Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Despite the growing literature on many aspects of communications technology, relatively little has been published on the functioning and planning of complete networks. The long-awaited 2nd edition of this seminal and bestselling telecommunications book is intended to fill that gap, discussing the structure and performance of networks in the context of the services they provide. It is written with the young engineer in mind, but will give professional specialists a deeper understanding of their work too. Much of the material has been developed from teaching within successive IEE Vacation Schools.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Do you believe that the pesticide DDT is responsible for the near destruction of many species of birds Do you think that our air and water are dirtier now than ever before Are you worried about global warming Do you believe that nature is so frail as to be on the verge of collapse due to human interventions This book challenges current environmental doctrine and beliefs that have broad consensus in the American psyche. The challenges are based in the research of scientists worldwide and published within hundreds of books and thousands of articles which have not received the attention they deserve from American media. For example, research has shown that DDT was not responsible for egg-shell thinning, nor was it the poison environmental activists purported it to be. Our air and water are cleaner today than it has been in the last half-century, did you know The actual rise in temperature over the last century has been less than one degree Fahrenheit, so is global warming really an issue that we should spend billions on Research also showed that the beaches in Prince William Sound that were not cleaned after the Exxon Valdez disaster were in better shape 7 years later than those that were cleaned. Thirty two chapters on issues from chemicals to radiation risk, as well as a section on the culture of the environment might just change your mind on several issues. It will give you what you have been lacking for decades.the other side of the story.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Control-Based Operating System Design describes the application of system- and control-theoretical methods to the design of computer operating system components. It argues that computer operating system components should not be first 'designed' and then 'endowed with control', but rather when possible conceived from the outset as controllers, synthesised and assessed in the system-theoretical world of dynamic models, and then realised as control algorithms. Doing so is certainly a significant perspective shift with respect to current practices in operating system design, but the payoff is significant too. In some sense, adopting the suggested attitude means viewing computing systems as cyber-physical ones, where the operating system plays the computational role, the physical elements are the managed resources, and the various (control) functionalities to be realised, interact and co-operate as a network.The book includes both a theoretical treatment of the usefulness of the approach, and the description of a complete implementation in the form of Miosix, a microcontroller kernel made available as free software.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Multicore technology has brought about the reexamination of traditional power system electromagnetic transient simulation methods. The technological penetration of this advancement in power system simulation is not noticeable, but its demand is growing in importance in anticipation of the many-core shift. The availability of this technology in personal computers has orchestrated the redesign of simulation approaches throughout the software industry - and in particular, the parallelization of power system simulation.Multicore Simulation of Power System Transients shows how to parallelize the simulation of power system transients using a multicore desktop computer. The book begins by introducing a power system large enough to demonstrate the potential of multicore technology. Then, it is shown how to formulate and partition the power system into subsystems that can be solved in parallel with a program written in C#. Formulating a power system as subsystems exploits multicore technology by parallelizing its solution and can result in significant speedups. For completeness, the power system presented in this book is also built and run in MATLAB®/Simulink® SimPowerSystems - one of the most widely-used commercial simulation tools today.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Motivated by the exciting new application paradigm of using amalgamated technologies of the Internet and wireless, the next generation communication networks (also called 'ubiquitous', 'complex' and 'unstructured' networking) are changing the way we develop and apply our future systems and services at home and on local, national and global scales. Whatever the interconnection - a WiMAX enabled networked mobile vehicle, MEMS or nanotechnology enabled distributed sensor systems, Vehicular Ad hoc Networking (VANET) or Mobile Ad hoc Networking (MANET) - all can be classified under new networking structures which can be given the generic title of 'ad hoc' communication networking.Dynamic Ad Hoc Networks presents selective recent and important research ideas in this field and provides a timely snapshot of potential developments covering network control, network topology, routing and scheduling for various aspects of implementation, applications and associated attributes. The book features contributions from an international panel of well-known experts and researchers, exploring ad hoc networking fundamentals and its principles; recent and key developing techniques of dynamic ad hoc networking; in-depth analysis of critical serviceoriented features of dynamic ad hoc networking; and typical case studies, application scenarios and uses of dynamic ad hoc networking.
