The book intends to address the important aspects of high-performance signal processing with a focus on the recent development of VLSI technology for signal processing.
The editors collect much of all the research efforts and findings that have made high…

In this paper we show an algorithm for dynamic reconfiguration of distributed applications based on the mobile agent model. We also show that the proposed algorithm can be easily implemented in the IPL language, a language with several abstractions for…

Requirements Engineering is the key issue for the development of Software Systems, that meet the expectations of their customers and users, are delivered on time, and are developed within budget.
This book intends to provide the state of the art…

In this paper, a method for representing scalar functions on volumes is presented. The method is based on wavelets and it can be used for representing volumetric data (geometric or scalar) defifined on non structured grids. The basic contribution is…

The objective of this research is to develop a tool for the generation of 3D objects modeled with flexible materials, with visco-elastic or inelastic characteristics, similar to the plasticine. It is desirable to prioritize the simplicity of the interface with…

The two volumes attempt to render a self-contained idea of the state of the art of cluster computing by the year 1999. In the whole, thirty-six articles are presented in Vol. 1 and twenty-nine articles in Vol.2. In each volume,…

This book provides an excellent foundation for the principles of database and data management. It explains some of the more difficult concepts fairly well. The book is meant for an introductory course in database management which is usually required as…

Designed for a one-year course on DSP, the book Digital Signal Processing, A Computer Based Approach aims to give seniors or first-year graduate students strong foundations of the analysis and design of discrete-time systems for digital signal processing. Anyway, is…

A book that describes and applies Software Engineering methods according to the state of the art of the subject matter; it is integrated with a proper exemplification and evolves as each topic is introduced. The material is designed for undergraduates…

This paper presents a proposal for an architecture that integrates knowledge discovery systems (automatic acquisition) and knowledge based systems (experts systems). This work formulates considerations over the viability of the implementation of this architecture according to the advance of the…
