Advances in Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks (Signals and Communication Technology)

Springer, 2008

Wireless ad hoc networks, mobile or static, have special resource requirements and topology features, which make them different from classic computer networks in resource management, routing, media access control, and QoS provisioning. Some of our day-to-day situations directly relate to ad hoc wireless network applications, such as...

One Jump Ahead: Computer Perfection at Checkers

Springer, 2008

The new edition of this extraordinary book depicts the creation of the world champion checkers computer program, Chinook. In only two years, Chinook had become a worthy opponent to the world champion, and within four years had defeated all the world's top human players. Jonathan Schaeffer, the originator and leader of the Chinook team, details the...

An Introduction to Mathematical Cryptography (Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics)

Springer, 2008

This self-contained introduction to modern cryptography emphasizes the mathematics behind the theory of public key cryptosystems and digital signature schemes. The book focuses on these key topics while developing the mathematical tools needed for the construction and security analysis of diverse cryptosystems. Only basic linear algebra is required...

SAS for Data Analysis: Intermediate Statistical Methods (Statistics and Computing)

Springer, 2008

This book is intended for use as the textbook in a second course in applied statistics that covers topics in multiple regression and analysis of variance at an intermediate level. Generally, students enrolled in such courses are primarily graduate majors or advanced undergraduate students from a variety of disciplines. These students typically have...

The VC-1 and H.264 Video Compression Standards for Broadband Video Services (Multimedia Systems and Applications)

Springer, 2008

The MPEG committee standardized the MPEG AVC (H.264) video coding standard in May 2003. The standard has since seen strong interest and adoption from the industry. A competing standard developed by Microsoft, referred to as VC-1, was standardized in SMPTE in April 2006. VC-1 is essentially a standardized version of Microsoft's Windows Media Video...

Robots, Reasoning, and Reification

Springer, 2008

Robots, Reasoning, and Reification focuses on a critical obstacle that is preventing the development of intelligent, autonomous robots: the gap between the ability to reason about the world and the ability to sense the world and translate that sensory data into a symbolic model.

This ability is what enables living systems to look at the world...

Programming Languages: An Active Learning Approach

Springer, 2008

Programming Languages: An Active Learning Approach introduces students to three programming paradigms: object-oriented/imperative languages using C++ and Ruby, functional languages using Standard ML, and logic programming using Prolog. This interactive textbook is intended to be used in and outside of class. Each chapter follows a pattern of...

Hypercomputation: Computing Beyond the Church-Turing Barrier (Monographs in Computer Science)

Springer, 2008

Hypercomputation is a relatively new theory of computation that is about computing methods and devices that transcend the so-called Church-Turing thesis. This book will provide a thorough description of the field of hypercomputation covering all attempts at devising conceptual hypermachines and all new promising computational paradigms that may...

Geospatial Services and Applications for the Internet

Springer, 2008

The use of geospatial technologies has become ubiquitous since the leading Internet vendors delivered a number of popular map websites. Today, businesses are either migrating location-specific capabilities into their information systems, or expanding existing Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) implementation into enterprise-wide solutions....

Design of Ultra Wideband Antenna Matching Networks: Via Simplified Real Frequency Technique (Signals and Communication Technology)

Springer, 2008

Design of Ultra Wideband Antenna Matching Networks: via Simplified Real Frequency Technique (SRFT) will open up a new horizon for design engineers, researchers, undergraduate and graduate students to construct multi-band and ultra wideband antenna matching networks for antennas which in turn will push the edge of technology to manufacture...

Fieldwork for Design: Theory and Practice (Computer Supported Cooperative Work)

Springer, 2007

Fieldwork for Design looks at why ethnographic approaches have been turned to in the design of computing devices for the workplace, for the home and elsewhere. It presents a history of ethnography, both as it was practiced before computer science picked it up and since, most especially in the CSCW and HCI domains. It examines, further, the...

Engineering the User Interface: From Research to Practice

Springer, 2008

This book contains a collection of the best papers presented at the VII International Conference on Interacción Persona-Ordenador (IPO), Human-Computer Interaction in Spanish, which took place in Puertollano (Ciudad Real) on November 13th-17th, 2006. In its seventh edition this conference has become a multidisciplinary forum for the...
