Detailed mathematical derivations, illustrated case studies, the application of soft computation techniques, designs of robust controllers, and end-of-chapter exercises make it a useful resource to researchers, practicing engineers, and post-graduates in electrical engineering.
    • Vehicle Collision Dynamics

      Analysis and Reconstruction
      • 1st Edition
      • Dario Vangi
      • English
      Vehicle Collision Dynamics provides a unified framework and timely collection of up-to-date results on front crash, side crash and car to car crashes. The book is ideal as a reference, with an approach that's simple, clear, and easy to comprehend. As the mathematical and software-based modelling and analysis of vehicle crash scenarios have not been systematically investigated, this is an ideal source for further study. Numerous academic and industry studies have analyzed vehicle safety during physical crash scenarios, thus material responses during crashes serve as one of the most important performance indices for mechanical design problems. In addition to mathematical methodologies, this book provides thorough coverage of computer simulations, software-based modeling, and an analysis of methods capable of providing more flexibility.
    • Probabilistic Graphical Models for Computer Vision.

      • 1st Edition

      • English
      Probabilistic Graphical Models for Computer Vision introduces probabilistic graphical models (PGMs) for computer vision problems and teaches how to develop the PGM model from training data. This book discusses PGMs and their significance in the context of solving computer vision problems, giving the basic concepts, definitions and properties. It also provides a comprehensive introduction to well-established theories for different types of PGMs, including both directed and undirected PGMs, such as Bayesian Networks, Markov Networks and their variants.

    • Reliability of Photonics Devices

      • 1st Edition
      • Yannick Deshayes
      • English
      Reliability of Photonics Devices discusses the advantages of training computer scientists with a knowledge base that is broad enough to adapt to the context of different companies, administrations and organizations. The book's focus is multidisciplinary, including the inclusion of computer science, information systems, organization and management, communication, professionalization and applied mathematics. The MIAGE sector is offered by 22 French universities, 6 of which offer a joint remote version, also shared by 5 associated foreign institutions.In this sector, students come from scientific or economics-management fields. Their mathematical background, without being elementary, is not that of a student engaged in a long mathematical field. The applied mathematics concepts of the MIAGE program focus on descriptive statistics, probabilities, data analysis, random processes and numerical simulation.
    • Energy Efficient Design of Wireless Sensor Networks

      • 1st Edition
      • Nouha Sghaier + 1 more
      • English
      Energy Efficient Design of Wireless Sensor Networks explores how to optimize energy supply in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), which is more complex than in conventional wired networks because it involves not only reducing the energy consumption of a single sensor node, but also maximizing the lifetime of an entire network. The book focuses on mobile wireless sensor networks characterized by poor connectivity, examining ways to exploit the mobility of nodes to optimize their energy consumption and maximize the lifetime of the entire network on two main levels, the neighbor's discovery phase and data transfer methods.
