The Art of Designing Embedded Systems, Second Edition

Newnes, 2008

For tens of thousands of years the human race used their muscles and the labor of animals to build a world that differed little from that known by all their ancestors. But in 1776 James Watt installed the fi rst of his improved steam engines in a commercial enterprise, kicking off the industrial revolution.

The 1800s were...

A Distributed Pi-Calculus

Cambridge University Press, 2007

Distributed systems are fast becoming the norm in computer science. Formal mathematical models and theories of distributed behavior are needed in order to understand them. This book proposes a distributed pi-calculus called Dpi, for describing the behavior of mobile agents in a distributed world. It is based on an existing formal language, the...

Information Warfare and Organizational Decision-Making

Artech House Publishers, 2006

Organizations are among the most valuable and yet most fragile structures of our civilization. We rely on organizations to obtain information, to comprehend and process information, to accumulate and internalize information, to make decisions based in part on that information, and to execute those decisions. Organizations are ubiquitous because...

Pro Windows PowerShell

Apress, 2008

I remember the first time I got to play with Windows PowerShell—I had some spare time on my hands, and after reading a blog post, I quickly set off to download the unofficial pre-release bits that were available at the time. I originally had very low expectations about the tool—all I wanted was a shell that is up to par with its UNIX...

Collision Detection in Interactive 3D Environments

Morgan Kaufmann, 2003

The heart of any system that simulates the physical interaction between objects is collision detectionthe ability to detect when two objects have come into contact. This system is also one of the most difficult aspects of a physical simulation to implement correctly, and invariably it is the main consumer of CPU cycles. Practitioners, new to the...
