The Economics of Open Source Software DevelopmentOpen Source Software (OSS) development appears to present a stark contrast to traditional production and innovation methods and an unlikely contestant in the marketplace. Some of the most striking features are that OSS development is based on contributions of volunteer programmers, that these programmers only associated with each other through... | | Charging Communication NetworksThis book proposes that usage-based charging schemes are essential to generate the incentives necessary for efficient operation of multiservice networks. The rapid development of network technology is enabling sophisticated new services and applications which demand new charging models. The same technology provides the means to operate the right... | | Inverse Problems in Engineering MechanicsInverse problems can be found in many topics of engineering mechanics. There are many successful applications in the fields of inverse problems (non-destructive testing and characterization of material properties by ultrasonic or X-ray techniques, thermography, etc.). Generally speaking, the inverse problems are concerned with the determination of... |

Advanced Video Coding: Principles and Techniques (Advances in Image Communication)In recent years, the paradigm of video coding has shifted from that of a frame-based approach to a content-based approach, particularly with the finalization of the ISO multimedia coding standard, MPEG-4. MPEG-4 is the emerging standard for the coding of multimedia content. It defines a syntax for a set of content-based functionalities, namely,... | | Information Flow and Knowledge Sharing, Volume 2 (Capturing Intelligence)Our goal in this book is to present our conceptualization of information and of knowledge, and to clarify the distinctions between these two concepts. Indeed, they are more than concepts. These two words convey a plurality of meanings and have a deep character that goes beyond pure conceptualizations. By emphasizing their distinctions, we do not... | | Nanotechnology and Nano-Interface Controlled Electronic DevicesThe International Workshop on Nanotechnology and NICE Devices (IWNND) was held on March 19 and 20, 2002 at Nagoya Congress Center, Nagoya, Japan. This international workshop was organized as one of the important events of the Nagoya Nanotechnology International Forum 2002 (NNIF2002), from March 18 through 20, 2002. Needless to say, Nano-Technology... |
