With the advent of digital video cameras, anyone can shoot and produce a video for very little money. What "anyone" can't do is create a high quality, professional looking video that will generate clients and open doors. No Budget Video Production will show the undercapitalized video producer how every step in production - preproduction, writing, storyboarding, lighting, locations, on-camera talent, editing and post-production - can be cost minimized, yet still result in a sterling, professional...

There is great competition to capture market share in the global communications industry.

Covering product development standards, connectivity, performance and service and strategic planning, this book provides a one-step resource to making it all work together.

Machine learning techniques are increasingly being used to address problems in computational biology and bioinformatics. Novel machine learning computational techniques to analyze high throughput data in the form of sequences, gene and protein expressions, pathways, and images are becoming vital for understanding diseases and future drug discovery. Machine learning techniques such as Markov models, support vector machines, neural networks, and graphical models have been successful in analyzing l...

Modern buildings are increasingly equipped with actuators and sensors, communication, visualization and control systems. This textbook provides an overview of industrial communication systems and stimulates a basic understanding of network and bus systems for the automation of buildings. After an introduction to EIB/KNX, LON und BACnet technologies, the authors illustrate how these systems can be utilized for specific applications, like air conditioning or illumination. This book assumes only a...

This was the fourth in a sequence of international conferences promoted and organized by the European Association for Signal Processing (EURASIP). This book (in three volumes) presents the proceedings of that conference. EUSIPCO '88 comprised 47 separate sessions organized in 7 parallel programs. Each of the 438 papers that were presented at the conference were reviewed by at least two referees from two independent institutions. In addition, 8 tutorials were contributed by experts in a large fie...

This book explains how to combine and exploit sensor networks and internet-of-things (IoT) technologies and Web-service design patterns to enrich and integrate Building Information Models (BIMs). It provides approaches and software architectures for facilitating the interaction with (and between) BIMs through Web services, and for enabling and facilitating the fusion of the information residing in such models or of information acquired from IoT technologies. The proposed software architectures a...

The book is a compilation of research papers from the cutting-edge technologies and it is targeted towards the scientific community act...

This book provides a snapshot of the current state-of-the-art in the fields of mobile and wireless technology, security and applications.  The proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Mobile and Wireless Technology (ICMWT2015), it represents the outcome of a unique platform for researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to share cutting-edge developments in the field of mobile and wireless science technology, including those working on data management and mobile security....

This volume addresses the problem of designing efficient signalling and provides a link between the areas of communication theory and modem design for amplitude constrained linear optical intensity channel. It provides practical guidelines for the design of signalling sets for wireless optical intensity channels.

This reference deals with spread spectrum systems, which are beginning to find new applications such as CDMA cellular networks and wireless personal communications networks. Theory is covered where appropriate although the focus is on practical issues, including an in-depth look at multiple access communications and positioning systems applications.

This book describes how the telegraph, invented in the 1830's, became indispensable to the point that by 1851 there were more than 50 companies providing telegraphic service in the United States alone. The invention then became a principle factor in warfare beginning with the American Civil War, was a major part of the creation of the first large corporation in America, Western Union, and proved capable of fostering long distance communication with the laying of the Atlantic Cable. Even though i...

This self-contained text, intended for a first course in performance evaluation, covers all aspects of queueing theory. It starts by introducing readers to the terminology and usefulness of queueing theory. Chapter 2 then covers Markovian queues in equilibrium, Little's Law, reversibility, transient analysis and computation and the M/G/I queueing system. Chapter 3 begins with coverage of the product form solution for networks of queues. A new algebraic topological explanation of its existence is...

Optical Engineering is the study and practice of using, detecting, transmitting, and manipulating light to engineer products and systems.
