Historically, computer security is related to both cryptography and access
control in operating systems. Cryptography, although mostly applied in
the military and diplomacy, was used to protect communication channels
and storage facilities (especially the backups). In the seventies there was a
breakthrough in cryptography - the...
This book is inspired by boredom and fascination: boredom with the usual presentation of data structures and algorithms, and fascination with complex
systems. The problem with data structures is that they are often taught without a motivating context; the problem with complexity science is that it is
usually not taught at...
This is the first book to cover every angle in the clinical application of biologics. Readers will not only find that all of the biologics currently approved for clinical use are delineated in a standardized way, but also the "differential therapy" with biologics in fields including dermatology and neurology is described in detail...
Recent years have seen an explosive growth in research in combinatorics and graph theory.
One primary factor in this rapid development has been the advent of computers, and the
parallel study of practical and efficient algorithms. This volume represents an attempt to...
This chapter gives an overview of quantum solutions. You will
see how quantum computing can be applied in real life. The
problem and solutions are presented with the solution benefits.
The solution benefits are automation, cost reduction and profit
improvements, efficiency improvement, and defect reduction.
The solutions...
We are surrounded by cryptography, from the ATM, where we withdraw cash, mobile phones, and the Internet, to workplace security systems that protect business secrets, and the civil and military codes that protect the skies above us.
In this fascinating introduction to how cryptography actually works, Fred Piper and Sean Murphy highlight...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th Dortmund Fuzzy Days, held in Dortmund, Germany, 2004. The Fuzzy-Days conference has established itself as an international forum for the discussion of new results in the field of Computational Intelligence. All the papers had to undergo a thorough review guaranteeing a solid quality of the...
In March 2005 about 40 scientists from Europe, Japan and the US came together the second time to discuss ways to achieve sustained performance on supercomputers in the range of Teraflops. The workshop held at the High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS) was the second of this kind. The first one had been held in May 2004. At both...
Learn the fundamental algorithms and protocols for wireless and mobile ad hoc networks
Advances in wireless networking and mobile communication technologies, coupled with the proliferation of portable computers, have led to development efforts for wireless and mobile ad hoc networks. This book focuses on several aspects of wireless ad hoc...
Clustering has become an increasingly important topic in recent years, caused by the glut of data from a wide variety of disciplines. However, due to the lack of good communication among these communities, similar theories or algorithms are redeveloped many times, causing unnecessary waste of time and resources. Furthermore, different terminologies...
The convergence of computing and communication has produced a society that feeds
on information. Yet most of the information is in its raw form: data. If data is characterized
as recorded facts, then information is the set of patterns, or expectations,
that underlie the data. There is a huge amount of information locked up in...
"Fixed-Point Algorithms for Inverse Problems in Science and Engineering" presents some of the most recent work from top-notch researchers studying projection and other first-order fixed-point algorithms in several areas of mathematics and the applied sciences. The material presented provides a survey of the state-of-the-art...
