This case study reports an Enterprise modeling and application integration project for a young telecommunications company providing broadband applications for the SME market. The project’s aim was to define and implement an Enterprise Layer, serving as an integration layer on top of which the existing BSS/OSS would function independently and in parallel. The case details the conception of a unifying Enterprise Model and the formulation of an implementation architecture for the Enterprise Layer, based on the Enterprise JavaBeans framework. Buy Now!

This book can be presented in two different ways; introducing a particular methodology to build adaptive Web sites and; presenting the main concepts behind Web mining and then applying them to adaptive Web sites. In this case, adaptive Web sites is the case study to exemplify the tools introduced in the text. The authors start by introducing the Web and motivating the need for adaptive Web sites. The second chapter introduces the main concepts behind a Web site: its operation, its associated data and structure, user sessions, etc. Chapter three explains the Web mining process and the tools to analyze Web data, mainly focused in machine learning. The fourth chapter looks at how to store and manage data. Chapter five looks at the three main and different mining tasks: content, links and usage. The following chapter covers Web personalization, a crucial topic if we want to adapt our site to specific groups of people. Chapter seven shows how to use information extraction techniques to find user behavior patterns. The subsequent chapter explains how to acquire and maintain knowledge extracted from the previous phase. Finally, chapter nine contains the case study where all the previous concepts are applied to present a framework to build adaptive Web sites. In other words, the authors have taken care of writing a self-contained book for people that want to learn and apply personalization and adaptation in Web sites. This is commendable considering the large and increasing bibliography in these and related topics. The writing is easy to follow and although the coverage is not exhaustive, the main concepts and topics are all covered. Buy Now!

This is a practical introduction to the fundamentals of .NET Web development for experienced programmers who are now learning .NET. Using rich code examples, this book covers the entire process of .NET Web development, and all the relevant technologies, from ASP.NET to XML. The authors offer a concise review of traditional Web development, then demonstrate the value .NET adds for those building advanced Web applications and services. After introducing .NET’s key languages, they present a straightforward migration path from current technologies to ASP.NET, ADO.NET and VB.NET. Coverage includes: .NET framework and architecture; the role of XML, SOAP, and UDDI in .NET development; new techniques such as object remoting; and interoperability with non-.NET systems. The book’s key concepts are tied together through a case study that is shared by other books in this .NET series from Object Innovations and Prentice Hall PTR — giving readers a jumpstart when they’re ready for other books in the series.
