This book provides a comprehensive and unified view of the latest and most innovative research findings on the many existing interactions between mobile networking, wireless communications, and ubiquitous computing--Provided by publisher.

Over the last decade researchers and practitioners have developed a wide range of knowledge related to e-learning. This book provides state-of-the-art e-learning networked environments and architectures carried out over the last few years from a knowledge management perspective.

The book is organized into four parts: After an introductory chapter which attempts to characterize the e-learning environments, Part I exposes the problems of building knowledge scenarios followed by Part II which analyzes the process of building knowledge environments. Part III summarizes the principles,...

Algebraic number theory introduces students not only to new algebraic notions but also to related concepts: groups, rings, fields, ideals, quotient rings and quotient fields, homomorphisms and isomorphisms, modules, and vector spaces. Author Pierre Samuel notes that students benefit from their studies of algebraic number theory by encountering many concepts fundamental to other branches of mathematics -- algebraic geometry, in particular.
This book assumes a knowledge of basic algebra but supplements its teachings with brief, clear explanations of integrality, algebraic extensions of...

Le transport routier est un vecteur du dA(c)veloppement socio-A(c)conomique. Mais la rA(c)alisation et l'exploitation des infrastructures du transport routier ont des impacts nA(c)gatifs considA(c)rables sur l'environnement. DA]s lors il est question de savoir si le transport routier peut Aatre compatible avec la prA(c)servation de l'environnement. Infrastructures de transport-routier et environnement au Cameroun tente de concilier les avantages socio-A(c)conomiques attendus d'un projet routier et les prA(c)occupations environnementales. L'objectif visA(c) est d'internaliser les...

Democracy Past and Future is the first English-language collection of Pierre Rosanvallon's most important essays on the historical origins, contemporary difficulties, and future prospects of democratic life.

One of Europe's leading political thinkers, Rosanvallon proposes in these essays new readings of the history, aims, and possibilities of democratic theory and practice, and provides unique theoretical understandings of key moments in democracy's trajectory, from the French Revolution and the struggles for universal suffrage to European unification and the crises of the present....

An authoritative collection of research papers and surveys, Emerging Wireless Networks: Concepts, Techniques, and Applications explores recent developments in next-generation wireless networks (NGWNs) and mobile broadband networks technologies, including 4G (LTE, WiMAX), 3G (UMTS, HSPA), WiFi, mobile ad hoc networks, mesh networks, and wireless sensor networks. Focusing on improving the performance of wireless networks and provisioning better quality of service and quality of experience for users, it reports on the standards of different emerging wireless networks, applications, and service...

This second volume of our treatise on commutative algebra deals largely with three basic topics, which go beyond the more or less classical material of volume I and are on the whole of a more advanced nature and a more recent vintage. These topics are: (a) valuation theory; (b) theory of polynomial and power series rings (including generalizations to graded rings and modules); (c) local algebra. Because most of these topics have either their source or their best motivation in algebraic geom- etry, the algebro-geometric connections and applications of the purely algebraic material are...

The purpose of this book is to revive some of the beautiful results obtained by various geometers of the 19th century, and to give its readers a taste of concrete algebraic geometry. A good deal of space is devoted to cross-ratios, conics, quadrics, and various interesting curves and surfaces. The fundamentals of projective geometry are efficiently dealt with by using a modest amount of linear algebra. An axiomatic characterization of projective planes is also given. While the topology of projective spaces over real and complex fields is described, and while the geometry of the complex...

Covers topics such as valuation theory; theory of polynomial and power series rings; and local algebra. This volume includes the algebro-geometric connections and applications of the purely algebraic material.

From the Preface: "We have preferred to write a self-contained book which could be used in a basic graduate course of modern algebra. It is also with an eye to the student that we have tried to give full and detailed explanations in the proofs... We have also tried, this time with an eye to both the student and the mature mathematician, to give a many-sided treatment of our topics, not hesitating to offer several proofs of one and the same result when we thought that something might be learned, as to methods, from each of the proofs."

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Conference on Ad-Hoc Networks and Wireless, ADHOC-NOW 2003, held in Montreal, Canada in October 2003.The 23 revised full papers and 4 revised short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 42 submissions. All current aspects of ad-hoc networking, mobile, wireless, and cooperating communication systems are addressed including network architectures, access control and discovery, multicasting protocols, performance, quality of service, QoS, routing protocols, scalability, security, and...
