This book introduces concepts and technologies of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). It describes state of the art safety communication protocol called Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC), currently being considered for adoption by the USDOT and automotive industry in the US. However, the principles of this book are applicable even if the underlying physical layer protocol of V2X changes in the future, e.g. V2X changes from DSRC to cellular-based connectivity. Fundamental ITS c...

Praise for the Series "This book will be a useful reference to control engineers and researchers. The papers contained cover well the recent advances in the field of modern control theory." --IEEE Group Correspondence "This book will help all those researchers who valiantly try to keep abreast of what is new in the theory and practice of optimal control." --Control

This book provides engineers with focused treatment of the mathematics needed to understand probability, random variables, and stochastic processes, which are essential mathematical disciplines used in communications engineering. The author explains the basic concepts of these topics as plainly as possible so that people with no in-depth knowledge of these mathematical topics can better appreciate their applications in real problems. Applications examples are drawn from various areas of communic...

This book explains how UHF tags and readers communicate wirelessly. It gives an understanding of what limits the read range of a tag, how to increase it (and why that might result in breaking the law), and the practical things that need to be addressed when designing and implementing RFID technology. Avoiding heavy math but giving breadth of coverage with the right amount of detail, it is an ideal introduction to radio communications for engineers who need insight into how tags and readers work....

Describes how Supervisory Control and Data Acquisitions (SCADA) systems work and defines a new paradigm that assesses security and provides solutions through predictive modelling. This book evaluates the rapid development in hacking Supervisory Control and Data Acquisitions (SCADA) systems. It provides new preventative models and metrics for the security of SCADA systems, which will best serve industry professionals such as assessment practitioners and SCADA security engineers. The first chapter...

The only book on integrated circuits for optical communications that fully covers High-Speed IOs, PLLs, CDRs, and transceiver design including optical communication The increasing demand for high-speed transport of data has revitalized optical communications, leading to extensive work on high-speed device and circuit design. With the proliferation of the Internet and the rise in the speed of microprocessors and memories, the transport of data continues to be the bottleneck, motivating work on fa...

This work is aimed at network software developers, project managers, engineers and researchers, but should also be useful for network adminstrators, support staff, AI professionals and graduate students on network management courses. Offering an alternative to the expert systems paradigm for automating network management tasks, which will solve a problem but will not store the solution for the future, case based reasoning enables the system to retrieve the solution and attempt to adapt it to sol...

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the evolution of the internet as the interconnection not just of computers, but also uniquely identifiable, pervasive embedded devices. Research has estimated there will be nearly 30 billion devices on the Internet of Things within the next decade. The implementation and deployment of the IoT brings with it management challenges around seamless integration, heterogeneity, scalability, mobility, security, and many other issues. This book explores these chall...

This work provides a guide to wavelet-based signal processing with fractals. Coverage includes wavelet theory and transformations, statistically self-similar signals, deterministically self-similar signals, fractal modulation and linear self-similar systems.

The use of mobile communication devices has grown phenomenally throughout the world during the last few years. With strong consumer demand to increase data delivery (large emails, browsing the Internet on wireless devices, transferring video images, etc.), engineers are faced with the challenge of enhancing CDMA to provide larger data capabilities while improving voice signals for clearer reception. In November 2001 the U.S. Federal Communications Commission released a much broader band of fre...

Al1e fehlertoleranten Systeme erfordern den Einsatz redundanter Hardwarekom- ponenten. Solche Systeme bestehen aus zwei oder mehreren autonomen Verarbeitungs- einheiten mit Processoren, Speichern und peripheren Geraten. Fehlertolerante Systeme werden unterschieden, o inwieweit die redundante Hardware im Normalbetrieb zusatzliche Rechenleistung erbringt o und wieviel Wissen beim Programmieren erforderlich ist, um fehlertolerante Pro- gramme zu schreiben. Mittlerweile haben sich zwei Methoden hera...
