Techniques of vision-based motion analysis aim to detect, track, identify, and generally understand the behavior of objects in image sequences. With the growth of video data in a wide range of applications from visual surveillance to human-machine interfaces, the ability to automatically analyze and understand object motions from video...
This book provides a foundation in digital design for students in computer engineering, electrical engineering and computer science courses. It deals with digital design as an activity in a larger systems design context. Instead of focusing on gate-level design and aspects of digital design that have diminishing relevance in a real-world...
In Robert Ludlum's ground-breaking career, no other character so captured and held the world's imagination as Jason Bourne. He appeared in three of Robert Ludlum's own #1 bestselling novels - The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy, and The Bourne Ultimatum - and they remain amongst Ludlum's most-read...
Iron is of fundamental importance to the growth, development and well-being of almost all living organisms. Multiple biological systems have evolved for the uptake, utilisation, storage, and homeostasis of iron in microbes, plants and mammals. Both iron deficiency and iron overload are found extensively in humans; the intimate links between...
Microsoft has recently changed its certification program to contain three primary series: Technology, Professional, and Architect. The Technology Series of certifications is intended to allow candidates to target specific technologies and is the basis for obtaining the Professional Series and Architect Series of certifications. The...
An accessible and practical tool for effective antenna design
Due to the rapid development of wireless communications, the modeling of radiation and scattering is becoming more important in the design of antennas. Consequently, it is increasingly important for antenna designers and students of antenna design to have a comprehensive...
I believe that global warming is the biggest issue facing humanity today – it represents a far greater threat than terrorism, fundamentalism, or nuclear war. I am not alone in this belief. Scientists and many policymakers agree that the global population must reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 60 per cent...
In the time since the 1986 edition of this book, the world of compiler design
has changed significantly. Programming languages have evolved to present new
compilation problems. Computer architectures offer a variety of resources of
which the compiler designer must take advantage. Perhaps most interestingly,
the venerable technology of...
Faced with the steadily increasing complexity and rapidly shortening timeto-
market requirements designing electronic systems is a very challenging task.
To manage this situation effectively the level of abstraction in modeling has
been raised during the past years in the computer aided design community.
Meanwhile, for the so-called...
We are very pleased to present this fifth edition of Project Management for Information Systems. As with its predecessors, our ‘target audience’ fall into four groups:
IS project managers and systems developers who find themselves responsible for managing systems projects. Newcomers to this activity will find...

Location-based services (LBS) are nally coming out of research labs and getting
into the hands of nal users. It is fairly common to see cellular carriers
and private companies o ering LBS to locate your children, friends, and sites
of interest, track assets, enhance the security of key personnel, help people
with disabilities use...
