Within the last 15 years in the field of “sputtering by particle bombardment”
several new and important results have been published in internal reports,
in PhD thesis, as well as in the open literature. This relates especially to
a more detailed understanding of the sputtering process by computational
means such as...
The idea for this book was formed during the doctorate of Bernd Iser. Bernd
Iser was working on efficient and robust bandwidth extension algorithms in
hands-free systems for Harman/Becker Automotive Systems. It turned out
that bandwidth extension of speech signals was a topic of appreciable interest,
where lots of scientific...
Where do program ideas come from? How are concepts developed into saleable productions? Who do you talk to about getting a show produced? How do you schedule shows on the lineup? What do you do if a series is in trouble? The answers to these questions, and many more, can be found in this comprehensive, in-depth look at the roles and...
A recent CBS poll revealed that, as a result of corporate scandals at Enron, WorldCom,
Adelphia Communications, and others, a whopping two-thirds of Americans believe that
corporate executives are dishonest. This overall assessment is even worse now than during
the last financial crises, the savings and loan debacle of the 1980s....
"Corporate Information Strategy and Management: Text and Cases 8/e" by Applegate, Austin, and Soule is written for students and managers who desire an overview of contemporary information systems technology management. This new edition examines how information technology (IT) enables organizations to conduct business in radically...
This book provides a foundation in digital design for students in computer
engineering, electrical engineering and computer science courses. It deals
with digital design as an activity in a larger systems design context. Instead
of focusing on gate-level design and aspects of digital design that have
diminishing relevance in a...
At the instigation of the Iron and Steel Federation, the late Bernard Godfrey began
work in 1952 on the first edition of the Steel Designers’ Manual. As principal author
he worked on the manuscript almost continuously for a period of two years. On
many Friday evenings he would meet with his co-authors, Charles Gray, Lewis Kent...
The IBM Vienna Laboratory has made a significant contribution to the work on
the semantic description of computer systems. Both the operational semantics
descriptions ("VDL") and the later work on denotational semantics ("Meta-IV",
"VEM") contain interesting scientific ideas. Partly because of the large...
Whether responding to a tender from a potential client or pitching a new IT project to
the Board, a well-written proposal can be the difference between success and failure.
IT Project Proposals Writing to Win can help you to create high quality, persuasive
proposals that will stand out from the crowd. The author explains how to...
I suspect Martin plied me to write this foreword while out one evening during the 2010 Plone Conference in Bristol. Full from an excellent dinner and even better conversation, beer in hand, who could say no?
I've long envied Martin's ability to write. Text and code flow from his fingers at a rate that I can't even begin...
In 2002, Web services were a hot topic and the concept of serviceoriented
architecture (SOA), while not a new idea, was beginning to
pick up steam. It did not take long for organizations to realize that
Web services mandated the concept and organizational model of SOA
to guide their selection, design, implementation, and management....
The use of modular and parallel programming languages, and the development of distributed architectures is having a profound influence on computer programming and systems design; hardware and performance can now conspire to produce much higher operating speeds than could previously be achieved through sequential processing. Executing...
