Randomization has become a standard approach in algorithm design. Efficiency and simplicity are the main features of randomized algorithms that often made randomization a miraculous springboard for solving complex problems in various applications. Especially in the areas of communication, cryptography, data management, and discrete...

Response to the iPhone, the iPod touch, and now the iPad has been nothing short of overwhelming. The App Store has captured the hobbyist’s imagination like no other platform in recent memory. Hobbyists have made—and will continue to make—money from their creations sold on the App Store. And we aren’t necessarily...

Get "Up and Running" with AutoCAD using Gindis' combination of step-by-step instruction, examples, and insightful explanations. The emphasis from the beginning is on core concepts and practical application of AutoCAD in Architecture, Engineering and Design. Equally useful in instructor-led classroom training or self-study, the...

Okay, you are not a computer science major, perhaps not even a...

Welcome to MCSA/MCSE Self−Paced Training Kit (Exam 70−291): Implementing, Managing, and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure, Second Edition. This book prepares you for the 70-291 exam by teaching you how to configure, manage, and troubleshoot various aspects of a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Service...

I am very pleased to have this new book in the Aho/Ullman series Principles of Computer Science. I see this book as a major step toward making computer science theory accessible to the wide range of students who need to know the subject. It covers a good segment of the classical material on data structures and algorithms, but it does so in a...

Although vast activity exists, especially recent, the editors did not find any book that treats applied algorithms in a comprehensive manner. The editors discovered a number of graduate courses in computer science programs with titles such as “Design and Analysis of Algorithms, “Combinatorial Algorithms” “Evolutionary...

Analysis and Control of Boolean Networks presents a systematic new approach to the investigation of Boolean control networks. The fundamental tool in this approach is a novel matrix product called the semi-tensor product (STP). Using the STP, a logical function can be expressed as a conventional discrete-time linear system. In the light of...

MATLAB is an abbreviation for MATrix LABoratory and it is ideally suited for computations involving matrices. Since all of the sciences routinely collect data in the form of (spreadsheet) matrices, MATLAB turns out to be particularly suitable for the analysis of mathematical problems in an assortment of fields. MATLAB is very easy to...

Because of the wide use of adaptive filtering in digital signal processing and, because most of the modern electronic devices include some type of an adaptive filter, a text that brings forth the fundamentals of this field was necessary. The material and the principles presented in this book are easily accessible to engineers, scientists, and...
