Provides a detailed introduction to the implementations and official standards of the state of the art audio coding technology.
The topic of digital audio coding is of interest to a wide audience, including engineering and industrial professionals working in telecommunications, hardware design, music, and software product...
Nowadays, real-time applications of Fuzzy Logic in different domains are being increasingly reported. ASIC-based analog hardware becomes an interesting solution for these kinds of applications because it benefits from: savings on silicon surface and power consumption, readily accomplishment with strict timing constraints and cost-effective...
The unique electronic and chemical properties of nanoparticles have drawn the
attention of chemists, physicists, biologists and engineers who wish to use them for the
development of next generation nanodevices. Organized nanoassemblies of inorganic
nanoparticles and organic molecules are building blocks of nanodevices, whether they...
Networks on Chip presents a variety of topics, problems and approaches with the common theme to systematically organize the on-chip communication in the form of a regular, shared communication network on chip, an NoC for short.
As the number of processor cores and IP blocks integrated on a single chip is steadily...
The annual market for wireless devices exceeds tens of billions of dollars worldwide. As markets expand and evolve, there is an insatiable demand for greater functionality in smaller form factor devices, seamless compatibility with various communications standards, longer battery operating lifetimes, and, of course, lower costs....
This concerns the field of video characterization and summarization. The term “characterization” refers to methods to analyze video content or some other medium at various levels. We emphasize video content processing, which encompasses methods in image, audio, and language understanding. The term “summarization” refers to...
Genetic Programming IV: Routine Human-Competitive Machine Intelligence presents the application of GP to a wide variety of problems involving automated synthesis of controllers, circuits, antennas, genetic networks, and metabolic pathways. The book describes fifteen instances where GP has created an entity...
Research in analog integrated circuits has recently gone in the direction
of low-voltage (LV)‚ low-power (LP) design‚ especially in the environment of
portable systems where a low supply voltage‚ given by a single-cell battery‚ is
used. These LV circuits have to show also a reduced power consumption to...
This book is a collection of essays, authored by eminent scholars in evolutionary computation (EC), artificial intelligence (AI), operations research, complexity theory and mathematics. Each essay revolves around important, interesting and unresolved questions in the field of evolutionary computation....
The evolution of electronic systems is pushing traditional silicon designers into areas that require new domains of expertise. In addition to the design of complex hardware, System-on-Chip (SoC) design requires software development, operating systems and new system architectures. Future SoC designs will resemble a miniature...
We can understand the multimedia technology as a digital integration of
texts, graphics, audio, animation, still images and motion video in a way that
provides a high level of personal interaction and control to individual users.
The evolution of multimedia is a convergence of the mentioned media types to
a unique system. Before the...
Layout generation is an important topic in IC design. For digital circuits a lot of research
has been conducted in this area, resulting in a large variety of books and layout generation
tools. However, with the ever increasing frequencies, we are facing now significant analog
types of artifacts in the IC, introduced during the...
