Extended booklist 2011

Introduction
Who should use this extended booklist?
This extended booklist is a new publication for 2011/12. It is intended for the use of: students registered for the BSc Computing and Information Systems or for the BSc Creative Computing, whether studying at an institution or independently (the booklists for Study skills in English and 001 Mathematics for business do not apply) students registered for the Diploma in Computing and Information Systems or for the Diploma in Creative Computing studying at Recognised Centres with Diploma teaching status (the Level 2 and 3 booklists do not apply) institutions that are applying for recognition as part of the University of London International Programmes Institutions Policy Framework and institutions that have either Registered or Affiliate status under this framework. (Registered and Affiliate institutions will have Diploma teaching status and/or will be recognised to teach the BSc in Computing and Information Systems and/or the BSc in Creative Computing.) Hereafter, such institutions are referred to as Recognised Centres. other institutions teaching informally for the BSc.

How should the booklists be used?

In this extended booklist, there are separate booklists for the different units at each Level of the degrees. The booklists for the Diploma units for Computing and Information Systems and Creative Computing are the same as for Level 1 of each BSc, plus there are booklists for Study skills in English and 001 Mathematics for business that are relevant only to the Diplomas. On pages 2 to 3 there is a list of books and useful journals of a more general nature, not directly related to any particular units. These, therefore, will be of use for all Levels of each degree and Diploma. For all books, an earlier edition is acceptable unless otherwise stated. Some of the books are shown as out of print. They are included as they are still considered useful. They are likely to be found in some libraries and may be available second hand. The booklists for the individual units do not replace the recommended reading given in the respective subject guides; they complement the subject guides and may contain information on recently published books. For most units, the booklist is divided into Essential reading and Recommended reading:

Extended booklist 2011

Essential reading
These are essential books that students are expected to buy, even if they are studying at an institution. They are essential for effective study of a course. Recognised Centres must provide copies of these books in their libraries.

Recommended reading
These are supplementary books which will give a wider and deeper understanding of the subject. The list consists of books that the authors of the subject guides know cover at least some of the necessary material in sufficient detail and at an appropriate level. It is not intended to be an exhaustive list. Students may want to buy some of these books, but are at least advised to seek out some of them in libraries, in particular those that are starred (*) as they are the most useful for further reading. Recognised Centres should hold a selection of recommended reading in their libraries, including those that are starred (unless a starred book is out of print and the library is unable to obtain it). This list updates some of the recommended further reading given in the subject guides, but in some subject guides there are additional books listed which may prove useful.

General books and other useful publications

General books
The following list contains details of general books. While they are not related directly to any particular course, reading any of them will give a broader knowledge and understanding of computing. The books starred (*) are particularly useful.

Legal and professional issues are not particularly well covered in introductory computing textbooks, and when computer science texts do address these issues they tend to do so from a US perspective, which is not appropriate for this course. On the other hand, legal textbooks covering computer law have tended to be rather expensive and difficult for the nonspecialist to follow. This book is a notable exception. Despite being aimed at law students this book is quite accessible to the non-lawyer and seems fairly sound on the technicalities of e Crime.

Extended booklist 2011

it an educational version of GPSS-PC. This will give some experience in the use of a decision support system generator. Some topics are not adequately covered in any textbook and this is particularly true of modelbased management systems. Thus, in a few instances, reference will be made to journal articles not in the above texts and to other text books. There are many periodicals which are relevant to both DSS and EIS, one of the most important is:
Decision Support Systems: The International Journal. (North-Holland) (10 issues per year) [ISSN 01679236].

General
It is always good practice to peruse academic journals and professional magazines for any appropriate articles. It is often monthly computer magazines which highlight the most recent developments in the field. These can be followed up by a more in-depth study later.

320 Project Essential reading

Dawson, Christian W. Projects in Computing and Information Systems. A Students Guide. (Addison-Wesley, 2009) second edition [ISBN 0273721313 (pbk)].

This book tackles the four key areas of project work i.e. planning, conducting, presenting and taking the project further. It covers the skills students need in order to excel in areas such as writing proposals, surveying literature and project management. As the title suggests the emphasis is rather more on computing than information systems, however the overall balance of ideas on projects is sound and the principles can be applied to any project.

Extended booklist 2011

Students are therefore advised to access further reading wherever possible to keep abreast of the current state of technology in this field. Following is a list of books that are recommended. It is not necessary to have copies of all of these books but a selection would complement the material covered in the subject guide. Some of the books are available to download free of charge; where appropriate the website addresses are given.

Recommended reading

Anderson, R. Security Engineering The Book. Six sample chapters of this book are available to download free of charge from the website: www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/book.html The first five chapters deal with protocols, passwords, access control and cryptography and are particularly relevant to the subject.

Ferguson, N. and D. Schneier Practical Cryptography. (Wiley, 2003) [ISBN 0471223573 (pbk)]. As the title suggests this book is a practical guide to choosing and using cryptographic tools. Some students may prefer this practical approach over the more academic approach of traditional text books. *Gollmann, D. Computer Security. (John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2005) second edition [ISBN 0470862939 (pbk)]. This book provides useful further reading on identification and authentication and access control, including a chapter on Unix security. There are lots of thought provoking and practical exercises. Menezes, Alfred J., Paul C. Van Oorschot and Scott A. Vanstone Handbook of Applied Cryptography. (CRC, 1996) new edition [ISBN 0849385237 (hbk)]. Chapters of this book are available to download free of charge from: www.cacr.math.uwaterloo.ca/hac/index.html This book is intended for professional cryptographers and is the ultimate reference book for cryptography. Thorough details on all aspects of cryptography are given. This book is over 700 pages and is not recommended for a light read but it is well worth looking at the website. *Pfleeger, Charles P and Shari Lawrence Pfleeger Security in Computing. (Prentice . Hall, 2007) fourth edition [ISBN 9780132390774 (hbk)]. In this book, the authors introduce the core concepts of computer security and then identify and assess the threats currently facing programs, operating systems, database systems and networks. Attacks on RSA, SHA and DES are discussed. *Piper, Fred and Sean Murphy Cryptography: A Very Short Introduction. (Oxford University Press, 2002) [ISBN 0192803158 (pbk)]. This really is a very short book and a great introduction to cryptography. The ideas behind symmetric key and public key cryptography and their uses are explained very clearly. Schneier, Bruce Secrets and Lies: Digital Security in a Networked World. (Wiley, 2004) new edition [ISBN 0471453803 (pbk)]. Computer security from a business world perspective. This book examines the necessity for computer security in the real world. It is written more like a reading book than a text book and gives an interesting background to the subject of computer security. *Stallings, William Network Security Essentials: Applications and Standards. (Prentice Hall, 2006) third edition [ISBN 0132380331 (pbk)]. This book covers Internet security tools and applications. It includes good descriptions of symmetric cryptosystems including DES, 3DES, AES, IDEA, Blowfish and RC5. Lots of exercises and test questions (but no solutions).

Kemp, M. The Science of Art Optical Themes in Western Art from Brunilleschi to Seurat. (Yale University Press, 1992) revised edition [ISBN 9780300052411 (hbk)]. This book will be of great value in understanding many issues to do with developments in artists understanding of creating more realistic representations, particularly with regard to perspective and colour. It will provide most students with greater insight into the creative process for a visual artist and thus provide additional impetus for those attempting to develop their own visual creativity. Reas, C. and B. Fry Processing: A Programming Handbook for Visual Designers and Artists. (The MIT Press, 2007) [ISBN 0262182629 (hbk)]. While this text will already be well-known from use earlier in the programme of study, students should ensure a copy is to hand and that the contents are familiar.

Recommended reading

[ISBN 071483355X (hbk); 9780714832470 (pbk)]. Those parts relating to artists discussed in the subject guide should be read to broaden understanding of the influences on how artists worked and on what they produced. It should be readily available in any good library and used extensively for background reading. It is a recommended book to avoid excessive emphasis on Art History in a BSc programme. Kemp, M. Seen|Unseen. (Oxford University Press, 2006) [ISBN 0199295727 (hbk) or 9780199295722 (hbk)]. An excellent book for thoughtful views on the relationships between artists and scientists developing understanding in several areas including representation of spatial relationships in nature. Eisner, Lotte H. The Haunted Screen. (University of California Press, 1974) [ISBN 9780520024793 (pbk: out of print)]. Although not a new book it is excellent in text and pictorial coverage of German Expressionist film, giving clear illustrations of techniques and effects.
