Introduction to Network Simulator NS2 is a primer providing materials for NS2 beginners, whether students, professors, or researchers for understanding the architecture of Network Simulator 2 (NS2) and for incorporating simulation modules into NS2.
Focusing on the special challenges posed by accurately pinpointing a location indoors, this volume reflects the distance we have come in the handful of decades since the germination of GPS technology.
Noise-Driven Phenomena in Hysteretic Systems provides a general approach to nonlinear systems with hysteresis driven by noisy inputs, which leads to a unitary framework for the analysis of various stochastic aspects of hysteresis.
Cognitive and Computational Strategies for Word Sense Disambiguation examines cognitive strategies by humans and computational strategies by machines, for WSD in parallel.
The study of signal transmission and deterioration in signal characteristics as the signal propagates through wireless channels is of great significance.
Next-generation Internet providers face high expectations, as contemporary users worldwide expect high-quality multimedia functionality in a landscape of ever-expanding network applications.
The propagation of waves along and across the boundary between two media with different characteristic velocities is much more complicated when the source is on or near the boundary than when it is far away and the incident waves are plane.
While many articles have been written on microwave devices, a great majority of them are prepared for specialists dealing in specific aspects of microwave engineering.
Spectrum estimation refers to analyzing the distribution of power or en- ergy with frequency of the given signal, and system identification refers to ways of characterizing the mechanism or system behind the observed sig- nal/data.
Like the 120 volt standard for electricity, the appearance of standards in network management heralds new opportunities for creativity and achievement.
Research over the last decade has brought about the development of high-performance systems such as powerful workstations, sophisticated computer graphics, and multimedia systems such as real-time video and speech recognition.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the International Symposium on Multimedia Communications and Video Coding (ISMCVC95) held October 11 - 13, 1995, at the Poly- technic University in Brooklyn, New York.
The creation of the text really began in 1976 with the author being involved with a group of researchers at Stanford University and the Naval Ocean Systems Center, San Diego.
This book is intended as an introduction to array signal process- ing, where the principal objectives are to make use of the available multiple sensor information in an efficient manner to detect and possi- bly estimate the signals and their parameters present in the scene.
Modern radar, telecommunication, sonar, and radio-astronomy systems use integrated systems, complex signals, and signal processing methods exten- sively.
It is difficult for me to forget the mild sense of betrayal I felt some ten years ago when I discovered, with considerable dismay, that my two favorite books on linear system theory - Desoer's Notes for a Second Course on Linear Systems and Brockett's Finite Dimensional Linear Systems - were both out of print.
This book gathers selected high-quality research papers presented at the Ninth International Congress on Information and Communication Technology, held in London, on February 19-22, 2024.
This monograph is an outgrowth of the authors' recent research on the de- velopment of algorithms for several low-level vision problems using artificial neural networks.
Algorithms for computation are a central part of both digital signal pro- cessing and decoders for error-control codes and the central algorithms of the two subjects share many similarities.
In this, the first history of artifical satellites and their uses, Helen Gavaghan shows how the idea of putting an object in orbit around the earth changed from science fiction to indespensible technology in the twinkling of an eye.
For a machine to convert text into sounds that humans can understand as speech requires an enormous range of components, from abstract analysis of discourse structure to synthesis and modulation of the acoustic output.
This book is the result of our teaching over the years an undergraduate course on Linear Optimal Systems to applied mathematicians and a first-year graduate course on Linear Systems to engineers.
