Theoretical and practical tools to master matrix code design strategy and technique
Error correcting and detecting codes are essential to improving system reliability and have popularly been applied to computer systems and communication systems. Coding theory has been studied mainly using the code generator...
Continuing advances in chip technology, such as the ability to place more transistors on the same die (together with increased operating speeds) have opened new opportunities in embedded applications, breaking new ground in the domains of communication, multimedia, networking and entertainment. New consumer products, together...
There is probably no invention in the history of mankind that had such a profound
impact on our lives in such a short time as the World Wide Web. Twenty years ago,
Tim Berners-Lee has developed the first versions of HTML which allowed to weave
documents into the large hypertext document that we know today. It was soon realized
that...

This volume contains the Proceedings of the Nineteenth JURIX Conference on Legal Knowledge and Information Systems (JURIX 2006), December 7th–9th, Université Pantheon Assas – Paris II, France. This year we hoped to put two new topics on the agenda: Artificial Intelligence in police and intelligence services and the impact of AI...
The term "peer-to-peer" has come to be applied to networks that expect end users to contribute their own files, computing time, or other resources to some shared project. Even more interesting than the systems' technical underpinnings are their socially disruptive potential: in various ways they return content, choice, and...
In a devastating exposé in the tradition of Silent Spring and Fast Food Nation, investigative journalist Randall Fitzgerald warns how thousands of man-made chemicals in our food, water, medicine, and environment are making humans the most polluted species on the planet. A century ago in 1906, when Congress enacted the...
