Wolf and Jerraya have struck a delicate balance in the presentation of a specialized body of knowledge that is highly detailed and topic-specific, yet sufficiently wide-ranging to reflect the overall concept of an MPSOC as the next logical step in integrated complex system design. The text provides an eminently accessible and practical view of the...
Topology control is fundamental to solvingscalability and capacity problems in large-scale wireless ad hoc and sensor networks.
Forthcoming wireless multi-hop networks such as ad hoc and sensor networks will allow network nodes to control the communication topology by choosing their transmitting...
Parallel and Distributed Programming Using C++ provides an up-close look at how to build software that can take advantage of multiprocessor computers. Simple approaches for programming parallel virtual machines are presented, and the basics of cluster application development are...

For software development professionals and computer science students, Modern Operating Systems gives a solid conceptual overview of operating system design, including detailed case studies of Unix/Linux and Windows 2000.
What makes an operating system modern? According to author Andrew Tanenbaum, it is the awareness of high-demand...
Quantum computationmay seem to be a topic for science fiction, but small quantum computers have existed for several years and larger machines are on the drawing table. These efforts have been fueled by a tantalizing property: while conventional computers employ a binary representation that allows computational power to scale linearly with resources...
Maintain and troubleshoot your server installations with comprehensive technical information and tools-direct from the Windows 2000 product development team. Part of the official MICROSOFT WINDOWS 2000 SERVER RESOURCE KIT, this practical guide is now available separately for IT professionals focused on day-to-day operations. Coverage includes...
This second edition is not only a thorough update of the first edition, it is also a marriage of the best-known RISC architecture--MIPS--with the best-known open-source OS--Linux. The first part of the book begins with MIPS design principles and then describes the MIPS instruction set and programmers resources. It uses the MIPS32 standard as a...
