Web Services: Concepts, Architectures and Applications (Springer Verlag; October 2003)
Fabio Casati, Harumi Kuno and Vijay Machiraju (HP Labs) and Gustavo Alonso ( Department of Computer Science, ETH Zentrum, Zurich, Switzerland)
Based on their academic and industrial experience with middleware and enterprise application integration systems, the authors describe the fundamental concepts behind the notion of Web services and present them as the natural evolution of conventional middleware, necessary to meet the challenges of the Web and of B2B application integration.

Pattern-Oriented Analysis and Design: Composing Patterns to Design Software Systems (Addison Wesley Professional, 2003)
Sherif Yacoub, Hany Ammar
This book aims to make it easier for anyone to build better software systems faster. The co-authors introduce a methodology, Pattern-Oriented Analysis and Design (POAD), for more quickly composing complex software systems using UML-class (Unified Modeling Language) diagrams as building blocks.

Modern Cryptography: Theory and Practice
(HP Books and Prentice Hall, 2004)
Wenbo Mao
Modern Cryptography is an indispensable resource for every advanced student of cryptography who intends to implement strong security in real-world applications. Leading HP Labs security expert Wenbo Mao explains why conventional crypto schemes, protocols, and systems are profoundly vulnerable, introducing both fundamental theory and real-world attacks. In addition, he shows how to implement crypto systems that are truly “fit for application.”
