T^his book is designed for a two-semester sequence in computer science, beginning with what is typically known as Data Structures and continuing with advanced data structures and algorithm analysis. It is appropriate for the courses from both the two-course and three-course sequences in "B.l...

When the first edition of this book was published, the idea of combining a text on digital design with one on VHDL seemed novel. At about the same time, several other books with similar themes were published. This book has now been adopted by several universities as a core text. Moreover, the first edition has now been translated into...

The data compression field has always been an important part of computer science, and it is becoming increasingly popular and important today. Although computers become faster and data storage becomes less expensive and more efficient, the in creased importance of sound and video necessitates the use of at least a small mea sure of...

In order to reduce the complexity of designing and building computers, nearly all of these are made to execute relatively simple commands (but do so very quickly). A program for a computer must be built by combining these very simple commands into a program in what is called machine language. Since this is a tedious and errorprone...

This book is designed to accompany a final year undergraduate or masters level course in pervasive computing, although it could serve well as a course for introducing sensors or experiment design to students in earlier years at university with some skimming over the research focus; or equally as a getting-started guide for PhD level...

The first edition of this textbook on software engineering was published more than twenty years ago. That edition was wJitten using a dumb terminal attached to an early minicomputer (a PDP-II) that probably cost about $50,000. I wrote this edition on a wireless laptop that cost less than $2,000 and is many times more powerful than...
