The success of a learning endeavor rests on several factors, including the complexity of the material and the level of direct involvement on the part of the student. It takes more than passive attendance at a lecture to learn most complex subjects. To truly learn and understand all of the elements of a complex issue requires exploration...

This book is designed to accompany a final year undergraduate or masters level course in pervasive computing, although it could serve well as a course for introducing sensors or experiment design to students in earlier years at university with some skimming over the research focus; or equally as a getting-started guide for PhD level...

The intention of this book is to provide a thorough reference for those considering a migration into the virtualized world. The majority of our target readers will likely be seasoned system administrators and engineers who grew up in and still manage primarily a hardware-based server environment containing a large assortment of both...

The goal of this book is to provide an overview of the current state of knowledge of educational data mining (EDM). The primary goal of EDM is to use large-scale educational data sets to better understand learning and to provide information about the learning process. Although researchers have been studying human learning for over a...

This book is an attempt to bring together current research in the domain of interactive horizontal displays. The book integrates and summarises findings from the most important international tabletop research teams. It provides a state-of-the-art overview and allows for the discussion of emerging and future directions in research and...

This book is intended for an object-oriented course in data structures and algorithms. The implementation language is Java, and it is assumed that students have taken a first course in programming, not necessarily in Java. That course should have covered the fundamental statements and data types, as well as arrays. Chapter 0 supplies...
