, intellectual process and valid methodology for historical research and its communication. Intellectual transparency of visualization-based research, the pervading theme of this volume, is addressed from different perspectives reflecting the theory and practice of respective disciplines. The contributors - archaeologists, cultural historians, computer scientists and ICT practitioners - emphasize the importance of reliable tools, in particular documenting the process of interpretation of historical material and hypotheses that arise in the course of research. The discussion of this issue refers to all aspects of the intellectual content of visualization and is centred around the concept of 'paradata'. Paradata document interpretative processes so that a degree of reliability of visualization outcomes can be understood. The disadvantages of not providing this kind of intellectual transparency in the communication of historical content may result in visual products that only convey a small percentage of the knowledge that they embody, thus making research findings not susceptible to peer review and rendering them closed to further discussion. It is argued, therefore, that paradata should be recorded alongside more tangible outcomes of research, preferably as an integral part of virtual models, and sustained beyond the life-span of the technology that underpins visualization.
Researching Internet Governance

Pages : 325
Book Description
Scholars from a range of disciplines discuss research methods, theories, and conceptual approaches in the study of internet governance. The design and governance of the internet has become one of the most pressing geopolitical issues of our era. The stability of the economy, democracy, and the public sphere are wholly dependent on the stability and security of the internet. Revelations about election hacking, facial recognition technology, and government surveillance have gotten the public's attention and made clear the need for scholarly research that examines internet governance both empirically and conceptually. In this volume, scholars from a range of disciplines consider research methods, theories, and conceptual approaches in the study of internet governance.
