Professional IIS 7

Book Description

This book is a complete reference to IIS7.0---both for developers and administrators. In addition to covering the common administrative tasks, this book will take an in depth look at IIS7.0 extensibility and operations management. This information will be pulled from people running major intranets and web hosting facilities. The book will differentiate itself from other IIS 7.0 books by showing how to:

* Automate administrative tasks.
* Monitor and manage an IIS environment, including MOF (Microsoft Operations Framework) and MOM (Microsoft Operations Manager). This information would be useful to systems administrators after they have deployed an IIS solution, by ensuring they are able to stabilize and monitor the environment.
* Debug and troubleshoot IIS. Few people (outside PSS and so forth) have the necessary information on available tools and how to use them effe ctively.
* Secure the IIS environment--including coverage of authentication protocols, PKI/SSL etc. Most books merely remark that a particular protocol is "secure" (or not secure) without detailing how these protocols work, what their strengths are, and how they can be subverted.
* Extend IIS7.0 through the use of ISAPI filters and HTTPModules.
* Master advanced topics (such as Network Load Balancing/High Availability) that are not covered by other books. Our author team has experience in large scale IIS hosting that few others do.

Global Positioning: Technologies and Performance

Book Description

From stars to terrestrial networks and satellites

From outdoors to indoors

From ancient to future applications

From techniques to technologies . . .

The field of radionavigation signals and systems has seen significant growth in recent years. Satellite systems are very efficient, but owing to their limited exposure and/or availability in some environments, they do not cover the whole spectrum of applications. Thus, many other positioning techniques are being developed.

Now, Global Positioning presents an overview of the strengths and weaknesses of various systems with a specific emphasis on those that are satellite-based. Beginning with a description of the evolution of positioning systems, the book provides detailed coverage of the three main Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) constellations, discusses how to cope with indoor positioning, defines development activities and commercial positioning, and proposes a vision for the future of the field.
