Synopsis
When you think about how far and fast computer science has progressed in recent years, it's not hard to conclude that a seven-year old handbook may fall a little short of the kind of reference today's computer scientists, software engineers, and IT professionals need.
With a broadened scope, more emphasis on applied computing, and more than 70 chapters either new or significantly revised, the Computer Science Handbook, Second Edition is exactly the kind of reference you need. This rich collection of theory and practice fully characterizes the current state of the field and conveys the modern spirit, accomplishments, and direction of computer science.
Highlights of the Second Edition:
- Coverage that reaches across all 11 subject areas of the discipline as defined in Computing Curricula 2001, now the standard taxonomy
- More than 70 chapters revised or replaced
- Emphasis on a more practical/applied approach to IT topics such as information management, net-centric computing, and human computer interaction
- More than 150 contributing authors--all recognized experts in their respective specialties
- New chapters on:
cryptography computational chemistry computational astrophysics human-centered software development
cognitive modeling transaction processing data compression
scripting languages event-driven programming
software architecture

Review
Due to the great response to the famous Computer Science Handbook edited by Allen B. Tucker, ... in 2004 Chapman & Hall/CRC published a second edition of this comprehensive reference book. Within more than 70 chapters, every one new or significantly revised, one can find any kind of information and references about computer science one can imagine. ... All in all, there is absolute nothing about computer science that can not be found in the encyclopedia with its 110 survey articles ...
―Christoph Meinel, Zentralblatt MATH
