Wavelet analysis is among the newest additions to the arsenals of mathematicians, scientists, and engineers, and offers common solutions to diverse problems. However, students and professionals in some areas of engineering and science, intimidated by the mathematical background necessary to explore this subject, have been unable to use this powerful tool. The first book on the topic for readers with minimal mathematical backgrounds, Wavelet Analysis with Applications to Image Processing provides a thorough introduction to wavelets with applications in image processing. Unlike most other works on this subject, which are often collections of papers or research advances, this book offers studen...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Information Systems, Technology and Management, ICISTM 2009, held in Ghaziabad, India, in March 2009 The 30 revised full papers presented together with 4 keynote papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 79 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on storage and retrieval systems; data mining and classification; managing digital goods and services; scheduling and distributed systems; advances in software engineering; case studies in information management; algorithms and workflows; authentication and detection systems; recommendation and negotiation; secure and multimedia systems; as well as 14 extended poster abstracts.
This book presents an overview on security and privacy issues in dynamic sensor networks and Internet of Things (IoT) networks and provides a novel tamper evident technique to counter and defend against these security related issues. The mission of this book is to explain the evolution of techniques and strategies in securing information transfer and storage thus facilitating a digital transition towards the modern tamper evident systems. The goal is also to aid business organizations that are dependent on the analysis of the large volumes of generated data in securing and addressing the associated growing threat of attackers relentlessly waging attacks and the challenges in protecting the confidentiality, integrity and provenance of data. The book also provides a comprehensive insight into the secure communication techniques and tools that have evolved and the impact they have had in supporting and flourishing the business through the cyber era. This book also includes chapters that discuss the most primitive encryption schemes to the most recent use of homomorphism in ensuring the privacy of the data thus leveraging greater use of new technologies like cloud computing and others.
This book provides a Mathematical Theory of Distributed Sensor Networks. It introduces the Mathematical & Computational Structure by discussing what they are, their applications and how they differ from traditional systems. It also explains how mathematics are utilized to provide efficient techniques implementing effective coverage, deployment, transmission, data processing, signal processing, and data protection within distributed sensor networks. Finally, it discusses some important challenges facing mathematics to get more incite to the multidisciplinary area of distributed sensor networks. -This book will help design engineers to set up WSN-based applications providing better use of reso...
We have come to know that our ability to survive and grow as a nation to a very large degree depends upon our scientific progress. Moreover, it is not enough simply to keep abreast of the rest of the world in scientific matters. 1 We must maintain our leadership. President Harry Truman spoke those words in 1950, in the aftermath of World War II and in the midst of the Cold War. Indeed, the scientific and engineering leadership of the United States and its allies in the twentieth century played key roles in the successful outcomes of both World War II and the Cold War, sparing the world the twin horrors of fascism and totalitarian communism, and fueling the economic prosperity that followed. Today, as the United States and its allies once again find themselves at war, President Truman’s words ring as true as they did a half-century ago. The goal set out in the Truman Administration of maintaining leadership in science has remained the policy of the U.S. Government to this day: Dr. John Marburger, the Director of the Office of Science and Technology (OSTP) in the Executive Office of the President made remarks to that effect during his confirmation hearings in October 2 2001.
