Editorial Review:

The Encyclopedia of Microcomputers serves as the ideal companion reference to the popular Encyclopedia of Computer Science and Technology. Now in its 10th year of publication, this timely reference work details the broad spectrum of microcomputer technology, including microcomputer history; explains and illustrates the use of microcomputers throughout academe, business, government, and society in general; and assesses the future impact of this rapidly changing technology. Presenting alphabetically arranged volumes written by world-renowned practitioners and researchers, the Encyclopedia features articles that are scholarly yet clearly written, all-inclusive and straightforward, stimulating to the specialist but understandable to the newcomer in the field, advanced and technically sophisticated but also include solid fundamentals, and specific as well as generic in approach and content. The Encyclopedia of Microcomputers suits the needs of micro- computer and hardware specialists, programmers, systems analysts, engineers, operations researchers, mathematicians, and novices as well as seasoned professionals in all fields where computers are used to process data or solve problems. The set will be completed with the publication of the index in volume 21 in October 1997. Supplement volumes are in preparation.

Editorial Review:

Practical quantum computing still seems more than a decade away, and researchers have not even identified what the best physical implementation of a quantum bit will be. There is a real need in the scientific literature for a dialogue on the topic of lessons learned and looming roadblocks. This reprint from Quantum Information Processing is dedicated to the experimental aspects of quantum computing and includes articles that 1) highlight the lessons learned over the last 10 years, and 2) outline the challenges over the next 10 years. The special issue includes a series of invited articles that discuss the most promising physical implementations of quantum computing. The invited articles were to draw grand conclusions about the past and speculate about the future, not just report results from the present.

A long song of praise to IBM's mainframes 3 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

The book is one, massive song of praise to the IBM mainframes. It seems to be outside the imagination of the author, that anyone could consider choosing anything else. So you should not buy this book, if you want a serious discussion of the pros and cons of mainframes.

Instead you get seemingly endless presentations of IBM's various product numbers like the following quotation:

"Model E01 to E08 configurations support 1 to 8 CECs with 2-, 3-, 4-, 5, or 6-way R1-based processor units in each CEC. The models support a minimum of 3 ESCON channels per CEC and a maximum of 48 added in increments of 3. If more than 24 ESCON channels are required ..."

So if all you want is an accessible catalogue of IBM mainframe products, I guess this book will be well chosen. Otherwise I will not recommend it.

Editorial Review:

Major changes are underway in the IBM Mainframe world--and this updated edition reflects the latest information. In language geared toward the business professional, Hoskins and Young reveal how the IBM System/390 family has been revitalized. The book examines critical business issues and the role of S/390 in networks.
