Publisher's Synopsis
When you think about how far and fast computer science has progressed in recent years, it's not hard to conclude that a seven-year old handbook may fall a little short of the kind of reference today's computer scientists, software engineers, and IT professionals need.
With a broadened scope, more emphasis on applied computing, and more than 70 chapters either new or significantly revised, the Computer Science Handbook, Second Edition CD-ROM is exactly the kind of reference you need. This rich collection of theory and practice fully characterizes the current state of the field and conveys the modern spirit, accomplishments, and direction of computer science.
Highlights of the Second Edition:
cryptography computational chemistry computational astrophysics human-centered software development
cognitive modeling transaction processing data compression
scripting languages event-driven programming
software architecture
