Dr Donald Bailey starts with introductory material considering the problem of embedded image processing, and how some of the issues may be solved using parallel hardware solutions. Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are introduced as a technology that provides flexible, fine-grained hardware that can readily exploit parallelism within...

In today’s converged networking environment, cyber crime is on the rise and getting more sophisticated every day. Malicious hackers lurk in dark corners, scanning for vulnerable systems and launching debilitating attacks. Intrusion Detection & Prevention shows you, step-by-step, how to mount a comprehensive defense,...

The search for electronic materials that can be cheaply solution-processed into films, while simultaneously providing quality device characteristics, represents a major challenge for materials scientists. Continuous semiconducting thin films with large carrier mobilities are...

This book is designed to accompany a final year undergraduate or masters level course in pervasive computing, although it could serve well as a course for introducing sensors or experiment design to students in earlier years at university with some skimming over the research focus; or equally as a getting-started guide for PhD level...
