Ambient Intelligence: A Novel ParadigmIf the space around us could adapt to our needs and intentions, then our lives
would be much simpler. We would have to spend less time on our daily chores,
we would be more productive and, hopefully, we would live in a less worrisome
and, most likely, more secure world.
Ideally, it would be great if we could live our lives... | | Quantum Computing and Communications: An Engineering ApproachQuantum computers will revolutionize the way telecommunications networks function.
Quantum computing holds the promise of solving problems that would be intractable with conventional computers, by implementing principles from quantum physics in the development of computer hardware, software and communications equipment.... | | Principles of Model CheckingOur growing dependence on increasingly complex computer and software systems necessitates the development of formalisms, techniques, and tools for assessing functional properties of these systems. One such technique that has emerged in the last twenty years is model checking, which systematically (and automatically) checks whether a model of a... |

The fourth edition of the International Conference on Geospatial Semantics
(GeoS 2011) was held in Brest, France, during May 12–13, 2011.
Geospatial semantics (GEOS) is an emerging research area in the domain of
geographic information science. It aims at exploring strategies, computational
methods, and tools to support... | | Introduction to Biometrics
A number of crucial societal applications like international border crossing, electronic
commerce, and welfare disbursement require reliable person recognition systems.
Traditional person authentication methods based on passwords and identity
documents often fail to meet the stringent security and performance demands of
these... |
