While high-quality books and journals in this field continue to proliferate, none has yet come close to matching the Handbook of Discrete and Computational Geometry, which in its first edition, quickly became the definitive reference work in its field. But with the rapid growth of the discipline and the many advances made over the past seven...
Look around and you will see ways that people organize things. When you stopped at the store
this morning, you went to the back of a line to wait for the cashier. The line organized people
chronologically. The first person in the line was the first to be served and to leave the line.
Eventually, you reached the front of the line and...
Complex interacting networks are observed in systems from such diverse areas as physics, biology, economics, ecology, and computer science. For example, economic or social interactions often organize themselves in complex network structures. Similar phenomena are observed in traffic flow and in communication networks as the internet. In...
With the dawn of the Windows Phone 7 platform, Microsoft has offered us an easy way to create 3D mobile games. In this book, we will build a 3D game for Windows Phone 7 together, taking full advantage of the graphics and touch capabilities, along with the sensors of the platform.
The focus of this book is on bridging the gap between two extreme methods for developing software. On the one hand, there are texts and approaches that are so formal that they scare off all but the most dedicated theoretical computer scientists. On the other, there are some who believe that any measure of formality is a waste of time,...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 20th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms, ESA 2012, held in Ljubljana, Slovenia, in September 2012 in the context of the combined conference ALGO 2012. The 69 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 285 initial submissions: 56 out of 231 in track design...
Image manipulation is being used by professionals all over the world. Beautiful pictures can be achieved by combining technology with art. GIMP. the GNU Image Manipulation Program, makes them accessible to everyone. GIMP is. With it, anyone can express their emotional and intellectual capability in a new dimension.
MATLAB's customizable graphics elements allow you to tailor your visualizations for exactly what you need to present; alter the figure and axis properties, lighting, transparency and camera position. Use MATLAB to apply volume visualizations to your data as well as interactivity and animation, or to plot your data in 1, 2, 3 and higher...
The maintenance of long-living software systems is an essential topic in today’s software engineering practice and research. Software Architecture Restructuring is an important task to adjust these systems to current requirements and to keep them maintainable. Niels Streekmann introduces an approach to Software Architecture...
This publication offers and investigates efficient Monte Carlo simulation methods in order to realize a Bayesian approach to approximate learning of Bayesian networks from both complete and incomplete data. For large amounts of incomplete data when Monte Carlo methods are inefficient, approximations are implemented, such that learning remains...
This is the second of three “Best of the Perl Journal” O’Reilly
books, containing the crème de la crème of the 247 articles
published during the Perl Journal’s 5-year existence as a
standalone magazine. This particular book contains 39 articles
covering the web, graphics,...
Graduate students, researchers, and professionals in the field of computer networking
often require a firm conceptual understanding of its theoretical foundations.
Knowledge of optimization, information theory, game theory, control theory, and
queueing theory is assumed by research papers in the...
