Networked RFID: Systems, Software and Services (Computer Communications and Networks)

Springer, 2008

RFID technology has been available for decades, but it is only recently that its application has become a core topic for computing. This book introduces the technologies and techniques of large-scale RFID-enabled mobile computing systems, set in the context of specific case studies.

The book begins with a quick introduction to RFID basics and...

Counter Hack Reloaded: A Step-by-Step Guide to Computer Attacks and Effective Defenses (2nd Edition)

Prentice Hall, 2006

It's hard to remember a world without the Internet. We now take for granted that we can access our bank accounts and health records, get driving directions, talk to friends, and shop, all on the Internet. Many companies couldn't survive without it because it is their link to their customers.

But the...

The NeuroProcessor: An Integrated Interface to Biological Neural Networks

Springer, 2008

This book presents the Neuroprocessor, a novel computational neuronal interface device implemented in VLSI technology. In addition to neuronal signals acquisition, it can process the data, generate stimuli and transmit the data over wireless channels, while using minimum electric energy.

The NeuroProcessor opens with a brief background...

The Mathematical Theory of Cosmic Strings (Series in High Energy Physics, Cosmology and Gravitation)

Taylor & Francis, 2002

Anderson provides a comprehensive summary and review of the mathematical theory of cosmic strings. The subject is not in a state of rapid change so the book is up to date and it is likely to remain so for some time. Although the book is technical and requires a strong mathematical background and an interest in differential geometry, it is well...

Principles of Embedded Networked Systems Design

Cambridge University Press, 2005

"...this volume represents a real mine of information...anyone working in the field would benefit from owning a copy." IEEE Communications Engineer

Embedded network systems (ENS) provide a set of technologies that can link the physical world to large-scale networks in applications, such as monitoring of borders,...

Analytic Hyperbolic Geometry And Albert Einstein's Special Theory Of Relativity

World Scientific Publishing, 2008

This book presents a powerful way to study Einstein's special theory of relativity and its underlying hyperbolic geometry in which analogies with classical results form the right tool. It introduces the notion of vectors into analytic hyperbolic geometry, where they are called gyrovectors.

Newtonian velocity addition is the common vector...

Crypto Anarchy, Cyberstates, and Pirate Utopias

MIT Press, 2001

In Crypto Anarchy, Cyberstates, and Pirate Utopias, Peter Ludlow extends the approach he used so successfully in High Noon on the Electronic Frontier, offering a collection of writings that reflects the eclectic nature of the online world, as well as its tremendous energy and creativity. This time the subject is the emergence...

Partial Differential Equations in Fluid Dynamics

Cambridge University Press, 2008

This book is concerned with partial differential equations applied to fluids problems in science and engineering. This work is designed for two potential audiences. First, this book can function as a text for a course in mathematical methods in fluid mechanics in non-mathematics departments or in mathematics service courses. The authors have taught...
