Designing Embedded Hardware

O'Reilly, 2002

This is a book about designing computer hardware and specifically about designing small machines for embedded applications. It is intentionally hardware specific. There are plenty of books out there on writing code for embedded systems (such as Michael Barr's excellent Programming Embedded Systems in C and C++, another...

Getting Started with CouchDB

O'Reilly, 2012

When I was about nine years old, I had an Acorn Electron, a home computer developed by Acorn Machines and one of the major precursors to modern home computing. It was tiny by today’s standards, having just 32K of RAM, a 2MHz CPU, and with the staggering ability to store a massive 360 Kb on the 3 inch Amstrad disks I was using...

Computational and Data Grids: Principles, Applications and Design

IGI Global, 2011

After a lot of development efforts, computer science led us undoubtedly to technological revolutions which have been characterized by the creation of the Internet that influences the future of this science. The next revolutionary step occurred by the necessity of the creation of a new computer network, when researchers realized...

Think Complexity: Complexity Science and Computational Modeling

O'Reilly, 2012

This book is inspired by boredom and fascination: boredom with the usual presentation of data structures and algorithms, and fascination with complex systems. The problem with data structures is that they are often taught without a motivating context; the problem with complexity science is that it is usually not taught at...

Machine Learning in Action

Manning Publications, 2012

After college I went to work for Intel in California and mainland China. Originally my plan was to go back to grad school after two years, but time flies when you are having fun, and two years turned into six. I realized I had to go back at that point, and I didn’t want to do night school or online learning, I wanted to sit on...

Geeks and Geezers

Harvard Business School, 2002

We were drawn to thinking and then ultimately writing about geeks and geezers from very different starting points. Coauthoring a book isn’t quite like synchronized swimming. It’s more like gaining perspective and depth through incongruity. Through writing and arguing in what seemed like endless and percussive...

The Mathematics of Gambling

Lyle Stuart, 1985

Casino card games such as baccarat and blackjack differ significantly from casino games such as craps, roulette, and slot machines in that they are not indepen- dent trial processes-that is, the cards that already have been played do affect the odds on subsequent hands. Consider for a moment the game of blackjack, where the cards...

Computer Vision: Detection, Recognition and Reconstruction (Studies in Computational Intelligence)

Springer, 2010

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...

Graphical Models for Machine Learning and Digital Communication (Adaptive Computation and Machine Learning)

A Bradford Book, 1998

A variety of problems m machine learning and digital communication deal with complex but structured natural or artificial systems. Natural patterns mat we wish to automatically classify' are a consequence of a hierarchical causal physical process. Learning about the world m which we live requires mat we extract useful sensor)'...

Recent Trends and Developments in Social Software: International Conferences on Social Software

Springer, 2010

From its beginnings, the Internet has fostered communication, collaboration and networking between users. However, the first boom at the turn of the millennium was mainly driven by a rather one-sided interaction: e-commerce, portal sites and the broadcast models of mainstream media were introduced to theWeb. Over the last six or seven...

Linear Programming: An Introduction with Applications

Academic Press, 1993

This book is aimed at freshman, sophomores, and juniors in college who are even remotely interested in some of the current applications of mathematics to the real world. The difficulty with most of the other linear programming books on the market is that they are high end books, written primarily in a fairly rigorous fashion...

Theoretical Computer Sciences: Lectures given at a Summer School of the Centro Internazionale Matematico Estivo

Springer, 2011

R.E. Miller: Parallel program schemata.- D.E. Muller: Theory of automata.- R. Karp: Computational complexity of combinatorial and graph-theoretic problems.

In this lecture we discuss a type of computer organization which is based upon the concept of operation sequencing being controlled by operand availability. Such sequencing...
