Internet traffic is increasing by at least 200% per year and this is the first book to report on the current state-of-the-art of packet-switching architectures. A mix of theoretical and practical material makes this book an essential reference for researchers in academia as well as industrial engineers.

This book uses a mathematical approach to deriving the laws of science and technology, based upon the concept of Fisher information. The approach that follows from these ideas is called the principle of Extreme Physical Information (EPI). The authors show how to use EPI to determine the theoretical input/output laws of unknown systems.

For the Fellowship I proposed these two topics as areas in which the academic statistics could contribute to the development of government statistics, in exchange for access to the operational details and background that would inform the direction and sharpen the focus of a- demic research.

the last part of the book is concerned with applications.With a world-wide authorship of experts working in many mid-infrared-related fields this book will be an invaluable reference for researchers and graduate students drawn from physics, electronic and electrical engineering and materials science.

Colorectal surgery is probably the largest of the subspecialties of general surgery, and one of the areas where trainees and consultant general /colorectal surgeons are least confident is in their understanding of the anatomy, physiological pathology and management of the anal canal and pelvis.

Advanced Mechanics in Robotic Systems illustrates ambitious, original mechanical designs and techniques for developing new robot prototypes. Case studies focus on projects in mechatronics that have high growth expectations: humanoid robots, robotics hands, mobile robots, etc.

This book provides advanced insights into dynamics, complexity, and uncertainty in supply chains from the perspectives of systems analysis, control theory and operations research. It also considers supply chain adaptability, stability and crisis-resistance.

This construction of strict Lyapunov functions is an ongoing engineering challenge. This book contains a broad repertoire of Lyapunov constructions for nonlinear systems, focusing on methods for transforming non-strict Lyapunov functions into strict ones.

Distributed Decision Making and Control is a mathematical treatment of relevant problems in distributed control, decision and multiagent systems, The research reported was prompted by the recent rapid development in large-scale networked and embedded systems and communications.

Incorporating a number of illustrations, this book focuses on distributed-parameter systems, the dynamics of which can be modelled with partial differential equations. Application examples cover fields ranging from environmental science to national security.

This book offers a broad overview of distributed video coding (DVC) and multiple description coding (MDC), novel techniques which address problems of conventional image and video compression coding. Coverage ranges from basic principles to the latest research.

This important text provides a single point of reference for state-of-the-art cloud computing design and implementation techniques. presents the state-of-the-art in enterprise architecture approaches with respect to cloud computing models, frameworks, technologies, and applications;

This book describes complex random signals, characterized by the presence of a heavy-tailed distribution or non-negligible dependence between distant observations. Coverage includes simulation, fractional-order modeling and filtering fractional-order systems.

Tracking extremes in a performance function such as output or cost, extremum-seeking control tries to optimize a system as it operates, thereby reducing downtime and the need for system analysis. This publication covers several practical applications.

Increasing complexity and performance and reliability expectations make modeling of automotive system both more difficult and more urgent. Automotive control has slowly evolved from an add-on to classical engine and vehicle design to a key technology to enforce consumption, pollution and safety limits.

Image compression is concerned with minimization of the number of information carrying units used to represent an image. new domain decomposition based algorithms using image quality measures and study of various quality measures for gray scale image compression;

Reset Control Systems addresses the analysis for reset control treating both its basic form, and some useful variations of the reset action and reset condition. The issues regarding reset control - concepts and motivation; analysis tools; and the application of design methodologies to real-world examples - are given thorough coverage.

Recent Advances in System Reliability discusses developments in modern reliability theory such as signatures, multi-state systems and statistical inference.

External fixation in Orthopedic traumatology is a textbook that focuses on the use of external fixation in the acute management of patients with serious orthopedic injuries. The book highlights the indications for external fixation and provides an evidenced based guide to both the specialist orthopedic surgeon and the trainee.

This exploration of the technical progress of wind energy conversion systems also examines potential future trends and includes recently developed systems such as those for multi-converter operation of variable-speed wind generators and lightning protection.

This volume elucidates the structural details of materials using the X-ray diffraction technique. Analyses of the charge density and the local and average structure are given to reveal the structural properties of technologically important materials.

This book is a guide to getting started with ILDJIT, a compilation framework designed to be both easily extensible and easily configurable. After an introduction to ILDJIT, this guide goes into detail on how to exploit it by extending the framework to match specific requirements.

This text provides a comprehensive overview of the application of Markov models in the field of handwriting recognition, covering both hidden Markov models and Markov-chain or n-gram models.
