Neurocomputing methods are loosely based on a model of the brain as a network of simple interconnected processing elements corresponding to neurons. These methods derive their power from the collective processing of artificial neurons, the chief advantage being that such systems can learn and adapt to a changing environment. In knowledge-based...
Are you familiar with the IEEE floating point arithmetic standard? Would you like to understand it better? This book gives a broad overview of numerical computing, in a historical context, with a special focus on the IEEE standard for binary floating point arithmetic. Key ideas are developed step by step, taking the reader from floating point...
The design of reliable industrial and commercial power systems is of considerable interest to
many people. Prior to 1962, a qualitative viewpoint was taken when attempting to achieve
this objective. The need for a quantitative approach was first recognized in the early 1960s
when a small group of pioneers led by W. H. Dickinson...

Biometrics deals with recognition of individuals based on their physiological or behavioral characteristics. The human ear is a new feature in biometrics that has several merits over the more common face, fingerprint and iris biometrics. Unlike the fingerprint and iris, it can be easily captured from a distance without a fully cooperative...
Wireless communications is one of the most active areas of research over the past and the current decades. In fact, the demand for wireless services has been changing from the regular voice telephony services to mixed voice, data, and multimedia services over the wireless media. Since the mid-1990s, the wireless industry has...
