Introduction to Computer Performance Analysis With Mathematica (Computer Science and Scientific Computing)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 1994

This book has been written as a beginner’s guide to computer performance analysis. For those who work in a predominantly IBM environment the typical job titles of those who would benefit from this book are Manager of Performance and Capacity Planning, Performance Specialist, Capacity Planner, or System Programmer. For Hewlett-Packard...

Computer Architecture Techniques for Power-Efficiency (Synthesis Lectures on Computer Architecture)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2008

In the last few years, power dissipation has become an important design constraint, on par with performance, in the design of new computer systems. Whereas in the past, the primary job of the computer architect was to translate improvements in operating frequency and transistor count into performance, now power efficiency must be taken into account...

Network Simulation (Synthesis Lectures on Communication Networks)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2006

A detailed introduction to the design, implementation, and use of network simulation tools is presented. The requirements and issues faced in the design of simulators for wired and wireless networks are discussed. Abstractions such as packet- and fluid-level network models are covered. Several existing simulations are given as examples, with...

Nonimaging Optics in Solar Energy (Synthesis Lectures on Energy and the Environment: Technology, Science, and Society)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2008

Nonimaging optics is a subdiscipline of optics whose development over the last 35–40 years was led by scientists from the University of Chicago and other cooperating individuals and institutions. The approach provides a formalism that allows the design of optical devices that approach the maximum physically attainable geometric concentration...

Hitting the Wall: A Vision of a Secure Energy Future (Synthesis Lectures on Energy and the Environment: Technology, Science, and Society)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2008

Hitting the Wall examines the combination of two intractable energy problems of our age: the peaking of global oil production and the overloading of the atmosphere with greenhouse gases. Both emerge from the overconsumption of fossil fuels and solving one problem helps solve the other. The misinformation campaign about climate change is discussed...

Narrowband Direction of Arrival Estimation for Antenna Arrays (Synthesis Lectures on Antennas)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2008

This book provides an introduction to narrowband array signal processing, classical and subspace-based direction of arrival (DOA) estimation with an extensive discussion on adaptive direction of arrival algorithms. The book begins with a presentation of the basic theory, equations, and data models of narrowband arrays. It then discusses basic...

Engineering and Social Justice (Synthesis Lectures on Engineers, Technology and Society)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2008

In recent years, some leaders in the engineering community in the United States and other countries have been seeking to cast engineering as a profession in service to humanity. This characterization is often propelled by “the problem” of an overall dearth of students entering engineering and a specific concern about underrepresentation...

Statistical Language Models for Information Retrieval (Synthesis Lectures on Human Language Technologies)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2008

As online information grows dramatically, search engines such as Google are playing a more and more important role in our lives. Critical to all search engines is the problem of designing an effective retrieval model that can rank documents accurately for a given query. This has been a central research problem in information retrieval for several...

Virtual Crowds: Methods, Simulation, and Control (Synthesis Lectures on Computer Graphics and Animation)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2008

There are many applications of computer animation and simulation where it is necessary to model virtual crowds of autonomous agents. Some of these applications include site planning, education, entertainment, training, and human factors analysis for building evacuation. Other applications include simulations of scenarios where masses of people...

Quantum Computer Science (Synthesis Lectures on Quantum Computing)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2008

In this text we present a technical overview of the emerging field of quantum computation along with new research results by the authors. What distinguishes our presentation from that of others is our focus on the relationship between quantum computation and computer science. Specifically, our emphasis is on the computational model of quantum...

Biomedical Image Analysis: Segmentation (Synthesis Lectures on Image, Video, & Multimedia Processing)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2007

The sequel to the popular lecture book entitled Biomedical Image Analysis: Tracking, this book on Biomedical Image Analysis: Segmentation tackles the challenging task of segmenting biological and medical images. The problem of partitioning multidimensional biomedical data into meaningful regions is perhaps the main roadblock in the automation of...

XML Retrieval (Synthesis Lectures on Information Concepts, Retrieval & Services)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2009

Documents usually have a content and a structure. The content refers to the text of the document, whereas the structure refers to how a document is logically organized. An increasingly common way to encode the structure is through the use of a mark-up language. Nowadays, the most widely used mark-up language for representing structure is the...
