Proof Theory
Bradley S. Tice
Katalin Bimbo
This new book—the first of its kind—examines the use of algorithmic techniques to compress random and non-random sequential strings found in chains of polymers. The book is an introduction to algorithmic complexity. Examples taken from current research in the polymer sciences are used for compression of like-natured properties as found on a chain of polymers. Both theory and applied aspects of algorithmic compression are reviewed. A description of the types of polymers and their uses is followed by a chapter on various types of compression systems that can be used to compress polymer chains into manageable units. The work is intended for graduate and postgraduate university students in the physical sciences and engineering.

Contemporary High Performance Computing
The End of Error
From Petascale toward Exascale, Volume Two
John L. Gustafson
Edited by
In this groundbreaking book, the author—a worldrenowned expert in high-performance computing (HPC) and inventor of Gustafson’s Law—presents his new approach to computer arithmetic: the unum. The universal number, or unum format, encompasses all IEEE floating-point formats as well as fixed-point and exact integer arithmetic. This approach obtains more accurate answers than floating-point arithmetic yet uses fewer bits in many cases, saving memory, bandwidth, energy, and power. Accessible to researchers in HPC and related areas, the book provides a Mathematica® notebook for the code examples.

Cooperative Control of Multi-Agent Systems A Consensus Region Approach Zhongkui Li and Zhisheng Duan Peking University, Beijing, China Series: Automation and Control Engineering, 57
This book provides a systematic framework for designing distributed controllers for multi-agent systems with general linear agent dynamics, linear agent dynamics with uncertainties, and Lipschitz nonlinear agent dynamics. The proposed consensus region decouples the design of the feedback gain matrices of the cooperative protocols from the communication graph and serves as a measure for the robustness of the protocols to variations of the communication graph. By exploiting the decoupling feature, adaptive cooperative protocols are presented that can be designed and implemented in a fully distributed fashion.

This gripping real-time drama is set against the the devastation of the Haiti earthquake. The author, a pioneer of digital humanitarianism, didn’t stay idle long. Within hours, from his laptop, he’d assembled a global network of volunteers to collect, analyze, sift through, map, and relay accurate information from survivors on the ground voicing cries of help using social media. Their data-mining accomplishments were record-breaking and set new standards for quick action in large scale disaster relief situations. This book explains the technology behind this new wave of ICT networking and datamining.
Driven by the need and desire to reduce costs, organizations are faced with a set of decisions that require analytical scrutiny.

Although project planning is known to be critical to project success, it remains a relatively under-studied area of project management research. This book draws on a literature review of planning that covers more than 270 sources. It also discusses new research that analyzed data from more than 1,300 global projects. The book brings this under-studied area of knowledge to the forefront. It emphasizes that planning is required for project success and that shortchanging planning will have a negative impact on project success.
Risk Management: Concepts and Guidance is considered a comprehensive reference of risk management tools, practices, and protocols. This fifth edition emphasizes greater clarity on risk practice from a pragmatic perspective—with a new focus on the ability to apply “planned clairvoyance” to peer into the future. It also views risk in light of current information, while remaining grounded in the history of risk practice.

Zero Crossing Based Models
Ad Hoc Mobile Wireless Networks
Chandra Sekhar Seelamantula and Thippur V. Sreenivas
Principles, Protocols, and Applications, Second Edition
This book introduces non-uniform-sample-based signal processing methods, specifically those derived based on zero-crossing measurements. Most current-day digital signal processing is based on uniform Nyquist sampling of bandlimited signals. However, most real-world signals are neither time-invariant nor bandlimited. In the past few decades, there have been significant developments in different sampling approaches: random sampling, signal-dependent sampling, and compressive sampling, which are promising both for time-varying signals as well as more compact processing in terms of the number of samples and power consumed.

Systems & Computer Architecture
Simple Statistical Methods for Software Engineering
Alexandru Ioan Cuza University, Iasi, Romania
Model-driven engineering (MDE) is the automatic production of software from simplified models of structure and functionality. It mainly involves the automation of the routine and technologically complex programming tasks, thus allowing developers to focus on the true value-adding functionality that the system needs to deliver. This book serves an overview of some of the core topics in MDE. The volume is broken into two sections offering a selection of papers that helps the reader not only understand the MDE principles and techniques, but also learn from practical examples.
Series: Systems Engineering
Extensively revised to reflect the latest developments, the third edition of this bestselling text explains how to create a system from scratch, presenting invention/design rules together with clear explanations of how to use them. The author supplies practical guidelines for avoiding common systematic failures while implementing new mandates. He uses a heuristics-based approach that provides an organized attack on very ill-structured engineering problems. Examining architecture as more than a set of diagrams and documents, but as a set of decisions that either drive a system to success or doom it to failure, the book provides methods for integrating business strategy with technical architectural decision making.
