Augmented reality (AR) is a direct or indirect view of real world scenes in which
physical objects are annotated with, or overlaid by computer generated digital information.
The past two decades have seen a fast growing body of research and development
dedicated to techniques and technologies for AR. In particular, due to the
recent...
Both the editors of this book were exposed to human-in-the-loop simulations while
pursuing their doctoral degrees in the Center for Human-Machine Systems at
Georgia Tech. In fact, S. Narayanan served as Ling Rothrock’s teaching assistant
for the simulation course taught by Prof. Christine Mitchell. It has been over 15
years...
This volume collects the papers accepted for presentation at MIRAGE 2011.
The MIRAGE conference is recognized internationally with presentations
coming from 19 countries despite the large worldwide economical crisis. Submissions
from Asia dropped compared with two years ago, and were fewer, than
those from Europe. France proved...
Thinking is what sets human beings apart from the rest of the animal
kingdom. And thinking is what distinguishes each individual human from
all the others. We think differently, and that makes us different people,

differ too, due to the fact that they think...
Few concepts have been considered as essential to the theory of knowledge and rational belief as that of evidence. The simplest theory which accounts for this is evidentialism, the view that epistemic justification for belief--the kind of justification typically taken to be required for knowledge--is determined solely by considerations...
Silverlight 4 is Microsoft's cross-browser technology for creating rich user experiences on the Web. Like its predecessor, Silverlight 3, it rides atop the .NET framework for maximum ease of use and coding efficiency. The new technology carries forward much of the work that has been done before and augments it in many important respects,...
Starting in 2008, Jeff Hammerbacher (@hackingdata) and I sat down to share
our experiences building the data and analytics groups at Facebook and LinkedIn.
In many ways, that meeting was the start of data science as a distinct
professional specialization (see “What Makes a Data Scientist?”
on page 11 for the story on...

Ingenieurwissenschaftliche Zusammenhänge erschließen sich häufig erst bei der Bearbeitung konkreter Aufgaben. Genau an dieser Stelle setzt das Buch an: Es präsentiert die wesentlichen Gebiete der Statik von Stabtragwerken anhand von detailliert ausgearbeiteten Beispielen. Die Aufgaben können sowohl „von...
Fractional order signal processing is an emerging topic among an interdisciplinary community of researchers. This book offers an introduction to the diverse literatures involved, presenting basic techniques and relevant applications in the same volume.
Diese Einführung in die moderne Audio- und Videotechnik ermöglicht Lesern mit technischem Grundverständnis einen leichten Einstieg - auch in komplexe Zusammenhänge. Der Autor vermittelt detailliertes Wissen, praxisnah und verständlich aufbereitet: von den Grundlagen der Ton- und Videotechnik über Abtastung und...
These lectures on logic, more specifically proof theory, are basically intended for postgraduate students and researchers in logic. The question at stake is the nature of mathematical knowledge and the difference between a question and an answer, i.e., the implicit and the explicit. The problem is delicate mathematically and philosophically...
