XML (Extensible Markup Language) is the lingua franca in contemporary networked
environments. It is intended to support communication between software modules,
particularly on the Web, as well as communication between people involved in
developing new XML-based solutions. Developing the new solutions for a specifi c
domain or...
The 16th edition of the International Conference on Discrete Geometry for Computer
Imagery was held in Nancy, France, April 6–8, 2011, and was organized
by the ADAGIo team of the LORIA laboratory (Lorraine research center in
computer science and its applications). DGCI 2011 attracted many researchers
from all around the...
Aspiring and professional game developers have a lot of questions: What should be in their portfolios? How do they make contacts? How do they negotiate salaries? How much do game designers make? What should they wear to interviews? In this fast-paced and humorous guide, the authors answer these questions and many more, including the ones you...
Pulling on a string will control a kite. How do you control your arms, legs, and other body parts? Do you think your body uses anything similar to kite strings?
Explore how body parts and body systems can work together, even when doing very simple tasks.
Volume IV continues the author's odyssey on l-D cellular automata as chronicled in Volumes I, II and III, by uncovering a novel quasi-ergodicity phenomenon involving orbits meandering among omega-limit orbits of complex (group 5) and hyper (group 6) Bernoulli rules. This discovery is embellished with analytical formulas characterizing the...
Tissue engineering integrates knowledge and tools from biological sciences and engineering for tissue regeneration. A challenge for tissue engineering is to identify appropriate cell sources. The recent advancement of stem cell biology provides enormous opportunities to engineer stem cells for tissue engineering. The impact of stem cell...
With multicore processors now in every computer, server, and embedded device, the need for cost-effective, reliable parallel software has never been greater. By explaining key aspects of multicore programming, Fundamentals of Multicore Software Development helps software engineers understand parallel programming and master...
MR technologies play an increasing role in different aspects of human-robot interactions. The visual combination of digital contents with real working spaces creates a simulated environment that is set out to enhance these aspects. This book presents and discusses fundamental scientific issues, technical implementations, lab testing, and...
This practical guide offers a short course on scaling CouchDB to meet the capacity needs of your distributed application. Through a series of scenario-based examples, this book lets you explore several methods for creating a system that can accommodate growth and meet expected demand.

We are entering the golden age of GPU computing. Since the introduction of CUDA in 2007, more
than 100 million computers with CUDA-capable GPUs have been shipped to end users. Unlike the
previous GPGPU shader programming models, CUDA supports parallel programming in C. From my
own experience in teaching CUDA programming, C programmers...
