Books in the Advanced Series in Electrical & Computer Engineering series

The third edition presents a unified, up-to-date and detailed account of broadband matching theory and its applications to the design of broadband matching networks and amplifiers.

Reports the Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) system identification. This book contains twelve chapters, focusing on the LPV identification methods for both discrete-time and continuous-time models, using different approaches such as optimization methods for input/output LPV models Identification, set membership methods, and more.

This compendium contains 10 chapters written by world renowned researchers with expertise in semantic computing, genome sequence analysis, biomolecular interaction, time-series microarray analysis, and machine learning algorithms.The salient feature of this book is that it highlights eight types of computational techniques to tackle different biomedical applications. These techniques include unsupervised learning algorithms, principal component analysis, fuzzy integral, graph-based ensemble clustering method, semantic analysis, interolog approach, molecular simulations and enzyme kinetics.The unique volume will be a useful reference material and an inspirational read for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, computer scientists, computational biologists, bioinformatics and biomedical professionals.

With the increasing availability of omics data and mounting evidence of the usefulness of computational approaches to tackle multi-level data problems in bioinformatics and biomedical research in this post-genomics era, computational biology has been playing an increasingly important role in paving the way as basis for patient-centric healthcare.Two such areas are: (i) implementing AI algorithms supported by biomedical data would deliver significant benefits/improvements towards the goals of precision medicine (ii) blockchain technology will enable medical doctors to securely and privately build personal healthcare records, and identify the right therapeutic treatments and predict the progression of the diseases.A follow-up in the publication of our book Computation Methods with Applications in Bioinformatics Analysis (2017), topics in this volume include: clinical bioinformatics, omics-based data analysis, Artificial Intelligence (AI), blockchain, big data analytics, drug discovery, RNA-seq analysis, tensor decomposition and Boolean network.
