"This is a book about scheduling algorithms. … The book contains eleven chapters. … Most of the chapters contain the summarized complexity results. In this edition the complexity columns have been updated. The book is completed by the bibliography which also has been updated and...
An enormous proliferation of databases in almost every area of human endeavor has created a great demand for new, powerful tools for turning data into useful, task-oriented knowledge. In the efforts to satisfy this need, researchers have been exploring ideas and methods developed in machine learning, pattern recognition, statistical data analysis,...
The growing dependence of enterprise networks on Internet connectivity is forcing professional system and network administrators to turn to technologies that they may not fully understand for solutions. This book will provide those connectivity solutions, delivering both an understanding of technology fundamentals and their practical applications....
Information technology is an increasingly large factor in legal proceedings. In cases large and small, from the U.S. Government's antitrust suit against Microsoft Corporation, to civil lawsuits filed over the failure of a network, to criminal cases in which the authenticity of electronic evidence is questioned, the testimony of a technical...
In an increasingly interconnected environment, we are consistently required to develop better and more cost-effective defenses for our information systems. In the past when information security was the realm of governments and the military and when security was only concernd with the confidentiality of the information, then the concept of...
This book investigates the opportunities in building intelligent decision support systems offered by multiagent distributed probabilistic reasoning.
Probabilistic reasoning with graphical models, also known as Bayesian networks or belief networks, has become an active field of research and practice in artificial intelligence, operations...
This paper initiates a mathematical theory of aeroelasticity centered on the canonical problem of the flutter boundary — an instability endemic to aircraft that limits attainable speed in the subsonic regime. We develop a continuum mathematical model that exhibits the known flutter phenomena and yet is amenable to analysis...
Bioimaging is in the forefront of medicine for the diagnosis and helps to predict the progression of AD via mild cognitive treatment of neurodegenerative disease. Conventional magnetic impairment (MCI) studies. resonance imaging (MRI) uses interactive external magnetic fields Novel neuroimaging technologies, such as neuromolecular and...
This volume first introduces the mathematical tools necessary for understanding and working with a broad class of applied stochastic models. The toolbox includes Gaussian processes, independently scattered measures such as Gaussian white noise and Poisson random measures, stochastic integrals, compound Poisson, infinitely divisible and stable...
A delayed train, a dip in the conversation, an early morning hour with no sleep—during these moments, do you feel an overwhelming urge to grab your BlackBerry? Do you know someone else who does? If the answer is yes, then look no further than this one-of-a-kind book…
