The papers included in this volume were presented at the Symposium on Advances in the Continuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Material Behavior, held as part of the 1999 Joint ASME Applied Mechanics and Materials Summer Conference at Virginia Tech on June 27-30, 1999. The Symposium was held in honor of Professor Roger L. Fosdick on his 60th birthday.
The papers are written by prominent researchers in the fields of mechanics, thermodynamics, materials modeling, and applied mathematics. They address open questions and present the latest development in these and related areas. This...

This book investigates compressive sensing techniques to provide a robust and general framework for network data analytics. The goal is to introduce a compressive sensing framework for missing data interpolation, anomaly detection, data segmentation and activity recognition, and to demonstrate its benefits. Chapter 1 introduces compressive sensing, including its definition, limitation, and how it supports different network analysis applications. Chapter 2 demonstrates the feasibility of compressive sensing in network analytics, the authors we apply it to detect anomalies in the customer care...
