The C++ programming language, which includes C as a proper subset, has become the
preeminent programming language in the engineering and scientific fields. For most
engineers and scientists, however, using the full potential of C++, which is a hybrid language
containing both structured and object-oriented features, involves a gradual...
The analysis of experimental data is at heart of science from its beginnings.
But it was the advent of digital computers in the second half of the 20th
century that revolutionized scientific data analysis twofold: Tedious pencil
and paper work could be successively transferred to the emerging software
applications so sweat and tears...
Computer vision is the science and technology of making machines that see.
It is concerned with the theory, design and implementation of algorithms that
can automatically process visual data to recognize objects, track and recover
their shape and spatial layout.
The International Computer Vision Summer School - ICVSS was...
The past few years document the following fact: The Web has irrevocably recast
the face of computing and programmers unwilling to master its environment will
be left behind.
The preceding is a strong statement. It is also true. More and more, applications
must interface to the Web. It no longer matters much what the...
The goal of this book is to teach you to think like a computer scientist. 1 like
the way computer scientists think because they combine some of the best fea
tures of Mathematics, Engineering, and Natural Science. Like mathematicians,
computer scientists use formal languages to denote ideas (specifically computa
tions). Like engineers,...
A variety of problems m machine learning and digital communication deal with complex but structured natural or artificial systems. Natural patterns mat we wish to automatically classify' are a consequence of a hierarchical causal physical process. Learning about the world
m which we live requires mat we extract useful sensor)'...
#^ecause you are reading this, 1 assume that you have recently become interested in database. Perhaps you would like to impress your friends by casually tossing out some big words that they have never heard before — words such as semantic object model, denormalization, or maybe even tuple. Perhaps your boss at work has just informed you...
Java Programming, Fifth Edition provides the beginning programmer with a guide to developing applications
using the Java programming language. Java is popular among professional programmers because it
can be used to build visually interesting graphical user interface (GUI) and Web-based applications. Java
also provides an excellent...
Information security is about people, yet in most organizations protection remains focused on technical countermeasures. The human element is crucial in the majority of successful attacks on systems and attackers are rarely required to find technical vulnerabilities, hacking the human is usually sufficient.Ian Mann turns the black art of...
The purpose of Essentials of Modern Business Statistics with Microsoft® Excel is to give
students, primarily in the fields of business administration and economics, an introduction
to the field of statistics and its many applications. The text is applications oriented and written
with the needs of the nonmathematician in mind; the...
This book is intended for an introductory course in digital logic design, which is a basic
course in most electrical and computer engineering programs. A successful designer of
digital logic circuits needs a good understanding of basic concepts and a firm grasp of
computer-aided design (CAD) tools. The purpose of our book is to provide...
Project management is more than merely parceling out work assignments to
individuals and hoping that they will somehow accomplish a desired result. In
fact, projects that could have been successful often fail because of such take-itfor-
granted approaches. Individuals need hard information and real skills to
work successfully in a...
