The setting and attainment of goals is a fundamental aspect of human decision
making, which is manifest in the modern discipline of operational research by the
technique of goal programming. Influences from the fields of mathematical programming
and multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) can be found in goal
programming, and it is...
Welcome to Fundamentals of Python. This text is intended for a complete, firstyear
study of programming and problem-solving. It covers the material taught in
typical Computer Science 1 and Computer Science 2 courses (CS1 and CS2) at
the undergraduate level.

The decade of the 80's saw the dramatic expansion of high performance
computer graphics into domains previously able only to
irt with the technology. Among the most dramatic has been the incorporation of real-time
interactive manipulation and display for human gures. Though actively pur-
sued by several research groups, the...
More and more people are using the query language SPARQL (pronounced “sparkle”) to pull data from a growing collection of public and private data. Whether this data is part of a semantic web project or an integration of two inventory databases on different platforms behind the same firewall, SPARQL is making it easier to access...
Welcome to the special issue of the International Journal of High Speed Electronics and Systems on "High-Speed Mixed-Signal Integrated Circuits". Silicon, in particular MOS silicon, has rapidly become the de facto technology for mixed-signal integrated circuit design due to the high levels of integration possible as device...
Since Tim Berners-Lee’s original idea for a global system of interlinked hypertext
documents from 1989, the World Wide Web has grown into the world’s biggest
pool of human knowledge. Over the past few years, the Web has changed the way
people communicate and exchange information. It has created new business...
