European Telematics
Today, at the start of the 1990's, there is one country where Telematics has entered its adult phase - France. This French success story - more than five million terminals distributed - is interesting because its history is filled with conflict and has, at critical junctures, narrowly escaped failure. Although it is rare for communications researchers to be able to intervene "live" while a new medium is emerging, this is what most of the authors of this book have accomplished. The different part...
Systems Development Using Structured Techniques (Chapman & Hall Computing)
by Malcolm Bull
The aim of this book is to introduce and illustrate practically the structured techniques which are available for use during the development of a computer system. It is suitable for anyone who may be new to systems analaysis, including programmers who are making the transition to analysis. It attempts to reveal the reasons and the reasoning behind the methodologies of structured techniques through the use of case studies. This produces a systems development approach which is valid as an independ...
Ubicomp 2002: Ubiquitous Computing (Lecture Notes in Computer Science, #2498)
Ubiquitous computing is coming of age. In the few short years of the lifetime of this conference, we have seen major changes in our emerging research community. When the conference started in 1999, as Handheld and Ubiquitous Computing, the field was still in its formative stage. In 2002, we see the Ubicomp conference (the name was shortened last year) emerging as an established player attracting research submissions of very high quality from all over the world. Virtually all major research cente...
A Platform-Centric Approach to System-On-Chip (SOE Design
by Chonlameth Arpikanondt and Vijay K Madisetti
Introduction to Self-Driving Vehicle Technology (Chapman & Hall/CRC Artificial Intelligence and Robotics)
by Hanky Sjafrie
This book aims to teach the core concepts that make Self-driving vehicles (SDVs) possible. It is aimed at people who want to get their teeth into self-driving vehicle technology, by providing genuine technical insights where other books just skim the surface. The book tackles everything from sensors and perception to functional safety and cybersecurity. It also passes on some practical know-how and discusses concrete SDV applications, along with a discussion of where this technology is heading....
From the reviews: "This book crystallizes what may become a defining moment in the electronics industry - the shift to platform-based design. It provides the first comprehensive guidebook for those who will build, and use, the integration platforms that may soon drive the system-on-chip revolution." Electronic Engineering Times
This volume presents a collection of papers from the Power Industry Computer Applications Conference 1999 (PICA). PICA presents a spectrum of 21st century information technology solutions for business systems, energy trading systems, and energy management systems.

Hardware/Software Co-Design and Co-Verification (Current Issues in Electronic Modeling, #8)
Co-Design is the set of emerging techniques which allows for the simultaneous design of Hardware and Software. In many cases where the application is very demanding in terms of various performances (time, surface, power consumption), trade-offs between dedicated hardware and dedicated software are becoming increasingly difficult to decide upon in the early stages of a design. Verification techniques - such as simulation or proof techniques - that have proven necessary in the hardware desi...
This is a timely book presenting an overview of the current state-of-the-art within established projects, presenting many different aspects of workflow from users to tool builders. It provides an overview of active research, from a number of different perspectives. It includes theoretical aspects of workflow and deals with workflow for e-Science as opposed to e-Commerce. The topics covered will be of interest to a wide range of practitioners.
Microsoft SQL Server is the leading database management system (DBMS) on Windows NT. This invaluable companion for developers provides not only the fundamentals of SQL Server and data warehouse development but also expert guidance on human resource issues, how to select appropriate tools and architectures for specific projects, how to use COM/DCOM and MTS with SQL Server, and much more.
