The Coming Robot Revolution: Expectations and Fears About Emerging Intelligent, Humanlike Machines
The Coming Robot Revolution: Expectations and Fears About Emerging Intelligent, Humanlike Machines

Making a robot that looks and behaves like a human being has been the subject of many popular science fiction movies and books. Although the development of such a robot faces many challenges, the making of a virtual human has long been potentially possible. With recent advances in various key technologies related to hardware and...

An Introduction to Modern Mathematical Computing: With Maple(TM)
An Introduction to Modern Mathematical Computing: With Maple(TM)

Thirty years ago mathematical, as opposed to applied numerical, computation was difficult to perform and so relatively little used. Three threads changed that: the emergence of the personal computer; the discovery of fiber-optics and the consequent development of the modern internet; and the building of the Three “M’s”...

Computer Methods for Analysis of Mixed-Mode Switching Circuits
Computer Methods for Analysis of Mixed-Mode Switching Circuits

Mixed-mode switching circuits distinguish themselves from other circuits by including switches that are either clocked externally or controlled internally. These circuits have found broad applications in telecommunication networks, instrumentation, and power electronic systems, to name a few. It is the emergence of switched capacitor...

Programming Many-Core Chips
Programming Many-Core Chips

Parallel computing has been confined, for much of its over 40 year history, to highly specialized, technology-wise advanced domains such as scientific computing or telecommunications. There were only a few experts who had the background and experience to write efficient, robust and scalable programs for these parallel machines.

The Handbook of MPEG Applications: Standards in Practice
The Handbook of MPEG Applications: Standards in Practice

The need for compressed and coded representation and transmission of multimedia data has not rescinded as computer processing power, storage, and network bandwidth have increased. They have merely served to increase the demand for greater quality and increased functionality from all elements in the multimedia delivery and consumption...

High Performance Datacenter Networks: Architectures, Algorithms, & Opportunities (Synthesis Lectures on Computer Architecture)
High Performance Datacenter Networks: Architectures, Algorithms, & Opportunities (Synthesis Lectures on Computer Architecture)

Datacenter networks provide the communication substrate for large parallel computer systems that form the ecosystem for high performance computing (HPC) systems and modern Internet applications. The design of new datacenter networks is motivated by an array of applications ranging from communication intensive climatology, complex material...

Enterprise Software Architecture and Design: Entities, Services, and Resources (Quantitative Software Engineering Series)
Enterprise Software Architecture and Design: Entities, Services, and Resources (Quantitative Software Engineering Series)
This book is about programming-in-the-large, a term coined by DeRemer and Kron [2] to distinguish the assembly of large applications from components, from the task of implementing those components themselves. Many of the principles of programming-in-the-large were earlier elucidated by Parnas in two articles [3, 4]. It is...
Parallel Programming in C with Mpi and Openmp
Parallel Programming in C with Mpi and Openmp

The era of practical parallel programming has arrived, marked by the popularity of the MPI and OpenMP software standards and the emergence of commodity clusters as the hardware platform of choice for an increasing number of organizations. This exciting new book, "Parallel Programming in C with MPI and OpenMP" addresses the needs of...

Development of Multimodal Interfaces: Active Listening and Synchrony: Second COST 2102 International Training School
Development of Multimodal Interfaces: Active Listening and Synchrony: Second COST 2102 International Training School
This volume brings together, through a peer-revision process, the advanced research results obtained by the European COST Action 2102: Cross-Modal Analysis of Verbal and Nonverbal Communication, primarily discussed for the first time at the Second COST 2102 International Training School on “Development of Multimodal...
Scala in Depth
Scala in Depth
In fall 2010 Michael Stephens from Manning contacted me about writing a Scala Book. I was working for a small virtualization/security startup where I had been learning Scala and applying it to our codebase. During that first conversation Michael and I discussed the Scala ecosystem and what kind of a book would best...
Practical Load Balancing: Ride the Performance Tiger
Practical Load Balancing: Ride the Performance Tiger
The Internet, and in particular the World Wide Web, have effectively leveled the playing field for businesses and individuals around the world. Do you have a great idea for a web site or a service? Even the more advanced ideas can be relatively easily and cheaply realized without much in the way of initial outlay. You can get...
Remote Sensing of Snow and Ice
Remote Sensing of Snow and Ice
Although our planet is characterized by water, the extent to which water in its frozen state plays a role in the functioning of the Earth is perhaps underappreciated. Snow and ice cover about a sixth of the Earth’s surface, as snow lying on the ground, as glaciers and larger masses of terrestrial ice, including the huge...
