The Lanczos and Conjugate Gradient Algorithms: From Theory to Finite Precision Computations

SIAM, 2006

"No present book comes near this one in the range and depth of treatment of these two extremely important methods—the Lanczos algorithm and the method of conjugate gradients." Chris Paige, School of Computer Science, McGill University. The Lanczos and conjugate gradient (CG) algorithms are fascinating numerical...

Explorations in Information Space: Knowledge, Actor, and Firms

Oxford University Press, 2008

As humankind seeks to extend its spatiotemporal reach both on and beyond its planet, it is constantly being forced by a recalcitrant nature to renegotiate the terms of its covenant with her. In some cases, the bargaining gets tough and nature takes offence, gradually revealing her anger with the terms that humanity seeks to impose on her through...

Mathematical Principles of Optical Fiber Communication (CBMS-NSF Regional Conference Series in Applied Mathematics)

SIAM, 2004

With the maturing of mobile portable telephony and the emerging broadband access market, greater fiber transmission capacity will be essential in the early 21st century. Since the demand for more capacity drives the development of new optics-based technologies, fiber optics therefore remains a vibrant area for research. Mathematical Principles of...

Strategies for Information Technology and Intellectual Capital

Information Science Publishing, 2007

"Due to the increasing importance of the intangible assets of a company, firms are now concerned with how best to manage and measure knowledge and other intangibles. In addition to this, information technology has drastically changed the way these measurements are managed. Strategies for Information Technology and Intellectual Capital:...

Visual Data Mining: Theory, Techniques and Tools for Visual Analytics (Lecture Notes in Computer Science)

Springer, 2008

The importance of visual data mining, as a strong sub-discipline of data mining, had already been recognized in the beginning of the decade. In 2005 a panel of renowned individuals met to address the shortcomings and drawbacks of the current state of visual information processing. The need for a systematic and methodological development of visual...

Transactions on Data Hiding and Multimedia Security II (Lecture Notes in Computer Science)

Springer, 2007

Since the mid 1990s, data hiding has been proposed as an enabling technology for securing multimedia communication, and is now used in various applications including broadcast monitoring, movie fingerprinting, steganography, video indexing and retrieval, and image authentication. Data hiding and cryptographic techniques are often combined to...

Reconfigurable Computing: The Theory and Practice of FPGA-Based Computation (Systems on Silicon)

Morgan Kaufmann, 2007

In the two decades since field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) were introduced, they have radically changed the way digital logic is designed and deployed. By marrying the high performance of application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and the flexibility of microprocessors, FPGAs have made possible entirely new types of applications....
