Engineering and Social Justice (Synthesis Lectures on Engineers, Technology and Society)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2008

In recent years, some leaders in the engineering community in the United States and other countries have been seeking to cast engineering as a profession in service to humanity. This characterization is often propelled by “the problem” of an overall dearth of students entering engineering and a specific concern about underrepresentation...

Security Engineering for Service-Oriented Architectures

Springer, 2008

While their basic principles and ideas are well understood and cogent from a conceptual perspective, the realization of interorganizational workflows and applications based on service-oriented architectures (SOAs) remains a complex task, and, especially when it comes to security, the implementation is still bound to low-level technical knowledge...

Handbook of Ring-Opening Polymerization

John Wiley & Sons, 2009

(Co)polymers obtained by ring-opening polymerization comprise a large portion of the engineering plastics industry and are used for preparation of many specialty materials, such as nylon 6 and propylene oxide.

Written by internationally acclaimed experts in their respective fields, this comprehensive, one-stop reference discusses...

Statistical Language Models for Information Retrieval (Synthesis Lectures on Human Language Technologies)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2008

As online information grows dramatically, search engines such as Google are playing a more and more important role in our lives. Critical to all search engines is the problem of designing an effective retrieval model that can rank documents accurately for a given query. This has been a central research problem in information retrieval for several...

Virtual Crowds: Methods, Simulation, and Control (Synthesis Lectures on Computer Graphics and Animation)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2008

There are many applications of computer animation and simulation where it is necessary to model virtual crowds of autonomous agents. Some of these applications include site planning, education, entertainment, training, and human factors analysis for building evacuation. Other applications include simulations of scenarios where masses of people...
