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...

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...

1m vorliegenden Bericht tiber Software-Fehlertoleranz und -Zuverlassigkeit wird ein Problemkreis aus dem weitgefacherten Themenkomplex der Fehlertoleranz in Rechensystemen aufgegriffen, der in den letzten Jahren zunehmend an Bedeutung und Interesse gewonnen hat. Wahrend in der Vergangenheit ein Schwerpunkt der Fehlertoleranz-Konzepte und -Realisierungen darin lag, die Zuverlassigkeit von Rechensystemen durch MaBnahmen gegen den Ausfall von Hardware-Komponenten zu erhohen, wachst zusehends der Be...

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed postproceedings of the Second International Workshop on Semantic Web and Databases, SWDB 2004, held in Toronto, Canada in August 2004 as a satellite workshop of VLDB 2004. The 14 revised full papers presented together with 2 papers by the invited keynote speakers were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement from 47 submissions. Among the topics addressed are data semantics, semantic Web services, service-oriented computing,...

The theory of argumentation is a rich, interdisciplinary area of research lying across philosophy, communication studies, linguistics, and psychology (at least). Its techniques and results have found a wide range of applications in both t- oretical and practical branches of arti?cial intelligence and computer science. Several theories of argumentation with various semantics have been proposed in the literature. Multi-agent systems theory has picked up argument-inspired approaches and speci?cally...

This book focuses on the design and analysis of protocols for cooperative wireless networks, especially at the medium access control (MAC) layer and for crosslayer design between the MAC layer and the physical layer. It highlights two main points that are often neglected in other books: energy-efficiency and spatial random distribution of wireless devices. Effective methods in stochastic geometry for the design and analysis of wireless networks are also explored. After providing a comprehensive...

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) consists of numerous physically distributed autonomous devices used for sensing and monitoring the physical and/or environmental conditions. A WSN uses a gateway that provides wireless connectivity to the wired world as well as distributed networks. There are many open problems related to Ad-Hoc networks and its applications. Looking at the expansion of the cellular infrastructure, Ad-Hoc network may be acting as the basis of the 4th generation wireless technology w...

Divided into two volumes, the book discusses the fundamentals of various data analysis techniques and algorithm...

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...
