"The conclusion is clear: More books of this kind" (Dotnetpro 4 / 2007)

"Students do not just fall into raptures face bone dry academic products (...). that this can work quite differently, proves Logofatus book, published in 2001 in Romania and the author himself has now translated and expanded. Instead absurd Search and sorting algorithms, it contains interesting and sophisticated algorithms from discrete mathematics (...). The entertaining book also suggests the Dice and experimentation.

Description:

Within the set of many identifier-locator separation designs for the Internet, HIP has progressed further than anything else we have so far. It is time to see what HIP can do in larger scale in the real world. In order to make that happen, the world needs a HIP book, and now we have it.†- Jari Arkko, Internet Area Director, IETF

One of the challenges facing the current Internet architecture is the incorporation of mobile and multi-homed terminals (hosts), and an overall lack of protection against Denial-of-Service attacks and identity spoofing. The Host Identity Protocol (HIP) is being developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as an integrated solution to these problems. The book presents a well-structured, readable and compact overview of ... Read more »

Description:

The increasing demand for wireless communications has revolutionised the lifestyle of today’s society and one of the key components of wireless technology is antenna design. Broadband planar antennas are the newest generation of antennas boasting the attractive features required, such as broad operating bandwidth, low profile, light weight, low cost and ease of integration into arrays or Radio Frequency (RF) circuits, to make them ideal components of modern communications systems. Research into small and broadband antennas has been spurred by the rapid development of portable wireless communication devices such as cell phones, laptops and personal digital assistants.

This all-encompassing volume, Broadband Planar Antennas: Design and Applications, syste ... Read more »

Description:

Set against a backdrop of breathtaking natural beauty, Brazil's striking Modernist architecture has long garnered international acclaim. But these well-known works are not fully reflective of the built environment of Brazil, and in this volume, Richard Williams unearths the surprisingly rich and influential architectural heritage of Brazil. Spanning the period from the 1930s to the present, the book examines the variety of Modernist works in Brazil, including those by renowned architects such as Oscar Niemeyer and Lucio Costa and many others, including Roberto Burle Marx, Vilanova Artigas, Lina Bo Bardi, the Arquitectura Nova group and Paolo Mendes da Rocha, as well as more recent buildings by architects including Jaime Lerner, Joao Filgueiras Lima a ...

This volume, edited by Martin Buehler, Karl Iagnemma and Sanjiv Singh, presents a unique and comprehensive collection of the scientific results obtained by finalist teams that participated in the DARPA Urban Challenge in November 2007, in the mock city environment of the George Air Force base in Victorville, California. This book is the companion of a previous volume by the same editors which was devoted to the Grand Challenge, which took place in the Nevada desert during October 2005, and was the second in the series of autonomous vehicle races sponsored by DARPA.

The Urban Challenge demonstrated how cutting-edge perception, control, and motion planning techniques can allow intelligent autonomous vehicles not only to travel significant dist ... Read more »

This volume of the textbook series "Building construction is to" to ensure appropriate and timely consideration of electrical installations contribute to the building design. Applications and functions of essential plant components are described. For proper consideration of structural arrangements in preliminary experience as a guide and extracts from EN standards are cited. For facilitating management and plant maintenance planning principles are put together and explained with concrete implementation proposals. One of these relates to proposals such as the implementation of an integrated component documentation of the planning and construction process on the use and renovation phases to eventual disposal component.

Description:

Deterministic simulation of the particle transport in semiconductor devices is an interesting alternative to the common Monte Carlo approach. In this book, a state-of-the-art technique called the multigroup approach is presented and applied to a variety of transport problems in bulk semiconductors and semiconductor devices. High-field effects as well as hot-phonon phenomena in polar semiconductors are studied in detail. The mathematical properties of the presented numerical method are studied, and the method is applied to simulating the transport of a two-dimensional electron gas formed at a semiconductor heterostructure. Concerning semiconductor device simulation, several diodes and transistors fabricated of silicon and gallium ... Read more »
