The continuous developments of software-defined radio technology resulted in the appearance of the first real-time GPS software radios at the beginning of this century. For the first time, it was possible to realize a complete GNSS receiver without going into the depths of cumbersome hardware development that requires development or...
Multisensor data fusion is an emerging technology with important applications in both the military and civilian sectors, such as target recognition, robotics, medical diagnostics, and "smart" buildings. It draws on techniques from wide-ranging disciplines, including artificial intelligence, pattern recognition, and statistical...
This is the first book on space-time coding for wireless communications, one of the most promising techniques for ensuring bandwidth efficiency. The text describes theoretical principles as well as engineering applications; discusses key criteria in the design of practical space-time codes; and covers single-carrier and multi-carrier transmission...
Since the publication of the first edition of this seminar book in 1994, the theory and applications of extremes and rare events have enjoyed an enormous and still increasing interest. The intention of the book is to give a mathematically oriented development of the theory of rare events underlying various applications. This characteristic of...
This book gives readers in-depth know-how on methods of state estimation for nonlinear control systems. It starts with an introduction to dynamic control systems and system states and a brief description of the Kalman filter. In the following chapters, various state estimation techniques for nonlinear systems are discussed, including...
Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) address broad classes of optimization problems by learning explicit probabilistic models of promising solutions found so far and sampling the built models to generate new candidate solutions. By incorporating advanced machine learning techniques into genetic and evolutionary algorithms, EDAs can scalably...
This research volume is a continuation of our previous volume on intelligent
machines. We have laid the foundation of intelligent machines in SCI Series
Volume 70 by including the possible and successful applications of computational
intelligence paradigms in machines for mimicking the human behaviour.
Covering theory, algorithms, and methodologies, as well as data mining technologies, Data Mining for Bioinformatics provides a comprehensive discussion of data-intensive computations used in data mining with applications in bioinformatics. It supplies a broad, yet in-depth, overview of the application domains of data mining...
The latest research and developments in robust adaptive beamforming
Recent work has made great strides toward devising robust adaptive beamformers that vastly improve signal strength against background noise and directional interference. This dynamic technology has diverse applications, including radar, sonar, acoustics, astronomy, seismology,...
Reliability engineers are professionals who understand the principles of performance evaluation and prediction to improve product/systems safety, reliability, and maintainability. This handbook s chapters and sections match the Body of Knowledge (BOK) specified for ASQ s Reliability Engineer certification, which includes design review and control;...
This book describes analytical models and estimation methods to enhance performance estimation of pipelined multiprocessor systems-on-chip (MPSoCs). A framework is introduced for both design-time and run-time optimizations. For design space exploration, several algorithms are presented to minimize the area footprint of a pipelined MPSoC under...
This book is intended for use as the textbook in a second course in applied statistics that covers topics in multiple regression and analysis of variance at an intermediate level. Generally, students enrolled in such courses are primarily graduate majors or advanced undergraduate students from a variety of disciplines. These students typically have...
