This book presents a comprehensive review of key distributed graph algorithms for computer network applications, with a particular emphasis on practical implementation. Topics and features: introduces a range of fundamental graph algorithms, covering spanning trees, graph traversal algorithms, routing algorithms, and self-stabilization;...
Miscommunication… Employee conflict… Work ethic debates… Loyalty issues… Varying wants and needs… If you are a manager, human resources professional, or business owner, you are faced with these types of issues every day. But why? Because currently, there are five generations in the workplace: Radio Babies...
“Computing Networks” explores the core of the new distributed computing infrastructures we are using today: the networking systems of clusters, grids and clouds. It helps network designers and distributed-application developers and users to better understand the technologies, specificities, constraints and benefits of these...
This publication is the first book on the development and application of digital terrain modelling for regional planning and policy support. It is a compilation of research results by international research groups at the European Commission's Joint Research Centre, providing scientific support to the development and implementation of EU...
Turning thirty years of medical and cultural wisdom on its head, Sex, Lies, and Menopause challenges both the medical establishment and modern feminists to prove that menopause does not have to be deadly.
In this revolutionary work -- a landmark that signals the true beginning of feminist medicine -- a doctor, a...
Sensor networks differ from traditional networks in many aspects including their limited energy, memory space, and computational capability. These differentiators create unique security vulnerabilities.
Security in Sensor Networks covers all aspects of the subject, serving as an invaluable reference for researchers,...
Interest in clinical cardiovascular imaging has skyrocketed over the past quarter
century. Dozens of new imaging modalities have arisen from advances in the physical
sciences, electrical engineering, information technology, chemical synthesis,
and in pharmacology. Mostly driven by newly developed technology, these
advances have...
After the devastating tsunami in 2011, DYIers in Japan built their own devices to detect radiation levels, then posted their finding on the Internet. Right now, thousands of people worldwide are tracking environmental conditions with monitoring devices they’ve built themselves. You can do it too!
While polymer technology forms one of the largest areas of application of microwave technology, and the methods and procedures used therein are among the most developed, there is still a relative lack of published information on the subject.
Microwave-Enhanced Polymer Chemistry and Technology describes novel approaches to...
Electronic Sensors for the Evil Genius: 54 Electrifying Projects was created as a voyage of discover}* for children, adults, science buffs, and for those curious at heart of all ages. This book was designed to provide a spark for the curiosity seeker, as well as to inspire curious children, students, and adults alike toward experimentation...
The future of high-performance computing (HPC) lies with large distributed parallel systems with three levels of parallelism, thousands of nodes containing MIMD* groups of SIMD* processors. For the past 50 years, the clock cycle of single processors has decreased steadily and the cost of each processor has decreased. Most applications would...
AS IPHONES AND IPADS BECOME A UBIQUITOUS part of your personal and professional life,
you become more and more dependent on their capability to seamlessly and fl awlessly interact
with hosts across the Internet or with other phones across the room. This book provides
a compilation of methods to accomplish this level of connectivity...
