The tools for creating and broadcasting a professional-quality video have never
been as accessible as they are today, thanks to more affordable and powerful
recording equipment and computers, broadband Internet, and user-friendly
software.
Remote sensing has entered a new era in the twenty-first century with a
series of operating satellites from the NASA Earth Observing System (EOS)
program, other international programs, and commercial programs. Since
November 2000 the first civilian spaceborne hyperspectral sensor, Hyperion,
has observed land surfaces on the...
Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) have recently received a great deal of attention as a
promising cost-effective solution to provide coverage and broadband wireless
connectivity for mobile users to get access to different IP applications and services.
The factor that has helped WMNs become attractive is the wide application prospects...
Antennas and antenna systems are the eyes and ears of wireless communication systems,
which have experienced an unprecedented rapid expansion. Part of this advancement has
been attributed to contributions of antenna technology. These wireless systems, no matter
how simple or complex, cannot operate efficiently unless they utilize...
In early 1994, Tim Berners-Lee put out an open call for a virtual reality specification for
the Web; Mark Pesce and I answered. Only being able to afford one plane ticket, we sent
Mark to Geneva to present our Labyrinth prototype at the first-ever World Wide Web
Developers’ Conference. With typical bombast,...
This book is now in its fifth edition. Each edition has corresponded to a different phase in the way computer networks were used. When the first edition appeared in 1980, networks were an academic curiosity. When the second edition appeared in 1988, networks were used by universities and large businesses. When the third edition appeared in...
The Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) has been around since the early 1990s. My earliest encounter
was somewhere around 1993 or 1994, when I was working at a university research lab not far from
London. There was only one browser—NCSA Mosaic—and the number of web servers could be counted
on one hand.
This book covers a vast array of information related to packetC. It is a complete language reference and contains background information on many unique parts of packetC. As packetC shares much of its grammar with C, the book focuses on being an instructional language reference and not a general C programming introduction, since extensive...
Iwhat has happened in that time. We have seen the transformation of the Web from
a small experiment to a World Wide phenomenon. We have seen the emergence
of voice over IP and peer-to-peer content sharing. We have seen technology speed up
a hundred-fold, the emergence of broadband to the home, and the rise of botnets and
other horrid...
Adobe MAX is a conference sponsored by Adobe every year
to bring together developers and designers who work with
Adobe technologies and enable them to learn new techniques,
network with one another, and, in general, get excited about
the company and its products. Of course, the attendees of a
conference like MAX are almost by...
The digital revolution is in full force but many public and private sector leaders are stymied: How can they maximize the full potential of digital technology? This hesitancy puts a brake on the transformational power of digital technology and means private companies and governmental bodies fall well behind other digital pioneers....
Here's a comprehensive, easy-to-understand guide to the underlying technologies, key selection criteria, and design and deployment processes behind wireless local loop (WLL) systems. This one-source reference helps technical professionals develop a sound understanding of WLL system design procedures, and provides practical guidance on choosing the...
