This book originates from the desire to perpetuate expertise in the field of
performance evaluation, particularly for telecommunication systems and
networks. It is obviously impossible to translate into a single work all the
facets of an activity which encompasses many systems and a great variety of
domains such as standardization,...
Linear Programming deals with the problem of minimizing or maximizing a
linear function in the presence of linear inequalities. Since the development of
the simplex method by George B. Dantzig in 1947, linear programming has been
extensively used in the military, industrial, governmental, and urban planning
fields, among others. The...
Elements of Artificial Neural Networks provides a clearly organized general introduction, focusing on a broad range of algorithms, for students and others who want to use neural networks rather than simply study them.The authors, who have been developing and team teaching the material in a one-semester course over the past six years, describe...
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...
This book is all about wrangling a herd of network computers so that all
display the correct time. This may seem like a really narrow business,
but the issues go far beyond winding the clock on your display taskbar.
Carefully coordinated, reliable, and accurate time is vital for traffic control
in the air and on the ground, buying and...
"Professor Andreas F. Molisch, renowned researcher and educator, has put together the comprehensive book, Wireless Communications. The second edition, which includes a wealth of new material on important topics, ensures the role of the text as the key resource for every student, researcher, and practitioner in the...
Using a range of very different examples, this beginner's guide will take you through the
most important aspects of GNU Octave. The book starts by introducing how you work with
mathematical objects like vectors and matrices, demonstrating how to perform simple
arithmetic operations on these objects and explaining how to use some of...
The purpose of this book is to provide up-to-date progress both in Multiple Criteria
Programming (MCP) and Support Vector Machines (SVMs) that have become powerful
tools in the field of data mining. Most of the content in this book are directly
from the research and application activities that our research group has conducted
over the...
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...

language developed by the Microsoft Corporation as part of the
.NET Framework and Visual Studio platform. Th e .NET Framework
contains a wealth of libraries for developing applications for the
Windows family...
This book is an introduction to modern ideas in cryptology and how to employ
these ideas. It includes the relevant material on number theory, probability, and
abstract algebra, in addition to descriptions of ideas about algorithms and com
plexity theory. Three somewhat different terms appear in the discussion of secure
communications...
