Embedded systems are everywhere in contemporary life and are supposed to make our lives more comfortable. In industry, embedded systems are used to manage and control complex systems (e.g. nuclear power plants, telecommunications and flight control) and they are also taking an important place in our daily activities (e.g. smartphones, security alarms and traffic lights).
In the design of embedded systems, memory allocation and data assignment are among the main challenges that electronic designers have to face. In fact, they impact heavily on the main cost metrics (power consumption,...

Die zentrale Zielsetzung des Buches besteht darin zu zeigen, da die Fundamente der Lexikologie und Wortbildungstheorie sinnvoll durch kognitiv-linguistische Prinzipien bereichert werden konnen. Dazu wird der allgemeinsprachliche englische Computerwortschatz untersucht. Grundlage bildet ein aus Worterbuch- und Internetquellen zusammengestelltes Korpus von uber 700 Lexemen. Dieser lexikalisch hochproduktive Bereich erweist sich als besonders geeignet, um die theoretisch ausgearbeiteten kognitiven Prinzipien - Metaphorizitat, Ikonizitat, perzeptuelle Salienz, kognitive Modelle,...

Discusses the challenges of bandwidth scarcity due to mobile data explosion and their solutions

The rapidly growing popularity of Smartphones and other mobile devices has resulted in an exponential growth of mobile data. There is insufficient radio spectrum to cope with this growing data demand, and upgrading existing networks to meet the demands of mobile data explosion is expensive.

Techniques for Surviving the Mobile Data Explosion is about the different approaches that can be used to address the challenges of limited bandwidth. It examines these challenges...

Evolvable Hardware (EHW) has emerged as a sub-domain of artificial evolution represented by a design methodology (consortium of methods) involving the application of Evolutionary Algorithms (EA) to the synthesis of digital and analogue electronic circuits and systems. Nevertheless, the most benefit for the society and indeed most revolutionizing application of EA is its hardware implementation leading to the EHW. These new EA based methodologies led to a new type of machines that is evolved to attain a desired behaviour, which means they have a behavioural computational intelligence. EHW...

This textbook provides an introduction to the fundamentals of serious games, which differ considerably from computer games that are meant for pure entertainment.

Undergraduate and graduate students from various disciplines who want to learn about serious games are one target group of this book. Prospective developers of serious games are another, as they can use the book for self-study in order to learn about the distinctive features of serious game design and development. And ultimately, the book also addresses prospective users of serious game technologies by providing them with a...
