IPv6 in Practice A Unixer’s Guide to the Next Generation Internet


Free Download IPv6 in Practice: A Unixer’s Guide to the Next Generation Internet By Benedikt Stockebrand (auth.)
2007 | 390 Pages | ISBN: 3540245243 | PDF | 2 MB
Handling IPv6 for the first time is a challenging task even for the experienced system administrator. Even though IPv6 is in many ways simpler, more reliable, and easier to operate than today’s IPv4, its new concepts and mechanisms make it necessary to rethink a number of well-established methods and practices.This book is a practical guide to IPv6 addressing Unix and network administrators with experience in TCP/IP(v4) but not necessarily any IPv6 knowledge. It focuses on reliable and efficient operation of IPv6 implementations available today rather than on protocol specifications. Consequently, it covers the essential concepts – using instructive and thoroughly tested examples – on how to configure, to administrate, and to debug IPv6 setups. These foundations are complemented by discussions of best practices and strategic considerations aimed at overall efficiency, reliability, maintainability, and interoperation.The examples in this book cover all technologically relevant aspects concerning Debian GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris. Examples about other Unix derivatives are available online at www.benedikt-stockebrand.de.

Active Conceptual Modeling of Learning Next Generation Learning-Base System Development


Free Download Active Conceptual Modeling of Learning: Next Generation Learning-Base System Development By Peter P. Chen, Leah Y. Wong (auth.), Peter P. Chen, Leah Y. Wong (eds.)
2007 | 227 Pages | ISBN: 3540775021 | PDF | 4 MB
This volume contains a collection of the papers presented during the First International ACM-L Workshop, which was held in Tucson, Arizona, during the 25th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, ER 2006.Included in this state-of-the-art survey are 11 revised full papers, carefully reviewed and selected from the workshop presentations. These are topped off with 4 invited lectures and an introductory and motivational overview.Taken as a whole, these papers cover virtually all of the current thinking in conceptual modeling research.The workshop in question focused on enhancing the fundamental understanding of how to model continual learning from past experiences and how to capture knowledge from transitions between system states.Active conceptual modeling is a continual process of describing all aspects of a domain, its activities, and changes from different perspectives based on our knowledge and understanding.
