Global IPv6 strategies: from business analysis to operational planning
The Internet protocol (IP), also known as IPv4, has started to show limitations in terms of capacity and scalability, and it can easily be said that it is a victim of its own success. On one side, the diffusion of IP-aware mobile devices and the... more

Cognition and multi-agent interaction: from cognitive modeling to social simulation
While theories of cognition can be traced to antiquity, modern cognitive science is very much a child of the computer age. One powerful approach to studying cognition is to construct a computer model that embodies a theory, and to use it to explore... more

Design patterns in Ruby
I generally avoid reviewing a book for which there are already adequate reviews online--such as on Amazon--but this book warrants additional recognition. As other reviewers have noted, the book is not just a reference of design patterns. It is first an exposition of... more
