Book Synopsis Miss Entropia and the Adam Bomb by : George Rabasa
Download or read book Miss Entropia and the Adam Bomb written by George Rabasa. This book was released on 2011-04-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No other obsession strikes as hard as the love that hits a teenaged boy — especially if he’s the sort of kid who is no saner than he wants to be. From the moment Adam Webb sees Francine Haggard—in the van that is supposed to return them to the Institute Loiseaux—the two young mental patients are inextricably connected. Adam will never let this girl go. From hiding her in his bedroom to spiriting her away to Minnesota’s north woods, “Miss Entropia” becomes the focus of Adam’s every thought and of everything he does. He believes her to be a goddess, his own goddess. But the pyromaniacal Miss Entropia will be neither worshiped nor owned. And so Adam’s possessiveness is destined to push her to the breaking point. Theirs is an incendiary love story, an unbalanced Romeo and Juliet, that spins and arcs its way strangely toward tragedy.

Book excerpt: Emerging Technology Strategies and the Great Global Grid The next generation of the Internet will produce dramatic economic and social changes exceeding even the World Wide Web. Several emerging technologies are converging to create a Great Global Grid infrastructure where universal connectivity to large computing resources will be available for consumers and enterprises. The goal of this book is to provide a systematic survey of the full spectrum of Great Global Grid technologies from an enterprise viewpoint. The Great Global Grid - The range of technologies comprising the Great Global Grid is very wide. One of the main contributions of the book is to categorize these technologies in detail and to explain the dependencies among them. The technologies include: Application Servers and Portals Enterprise Application Integration and B2B Middleware Web Services and XML Messaging Peer-to-Peer Collaboration Pervasive Computing: Middleware and Software Platforms Distributed Resource Managers, Clusters and Grids Global Grid Middleware Conclusions for the Future Emerging Technology Strategies - The book does not hype these technologies or their benefits. Section 1 of the book describes examples of past emerging technologies that failed to realize their initial vision. Based on the lessons learned from these experiences, a pragmatic technology evaluation template is created that includes: Overview of the technology Relationships to other technologies Important technical and business trends Specific applications Industry and official standards Vendor overview by application area Leading implementation approaches Advice on deployment Future technical and business directions Recommendations Audience - The information collected in this book is not available from any other single source. The broad range of technologies, standards and vendors covered is necessary to understand the future enterprise applications of the Internet. The following groups should find the contents of this book especially valuable. Decision makers for the evaluation strategy and discussions of current products, standards and open issues Developers and architects for the overview of many advanced software technologies and their relationships Consultants for the industry analysis of vendors and business applications Futurists for the trends and research that are the basis of the next generation Internet Students for the industrial applications and open source projects
