Algorithms and Complexity. Handbook of Theoretical Computer Science, Vol. A

Elsevier Limited, 1990

Modern developments in computer and software systems have raised many challeng ing issues concerning the design and efficiency of complex programming applica tions. There is an increasing need for "advanced theory", to understand and exploit basic concepts and mechanisms in computing and information processing. The...

Understanding Computational Bayesian Statistics (Wiley Series in Computational Statistics)

John Wiley & Sons, 2009

In theory, Bayesian statistics is very simple. The posterior is proportional to the prior times likelihood. This gives the shape of the posterior, but it is not a density so it cannot be used for inference. The exact scale factor needed to make this a density can be found only in a few special cases. For other cases, the scale...

Beginning iOS 5 Application Development

Wrox Press, 2012

APPLE FIRST OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED the iOS 5 at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June 2011. After 7 betas and with much anticipation, Apple finally rolled out iOS 5 with the vastly improved iPhone 4S.

LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT: Mars Base Command (Technology in Action)

Apress, 2011

Congratulations! You’re on Mars Base Alpha, the first human outpost on the red planet. Don’t relax, though. It’s not all roses and unicorns up here. Mars isn’t called "The Bringer of War" for nothing! You’ve just been rained on by a meteor shower and it’s up to you—you!—to put your...

Pro HTML5 Programming (Professional Apress)

Apress, 2011

This book is about HTML5 Programming. Before you can understand HTML5 programming, however, you need to take a step back and understand what HTML5 is, a bit of the history behind it, and the differences between HTML 4 and HTML5.

In this chapter, we get right to the practical questions to which everyone wants answers. Why...

Oracle Database Performance and Scalability: A Quantitative Approach

John Wiley & Sons, 2011

This book stemmed from the author’s other book—Software Performance and Scalability: a Quantitative Approach, published by Wiley in 2009. That book helps

readers grasp the basic concepts, principles, methodologies, best practices, queueing theories, and profiling tools associated with optimizing software performance and...

Fundamentals of Speaker Recognition

Springer, 2011

When I was being interviewed at the handwriting recognition group of IBM T.J. Watson Research Center in December of 1990, one of the interviewers asked me why, being a mechanical engineer, I was applying for a position in that group. Well, he was an electrical engineer and somehow was under the impression that handwriting...

Oracle Core: Essential Internals for DBAs and Developers

Apress, 2011

When I wrote Practical Oracle 8i, there was a three-week lag between publication and the first e-mail asking me when I was going to produce a 9i version of the book—thanks to Larry Ellison’s timing of the

launch of 9i. That question has been repeated many times (with changes in version number) over the last 12...

Software and Systems Traceability

Springer, 2012

Software engineering is a pessimistic discipline. The glass is always half empty rather than half full. Not surprising really, we are hardened to the grind of improving quality, painstakingly testing and, never quite, eliminating bugs. Critical review is of the essence. We know there is “no silver bullet”.

packetC Programming

Apress, 2011

This book covers a vast array of information related to packetC. It is a complete language reference and contains background information on many unique parts of packetC. As packetC shares much of its grammar with C, the book focuses on being an instructional language reference and not a general C programming introduction, since extensive...

Introduction to Video and Image Processing: Building Real Systems and Applications

Springer, 2012

One of the first times I ever encountered video and image processing was in a semester project at my fourth year of studying. The aim of the project was to design a system that automatically located the center and size of mushrooms in an image. Given this information a robot should pick the mushrooms. I was intrigued by the...

Digital Filters: Principles and Applications with MATLAB (IEEE Series on Digital & Mobile Communication)

John Wiley & Sons, 2011

The history of digital filters essentially began in the mid - 1970s, concurrent with the advent of the fi eld of study called digital signal processing (DSP). Over the ensuing 30 something years, digital filters have become both a facilitating and enabling technology. They serve as analog replacements as well as serving in unique...
