There is very little specialist literature available on IMAP servers, and no
current documentation deals with the subject in sufficient depth.
There is a real need for a guide to IMAP. A quick look at relevant mailing
lists shows that they are full of questions and problems, indicating that the
software solutions now in use...
Thirty years ago, when the first edition of this book was published, little had
been written about the management of libraries and information centers.
Those seeking advice, examples, and information about how to manage libraries
were forced to search for answers in the literature of public administration
or business management. Since...
The roots of the project which culminates with the writing of
this book can be traced to the work on logic synthesis started in 1979 at
the IBM Watson Research Center and at University of California,
Berkeley. During the preliminary phases of these projects, the impor
tance of logic minimization for the synthesis of area and...
Sequencing and scheduling is a formof decision-making that plays a crucial role in manufacturing and service industries. In the current competitive environment effective sequencing and scheduling has become a necessity for survival in the market-place. Companies have to meet shipping dates that have been committed to customers, as failure to...
The substantial effort of parallel programming is only justified if the resulting
codes are adequately efficient. In this sense, all types of performance tuning are
extremely important to parallel software development. With parallel programs,
performance improvements are much more difficult to achieve than with con
ventional...
The analysis of experimental data is at heart of science from its beginnings.
But it was the advent of digital computers in the second half of the 20th
century that revolutionized scientific data analysis twofold: Tedious pencil
and paper work could be successively transferred to the emerging software
applications so sweat and tears...
Computer vision is the science and technology of making machines that see.
It is concerned with the theory, design and implementation of algorithms that
can automatically process visual data to recognize objects, track and recover
their shape and spatial layout.
The International Computer Vision Summer School - ICVSS was...
During recent years a great deal of progress has been made in performance modelling and evaluation of the Internet, towards the convergence of multi-service networks of diverging technologies, supported by internetworking and the evolution of diverse access and switching technologies. The 44 chapters presented in this handbook are revised...
Fuzzy systems and neural networks have attracted the growing interest of researchers, scientists,
engineers, practitioners, and students in various scientific and engineering areas.
Fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic are based on the way the brain deals with inexact information,
while neural networks (or artificial neural networks) are modeled...
Linear-quadratic optimization is one of the most exciting topics in the con trol engineering literature of recent decades. The interest in linear optimal dynamical systems, and especially in those with quadratic cost functional, can be explained by both the richness of properties these systems possess, and the pragmatic value and physical...
An academic dynasty has come together to write an excellent textbook on information retrieval.
Stefan Buttcher, Charles Clarke, and Gordon Cormack make up three generations of stellar
information retrieval researchers with over fifty years of combined experience. Buttcher was
Clarke's doctoral student, and Clarke was Cormack's...
This book is a textbook in basic category theory, written specifically to be read by researchers and students in computing science. We expound the constructions we feel are basic to category theory in the context of examples and applications to computing science. Some categorical ideas and constructions are already used heavily in computing...
