Effective Prototyping with Excel: A practical handbook for developers and designers (Interactive Technologies)

Morgan Kaufmann, 2009

Although recognized as a key to the design process, prototyping often falls victim to budget cuts, deadlines, or lack of access to sophisticated tools. This can lead to sloppy and ineffective prototypes or the abandonment of them altogether. Rather than lose this important step, people are turning to Microsoft Excel® to create effective,...

Nonimaging Optics in Solar Energy (Synthesis Lectures on Energy and the Environment: Technology, Science, and Society)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2008

Nonimaging optics is a subdiscipline of optics whose development over the last 35–40 years was led by scientists from the University of Chicago and other cooperating individuals and institutions. The approach provides a formalism that allows the design of optical devices that approach the maximum physically attainable geometric concentration...

Hitting the Wall: A Vision of a Secure Energy Future (Synthesis Lectures on Energy and the Environment: Technology, Science, and Society)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2008

Hitting the Wall examines the combination of two intractable energy problems of our age: the peaking of global oil production and the overloading of the atmosphere with greenhouse gases. Both emerge from the overconsumption of fossil fuels and solving one problem helps solve the other. The misinformation campaign about climate change is discussed...

Narrowband Direction of Arrival Estimation for Antenna Arrays (Synthesis Lectures on Antennas)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2008

This book provides an introduction to narrowband array signal processing, classical and subspace-based direction of arrival (DOA) estimation with an extensive discussion on adaptive direction of arrival algorithms. The book begins with a presentation of the basic theory, equations, and data models of narrowband arrays. It then discusses basic...

Engineering and Social Justice (Synthesis Lectures on Engineers, Technology and Society)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2008

In recent years, some leaders in the engineering community in the United States and other countries have been seeking to cast engineering as a profession in service to humanity. This characterization is often propelled by “the problem” of an overall dearth of students entering engineering and a specific concern about underrepresentation...

Technical, Commercial and Regulatory Challenges of QoS: An Internet Service Model Perspective

Morgan Kaufmann, 2008

"I like the author's table of contents a lot. It flows very well. The way the author presents (what we have today, what is the problem. and what is the solution) gives a comprehensive treatment of the subject.... I would think there is a market for such a book." -- Zheng Wang, Principal Scientist, Broadcom (and author of 2001 MK book,...

Web Application Design Patterns (Interactive Technologies)

Morgan Kaufmann, 2009

Increasingly, software applications are built using web technologies and made accessible via web browsers (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, and Opera). They are commonly referred to as web applications, or hosted applications—applications based on a software as a service (SaaS) model1 or cloud computing

Morgan Kaufmann, 2007

The first book to comprehensively cover the intricacies of optimizing the behavior of modern memory systems using a holistic design approach.

Is your memory hierarchy stopping your microprocessor from performing at the high level it should be? Memory Systems: Cache, DRAM, Disk shows you how to resolve this problem. ...

Real-Time Cameras

Morgan Kaufmann, 2009

The first book on this core game development topic by an experienced developer

The control of cameras is as important in games as it is in cinema. How the camera tracks and moves determines our point of view and influences our attitude towards the content. A poorly designed camera system in a game can disrupt a users...

Statistical Language Models for Information Retrieval (Synthesis Lectures on Human Language Technologies)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2008

As online information grows dramatically, search engines such as Google are playing a more and more important role in our lives. Critical to all search engines is the problem of designing an effective retrieval model that can rank documents accurately for a given query. This has been a central research problem in information retrieval for several...

Virtual Crowds: Methods, Simulation, and Control (Synthesis Lectures on Computer Graphics and Animation)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2008

There are many applications of computer animation and simulation where it is necessary to model virtual crowds of autonomous agents. Some of these applications include site planning, education, entertainment, training, and human factors analysis for building evacuation. Other applications include simulations of scenarios where masses of people...
