There are many algorithm texts that provide lots of well-polished code and proofs of correctness. This book is not one of them. Instead, this book presents insights, notations, and analogies to help the novice describe and think about algorithms like an expert. By looking at both the big picture and easy step-by-step methods for developing algorithms, the author helps students avoid the common pitfalls. He stresses paradigms such as loop invariants and recursion to unify a huge range of algorithms into a few meta-algorithms. Part of the goal is to teach the students to think abstractly. Without getting bogged with formal proofs, the book fosters a deeper understanding of how and why each algorithm works. These insights are presented in a slow and clear manner accessible to second- or third-year students of computer science, preparing them to find their own innovative ways to solve problems.

The study of Markov random fields has brought exciting new problems to probability theory which are being developed in parallel with basic investigation in other disciplines, most notably physics.

Os consagrados autores explicam detalhadamente, neste livro, como usar a linguagem de programação C# - a principal linguagem na iniciativa .NET da Microsoft - para programação de propósito geral e para desenvolver aplicativos multicamadas, cliente-servidor, com uso intensivo de banco de dados, baseados na Internet e na Web.

New to P-H Signal Processing Series (Alan Oppenheim, Series Ed) this text covers the principles and applications of "multidimensional" and "image" digital signal processing. For Sr/grad level courses in image processing in EE departments.

Nearly twice the size of the first edition, this second edition presents the basic principles underlying the use of these important circuits and provides many applications of their use in system design.

This book combines coverage of expert systems theory with coverage of practical applications using CLIPS, an expert systems shell widely used in government, industry, and education. The result is a self-contained book and CD-ROM package for computer science, engineering, and CIS/MIS students and professionals that provides the conceptual background and programming tools needed to understand and implement expert systems.

Das Buch gibt eine umfassende Einführung in das Gebiet der relationalen Datenbanken. Es ist das erste deutschsprachige Werk, das sich auf die relationale Datenbanktechnologie beschränkt und zugleich die Datenbankentwurfsmethodik, Sprachaspekte, Systemarchitekturen und neuere Technologien umfassend und verständlich behandelt. Bei der Datenmodellierung werden Abbildungsregeln zum Überführen eines Entitäten-Beziehungsmodells in ein relationales Datenbankschema behandelt, Normalformen diskutiert und ein unternehmensweites Datenmodell veranschaulicht.

Was sind Datenbanken, wie entwirft man eigene Datenbanken und wie kann man mit ihnen optimal arbeiten? Lebendig und umfassend führt Sie dieses Buch in die Grundlagen von Theorie, Programmierung und dem Entwurf relationaler Datenbanken ein. Aus verschiedenen Perspektiven von Anwendern, Programmierern und Datenbankadministratoren werden die unterschiedlichsten Anforderungen beleuchtet und ein umfassendes Verständnis für die Problematik geweckt. Eine übersichtliche Grafik dient als Wegweiser durch das Buch. An jedem Kapitelende finden Sie neben zahlreichen Fragen und Aufgaben ausführliche Zusammenfassungen zur Wiederholung und Intensivierung des Stoffes. Auf der Homepage zum Buch stehen alle Beispieldateien zum Download bereit.

Robotik als lernende Systeme werden in diesem Buch durch intelligente, rechnerbasierte Technologien in funktionaler Hinsicht beschrieben. Durch Modellierung der Realität mit Hilfe der objektorientierten Ontologie und Implementierung dieser Modelle durch Knowledge Computing Technologien unter Java werden konkrete Anwendungsfälle ...

This book does not go into the theory behind any of the sensors shown, nor does it go into any of the theory behind the electronic and optoelectronic parts required to build any of the circuits shown. It is basically just a library of different kinds of alarm circuits complete with theory of operation and parts list for each circuit.

"Phylogenetics" is the reconstruction and analysis of phylogenetic (evolutionary) trees and networks based on inherited characteristics. It is a flourishing area of intereaction between mathematics, statistics, computer science and biology. T

You might have a truly amazing idea for a game, but do you know what to do with it? Transforming your idea into an actual game can be a daunting task. You must have an understanding of game art, programming, audio, and business in order to produce the solid game design document that can turn your really cool idea into a really cool game.
