We examine the evolution of the refractive index modulation when recording gratings in an acrylamide based photopolymer. A nonlocal diffusion model is used to predict theoretically the grating evolution. The model has been developed to account for both nonlocal spatial…

This book presents the fundamentals of discrete-time signals, systems, algorithms and applications for students in electrical engineering or computer science. It covers both time-domain and frequency- domain methods for the analysis of linear, discrete-time systems.

In this book, Hansen presents a collection of structured multicomputer programs for computational science, with the unifying idea of programming paradigm

Multiagent Systems is the title of a collection of papers dedicated to surveying specific themes of Multiagent Systems (MAS) and Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI). All of them authored by leading researchers of this dynamic multidisciplinary field.

Video compression is one of the topics included in the area of images digital processing. The book gives an introduction to algorithms and architectures used in standard video and audio compression

The Student’s Guide to VHDL teaches the fundamental modeling features of VHDL, showing how the features are used for the design of digital systems. It is organized so that it can be read linearly from front to back, as a…

This book presents an approach based on Linux operating system, including issues such as kernel per se, units use and construction, different types of them, debugging techniques, as well as time management, interruptions, DMA (direct memory access), different buses and…

This text introduces comprehensively the reader to the distance teaching/learning process.
With this purpose, it presents a model of the Distance Education System to be used for understanding its embedded elements: contents, instructional design, communications, interaction, learning environment, and administration.

The area of multi-objective optimization is receiving increasing attention by the comunity of evolutionary computation. In this book the authors present a complete state-of-the art in the field.
