Advanced FPGA Design: Architecture, Implementation, and Optimization

John Wiley & Sons, 2007

In the design-consulting business, I have been exposed to countless FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) designs, methodologies, and design techniques. Whether my client is on the Fortune 100 list or is just a start-up company, they will inevitably do some things right and many things wrong. After having been exposed to a wide variety of...

Multi-Objective Swarm Intelligent Systems: Theory & Experiences (Studies in Computational Intelligence)

Springer, 2009

Recently, a new class of heuristic techniques, the swarm intelligence has emerged. In this context, more recently, biologists and computer scientists in the field of “artificial life” have been turning to insects for ideas that can be used for heuristics. Many aspects of the collective activities of social insects,...

Verifying Concurrent Processes Using Temporal Logic (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) (v. 129)

Springer, 1982

Concurrent processes can exhibit extremely complicated behavior, and neither informal reasoning nor testing is reliable enough to establish their correctness. In this thesis, we develop a new technique for the verification of parallel programs. The technique is stated in terms of axioms and inference rules, and it is used to prove...

Scheduling Algorithms

Springer, 2007

From the reviews of the fourth edition:

"This is a book about scheduling algorithms. … The book contains eleven chapters. … Most of the chapters contain the summarized complexity results. In this edition the complexity columns have been updated. The book is completed by the bibliography which also has been updated and...

Foundations of Learning Classifier Systems (Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing)

Springer, 2005

Learning Classifier Systems (LCS) [Holland, 1976] are a machine learning technique which combines evolutionary computing, reinforcement learning, supervised learning or unsupervised learning, and heuristics to produce adaptive systems. They are rulebased systems, where the rules are usually in the traditional production system form of “IF...

Essential Algorithms: A Practical Approach to Computer Algorithms

John Wiley & Sons, 2013

A friendly and accessible introduction to the most useful algorithms

Computer algorithms are the basic recipes for programming. Professional programmers need to know how to use algorithms to solve difficult programming problems. Written in simple, intuitive English, this book describes how and when to use the most practical...

Task Scheduling for Parallel Systems (Wiley Series on Parallel and Distributed Computing)

John Wiley & Sons, 2007

A new model for task scheduling that dramatically improves the efficiency of parallel systems

Task scheduling for parallel systems can become a quagmire of heuristics, models, and methods that have been developed over the past decades. The author of this innovative text cuts through the confusion and complexity by...

Adaptive and Natural Computing Algorithms: Proceedings of the International Conference in Coimbra, Portugal, 2005

Springer, 2005

The papers in this volume present theoretical insights and report practical applications both for neural networks, genetic algorithms and evolutionary computation. In the field of natural computing, swarm optimization, bioinformatics and computational biology contributions are no less compelling. A wide selection of contributions report...

The Algorithm Design Manual

Springer, 1998

Most of the professional programmers that I've encountered are not well prepared to tackle algorithm
design problems. This is a pity, because the techniques of algorithm design form one of the core practical
technologies of computer science. Designing correct, efficient, and implementable algorithms for realworld
problems is a tricky...

Software Engineering Foundations: A Software Science Perspective

Auerbach Publications, 2007

A groundbreaking book in this field, Software Engineering Foundations: A Software Science Perspective integrates the latest research, methodologies, and their applications into a unified theoretical framework. Based on the author's 30 years of experience, it examines a wide range of underlying theories from philosophy, cognitive informatics,...

Automatic Design of Decision-Tree Induction Algorithms (SpringerBriefs in Computer Science)

Springer, 2015

Presents a detailed study of the major design components that constitute a top-down decision-tree induction algorithm, including aspects such as split criteria, stopping criteria, pruning and the approaches for dealing with missing values. Whereas the strategy still employed nowadays is to use a 'generic' decision-tree induction...

Humanitarian and Relief Logistics: Research Issues, Case Studies and Future Trends

Springer, 2013

This edited volume highlights recent research advances in humanitarian relief logistics. The contributed chapters span the spectrum of key issues and activities from preparedness to mitigation operations (response), planning and execution. The volume also presents state-of-the-art methods and systems through current case studies.
