This volume contains a collection of studies in the areas of complexity theory and
foundations of cryptography. These studies were conducted at different times
during the last couple of decades. Although many of these studies have been
referred to by other works, none of them was formally published before.
In the current fast-paced and constantly changing business environment, it is more important than ever for organizations to be agile, monitor business performance, and meet with increasingly stringent compliance requirements. Written by pioneering consultants and bestselling authors with track records of international success, The...
In this book, we study theoretical and practical aspects of computing methods for mathematical modelling of nonlinear systems. A number of computing techniques are considered, such as methods of operator approximation with any given accuracy; operator interpolation techniques including a non-Lagrange interpolation; methods of system...
FASE (Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering) is concerned with the foundations on which software engineering is built. Its focus is on novel techniques and the way in which they contribute to making software engineering a more mature and soundly based discipline. This year, we particularly encouraged contributions that combine the...
This is an unconventional book for an unconventional reader. It is intended
for those professionals who, in addition to their specialized knowledge,
would like to get a handle on life so they may put their special text into its
proper context. It speaks to those thinkers and practitioners who have
come to realize that learning to be...
Cutting planes (cuts) are very popular in the OR community, where they are
used to strengthen the Linear Programming (LP) relaxation of Mixed-Integer
Programs (MIPs) in the hope of improving the performance of an exact LPbased
solver. In particular, an intense research effort has been devoted to the
study of families of general cuts,...
The web has completely revolutionized the way we live our lives—the average person
in the UK now does an average of six Google searches a day. Within the lifetime of one
generation, our entire society has changed, and it continues to be catalyzed by technology
in a very fundamental way. For me, this is the most fascinating thing...
This book will detail the various enhancements, new functionalities, and general improvements
available in this version of the Adobe AIR runtime. Each item is explained
in detail, and when possible, a series of screen captures and a full code example will be
provided, enabling you to both grasp the new feature in a visual way, and...
The objective of this book is to provide an introduction to the basic principles in the
analysis and design of communication systems. It is primarily intended for use as a text
for a first course in communications, either at a senior level or at a first-year graduate
level.
Thorough coverage of basic digital communication...
Layout generation is an important topic in IC design. For digital circuits a lot of research
has been conducted in this area, resulting in a large variety of books and layout generation
tools. However, with the ever increasing frequencies, we are facing now significant analog
types of artifacts in the IC, introduced during the...
Mechanics as a fundamental science in Physics and in Engineering deals with
interactions of forces resulting in motion and deformation of material bodies.
Similar to other sciences Mechanics serves in the world of Physics and in that
of Engineering in a different way, in spite of many and increasing interdependencies.
Machines...
