The Death of the Scientific Buddha --$tNotes --$tIndex 330 $aThis book tells the story of the Scientific Buddha, "born" in Europe in the 1800's but commonly confused with the Buddha born in India 2,500 years ago. The Scientific Buddha was sent into battle against Christian missionaries, who were proclaiming across Asia that Buddhism was a form of superstition. He proved the missionaries wrong, teaching a dharma that was in harmony with modern science. And his influence continues. Today his teaching of "mindfulness" is heralded as the cure for all manner of maladies, from depression to high blood pressure. In this potent critique, a well-known chronicler of the West's encounter with Buddhism demonstrates how the Scientific Buddha's teachings deviate in crucial ways from those of the far older Buddha of ancient India. Donald Lopez shows that the Western focus on the Scientific Buddha threatens to bleach Buddhism of its vibrancy, complexity, and power, even as the superficial focus on "mindfulness" turns Buddhism into merely the latest self-help movement. The Scientific Buddha has served his purpose, Lopez argues. It is now time for him to pass into nirvana. This is not to say, however, that the teachings of the ancient Buddha must be dismissed as mere cultural artifacts. They continue to present a potent challenge, even to our modern world. 410 0$aTerry lectures. 606 $aBuddhism and science 606 $aBuddhism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBuddhism and science. 615 0$aBuddhism. 676 $a294.3/365 700 $aLopez$b Donald S.$f1952-$0647459 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462534903321 996 $aThe scientific Buddha$92456772 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04311nam 2200637 450 001 9910818396703321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-118-91263-2 010 $a1-118-91274-8 010 $a1-118-91270-5 035 $a(CKB)3710000000093468 035 $a(EBL)1650851 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001211599 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11712604 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001211599 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11206474 035 $a(PQKB)11334082 035 $a(OCoLC)874321900 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1650851 035 $a(DLC) 2014011503 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1650851 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10849268 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL584582 035 $a(PPN)192779400 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000093468 100 $a20140326h20142014 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aBuilding dependable distributed systems /$fWenbing Zhao 210 1$aHoboken, New Jersey :$cScrivener Publishing :$cWiley,$d2014. 210 4$dİ2014 215 $a1 online resource (370 p.) 225 0 $aPerformability Engineering Series 300 $a"Published simultaneously in Canada"--Title page verso. 311 $a1-118-54943-0 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $a1.

Application-Aware Byzantine Fault Tolerance. 330 2 $a"This book covers the most essential techniques for designing and building dependable distributed systems. Instead of covering a broad range of research works for each dependability strategy, the book focuses only a selected few (usually the most seminal works, the most practical approaches, or the first publication of each approach) are included and explained in depth, usually with a comprehensive set of examples. The goal is to dissect each technique thoroughly so that readers who are not familiar with dependable distributed computing can actually grasp the technique after studying the book.The book contains eight chapters. The first chapter introduces the basic concepts and terminologies of dependable distributed computing, and also provide an overview of the primary means for achieving dependability. The second chapter describes in detail the checkpointing and logging mechanisms, which are the most commonly used means to achieve limited degree of fault tolerance. Such mechanisms also serve as the foundation for more sophisticated dependability solutions. Chapter three covers the works on recovery-oriented computing, which focus on the practical techniques that reduce the fault detection and recovery times for Internet-based applications. Chapter four outlines the replication techniques for data and service fault tolerance. This chapter also pays particular attention to optimistic replication and the CAP theorem. Chapter five explains a few seminal works on group communication systems. Chapter six introduces the distributed consensus problem and covers a number of Paxos family algorithms in depth. Chapter seven introduces the Byzantine generals problem and its latest solutions, including the seminal Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (PBFT) algorithm and a number of its derivatives. The final chapter covers the latest research results on application-aware Byzantine fault tolerance, which is an important step forward towards practical use of Byzantine fault tolerance techniques"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aPerformability Engineering Series 606 $aElectronic data processing$xDistributed processing 606 $aComputer systems$xDesign and construction 615 0$aElectronic data processing$xDistributed processing. 615 0$aComputer systems$xDesign and construction. 676 $a004/.36 686 $aCOM051230$2bisacsh 700 $aZhao$b Wenbing$cPh.D,$0960425 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818396703321 996 $aBuilding dependable distributed systems$93967961 997 $aUNINA
