Bioinformatics: An Introduction (Computational Biology)

Springer, 2009

Bioinformatics is interpreted as the application of information science to biology, in which it plays a fundamental and all-pervasive role. The field continues to develop intensively in both academia and commercially, and is highly interdisciplinary. This broad-ranging and thoroughly updated second edition covers new findings while retaining the...

Cryptography: A Very Short Introduction

Oxford University Press, 2002

We are surrounded by cryptography, from the ATM, where we withdraw cash, mobile phones, and the Internet, to workplace security systems that protect business secrets, and the civil and military codes that protect the skies above us.

In this fascinating introduction to how cryptography actually works, Fred Piper and Sean Murphy highlight...

Algorithms and Protocols for Wireless, Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (Wiley Series on Parallel and Distributed Computing)

John Wiley & Sons, 2008

Learn the fundamental algorithms and protocols for wireless and mobile ad hoc networks

Advances in wireless networking and mobile communication technologies, coupled with the proliferation of portable computers, have led to development efforts for wireless and mobile ad hoc networks. This book focuses on several aspects of wireless ad hoc...

Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering: 14th International Conference, FASE 2011

Springer, 2011

FASE (Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering) is concerned with the foundations on which software engineering is built. Its focus is on novel techniques and the way in which they contribute to making software engineering a more mature and soundly based discipline. This year, we particularly encouraged contributions that combine the...

Cognitive Networks: Towards Self-Aware Networks

John Wiley & Sons, 2007

Cognitive networks can dynamically adapt their operational parameters in response to user needs or changing environmental conditions. They can learn from these adaptations and exploit knowledge to make future decisions.

Cognitive networks are the future, and they are needed simply because they enable users to focus on things other...

Replicated Data Management for Mobile Computing (Synthesis Lectures on Mobile and Pervasive Computing)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2008

Mobility has become increasingly important for both business and casual users of computing technology. With the widespread adoption of portable computing devices, such as laptops, PDAs, tablet computers, music players, and cell phones, people can have almost constant access to their personal data as well as to information that is shared with...

Interconnecting Smart Objects with IP: The Next Internet

Morgan Kaufmann, 2010

Smart object technology, sometimes called the Internet of Things, is having a profound impact on our day-to-day lives. Interconnecting Smart Objects with IP is the first book that takes a holistic approach to the revolutionary area of IP-based smart objects. Smart objects are the intersection of networked embedded systems, wireless...

Fundamentals of Predictive Text Mining (Texts in Computer Science)

Springer, 2010

Five years ago, we authored “Text Mining: Predictive Methods for Analyzing Unstructured Information.” That book was geared mostly to professional practitioners, but was adaptable to course work with some effort by the instructor. Many topics were evolving, and this was one of the earliest efforts to collect material for predictive...

Algorithms and Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks (Wiley Series on Parallel and Distributed Computing)

John Wiley & Sons, 2008

Boukerche is well-known and established international researcher in the field of wireless mobile networks and distributed systems.

Grid Enabled Remote Instrumentation (Signals and Communication Technology)

Springer, 2008

Grid architectures, which are viewed as tools for the integration of distributed resources, play a significant role as both managers of computational resources but also as aggregators of measurement instrumentation and pervasive large-scale data acquisition platforms. The functionality of a grid architecture allows managing, maintaining, and...

Adaptive Control Approach for Software Quality Improvement (Series on Software Engineering & Knowledge Engineering)

World Scientific Publishing, 2011

The expansion of our reliance on software in many aspects of modern society has coincided with a number of incidents in aeronautics, astronautics, transportation, medical devices, energy generation, banking and finance. Failures caused by software have introduced more than just inconvenience, but significant property damage,...
