Software Engineering is a discipline applied by teams to produce high-quality, large-scale, cost-effective software that satisfies the users’ needs, and can be maintained over time
Software Development is a weaker term where standards, tools, processes, etc. may not be applied
Swarm intelligence is an innovative computational way to solving hard problems.
This discipline is inspired by the behavior of social insects such as fish
schools and bird flocks and colonies of ants, termites, bees and wasps. In general,
this is done by mimicking the behavior of the biological creatures within
their swarms and colonies.
This article covers many of the fundamentals of analog video. Video is defined for our purposes here as "moving
pictures." Still imaging, like what is found in digital still cameras or scanners, is not covered. The requirements
for still imaging do have a lot in common with those for video, but the differences are significant enough to be
dealt with as a separate discipline.
Ce livre, illustré d exemples nombreux, présente les concepts de base et les fondements des méthodes de la statistique textuelle. Il combine une approche pédagogique des outils et un exposé sur l état de l art de cette discipline. La statistique textuelle se veut précisément un outil destiné à parfaire l analyse, la description, la comparaison, en un mot, le traitement des textes.
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.
Engineers are professional inventors, researchers, and developers. Education imbues each engineer
with discipline-specific knowledge. Combining the different disciplines allows engineers to solve
more complex problems.
Wireless is one of the most rapidly developing technologies in our time, with dazzling
new products and services emerging on an almost daily basis. These developments present
enormous challenges for communications engineers, as the demand for increased wireless
capacity grows explosively. Indeed, the discipline of wireless communications presents
many challenges to designers that arise as a result of the demanding nature of the physical
medium and the complexities in the dynamics of the underlying network.
Failure analysis is invaluable in the learning process of electrostatic discharge (ESD) and
electrical overstress (EOS) protection design and development [1–8]. In the failure analysis
of EOS, ESD, and latchup events, there are a number of unique failure analysis processes
andinformationthatcanprovidesignificantunderstandingandillumination[4].Today,thereis
still no design methodology or computer-aided design (CAD) tool which will predict EOS,

why failure analysis is critical to the ESD design discipline.
The purpose of this book is to present detailed fundamental information on a
global positioning system (GPS) receiver. Although GPS receivers are popu-
larly used in every-day life, their operation principles cannot be easily found
in one book. Most other types of receivers process the input signals to obtain
the necessary information easily, such as in amplitude modulation (AM) and
frequency modulation (FM) radios. In a GPS receiver the signal is processed
to obtain the required information, which in turn is used to calculate the user
position. Therefore, at least two areas of discipline, receiver technology and
navigation scheme, are employed in a GPS receiver. This book covers both
areas.
