The LabVIEW Development Guidelines describe many of the issues that
arise when developing large applications. The guidelines are based on the
advice of LabVIEW developers, and provide a basic survey of software
engineering techniques you might find useful when developing your
own projects.
There is also a discussion of style for creating VIs. Developers who have
used LabVIEW and are comfortable in the LabVIEW environment can use
the LabVIEW Development Guidelines to maintain a consistent and
effective style in their projects.
This my phd thesis for the WDM optical network optimization, which employs convex optimization techniques to solve the proposed integer problems. The computation complexity of my optimization framework is very low compared with other existing method and a performance bound is provided at the same time.
In recent years large scientific interest has been
devoted to joint data decoding and parameter estimation
techniques. In this paper, iterative turbo decoding joint
to channel frequency and phase estimation is proposed.
The phase and frequency estimator is embedded into the
structure of the turbo decoder itself, taking into consideration
both turbo interleaving and puncturing. Results
show that the proposed technique outperforms conventional
approaches both in terms of detection capabilities and
implementation complexity.
The need for accurate monitoring and analysis of sequential data arises in many scientic, industrial
and nancial problems. Although the Kalman lter is effective in the linear-Gaussian
case, new methods of dealing with sequential data are required with non-standard models.
Recently, there has been renewed interest in simulation-based techniques. The basic idea behind
these techniques is that the current state of knowledge is encapsulated in a representative
sample from the appropriate posterior distribution. As time goes on, the sample evolves and
adapts recursively in accordance with newly acquired data. We give a critical review of recent
developments, by reference to oil well monitoring, ion channel monitoring and tracking
problems, and propose some alternative algorithms that avoid the weaknesses of the current
methods.
TI warrants performance of its products to the specifications applicable at the time of sale in
accordance with TI’s standard warranty. Testing and other quality control techniques are utilized
to the extent TI deems necessary to support this warranty. Specific testing of all parameters of
each device is not necessarily performed, except those mandated by government requirements.
The Linux Enterprise Cluster explains how to take a number of inexpensive computers with limited resources, place them on a normal computer network, and install free software so that the computers act together like one powerful server. This makes it possible to build a very inexpensive and reliable business system for a small business or a large corporation. The book includes information on how to build a high-availability server pair using the Heartbeat package, how to use the Linux Virtual Server load balancing software, how to configure a reliable printing system in a Linux cluster environment, and how to build a job scheduling system in Linux with no single point of failure.
The book also includes information on high availability techniques that can be used with or without a cluster, making it helpful for System Administrators even if they are not building a cluster. Anyone interested in deploying Linux in an environment where low cost computer reliability is important will find this book useful.
Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) has been an interesting problem for a long
time in classical optimization techniques which are based on linear and nonlinear
programming. TSP can be described as follows: Given a number of cities to visit
and their distances from all other cities know, an optimal travel route has to be
found so that each city is visited one and only once with the least possible distance
traveled. This is a simple problem with handful of cities but becomes complicated
as the number increases.
The market for miniature computer programming is exploding. C++ Footprint and Performance Optimization supplies programmers the knowledge they need to write code for the increasing number of hand-held devices, wearable computers, and intelligent appliances.
This book gives readers valuable knowledge and programming techniques that are not currently part of traditional programming training.
In the world of C++ programming, all other things being equal, programs that are smaller and faster are better.
C++ Footprint and Performance Optimization contains case studies and sample code to give readers concrete examples and proven solutions to problems that don t have cut and paste solutions.
Advanced_modelling_in_finance_using_Excel_and_VBA(pdf) The book adopts a step-by-step approach to understanding the more sophisticated aspects of Excel macros and VBA programming, showing how these programming techniques can be used to model and manipulate financial data, as applied to equities, bonds and options. The book is essential for financial practitioners who need to develop their financial modelling skill sets as there is an increase in the need to analyse and develop ever more complex what if scenarios.
Data mining (DM) is the extraction of hidden predictive information from large databases
(DBs). With the automatic discovery of knowledge implicit within DBs, DM uses
sophisticated statistical analysis and modeling techniques to uncover patterns and relationships
hidden in organizational DBs. Over the last 40 years, the tools and techniques to
process structured information have continued to evolve from DBs to data warehousing
(DW) to DM. DW applications have become business-critical. DM can extract even more
value out of these huge repositories of information.
