Focusing on practical issues, A Programmer's Companion to Algorithm Analysis bridges the gap between algorithms and software programs. This book explains the fundamental differences between the computational model assumed for algorithms and the real architectures in which programs execute. It highlights the pitfalls that can occur when implementing...
The authors have certainly identified a gap in the literature … Overall, the book is very informative and provides a strong foundation for work in this active research area. -K. Alan Shore, Optics and Photonics News
The most significant feature of this work is that it combines three distinct topics - technology, device...
The world is shifting from narrowband to broadband. Services that were only available in the form of static, text-based websites a decade ago are now offered in full-motion, high-definition video. A whole new generation of Internet entrepreneurs is ready to take their ideas to the stock market.
Engineering and design are often a necessary steps for an industry to become effective. Industry modeling can help to bridge the communication gap among engineers and system designers.
Dynamic Methods and Process Advancements in Mechanical, Manufacturing, and Materials Engineering examines the principles of physics and...
"Today, databases house our 'information crown jewels', but database security is one of the weakest areas of most information security programs. With this excellent book, Ben-Natan empowers you to close this database security gap and raise your database security bar!" Bruce W. Moulton. CISO/VP, Fidelity Investments (1995 - 2001)...
Data communication networks are widely used today and are an integral part of our
daily life. The Internet is a medium for business, personal, and government communication,
and it is difficult to envision today’s society without this essential
infrastructure. The continued success of the Internet is dependent on our ability
to...
This is the first book to examine the “nuts and bolts” of production processes. It proposes a truly consilient approach to modeling production processes – one that goes beyond the vague principles found in standard economics – and provides details that are consistent with the applied mechanics and engineering...
Maxillofacial imaging has evolved dramatically over the past two decades with development of new cross-sectional imaging techniques. Traditional maxillofacial imaging was based on plain films and dental imaging. However, today’s advanced imaging techniques with CT and MRI have only been partially implemented for maxillofacial questions....
This critical and systematic analysis of election reforms post-HAVA (Help America Vote Act of 2002) offers a detailed look ahead at the significant challenges that remain in the context of a new presidential administration. Employing a mixed methodological approach, this book analyzes the biggest election challenges faced by voters...
Defining a formal domain ontology is generally considered a useful, not to say necessary step in almost every software project. This is because software deals with ideas rather than with self-evident physical artefacts. However, this development step is hardly ever done, as ontologies rely on well-defined and semantically powerful AI concepts...
