Books in the Chapman & Hall/CRC Computer and Information Science Series series

Focuses on the major areas of real-time and embedded systems. This title examines real-time scheduling and resource management issues and explores the programming languages, paradigms, operating systems, and middleware for these systems. It also presents challenges encountered in wireless sensor networks and offers ways to solve these problems.

Going beyond, yet thoroughly rooted to theory, this book provides a comprehensive look at the algorithms that can produce quality Delaunay meshes through a paradigm called the Delaunay refinement. It describes meshing algorithms that can be built on the Delaunay refinement paradigm along with the involved mathematical analysis.

Covers advanced topics in scheduling, assembling researchers from various relevant disciplines to facilitate fresh insights. This title provides introductory material, with tutorials and algorithms, and examines classical scheduling problems. It explores scheduling models that originate in areas such as computer science and operations research.

Featuring approaches that draw from disciplines such as artificial intelligence and cognitive modeling, this title describes technologies and applications that address a range of practical problems, including military planning and command, military and foreign intelligence, antiterrorism and domestic security, and simulation and training systems.

Contains theoretical and philosophical discussions, pseudocodes for algorithms, and computing paradigms that illustrate how computational techniques can solve complex problems, simulate nature, explain natural phenomena, and allow the development of new computing technologies.

Surveying the progress made in field of computational biology, this book covers various techniques and methodologies. With discussions ranging from fundamental concepts to practical applications, it details the algorithms necessary to solve novel problems and manage the massive amounts of data housed in biological databases throughout the world.
