"Readers can pick up this book and become familiar with C++ in a short time. Stan has taken a very broad and complicated Topic and reduced it to the essentials that budding C++ programmers need to know to write real programs. His case study is effective and provides a familiar thread throughout the book.
Understanding the Linux Kernel helps readers understand how Linux performs best and how
it meets the challenge of different environments. The authors introduce each Topic by
explaining its importance, and show how kernel operations relate to the utilities that are
familiar to Unix programmers and users.
This volume presents the state of the art concerning quality and interestingness measures for data mining. The book summarizes recent developments and presents original research on this Topic. The chapters include surveys, comparative studies of existing measures, proposals of new measures, simulations, and case studies. Both theoretical and applied chapters are included. Papers for this book were selected and reviewed for correctness and completeness by an international review committee.
The Kalman filter is an efficient recursive filter that estimates the state of a linear dynamic system from a series of noisy measurements. It is used in a wide range of engineering applications from radar to computer vision, and is an important Topic in control theory and control systems engineering. Together with the linear-quadratic regulator (LQR), the Kalman filter solves the linear-quadratic-Gaussian control problem (LQG). The Kalman filter, the linear-quadratic regulator and the linear-quadratic-Gaussian controller are solutions to what probably are the most fundamental problems in control theory.
The use of FPGAs for cryptographic applications is highly attractive for a variety of reasons but at the same time there are many open issues related to the general security of FPGAs. This contribution attempts to provide a state-of-the-art description of this Topic. First, the advantages of reconfigurable hardware for cryptographic applications are discussed from a systems perspective. Second, potential security problems of FPGAs are described in detail, followed by a proposal of a some countermeasure. Third, a list of open research problems is provided. Even though there have been many contributions dealing with the algorithmic
aspects of cryptographic schemes implemented on FPGAs, this contribution appears to be the first comprehensive treatment of system and security aspects.
As a general rule, PhD students and their supervisors tend to focus
primarily, or even exclusively, on the content of the research that will
go into the doctoral thesis. Other issues are often taken for granted:
how to organize your work, give a presentation, work in a team, cope
with your supervisor, and how to effectively manage your time.When
asked, former PhD students usually claim that the general experience
of being a graduate student, which includes learning how to solve
complex problems and work well with others, was of greater value to
their careers than the actual Topic of their thesis.
Within this book the fundamental concepts associated with the Topic of power electronic control are covered alongside the latest equipment and devices, new application areas and associated computer-assisted methods.
*A practical guide to the control of reactive power systems
*Ideal for postgraduate and professional courses
*Covers the latest equipment and computer-aided analysis
3 Dimensions TV (3DTV) became commercially available in the United States
in 2010 and service in other countries was expected to follow soon thereafter.
3DTV is a subset of a larger discipline known as 3D Video (3DV). There are
now many routine vendor announcements related to 3DTV/3DV, and there are
also conferences wholly dedicated to the Topic.
When the authors of this book asked me to write the foreword of
their work on the digital enterprise, I immediately thought that it was
one more document on a fashionable Topic in the technology and the
business world of the 21st Century often addressed by consulting
firms, some of which have aspired to become experts on the subject.
However, a more careful observation reveals that an issue more
important than the sole subject of the digital enterprise is: “Is your
company fully operational?”, because this is the real Topic.
