The problem I was experiencing is only getting worse. So, I was thinking about this and trying to not to get too glum. We’ve taken an interesting turn in the industry over the past ten years. Here’s the original list. Most are easy to read but some are rough going – they drop off into math after the first few pages. On the criteria to be used in decomposing systems into modules – David Parnas A Note On Distributed Computing – Jim Waldo, Geoff Wyant, Ann Wollrath, Sam Kendall The Next 700 Programming Languages – P.

Computer Sciences School Alumnus Publishes Book on Mobile Technology for Healthcare | NSU News Center Computer Sciences School Alumnus Publishes Book on Mobile Technology for Healthcare David Metcalf, Ph.D., a graduate of NSU’s Graduate School of Computer and Information Sciences (GSCIS), co-authored a recently published book on mobile technology for healthcare entitled, mHealth: From Smartphones to Smart Systems. The book provides a high-level and comprehensive survey of the emergence of mobile technology in healthcare. Mobile devices are part of an overall healthcare IT ecosystem that includes devices, peripherals, enterprise systems, cloud technology and the processes that support them. This book looks beyond the already-popular devices and apps associated with mHealth – the delivery of healthcare services via mobile communication devices, and explores the major role this technology could play as healthcare steers toward an architecture in which key decision making occurs at the point-of-care.
