Quality is not a fixed or universal property of software; it depends on the context and goals of its stakeholders. Hence, when you want to develop a high-quality software system, the first step must be a clear and precise specification of quality. Yet even if you get it right and complete, you can be sure that it will become invalid over... |  | Concurrent Programming: Algorithms, Principles, and Foundations
The advent of new architectures and computing platforms means that synchronization and concurrent computing are among the most important topics in computing science. Concurrent programs are made up of cooperating entities -- processors, processes, agents, peers, sensors -- and synchronization is the set of concepts, rules and mechanisms that... | | Tools for Signal Compression: Applications to Speech and Audio Coding (ISTE)
In everyday life, we often come in contact with compressed signals: when using
mobile telephones, mp3 players, digital cameras, or DVD players. The signals in each
of these applications, telephone-band speech, high fidelity audio signal, and still or
video images are not only sampled and quantized to put them into a form suitable for... |
