Book Synopsis The Inventions of Louis Pouzin by : Chantal Lebrument
Download or read book The Inventions of Louis Pouzin written by Chantal Lebrument and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-12-17 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book recounts the adventures of Louis Pouzin who invented one of the core elements for transmitting data over today’s Internet, the datagram. He also created one of the most widely used computer programming languages, the Shell; and is currently, at age 88, a leader in the development of a new Internet, RINA. Louis Pouzin is not well known in his own country, France, but is acclaimed by his peers internationally. He was ignored in France for years although he is one of the very few French scientists who has met Queen Elizabeth II three times. This lack of appreciation on the part of the French public is also due to the fact that, despite the motto “publish or perish” current in scientific circles, he has an impressive list of scientific publications but only one book in English, to present his incredible achievement carried out with an exceptional team: the Cyclades project. This book is the story of a life and a team. It is the journey of a visionary intellectual who has always been one step ahead and has fully adapted to the 21st century though born into a very modest family in a small village in central France at the beginning of the 20th century... What makes Louis Pouzin so special is that he is a leader and decision-maker who knows how to attract the right people to get projects done. He never admits defeat, even when short-sighted politicians absurdly order him to scrap his breakthroughs. In its making, this book which is written for everyone interested in the true history of the Web, has strictly respected the basic rules of any journalistic investigation: interviews with those who made history, cross-referencing of sources, and documentary research.
Book Synopsis Prophets of Computing by : Dick van Lente
Download or read book Prophets of Computing written by Dick van Lente and published by Morgan & Claypool. This book was released on 2022-12-14 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When electronic digital computers first appeared after World War II, they appeared as a revolutionary force. Business management, the world of work, administrative life, the nation state, and soon enough everyday life were expected to change dramatically with these machines’ use. Ever since, diverse prophecies of computing have continually emerged, through to the present day. As computing spread beyond the US and UK, such prophecies emerged from strikingly different economic, political, and cultural conditions. This volume explores how these expectations differed, assesses unexpected commonalities, and suggests ways to understand the divergences and convergences. This book examines thirteen countries, based on source material in ten different languages—the effort of an international team of scholars. In addition to analyses of debates, political changes, and popular speculations, we also show a wide range of pictorial representations of "the future with computers."

Book Synopsis Oral Histories of the Internet and the Web by : Niels Brügger
Download or read book Oral Histories of the Internet and the Web written by Niels Brügger and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-10-25 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The internet and the web are among the largest human-made technological artefacts ever created. Many facets of how these inventions came into being have been depicted in books and journal articles about the histories of the internet and the web. But the voices of those who took part in the creation and development of these technologies that have changed our culture and societies profoundly have only occasionally found a home. Oral Histories of the Internet and the Web brings together a number of interviews with people who in various ways have affected the establishing and evolution of the internet and the web, and in contrast to the historical accounts these interviews give a sense of lived and living history. The interviews were originally published in the interdisciplinary journal Internet Histories: Digital Technology, Culture and Society between 2017 and 2022.
Book Synopsis The Routledge Companion to Global Internet Histories by : Gerard Goggin
Download or read book The Routledge Companion to Global Internet Histories written by Gerard Goggin and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-02-17 with total page 571 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Companion to Global Internet Histories brings together research on the diverse Internet histories that have evolved in different regions, language cultures and social contexts across the globe. While the Internet is now in its fifth decade, the understanding and formulation of its histories outside of an anglophone framework is still very much in its infancy. From Tunisia to Taiwan, this volume emphasizes the importance of understanding and formulating Internet histories outside of the anglophone case studies and theoretical paradigms that have thus far dominated academic scholarship on Internet history. Interdisciplinary in scope, the collection offers a variety of historical lenses on the development of the Internet: as a new communication technology seen in the context of older technologies; as a new form of sociality read alongside previous technologically mediated means of relating; and as a new media "vehicle" for the communication of content.
Book Synopsis Perspectives on Soviet and Russian Computing by : John Impagliazzo
Download or read book Perspectives on Soviet and Russian Computing written by John Impagliazzo and published by Springer. This book was released on 2011-09-06 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains a collection of thoroughly refereed papers derived from the First IFIP WG 9.7 Conference on Soviet and Russian Computing, held in Petrozavodsk, Russia, in July 2006. The 32 revised papers were carefully selected from numerous submissions; many of them were translated from Russian. They reflect much of the shining history of computing activities within the former Soviet Union from its origins in the 1950s with the first computers used for military decision-making problems up to the modern period where Russian ICT grew substantially, especially in the field of custom-made programming.

On y retrouve également l'historique des notions chères à Knuth : découpage d'un paragraphe en ligne, grammaires à attributs et vocabulaire de l'analyse des algorithmes. Donald E. Knuth, professeur émérite à l'université Stanford, est l'un des pionniers de l'algorithmique. Le Centre pour l'Étude des Languages et l'Information (CSLI) de l'université de Stanford et la Société Mathématique de France vous proposent la traduction en français de deux sélections d'articles de Donald E. Knuth, la première portant sur l'histoire de l'informatique, et l'autre sur l'algorithmique. Rappelons que Donald E. Knuth, est l'un des pionniers de l'algorithmique. Il est l'auteur d'une centaine d'articles et d'une dizaine de livres sur l'algorithmique et les mathématiques discrètes. Les quatre premiers volumes de The Art of Computer Programming demeurent un ouvrage de référence. Il est aussi l'auteur des logiciels TeX et METAFONT qui ont révolutionnés la typographie.
Book Synopsis Italy in the International System from Détente to the End of the Cold War by : Antonio Varsori
Download or read book Italy in the International System from Détente to the End of the Cold War written by Antonio Varsori and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection offers a new approach to the study of Italy’s foreign policy from the 1960s to the end of the Cold War, highlighting its complex and sometimes ambiguous goals, due to the intricacies of its internal system and delicate position in the fault line of the East-West and North-South divides. According to received opinion, during the Cold War era Italy was more an object rather than a factor in active foreign policy, limiting itself to paying lip service to the Western alliance and the European integration process, without any pretension to exerting a substantial international influence. Eleven contributions by leading Italian historians reappraise Italy’s international role, addressing three complex and intertwined issues, namely, the country’s political-diplomatic dimension; the economic factors affecting Rome’s international stance; and Italy’s role in new approaches to the international system and the influence of political parties’ cultures in the nation’s foreign policy.
Book Synopsis Les trajectoires de l'innovation technologique et la construction européenne by : Christophe Bouneau
Download or read book Les trajectoires de l'innovation technologique et la construction européenne written by Christophe Bouneau and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2010 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le processus d'intégration européenne a été interconnecté avec science et technologie seulement apparemment au cours de la dernière décennie. Au contraire, dès les années 1950 les États membres de la CEE et ses potentiels candidats ont été engagés dans différents projets et tentatives de coopération dans les secteurs de la science et la technologie. Les gouvernements nationaux non seulement choisirent la voie intergouvernementale, mais ils essayèrent de profiter du cadre communautaire. Ces tentatives ont produit d'autres projets débattus au niveau de la CEE sur la standardisation de l'automobile ou sur l'énergie nucléaire et les solutions à crise pétrolière, la coopération européenne a été expérimentée avec succès dans d'autres secteurs mais non seulement dans le « berceau » communautaire, tels que l'aéronautique ou les réseaux électriques. Ces expériences et débats sur la construction européenne techno-scientifique ont été confrontés à la compétition transatlantique, et même à celle intra-européenne. En tous cas, comme les plus récents développements semblent prouver, l'Union européenne est destinée à jouer un rôle d'innovateur technologique. Grâce à une approche historique transnationale et interdisciplinaire, serions-nous capables de suggérer quel rôle, et selon quelles trajectoires ? Ostensibly the European integration process has been interconnected with science and technology only in the last decade. On the other hand, since the 1950s EEC member states and would-be members have been engaged in several projects and attempts to cooperate in science and technology. National governments not only chose the intergovernmental way, but also they tried to take advantage of the communitarian framework. These attempts produced some successes inside the EEC including the European Commission's framework programme. Appart from some projects discussed at EEC level on automobile standardisation, nuclear energy and supplies during oil crisis, European cooperation in aircraft or electric power was successfully experimented but outside the communitarian networks. These experiences and debates on a European techno-scientific construction encountered competition from across the Atlantic as well as within Europe. As the most recent developments seem to prove, the European Union has to play a role of technological innovator. Thanks to a transnational and interdisciplinary historical approach, are we able to suggest which role, and by which trends?

Book Synopsis Estimation des projets de l'entreprise numérique : Approche systémique, coûts, qualité et délais by : PRINTZ Jacques
Download or read book Estimation des projets de l'entreprise numérique : Approche systémique, coûts, qualité et délais written by PRINTZ Jacques and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les projets informatiques sont désormais développés dans le cadre d’un système existant. Ils doivent, in fine, s’intégrer en interaction avec d’autres projets, sur les infrastructures communes de l’entreprise et sans interrompre le service : c’est la notion d’usine logicielle. Estimation des projets de l’entreprise numérique s’intéresse particulièrement à l’analyse des coûts d’intégration. Un modèle original d’estimation de ces coûts est proposé assurant l’équilibrage des quatre grandeurs fondamentales : coût, qualité, fonctionnalité et délai. Cet ouvrage bénéficie des travaux effectués par le groupe de travail Intégration & Complexité de l’association CESAMES, en relation avec la chaire X-ParisTech, ce qui a permis de valider le modèle avec les industriels participants. Il présente en détail le modèle COCOMO et dresse les grandes lignes de la méthode de comptage par points de fonctions. Une étude de cas basée sur les systèmes C4ISTAR illustre l’utilisation de ces méthodes dans un contexte de systèmes réels de grande complexité.
