Fundamentals of Database Systems (4th Edition)

Addison Wesley, 2003

This book introduces the fundamental concepts necessary for designing, using, and implementing database systems and applications. Our presentations stresses the fundamentals of database modeling and design, the languages and facilities provided by the database management systems, and system implementation techniques. The book is meant to be used as...

The Fractal Structure of Data Reference: Applications to the Memory Hierarchy

Springer, 2000

For purposes of understanding its performance, a computer system is traditionally viewed as a processor coupled to one or more disk storage devices, and driven by externally generated requests (typically called transactions). Over the past several decades, very powerful techniques have become available to the performance analyst attempting to...

Foundations of Knowledge Acquisition:: Machine Learning (The International Series in Engineering and Computer Science)

Springer, 1993

The two volumes of Foundations of Knowledge Acquisition document the recent progress of basic research in knowledge acquisition sponsored by the Office of Naval Research. This volume is subtitled Machine Learning, and there is a companion volume subtitled Cognitive Models of Complex Learning. Funding was provided by a five-year Accelerated...

Service Provision: Technologies for Next Generation Communications

John Wiley & Sons, 2004

This book provides the first overview of the service technologies available to telecoms operators working in a post-convergence world. Previous books have focused either on computer networks or on telecoms networks. This is the first to bring the two together and provide a single reference source for information that is currently only to be found...

Principles of Network and System Administration

John Wiley & Sons, 2000

Burgess fine book … is a well-articulated introduction to a corpus of guiding principles for systems administrators … I consider this an important book … I think that Burgess will become part of the required reading for future (and current) systems administrators. Peter Salus, Usenix Association Features

Computational Line Geometry (Mathematics and Visualization)

Springer, 2010

The geometry of lines occurs naturally in such different areas as sculptured surface machining, computation of offsets and medial axes, surface reconstruction for reverse engineering, geometrical optics, kinematics and motion design, and modeling of developable surfaces. This book covers line geometry from various viewpoints and aims towards...

Compression for Great Video and Audio, Second Edition: Master Tips and Common Sense (DV Expert)

Focal Press, 2009

It was the fall of 1989, and I was taking a computer animation class at UMass Amherst (I went to Hampshire College, another school in the Five Colleges consortium). We were using long-gone tools like Paracomp Swivel 3D to create a video about robots. This was well before After Effects, so we were using Macromind Director 1.0 as a very basic...

Personal Computing Demystified

McGraw-Hill, 2004

Welcome to the personal computing adventure—and it is an adventure. You might be surprised to learn that few people, even the word wizards who write dictionaries and encyclopedias, attempt to define personal computing. It’s one of the phrases we just accept, thinking it has something to do with personal computers (PCs).And, it does....

Machine Learning Methods in the Environmental Sciences: Neural Networks and Kernels

Cambridge University Press, 2009

Machine learning is a major subfield in computational intelligence (also called artificial intelligence). Its main objective is to use computational methods to extract information from data. Neural network methods, generally regarded as forming the first wave of breakthrough in machine learning, became popular in the late 1980s, while kernel...

Reinforcement of Polymer Nano-Composites: Theory, Experiments and Applications

Cambridge University Press, 2009

Reinforced rubber allows the production of passenger car tires with improved rolling resistance and wet grip. This book provides in-depth coverage of the physics behind elastomer reinforcement, with a particular focus on the modification of polymer properties using active fillers such as carbon black and silica. The authors build a firm theoretical...

Nonnegative Matrix and Tensor Factorizations: Applications to Exploratory Multi-way Data Analysis and Blind Source Separation

John Wiley & Sons, 2009

This book provides a broad survey of models and efficient algorithms for Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF). This includes NMF’s various extensions and modifications, especially Nonnegative Tensor Factorizations (NTF) and Nonnegative Tucker Decompositions (NTD). NMF/NTF and their extensions are increasingly used as tools in signal and...

Semiconductors and the Information Revolution: Magic Crystals that made IT Happen

Academic Press, 2009

This book sets out to explain the development of modern electronic systems and devices from the viewpoint of the semiconductor materials (germanium, silicon, gallium arsenide and many others) which made them possible. It covers the scientific understanding of these materials and its intimate relationship with their technology and many applications....
