Processor Microarchitecture

Antonio González / Latorre, Fernando / Magklis, Grigorios

This lecture presents a study of the microarchitecture of contemporary microprocessors. The focus is on implementation aspects, with discussions on their implications in terms of performance, power, and cost of state-of-the-art designs. The lecture starts with an overview of the different types of m...

A Gyrovector Space Approach to Hyperbolic Geometry

Ungar, Abraham A.

The mere mention of hyperbolic geometry is enough to strike fear in the heart of the undergraduate mathematics and physics student. Some regard themselves as excluded from the profound insights of hyperbolic geometry so that this enormous portion of human achievement is a closed door to them. The mi...

A Practical Guide to Testing Mobile Smartphone Applications

Harty, Julian

Testing applications for mobile phones is difficult, time-consuming, and hard to do effectively. Many people have limited their testing efforts to hands-on testing of an application on a few physical handsets, and they have to repeat the process every time a new version of the software is ready to t...

A Concise Introduction to Multiagent Systems and Distributed Artificial Intelligence

Vlassis, Nikos

Multiagent systems is an expanding field that blends classical fields like game theory and decentralized control with modern fields like computer science and machine learning. This monograph provides a concise introduction to the subject, covering the theoretical foundations as well as more recent d...

Path Problems in Networks

Baras, John / Theodorakopoulos, George / Walrand, Jean

The algebraic path problem is a generalization of the shortest path problem in graphs. Various instances of this abstract problem have appeared in the literature, and similar solutions have been independently discovered and rediscovered. The repeated appearance of a problem is evidence of its releva...

User-Centered Data Management

Catarci, Tiziana / Dix, Alan / Kimani, Stephen

This lecture covers several core issues in user-centered data management, including how to design usable interfaces that suitably support database tasks, and relevant approaches to visual querying, information visualization, and visual data mining. Novel interaction paradigms, e.g., mobile and inter...

Conceptual Models

Henderson, Austin / Johnson, Jeff

People make use of software applications in their activities, applying them as tools in carrying out tasks. That this use should be good for people--easy, effective, efficient, and enjoyable--is a principal goal of design. In this book, we present the notion of Conceptual Models, and argue that Conc...

The Engineering Design Challenge

Dolan, Charles W.

The Engineering Design Challenge addresses teaching engineering design and presents design projects for first-year students and interdisciplinary design ventures. A short philosophy and background of engineering design is discussed. The organization of the University of Wyoming first-year Introducti...

Interacting with Information

Blandford, Ann / Attfield, Simon

We live in an "information age," but information is only useful when it is interpreted by people and applied in the context of their goals and activities. The volume of information to which people have access is growing at an incredible rate, vastly outstripping people's ability to assimilate and ma...

Database Replication

Kemme, Bettina / Jimenez Peris, Ricardo / Patino-Martinez, Marta

Database replication is widely used for fault-tolerance, scalability and performance. The failure of one database replica does not stop the system from working as available replicas can take over the tasks of the failed replica. Scalability can be achieved by distributing the load across all replica...

Introduction to Logic

Genesereth, Michael / Kao, Eric

This book is a gentle but rigorous introduction to Formal Logic. It is intended primarily for use at the college level. However, it can also be used for advanced secondary school students, and it can be used at the start of graduate school for those who have not yet seen the material. The approach t...

Modern Image Quality Assessment

Wang, Zhou / Bovik, Alan C.

This Lecture book is about objective image quality assessmentwhere the aim is to provide computational models that can automatically predict perceptual image quality. The early years of the 21st century have witnessed a tremendous growth in the use of digital images as a means for representing and c...
