Advanced Parallel Processing Technologies
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Symposium on Advanced Parallel Processing Technologies, APPT 2011, held in Shanghai, China, in September 2011. The 13 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 40 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on parallel distributed system architectures, architecture, parallel application and software, distributed and cloud computing.
VLSI-SoC: Design Trends
This book contains extended and revised versions of the best papers presented at the 28th IFIP WG 10.5/IEEE International Conference on Very Large Scale Integration, VLSI-SoC 2020, held in Salt Lake City, UT, USA, in October 2020.* The 16 full papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from the 38 papers (out of 74 submissions) presented at the conference. The papers discuss the latest academic and industrial results and developments as well as future trends in the field of System-on-Chip (SoC) design, considering the challenges of nano-scale, state-of-the-art and emerging manufacturing technologies. In particular they address cutting-edge research fields like low-power design of RF, analog and mixed-signal circuits, EDA tools for the synthesis and verification of heterogenous SoCs, accelerators for cryptography and deep learning and on-chip Interconnection system, reliability and testing, and integration of 3D-ICs. *The conference was held virtually.
Mobile Computing, Applications, and Services
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Mobile Computing, Applications, and Services (MobiCASE 2015) held in Berlin, Germany, in November 2015. The 16 full and 4 poster papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 43 submissions, and are presented together with 4 papers from the First Workshop on Situation Recognition by Mining Temporal Information (SIREMETI 2015). The conference papers cover the following topics: intelligent caching, activity recognition and crowdsourcing, mobile frameworks, middleware, interactive applications and mobility.
Cache Replacement Policies
This book summarizes the landscape of cache replacement policies for CPU data caches. The emphasis is on algorithmic issues, so the authors start by defining a taxonomy that places previous policies into two broad categories, which they refer to as coarse-grained and fine-grained policies. Each of these categories is then divided into three subcategories that describe different approaches to solving the cache replacement problem, along with summaries of significant work in each category. Richer factors, including solutions that optimize for metrics beyond cache miss rates, that are tailored to multi-core settings, that consider interactions with prefetchers, and that consider new memory technologies, are then explored. The book concludes by discussing trends and challenges for future work. This book, which assumes that readers will have a basic understanding of computer architecture and caches, will be useful to academics and practitioners across the field.
Functional and Technical Textiles
Functional and Technical Textiles covers recent advances in technology, properties and performance of high-tech yarns and structures and their applications in different sectors of the smart and technical textile fields. Applications, including many that go beyond apparel, where high tech and functional structural fabrics are used as reinforcements for composites, medical implants and geotextiles are covered. The book also describes the latest technologies for producing versatile products for these diversified applications. Finally, the book makes a survey of the latest research in technical textiles and its various structures, properties and applications in composites, medical textiles, geotextiles, industrial textiles, and more. - Draws on the latest industry innovations for the production of new smart and technical textile functionality - Explains best practice for testing and for the quality control of technical textiles - Provides definitions of key terminologies used in the field and explains the differences between smart and technical textiles
Consumer Behaviour
Intended for European students, this work presents the issues, illustrative examples, data and research concerning European consumer markets and behaviour, while retaining material from the US and covering the other major global markets. The text utilizes a five-part "wheel" structure, which moves from the micro- to the macro- level. It expands in focus and coverage from individual consumers and their internal dynamics, through group and household consumption decisions, to larger social structures/sub-cultures, and finally mass cultures consumption activities.
Review of Marketing Research
This book provides current, comprehensive, state-of-the-art articles in review of marketing research. It describes a detailed framework for consumer action in terms of automaticity, purposiveness, and self-regulation. The book presents a review of affective forecasting and misforecasting.
The Law of Good People
This book argues that overcoming people's inability to recognize their own wrongdoing is the most important but regrettably neglected area of the behavioral approach to law.
Conceiving the Goddess
Conceiving the Goddess is an exploration of goddess cults in South Asia that embodies research on South Asian goddesses in various disciplines. The theme running through all the contributions, with their multiple approaches and points of view, is the concept of appropriation, whereby one religious group adopts a religious belief or practice not formerly its own. What is the motivation behind this? Are such actions attempts to dominate, or to resist the domination of others, or to adapt to changing social circumstances - or perhaps simply to enrich the religious experience of a group's members? In examining these questions, Conceiving the Goddess considers a range of settings: a Jain goddess lurking in a Brahminical temple, the fraught relationship between the humble Camār caste and the river goddess Gaṅgā, the mutual appropriation of disciple and goddess in the tantric exercises of Kashmiri Śaivism, and the alarming self-decapitation of the fierce goddess Chinnamastā
