IC156-HP-WLAN Wireless 802.11B Print Server Jetdirect

May 3, 2010 by BPELforum

Product Description
IC156-WLAN-HP allows users to connect any Hewlett Packard printer with EIO port to any WLAN environment, entirely eliminating the need for cables. It supports two operating modes – infrastructure mode (access point mode) and AdHoc mode (Peer-to-Peer), therefore, also allowing direct communication between WLAN devices (laptops, etc.) and the attached printer. The operating mode used is automatically detected by the print server. It allows transmission distances in the open space up to 160 m, in typical office buildings up to 30 m. The IC156 uses 64/128 bits WEP encryption for eaves-dropping-secure data transfer.

Environment and Resettlement Politics in China: The Three Gorges Project

May 1, 2010 by BPELforum

Product Description
The Three Gorges dam, under construction on the Yantgze River in China, is controversial both inside and outside China, particularly because of the large number of people to be resettled (officially 1.2 million) and the environmental impacts. Using material previously unavailable in any Western language, this text analyses the Chinese discussions over policy-making for the resettlement process and impacts. It concludes that the environment and resettlement policies have been linked in a new way in this project. However, despite these positive developments, it argues that the social impacts from resettlement have not yet reached a high level of political attention and that the Chinese authorities need to acknowledge that resettlement has social costs. The book provides an understanding of the social, political and economic factors of one of the largest and most controversial development projects currently being implemented. It also sheds light on China’s policy-making procedures and political priorities over the 1990s.

Political Ecology and the Role of Water: Environment, Society and Economy in Northern Yemen

May 1, 2010 by BPELforum

Product Description
How can we explain the over-exploitation and degradation of natural resources in the countries of the South? Population growth, poverty and problems associated with common property resource management have been common themes in this debate, yet insufficient attention has been paid to how traditional political relations and local perceptions affect natural resource capture and resource allocation. This is especially evident with respect to groups and communities at the political and geographical peripheries of state influence and control for whom self-identity is constructed around notions of autonomy and food self-sufficiency. This informative book addresses this omission by discussing water resource allocation and management. It focuses in particular on the socio-economic and political contexts which influence approaches to and determine practices of water management. Taking the example of the tribal communities of the Sa’dah basin in the northern Yemen, it analyzes the politics of environmental change, with particular reference to groundwater resource degradation, within the conceptual framework of “political ecology”.

The Zen of SOA: An Executive Blueprint to Web-Enable Your Organization With Service-Oriented Architecture

May 1, 2010 by BPELforum

Product Description
Organizations face quite different challenges in laying out a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) blueprint. Internal integration needs may be more straightforward, but business models may focus less on internal integration than external partners or customers. Traditional approaches like EAI, however, are notoriously inflexible and expensive. The author has been consulted by many such organizations leveraging agile development practices and Web services to reduce the cost of older approaches to address their integration and new development needs. The simple addition of Web services interfaces, however, typically remains as inflexible as approaches previously available. Only through the application of Service-Oriented Architecture can C-level executives build and leverage loosely coupled Web services that are flexible enough to respond to ongoing change in the larger environment. This blueprint provides a clear methodology to guide SOA implementations. ISBN 978-0-615-24703-8

Modern Business Process Automation: YAWL and its Support Environment

April 28, 2010 by BPELforum

Product Description

Topics covered include: The fundamentals of business process modeling, including workflow patterns, an in-depth treatment of process flexibility, including approaches to dealing with on-the-fly changes, unexpected exceptions, and constraint-based processes, Technological aspects of a modern BPM environment, including its architecture, process design environment, process engine, resource handler and other support services, a comparative insight into current approaches to business process modeling and execution such as BPMN, EPCs, BPEL, jBPM, OpenWFE, and Enhydra Shark, process mining, verification, integration and configuration; and case studies in health care and screen business.

This book provides a comprehensive treatment of the field of Business Process Management (BPM) with a focus on Business Process Automation. It achieves this by covering a wide range of topics, both introductory and advanced, illustrated through and grounded in the YAWL (Yet Another Workflow Language) language and corresponding open-source support environment. In doing so it provides the reader with a deep, timeless, and vendor-independent understanding of the essential ingredients of business process automation.

The BPM field is in a continual state of flux and is subject to both the ongoing proposal of new standards and the introduction of new tools and technology. Its fundamentals however are relatively stable and this book aims to equip the reader with both a thorough understanding of them and the ability to apply them to better understand, assess and utilize new developments in the BPM field.

As a consequence of its topic-based format and the inclusion of a broad range of exercises, the book is eminently suitable for use in tertiary education, both at the undergraduate and the postgraduate level, for students of computer science and information systems. BPM researchers and practitioners will also find it a valuable resource. The book serves as a unique reference to a varied and comprehensive collection of topics that are relevant to the business process life-cycle.
