Book Description
Dot-com infrastructure failures often make headlines -- and in most cases, they're directly attributable to underlying architectural shortcomings. In this book, Sun consultants offer expert guidance on next-generation architecture for dot-coms -- and on the related design and implementation issues that are critical to every Internet-focused business. Dot-Com & Beyond reviews today's most powerful Internet-related opportunities for improving business efficiency, reaching new markets, and establishing "time-based" value chains. It then provides comprehensive guidance on implementing IT architectures that can support these new applications. The book introduces Sun's exclusive "3-dimensional methodology," and the key architectural, design, and implementation practices needed to create an effective Internet infrastructure. Discover how to build architectures that last, by designing for systematic qualities; how to manage dot-com projects effectively; and what future dot-com infrastructures will look like. The book also contains a start-to-finish case study drawn from an actual project at a leading Fortune 500 company. For all developers, system architects, e-commerce managers, and other IT professionals seeking better ways to leverage Internet technologies.

Book Description
A Brookings Institution Press Internet Policy Institute publication In just a few years, the Internet has had a visible impact on the daily lives of many Americans. But the recent demise of many of the "dot coms" that symbolized the Internet revolution has raised warning flags about its future. Until now, discussion of the impact of the Internet on the economy has been mostly speculation. In Beyond the Dot.coms, two of the nation's most respected economists articulate the anticipated economic impact of the Internet over the next five years. Drawing from detailed research conducted by the Brookings Task Force on the Internet and the Berkeley Roundtable on the International Economy (BRIE) Internet Task Force (see page 10), Robert Litan and Alice Rivlin address the Internet's potential impacts on productivity, prices, and market structure. The research suggests that the most significant economic impact of the Internet will be its potential to increase productivity growth in the existing economy—with cheaper transactions, greater management efficiency, increased competition and broadened markets, more effective marketing and pricing, and increased consumer choice, convenience, and satisfaction. The greatest impact may not be felt in e-commerce, but rather in a wide range of "old economy" arenas, including health care and government.

Book Description
This report is a follow up to AASHTO's 2003 Taking the High Road report, and documents new projects and programs that continue to advance both transportation and environmental stewardship. The report provides important facts on how transportation makes a difference in quality of life through key environmental investments. It demonstrates the numerous ways transportation agencies are increasingly going "above and beyond" to connect and enhance both communities and the environment to make things better than before, not because it is required, but because it is the right thing to do. The successful practices described in this report describe a few of the many ways transportation agencies are advancing toward sustainable transportation. These initiatives are helping transportation agencies bridge the gap and contribute to the environmental, social, and economic well-being of their communities.
