Sampling Algorithms (Springer Series in Statistics)

Springer, 2006

This book is based upon courses on sampling algorithms. After having used scattered notes for several years, I have decided to completely rewrite the material in a consistent way. The books of Brewer and Hanif (1983) and H´ajek (1981) have been my works of reference. Brewer and Hanif (1983) have drawn up an...

Understanding Circuits: Learning Problem Solving Using Circuit Analysis (Synthesis Lectures on Electrical Engineering)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2005

This book/lecture is intended for a college freshman level class in problem solving, where the particular problems deal with electrical and electronic circuits. It can also be used in a junior/senior level class in high school to teach circuit analysis. The basic problem-solving paradigm used in this book is that of resolution of a problem...

Cyber-Physical Security and Privacy in the Electric Smart Grid (Synthesis Lectures on Information Security, Privacy, and Tru)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2017

This book focuses on the combined cyber and physical security issues in advanced electric smart grids. Existing standards are compared with classical results and the security and privacy principles of current practice are illustrated. The book paints a way for future development of advanced smart grids that operated in a peer-to-peer fashion,...

Data Mining: Practical Machine Learning Tools and Techniques, Second Edition

Morgan Kaufmann, 2005

This book presents this new discipline in a very accessible form: both as a text to train the next generation of practitioners and researchers, and to inform lifelong learners like myself. Witten and Frank have a passion for simple and elegant solutions. They approach each topic with this mindset, grounding all concepts in concrete examples,...

Database Anonymization: Privacy Models, Data Utility, and Microaggregation-based Inter-model Connections

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2016

The current social and economic context increasingly demands open data to improve scientific research and decision making. However, when published data refer to individual respondents, disclosure risk limitation techniques must be implemented to anonymize the data and guarantee by design the fundamental right to privacy of the subjects the...

Introduction to Reconfigurable Supercomputing (Synthesis Lectures on Computer Architecture)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2010

This book covers technologies, applications, tools, languages, procedures, advantages, and disadvantages of reconfigurable supercomputing using Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). The target audience is the community of users of High Performance Computers (HPC) who may benefit from porting their applications into a reconfigurable...

How to Design Programs: An Introduction to Programming and Computing

MIT Press, 2001

This introduction to programming places computer science in the core of a liberal arts education. Unlike other introductory books, it focuses on the program design process. This approach fosters a variety of skills--critical reading, analytical thinking, creative synthesis, and attention to detail - that are important for everyone, not just future...

Linguistic Structure Prediction (Synthesis Lectures on Human Language Technologies)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2011

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...

High Performance Datacenter Networks: Architectures, Algorithms, & Opportunities (Synthesis Lectures on Computer Architecture)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2011

Datacenter networks provide the communication substrate for large parallel computer systems that form the ecosystem for high performance computing (HPC) systems and modern Internet applications. The design of new datacenter networks is motivated by an array of applications ranging from communication intensive climatology, complex material...

Logic Synthesis for Compositional Microprogram Control Units (Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering)

Springer, 2008

The control unit is one of the most important parts of any digital system. As a rule, control units have an irregular structure, which makes the processing of their logic circuits design very sophisticated. One possible way to optimise such characteristics as the size or performance of control units is to adapt their structures to the particular...

GPU-Based Techniques for Global Illumination Effects (Synthesis Lectures on Computer Graphics)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2008

Real-time rendering poses severe computational requirements to computers. In order to maintain a continuous looking motion for the human eye, at least 20 images need to be generated in each second. An image consists of about a million pixels, which means that for a single pixel the visible point and its color should be computed in less than 50 ns...

Artificial Intelligence in Education (Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence and Applications)

IOS Press, 2005

The 12th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED-2005) is being held July 18–22, 2005, in Amsterdam, the beautiful Dutch city near the sea. AIED-2005 is the latest in an on-going series of biennial conferences in AIED dating back to the mid-1980’s when the field emerged from a synthesis of artificial...
