ISBN: 9781848217478 • 2015 • 314 pages • USD 125.00 • ISTE-WILEY
Contents
The performance of a computer network is among the key elements that
determine its operational quality; performance evaluation cannot be only
treated empirically.
This book presents the two most commonly used methodologies for
performance evaluation in computer networks: simulation using specialized
software and mathematical modeling. A large part is dedicated to
simulation, especially within its theoretical framework, and the precautions
which need to be taken in the implementation and experimental procedure.
These principles are illustrated by concrete examples realized through the
OMNeT++ simulation framework.
The mathematical method (queueing theory, Markov process) is presented
as an indispensable complementary approach to simulation. Both
methodologies are based largely on the theory of probability, and statistics.
A reminder of the basic results is also available.

Scheduling of Large-scale Virtualized Infrastructures
Toward Cooperative Management
Flavien Quesnel, Ecole des Mines, Nantes
Coordinated by Narendra Jussien
ISBN: 9781848216204 • 2014 • 192 pages • USD 90.00 • ISTE-WILEY
Contents
Increasing needs in computing power are satisfied nowadays by federating
more and more computers (or nodes) to build distributed infrastructures.
Historically, these infrastructures have been managed by means of userspace frameworks or distributed operating systems.
Over the past few years, a new kind of software manager has appeared,
managers that rely on system virtualization. System virtualization allows the
software to be disassociated from the underlying node by encapsulating it
in a virtual machine.
The contribution of this book lies precisely in this area of research; more
specifically, the author proposes DVMS (Distributed Virtual Machine
Scheduler), a more decentralized application to dynamically schedule
virtual machines hosted on a distributed infrastructure. These virtual
machines are created, deployed on nodes and managed during their entire
lifecycle by virtual infrastructure managers (VIMs). Ways to improve the
scalability of VIMs are proposed, one of which consists of decentralizing the
processing of several management tasks.

Contents
This book explores the various roles played by music in a rhetoric discourse
or in an argumentative construction. The author develops the computer
modeling of a number of simple and relatively commonly accepted aspects
of music rhetoric. Therefore, in addition to an analysis of musical features
that are important to rhetoric, this book introduces computational
formalisms and representations used particularly in computational
linguistics which turn out to be appropriate and sufficiently expressive for an
analysis of music rhetoric.

Rapid Prototyping of Software for Avionics Systems
Model-oriented Approaches for Complex Systems Certification
Nicolas Larrieu and Antoine Varet, ENAC (French Civil Aviation University), France
Coordinated by Guy Pujolle
ISBN: 9781848217645 • 2014 • 152 pages • USD 90.00 • ISTE-WILEY
Contents
The design, implementation and validation of avionics and aeronautical
systems have become extremely complex tasks due to the increase of
functionalities that are deployed in current avionics systems and the need
to be able certify them before putting them into production.
This book proposes a methodology to enable the rapid prototyping of such
a system by considering from the start the certification aspects of the
solution produced. This method takes advantage of the model-based
design approaches as well as the use of formal methods for the validation
of these systems. Furthermore, the use of automatic software code
generation tools using models makes it possible to reduce the development
phase as well as the final solution testing.
This book presents, firstly, an overview of the model-based design
approaches such as those used in the field of aeronautical software
engineering. Secondly, an original methodology that is perfectly adapted to
the field of aeronautical embedded systems is introduced. Finally, the
authors illustrate the use of this method using a case study for the design,
implementation and testing of a new generation aeronautical router.

Algorithms and Ordering Heuristics for Distributed Constraint
Satisfaction Problems
Mohamed Wahbi, Ecole des Mines de Nantes, France
Coordinated by Narendra Jussien
ISBN: 9781848215948 • 2013 • 176 pages • USD 75.00 • ISTE-WILEY
A wide variety of problems in artificial intelligence are solved
using the constraint satisfaction problem paradigm. However,
there are several applications in multi-agent coordination that
are of a distributed nature. In this type of application, the
knowledge about the problem, that is, variables and
constraints, may be logically or geographically distributed
among physical distributed agents.
This distribution is mainly due to privacy and/or security
requirements. Therefore, a distributed model allowing a
decentralized solving process is more adequate to model and
solve such kinds of problem. The distributed constraint
satisfaction problem has such properties.

LMF — Lexical Markup Framework

Coordinated by Patrick Paroubek
ISBN: 9781848214309 • 2013 • 288 pages • USD 125.00 • ISTE-WILEY
The goals of LMF are to provide a common model for the
creation and use of lexical resources, to manage the exchange
of data between and among these resources, and to enable the
merging of a large number of individual electronic resources to
form extensive global electronic resources.
The various types of individual instantiations of LMF can
include monolingual, bilingual or multilingual lexical resources.
The same specifications can be used for small and large
lexicons, both simple and complex, as well as for both written
and spoken lexical representations.
The descriptions range from morphology, syntax and
computational semantics to computer-assisted translation. The
languages covered are not restricted to European languages,
but apply to all natural languages.
The LMF specification is now a success and numerous lexicon
managers currently use LMF in different languages and
contexts.

Computer Engineering Series
ISBN: 9781848213296 • 2012 • 256 pages • USD 96.00 • ISTE-WILEY
Contents
ARM designs the cores of microcontrollers which
equip most “embedded systems” based on 32-bit
processors. Cortex-M3 is one of these designs,
recently developed by ARM with microcontroller
applications in mind.
This book explains the basics of programming in
an assembly language, while being based on the
architecture of Cortex-M3 in detail and developing
many examples.
1. Overview of Cortex-M3 Architecture. – 2. The Core of Cortex-M3.
3. The Proper Use of Assembly Directives. – 4. Operands of Instructions.
5. Instruction Set. – 6. Algorithmic and Data Structures.
7. Internal Modularity. – 8. Managing Exceptions.
9. From Listing to Executable: External Modularity.
