 | | Engineering Analysis of Smart Material Systems
The field of smart materials has grown considerably in the past ten to fifteen years
as topics have transitioned from basic research to commercial applications. In the
beginning stages of my career it was still rather exotic for a device or structure to
be called “smart.” It was the early 1990s, and while the... | | Real-Time Embedded Systems: Optimization, Synthesis, and Networking
Embedded systems are electronic systems that include a microprocessor to
perform certain specific tasks. The microprocessor is embedded or hidden inside
these products. Embedded systems are ubiquitous. Every week millions
of tiny chips come out of factories like Freescale, Microchip, Philips, Texas
Instruments, and Mitsubishi,... |

| | Inside Cyber Warfare: Mapping the Cyber Underworld
I was recently invited to participate in a cyber security dinner discussion by a few
members of a well-known Washington, DC, think tank. The idea was that we could
enjoy a fine wine and a delicious meal while allowing our hosts to pick our brains about
this “cyber warfare stuff.” It seems that the new ... | | Encyclopedia of Parallel Computing
Parallelism, the capability of a computer to execute operations concurrently, has been a constant throughout the
history of computing. It impacts hardware, software, theory, and applications. The fastest machines of the past few
decades, the supercomputers, owe their performance advantage to parallelism. Today, physical limitations... |

Nanotechnology is almost a household word now-a-days, or at least some word with
‘‘nano’’ in it, such as nanoscale, nanoparticle, nanophase, nanocrystal, or nanomachine.
This field now enjoys worldwide attention and a National Nanotechnology
Initiative (NNI) is about to be launched.
This... | | Electric Power Research Trends
The world is becoming increasingly electrified. For the foreseeable future, coal will
continue to be the dominant fuel used for electric power production. The low cost and
abundance of coal is one of the primary reasons for this. Electric power transmission, a
process in the delivery of electricity to consumers, is the bulk... |
