Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) is a groundbreaking approach to writing and executing programs. WF programs are assembled out of resumable program statements called activities, which provide encapsulation of both domainspecific logic and control flow patterns reflective of real-world...
While most Windows books concentrate on a ground floor approach, Platinum Edition Using Microsoft Windows XP takes an entirely different approach - one that assumes the reader is a bona fide Windows black belt who wants or needs to manage multiple users in a networked environment, turbocharge a Windows installation with registry tweaks or stop...
"...well-written and covers broad subjects related to the test of digital circuits. It will be useful for students and engineers involved in design and testing." (IEEE Circuits & Devices Magazine, July/August 2005)
“This is an excellent introduction to testing digital...
Large networks are complex systems, with many interdependent devices held together only by the strength of the network designer's specifications. It takes a lot of knowledge--and a lot of time--to make sure that the capacity of links and nodes is neither wasted nor overloaded. Designing Large-Scale LANs explains how the pieces of a large...

The vast expansion and rigorous treatment of cryptography is one of the major achievements of theoretical computer science. In particular, concepts such as computational indistinguishability, pseudorandomness and zero-knowledge interactive proofs were introduced, classical notions such as secure encryption and unforgeable signatures were placed on...
This book presents a unique combination of mobile robots and embedded systems, from introductory to intermediate level. It is structured in three parts, dealing with embedded systems (hardware and software design, actuators, sensors, PID control, multitasking), mobile robot design (driving, balancing, walking, and flying robots), and mobile...
