Introduction to Computing Systems: From bits & gates to C & beyond, now in its second edition, is designed to give students a better understanding of computing early in their college careers in order to give them a stronger foundation for later courses. The book is in two parts: (a) the underlying structure of a computer, and (b) programming in a high level language and programming methodology. To understand the computer, the authors introduce the LC-3 and provide the LC-3 Simulator to give students hands-on access for testing what they learn. To develop their understanding of programming and programming methodology, they use the C programming language. The book takes a "motivated" bottom-up...
This softcover supplement is intended for student use as an easy reference guide for Appendices A, D & E. These are the Appendices on The LC-3 ISA, The C Programming Language, and Useful Tables respectively.
Digital Design and Computer Architecture, Second Edition, takes a unique and modern approach to digital design, introducing the reader to the fundamentals of digital logic and then showing step by step how to build a MIPS microprocessor in both Verilog and VHDL. This new edition combines an engaging and humorous writing style with an updated and hands-on approach to digital design. It presents new content on I/O systems in the context of general purpose processors found in a PC as well as microcontrollers found almost everywhere. Beginning with digital logic gates and progressing to the design of combinational and sequential circuits, the book uses these fundamental building blocks as the ba...
ADVANCED COMPUTING APPLICATIONS, DATABASES AND NETWORKS focuses on new developments and advances in three major areas of Computer Science. The first part presents some significant contributions and surveys major research areas of Advanced Computing Applications viz. Natural Language Processing, Medical Imaging, Soft Computing Methodologies and a wide variety of its application domains. The second part explains different approaches towards development of Unified Theoretical Model for Database Mining, Dimension Reduction of higher dimensional data and the applicability of Soft Computing Methodologies in Data Mining and Clustering. The third part provides the approaches taken to address the challenging problems in the areas of Wired and Wireless Networks. The chapters in this volume are representative of recent research efforts and advances in the area of Advanced Computing Applications, Databases and Networks, covering both theoretical and application issues.
A leading expert on drug use illuminates the factors that permit some people to use such highly addictive and dangerous substances as alcohol, marijuana, psychedelics, and opiates in a controlled fashion. This cogently written work should be of interest to members of the medical community, particularly those who have contact with substance abusers, psychiatrists, sociologists, policymakers, administrators, and interested laypersons...Well worth reading. -- JAMA
AN INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER NETWORKS is a comprehensive text book which is focused and designed to elaborate the technical contents in the light of TCP/IP reference model exploring both digital and analog data communication. Various communication protocols of different layers are discussed along with their pseudo-code. This book covers the detailed and practical information about the network layer alongwith information about IP including IPV6, OSPF, and internet multicasting. It also covers TCP congestion control and emphasizes on the basic principles of fundamental importance concerning the technology and architecture and provides detailed discussion of leading edge topics of data communication, LAN & Network Layer.
Jerome Bruner shows that the basic concepts of science and the humanities can be grasped intuitively at a very early age. Bruner's foundational case for the spiral curriculum has influenced a generation of educators and will continue to be a source of insight into the goals and methods of the educational process.
This book represents the definitive explanation of the literary device of the Key Signifier, a phrase which was coined by the author at the 2005 International Meeting of the Society of Biblical Literature in Singapore. This book serves as a handbook for understanding the literary device and for learning how to identify and use it in one's own composition, work of art, film or TV media.
Now diffused among end-user devices in mobile and wireline networks, the "cloud" is becoming the "fog." This book focuses on the challenges and solutions related to cloud and fog computing for 5G mobile networks and presents novel approaches to the frameworks and schemes that carry out storage, communication, computation, and control in the fog/cloud paradigm. These novel approaches support the Internet of Things (IoT), the efficient provision of heterogeneous 5G mobile services, and emerging applications over future wireless network architectures. Elaborating on the emerging mobile networking paradigms for the 2020 5G time frame, the book discusses recent and new developments, prompting fut...
This undergraduate textbook first introduces basic electronic circuitry before explaining more advanced elements such as the Arithmetic Logic Unit, sequential circuits, and finally microprocessors. In keeping with this integrated and graduated approach, the authors then explain the relationship to first assembly programming, then higher-level languages, and finally computer organisation. Authors use the Raspberry Pi and ARM microprocessors for their explanations The material has been extensively class tested at TU Eindhoven by an experienced team of lecturers and researchers. This is a modern, holistic treatment of well-established topics, valuable for undergraduate students of computer science and electronics engineering and for self-study. The authors use the Raspberry Pi and ARM microprocessors for their explanations.
