This book provides an overview of steganography and digital watermarking, two areas of research which are generally referred to as "information hiding." Steganography studies ways to make communication invisible by hiding secrets in innocuous messages, whereas watermarking originated from the need for copyright protection of...

The recent remarkable developments of interior point algorithms began in 1984 with Karmarkar's polynomial-time interior point algorithm for linear programs using a log- arithmic potential function and a projective transformation. The progress has been made so rapidly and extensively that it seems difficult to get a comprehensive...

In 1983 I left the International Institute for Aerospace Survey and Earth Sciences (ITC) and went to Wageningen Agricultural University, where I took the chair of “Land Surveying and Teledetection”. Up to that time I had been active mainly in geodesy and photogrammetry, but at Wageningen it soon became...

A major part of natural language processing now depends on the use of text data to build linguistic analyzers. We consider statistical, computational approaches to modeling linguistic structure. We seek to unify across many approaches and many kinds of linguistic structures. Assuming a basic understanding of natural language processing and/or...

During my experience of teaching aircraft structures, I have felt the need for a textbook written specifically for students of aeronautical engineering. Although there have been a number of excellent books written on the subject, they are now either out of date or too specialized in content to fulfill the requirements of an...
