I wrote this book in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks that took place on September 11, 2001. Until then, I was planning to write this book at a much later time. But the events of that day compelled me to immediately begin this work. As we have seen, those events have had far-reaching repercussions in the information...
Wireless mobile networks and devices are becoming increasingly popular as they provide users access to information and communication anytime and anywhere. Conventional wireless mobile communications are usually supported by a wired fixed infrastructure. A mobile device would use a single-hop wireless radio communication to...
Analysis and Control of Boolean Networks presents a systematic new approach to the investigation of Boolean control networks. The fundamental tool in this approach is a novel matrix product called the semi-tensor product (STP). Using the STP, a logical function can be expressed as a conventional discrete-time linear system. In the light of...
Welcome to the new technology outsourcing services industry reality: China!
The factors that point to a country's potential and success as an outsourcing destination inevitably lead to the one country that is rapidly becoming the new hub for IT...
In addition to communicating current methods for diagnosis and assessing the array of conventional and newfound therapeutic options for dry eye and ocular surface disorders, this edifying reference offers scientific background on normal ocular surface and tear film functioning; descriptions of the mechanisms involved in inflammation; and a...
Quantum computers will revolutionize the way telecommunications networks function.
Quantum computing holds the promise of solving problems that would be intractable with conventional computers, by implementing principles from quantum physics in the development of computer hardware, software and communications equipment....
At one time, the office was a physical place, and employees congregated in the same location to work together on projects. The advent of the Internet and the World Wide Web, however, not only made the unthinkable possible, it forever changed the way persons view both the office and work. The Handbook of Research on Virtual Workplaces and the New...
The ever decreasing price/performance ratio of microcontrollers makes it economically attractive to replace more and more conventional mechanical or electronic control systems within many products by embedded real-time computer systems. An embedded real-time computer system is always part of a well-specified larger system, which we call an...
Offering unique insight from the author's years of experience working with this technology, the book presents a comparison of the properties of conventional analogue and new digital PMR systems.
This practical new book is written for mobile communication professionals who are involved in the planning, design, testing,...
This book presents the most recent state of the art in mobile positioning and tracking techniques.
This book discusses mobile positioning solutions applied on top of current wireless communication networks. In addition, the authors introduce advanced and novel topics such as localization in heterogeneous and cooperative...
We have been very pleased, beyond our expectations, with the reception of
the first edition of this book. Bioinformatics, however, continues to evolve
very rapidly, hence the need for a new edition. In the past three years, fullgenome
sequencing has blossomed with the completion of the sequence of
the fly and the first draft of the...
This work focuses on central catadioptric systems, from the early step of calibration to high-level tasks such as 3D information retrieval. The book opens with a thorough introduction to the sphere camera model, along with an analysis of the relation between this model and actual central catadioptric systems. Then, a new approach to calibrate...
