This book provides a broad survey of models and efficient algorithms for Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF). This includes NMF’s various extensions and modifications, especially Nonnegative Tensor Factorizations (NTF) and Nonnegative Tucker Decompositions (NTD). NMF/NTF and their extensions are increasingly used as tools in signal and...
The first book that covers convergence of voice, video and data networks from a vendor-neutral perspective.
*Covers the latest standards and those being developed in an ever-evolving field *Provides insight into the latest technology of video and data over wireless networks and how convergence will be a driving force in...
Let’s get to the nut of the book: web design is not
for cowards. It’s a hard field, always changing and
demanding more of you. There’s no resting on your
laurels, and there’s no cushy job that never changes
in web design. It’s all in.
Drawing on survey statistics from over 5,400 web...
Within the field of logic programming there have been numerous attempts to transform grammars into logic programs. This book describes a complementary approach that views logic programs as grammars and shows how this new presentation of the foundations of logic programming, based on the notion of proof trees, can enrich the field. ...
Have you tried using an "automated" GUI testing tool, only to find that you spent most of your time configuring, adjusting, and directing it?
This book presents a sensible and highly effective alternative: it teaches you to build and use your own truly automated tool. The procedure you'll learn is...
This monograph aims to provide an accessible and fairly comprehensive treatment of recent developments on generalised dualities for graphs on surfaces and their applications. Duality arises in many areas, particularly topological and algebraic graph theory, topology, and physics. The importance of duality derives not only from its inherent...
Configure, manage, and secure wireless networks using the step-by-step details in this practical resource. Wireless Network Administration: A Beginner's Guide shows you how to work with the latest wireless networking standards, including the 802.11x family, on Windows, Mac,...
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written on the subject, they are now either out of date or too specialized in content to fulfill the requirements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...
Although Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) is generally thought of as a research area at the intersection of machine learning and computational logic, Bergadano and Gunetti propose that most of the research in ILP has in fact come from machine learning, particularly in the evolution of inductive reasoning from pattern recognition, through...
Like it or not, JavaScript is everywhere these days—from browser to server to mobile—and now you, too, need to learn the language or dive deeper than you have. This concise book guides you into and through JavaScript, written by a veteran programmer who once found himself in the same position.
Multimedia security has become a major research topic, yielding numerous academic papers in addition to many watermarking-related companies. In this emerging area, there are many challenging research issues that deserve sustained studying towards an effective and practical system. Multimedia Security: Steganography and Digital Watermarking...
WiMAX is bringing about a worldwide revolution in broadband wireless access, including both fixed and mobile handsets. The IEEE 802.16 working group standardized most aspects of WiMAX signaling messages. However, several algorithms were left unspecified opening the door for innovations in protocol engineering for 802.16/802.20-based broadband...
