Mobile Information Systems : Infrastructure and Design for Adaptivity and Flexibility
The book is divided into three parts: core technologies for mobile information systems (e.g., adaptive middleware and flexible e-services), enabling technologies (like data management on small devices or adaptive low-power hardware architectures or wireless networks), and methodological aspects of mobile information systems design (such as service profiling or user interface and e-service design for context-aware applications). It provides researchers in academia and industry with a comprehensive vision on innovative aspects which can be used as a basis for the development of new frameworks and applications.
High performance computing on vector systems 2007 ; Conference proceedings
The following book presents contributions from the 6th TERAFLOP Workshop which was hosted by Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan in Autumn 2006 and the 7th Workshop in Stuttgart which was held in spring 2007 in Stuttgart. Focus is layed on current applications and future requirements, as well as developments of next generation hardware architectures and installations. The papers presented in this book lay out the wide range of fields in which sustained performance can be achieved if engineering knowledge, numerical mathematics and computer science skills are brought together. With the advent of hybrid systems, the Teraflop workbench project will continue the support of leading edge computations for future applications.
Distributed Embedded Control Systems : Improving Dependability with Coherent Design
Distributed Embedded Control Systems handles the domains encountered when designing a distributed embedded computer control system as an integrated whole. First to be discussed are some basic issues about real-time systems and their properties, specifically safety. Then, system and hardware architectures are dealt.
Cryptography Arithmetic : Algorithms and Hardware Architectures
Modern cryptosystems, used in numerous applications that require secrecy or privacy - electronic mail, financial transactions, medical-record keeping, government affairs, social media etc. - are based on sophisticated mathematics and algorithms that in implementation involve much computer arithmetic. And for speed it is necessary that the arithmetic be realized at the hardware (chip) level. This book is an introduction to the implementation of cryptosystems at that level.
