Visual Interfaces to Digital Libraries exploit the power of human vision and spatial cognition to help individuals mentally organize and electronically access and manage large and complex information spaces. They draw on progress in the field of information visualization and seek to shift the users' mental load from slow reading to faster perceptual processes such as visual pattern recognition.
Based on two workshops, the book presents an introductory overview as well as a closing listing of the top ten problems in the area by the volume editors. Also included are 16 thoroughly reviewed...

Designed for researchers, engineers, IT professionals, and graduate students in parallel and cloud computing, this volume covers the state of the art in cloud computing theory and practice. It spans the background, concepts, services, and middleware of cloud computing. A range of scientific researchers and professors in cloud computing, grid computing, high performance computing, and Internet computing discuss enabling techniques, system implementation, service functionalities, and various applications. Numerous case studies are included throughout the text.

This is probably the first book that employs the technique of simulation experiments as a means of reinforcing the basic concepts of communication theory. Undergraduate students are generally exposed to a mathematically rigorous treatment of communications theory but seldom have the benefit of a practical-orientated approach employing modelling and simulation for a thorough assimilation of the subject. This book can supplement any standard textbook to cover this significant lacuna in the existing learning methodology. It uses MATLAB^(r), the language of the technical computing...

The book provides a comprehensive overview for the latest WBAN systems, technologies, and applications. The chapters of the book have been written by various specialists who are experts in their areas of research and practice. The book starts with the basic techniques involved in designing and building WBAN systems. It explains the deployment issues and then moves into the application areas of WBAN. The remaining chapters focus on the development of hardware, signal processing algorithms, and wireless communication and network design for wearable and implantable body sensors used in WBAN...

With updates and enhancements to the incredibly successful first edition, Probability and Random Processes for Electrical and Computer Engineers, Second Edition retains the best aspects of the original but offers an even more potent introduction to probability and random variables and processes. Written in a clear, concise style that illustrates the subject s relevance to a wide range of areas in engineering and physical and computer sciences, this text is organized into two parts. The first focuses on the probability model, random variables and transformations, and inequalities and limit...

Durch das Business-Impact-Management - die geschaftsprozessorientierte Planung, Steuerung und Kontrolle der IT - soll fur die Unternehmensleitung die Moglichkeit geschaffen werden, auf einen Blick Probleme in der IT zu erkennen und insbesondere deren monetare Auswirkungen zu bewerten.

Oliver Hausler stellt unterschiedliche Inhalte, Funktionen und Ziele sowie den aktu-ellen Stand des Business-Impact-Managements vor. Dabei ist das primare Ziel die idealtypische Konstruktion eines Business-Impact-Management-Systems, das die Abbildung der Geschaftsprozesse auf ein Systems-Management...

Automotive Inter-networking will introduce a range of new network and system technologies for vehicle safety, entertainment and comfort systems currently being researched and developed. C2X networking is not only a matter of technology, but is also very closely related to policy-making about deployment. This book will provide the background on technical developments but will also discuss the potential benefits, costs and risks. Also discussed will be concepts related to application of vehicle-to-vehicle and...

Dramatic increases in processing power have rapidly scaled on-chip aggregate bandwidths into the Tb/s range. This necessitates a corresponding increase in the amount of data communicated between chips, so as not to limit overall system performance. To meet the increasing demand for interchip communication bandwidth, researchers are investigating the use of high-speed optical interconnect architectures. Unlike their electrical counterparts, optical interconnects offer high bandwidth and negligible frequency-dependent loss, making possible per-channel data rates of more than 10 Gb/s....
