This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference Eco-friendly Computing and Communication Systems, ICECCS 2012, held in Kochi, Kerala, India, in August 2012. The 50 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 133 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on energy efficient software system and applications; wireless communication systems; green energy technologies; image and signal processing; bioinformatics and emerging technologies; secure and reliable systems; mathematical modeling and scientific computing; pervasive...

This book describes the state-of-the-art in energy efficient, fault-tolerant embedded systems. It covers the entire product lifecycle of electronic systems design, analysis and testing and includes discussion of both circuit and system-level approaches. Readers will be enabled to meet the conflicting design objectives of energy efficiency and fault-tolerance for reliability, given the up-to-date techniques presented.

This book explores a new realm in data-based modeling with applications to hydrology. Pursuing a case study approach, it presents a rigorous evaluation of state-of-the-art input selection methods on the basis of detailed and comprehensive experimentation and comparative studies that employ emerging hybrid techniques for modeling and analysis. Advanced computing offers a range of new options for hydrologic modeling with the help of mathematical and data-based approaches like wavelets, neural networks, fuzzy logic, and support vector machines. Recently machine learning/artificial intelligence...
