Kaddour Najim, Enso Ikonen, Ait-Kadi Daoud, "Stochastic Processes: Estimation,
Optimisation and Analysis"
Butterworth-Heinemann | ISBN 1903996554 | 2004 Year | DjVu | 3 Mb | 305 Pages
A stochastic process is a random or conjectural process, and this book is
concerned with applied probability and statistics. Whilst maintaining the
mathematical rigour this subject requires, it addresses topics of interest to
engineers, such as problems in modelling, control, reliability maintenance, data
analysis and engineering involvement with insurance.
This book deals with the tools and techniques used in the stochastic process
estimation, optimisation and recursive logarithms in a form accessible to
engineers and which can also be applied to Matlab.
Amongst the themes covered in the chapters are mathematical expectation arising
from increasing information patterns, the estimation of probability
distribution, the treatment of distribution of real random phenomena (in
engineering, economics, biology and medicine etc), and expectation maximisation.
The latter part of the book considers optimization algorithms, which can be
used, for example, to help in the better utilization of resources, and
stochastic approximation algorithms, which can provide prototype models in many
practical applications.

Douglas Mauro, Kevin Schmidt, "Essential SNMP" (2nd edition)
O'Reilly | ISBN 0596008406 | September 21, 2005 Year | CHM | 2,56 Mb | 460 Pages
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides a "simple" set of
operations that allows you to more easily monitor and manage network devices
like routers, switches, servers, printers, and more. The information you can
monitor with SNMP is wide-ranging from standard items, like the amount of
traffic flowing into an interface, to far more esoteric items, like the air
temperature inside a router. In spite of its name, though, SNMP is not
especially simple to learn.
O'Reilly has answered the call for help with a practical introduction that shows
how to install, configure, and manage SNMP. Written for network and system
administrators, the book introduces the basics of SNMP and then offers a
technical background on how to use it effectively. Essential SNMP explores both
commercial and open source packages, and elements like OIDs, MIBs, community
strings, and traps are covered in depth. The book contains five new chapters and
various updates throughout. Other new topics include:
Expanded coverage of SNMPv1, SNMPv2, and SNMPv3
Expanded coverage of SNMPc
The concepts behind network management and change management
RRDTool and Cricket
The use of scripts for a variety of tasks
How Java can be used to create SNMP applications
Net-SNMP's Perl module
The bulk of the book is devoted to discussing, with real examples, how to use
SNMP for system and network administration tasks. Administrators will come away
with ideas for writing scripts to help them manage their networks, create
managed objects, and extend the operation of SNMP agents.
Once demystified, SNMP is much more accessible. If you're looking for a way to
more easily manage your network, look no further than Essential SNMP, 2nd
Edition.

D.Chamberlain, et al, "RT Essentials"
O'Reilly | ISBN 0596006683 | August 18, 2005 Year | CHM | 1,6 Mb | 216 Pages
In a typical organization, there's always plenty that to do such as: pay
vendors, invoice customers, answer customer inquiries, and fix bugs in hardware
or software. You need to know who wants what and keep track of what is left to
do.
This is where a ticketing system comes in. A ticketing system allows you to
check the status of various tasks: when they were requested, who requested them
and why, when they were completed, and more. RT is a high-level, open source
ticketing system efficiently enabling a group of people to manage tasks, issues,
and requests submitted by a community of users.
RT Essentials, co-written by one of the RT's original core developers, Jesse
Vincent, starts off with a quick background lesson about ticketing systems and
then shows you how to install and configure RT. This comprehensive guide
explains how to perform day-to-day tasks to turn your RT server into a highly
useful tracking tool. One way it does this is by examining how a company could
use RT to manage its internal processes. Advanced chapters focus on developing
add-on tools and utilities using Perl and Mason. There's also chapter filled
with suggested uses for RT inside your organization.
No matter what kind of data your organization tracks from sales inquiries to
security incidents or anything in between RT Essentials helps you use RT to
provide order when you need it most.
