Welcome to the era of software reuse! Microsoft Enterprise Library helps accelerate development by providing reusable components and guidance on proven practices. If you build applications that run on the Microsoft .NET Framework, whether they are enterprise-level business applications or even relatively modest Windows® Forms,...
This significantly revised edition presents a broad introduction to Control Systems and balances new, modern methods with the more classical. It is an excellent text for use as a first course in Control Systems by undergraduate students in all branches of engineering and applied mathematics. The book contains: A comprehensive coverage of...
FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays) can be found in applications such as smart phones, mp3 players, medical imaging devices, and for aerospace and defense technology. FPGAs consist of logic blocks and programmable interconnects. This allows an engineer to start with a blank slate and program the FPGA for a specific task, for instance,...
The area of aggregation operations is one of the most promising off-springs of
fuzzy sets theory. Before Zadeh introduced fuzzy set connectives in 1965, there
was a wide gap between logic and decision sciences. On the one hand, multiplevalued
logics proposed many-valued extensions of the conjunctions and
disjunctions for which the...
A FEW YEARS AGO some students and I were looking at a map that pinpointed the
locations of about loo cities. We asked ourselves, "Which of these cities are neighbors
of each other?" We knew intuitively that some pairs of cities were neighbors and others
were not; we wanted to find a formal mathematical characterization that...
The integration of multi-million-gate configurable logic, pre-compiled heterogeneous
hardware components, and on-chip processor subsystems offer high
computation capability and exceptional design flexibility to modern reconfigurable
hardware. Moshe Gavrielov, the recently appointed president and CEO
of Xilinx, which is the largest...
Developing software with testable requirements is the theme of this book. A
testable requirement is one with an acceptance test. Acceptance tests drive the
development of the software. As many development groups have experienced,
creating acceptance tests prior to implementing requirements decreases defects
and...
This volume is the last of three volumes devoted to the work of one of the most prominent 20th century mathematicians. Throughout his mathematical work, A.N. Kolmogorov (1903-1987) showed great creativity and versatility and his wide-ranging studies in many different areas, led to the solution of conceptual and fundamental problems and the...
Object-Oriented Programming Using C++, Fourth Edition is designed for many levels of programming students
and a variety of programming teaching styles. Readers who are new to programming will find the
basics of programming logic and the C++ programming language covered thoroughly and clearly.
This volume was primarily intended to present selected papers from the workshop on Theory and Applications of Nested Relations and Complex Objects, held in Darmstadt, FRG, from April 6-8, 1987. Other papers were solicited in order to provide a picture of the field as general as possible. Research on nested relations and complex objects...
This book is intended as an introduction to the design of digital processors that are dedicated to
performing a particular task. It presents a number of general methods and also covers general
purpose architectures such as programmable processors and configurable logic. In fact, the
dedicated digital system might be based on a standard...
Computer science, like other mathematical fields, cannot live without a tight relationship
with reality. However, such a relationship is, frankly, not very common.
This is probably why people so enthusiastically welcome a true meeting of theory
and practice. In that sense, the coming together of XML and tree automata theory
was a...
