Semiconductor Lasers I: Fundamentals (Optics and Photonics) (Pt. 1)More than three decades have passed since lasing in semiconductors was first observed in several laboratories in 1962 (Hall et al., 1962; Holonyak, Jr. et al., 1962; Nathan et al., 1962; Quist et al., 1962). Although it was one of the first lasers to be demonstrated, the semiconductor laser had to await several important developments, both... | | | | An Introduction to Parallel Programming
Parallel hardware has been ubiquitous for some time now. It’s difficult to find a laptop,
desktop, or server that doesn’t use a multicore processor. Beowulf clusters are
nearly as common today as high-powered workstations were during the 1990s, and
cloud computing could make distributed-memory systems as accessible as... |

Ubiquitous Computing
Near Field Communication (NFC) technology has become increasingly important for ubiquitous computing. Florian Resatsch investigates the optimal strategies for developing and evaluating ubiquitous computing applications based on NFC. He draws on a variety of current theories on ubiquitous computing, human-computer interaction, and technology... | | Models and Analysis for Distributed Systems (ISTE)
Verification and hence modeling are a mandatory but intricate problem for engineers
developing embedded distributed real-time systems that are entrusted with critical
safety applications like medical care, transportation, energy production, industrial
processes, military operations. Therefore, while emerging 40 years ago, first for... | | The Photographic Image in Digital Culture (Comedia)
This new edition of The Photographic Image in Digital Culture explores the condition of photography after some 20 years of remediation and transformation by digital technology.
Through ten especially commissioned essays, by some of the leading scholars in the field of contemporary photography studies, a range of key topics... |

Cisco CookbookCisco routers are nearly ubiquitous in IP networks. They are extremely flexible and reliable devices, and the number and variety of features grows with each new release of the Internetwork Operating System (IOS). While Cisco Press and several other publishers supply excellent documentation of router features both online and... | | Everyware: The Dawning Age of Ubiquitous ComputingFrom the RFID tags now embedded in everything from soda cans to the family pet, to smart buildings that subtly adapt to the changing flow of visitors, to gestural interfaces like the ones seen in Minority Report, computing no longer looks much like it used to. Increasingly invisible but present everywhere in our lives, it has moved off the desktop... | | Adobe Acrobat 8 in the OfficeAdobe Acrobat is one of the most widely recognized tools for document management, office communications, and improved workflow, and Acrobat 8 is the most powerful version yet, introducing new tools for shared reviews, creating automated forms, license management, additional security, and many others. Now that PDF has become the ubiquitous... |
