Today, engineering problems are very complex, requiring powerful computer simulations to power them. For engineers, observable-based parameterization as well as numerically computable forms¿with rapid convergent properties if in a series¿are...
Today, Web search is treated as a solitary experience. Web browsers and search engines are typically designed to support a single user, working alone. However, collaboration on information-seeking tasks is...
Too often, designers of computer systems, both hardware and software, use models and concepts that focus on the artifact while ignoring the context in which the artifact will be used.
Understanding distributed computing is not an easy task. This is due to the many facets of uncertainty one has to cope with and master in order to produce correct distributed...
Understanding the dynamics of collective human attention has been called a key scientific challenge for the information age. Tackling this challenge, Collective Attention on the Web explores the dynamics of...
Until recently, the complexity of the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) system has hindered its commercial success. Stringent regulations of diesel emissions has lead to advancements in this technology, therefore mainstreaming...
Until the 1980s, it was presumed that technical change in most communications services could easily be monitored from centralized state and federal agencies. This presumption was long outdated prior to...
Up-to-date coverage of the analysis and applications of coplanar waveguides to microwave circuits and antennas The unique feature of coplanar waveguides, as opposed to more conventional waveguides, is their uniplanar...

Visual pattern analysis is a fundamental tool in mining data for knowledge. Computational representations for patterns and texture allow us to summarize, store, compare, and label in order to learn...
We live in times when facts, claims, opinions, and even data are vying for our attention--ultimatel y aiming to drive us to some desired action--to purchase something, go somewhere, vote...
Webster defines a consultant as "an expert who is called on for professional or technical advice or opinions." This traditional view encompasses such professionals as doctors, lawyers, accountants, engineers and...
What are computers in education being used for? In this book, Cynthia Solomon takes a welcome look at the possibilities and issues of learning with and about computers in schools...
What do you want from your work and your career? Whatever your career goals and interests, this planning tool will help you achieve greater satisfaction and make more of an...
What is it like to be a researcher or a scientist? For young people, including graduate students and junior faculty members in universities, how can they identify good ideas for...
When we play the ancient and noble game of chess, we grapple with ideas about honesty, deceitfulness, bravery, fear, aggression, beauty, and creativity, which echo (or allow us to depart...
While classic data management focuses on the data itself, research on Business Processes also considers the context in which this data is generated and manipulated, namely the processes, users, and...
While rapid progress has been made on upper bounds (algorithms), progress on lower bounds on the complexity of explicit problems has remained slow despite intense efforts over several decades. As...
While the classic model checking problem is to decide whether a finite system satisfies a specification, the goal of parameterized model checking is to decide, given finite systems 𝐌(n) parameterized...
Why should the supply chain be concerned if their buyers or subcontractors are purchasing counterfeit electronic parts or if their products contain counterfeit electronic parts? If these parts end up...
Why should you engage the political system? Because you already are, in the sense that your life is already unavoidably linked to decisions made (or not made) by politicians. Your...
With many new forms of digital media--including such popular social media as Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr -- the people formerly known as the audience no longer only consume but also...
With the advent of modernity, the sharing of resources and infrastructures rapidly expanded beyond local communities into regional, national, and even transnational space -- nowhere as visibly as in Europe,...
With the proliferation of cloud computing, there has been a rejuvenated interest in two aspects of distributed computing. The first perspective is seen through the eyes of the cloud providers,...
With the rapid growth of web search in recent years the problem of modeling its users has started to attract more and more attention of the information retrieval community. This...
