Description:
The formation of the United Arab Emirates in 1971, under Shaikh Zayid Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, Ruler of Abu Dhabi, is one of the most significant milestones in recent Gulf history. He pioneered the modernization of the country and ultimately created an effective framework for collaboration with neighbouring Gulf states. This full-length biography analyzes the UAE's unique federal experience over its three decades of existence. It is an in-depth study of the birth of a modern nation, based largely on unpublished historical records and documents. The archival research behind the book and its meticulous documentation make it a valuable record covering an important era in the contemporary history of the Gulf region and the Middle East.
Description: The major part of this book consists of a curriculum for those who intend to follow a professional career in information systems design. This is a comprehensive revision of a curriculum initially prepared by IFIP and published in 1974. The new curriculum is much broader in scope and takes account of the immense changes in the technology available, in the variety of systems being developed and in the role of the systems designer. The material can be readily adapted by designers of courses to meet their own specific requirements. The second part of the book comprises papers from a number of international contributors on the practical aspects of implementing such a curriculum in different parts of the world.
