Principles Of Digital Communication: A Top-Down Approach
by Bixio RimoldiThis comprehensive and accessible text teaches the fundamentals of digital communication via a top-down-reversed approach, specifically formulated for a one-semester course. The unique approach focuses on the transmission problem and develops knowledge of receivers before transmitters. In doing so it cuts straight to the heart of the digital communication problem, enabling students to learn quickly, intuitively, and with minimal background knowledge. Beginning with the decision problem faced by a decoder and going on to cover receiver designs for different channels, hardware constraints, design trade-offs, convolutional coding, Viterbi decoding, and passband communication, detail is given on system-level design as well as practical applications in engineering. All of this is supported by numerous worked examples, homework problems, and MATLAB simulation exercises to aid self-study, providing a solid basis for students to specialize in the field of digital communication and making it suitable for both traditional and flipped classroom teaching.

Datenschutz – Konzepte, Algorithmen und Anwendung: Werkzeuge Zum Datenschutz Im Alltag
by Markus Von RimschaDaten sind eine wichtige Ressource des 21. Jahrhunderts. Das stellt Softwareentwickler vor die Aufgabe, Anwendungen schon bei der Entwicklung sicherer zu machen. Aber auch Endanwender können viel tun, um ihre Daten vor unerwünschten Zugriffen zu schützen. Wie aber kann ich vertraulich kommunizieren? Was ist zu tun, wenn ein Dienst-Anbieter gehackt wurde? Wie kann ich Risiken minimieren? Dieses Buch zeigt, wie sich Nutzer in der vernetzten Welt bewegen können, ohne den Schutz der Privatsphäre aufzugeben oder Geschäftsgeheimnisse preiszugeben. Es vermittelt die wichtigsten technischen Konzepte, mit denen sich vertrauliche Daten schützen lassen. Leser erarbeiten sich mit dem Buch das nötige Know-how – Spezialkenntnisse werden dabei nicht vorausgesetzt.Im ersten Teil werden die wichtigsten Algorithmen vorgestellt, die Softwareentwickler zur Verschlüsselung von Daten einsetzen können. Grundlegende Konzepte wie die symmetrische Verschlüsselung mit Rijndael oder asymmetrische Verschlüsselung mit RSA und McEliece werden detailliert bis hin zum lauffähigen Beispiel beschrieben. Während der erste Teil des Buchs Kryptographie-Einsteiger fokussiert, stehen im zweiten Teil die Endanwender im Mittelpunkt. Leser erfahren, wie sie sich bei der Ersteinrichtung eines neuen Geräts, der Vergabe von Passwörtern, beim Online-Banking und anderen typischen Alltagssituationen vor dem unerwünschten Abschöpfen ihrer Daten schützen können.

Telepresence in Training
by Jean-Luc RinaudoThe different forms of telepresence in education, in distance learning, in student support, in the use of learning environments or even at the heart of robot systems, are developed in universities and higher education facilities specializing in professional training. They constitute opportunities to reform arguments and give rise to important questions: how should we think about the hierarchy of presence and absence in these techniques in order to make possible “the presence of the absent”? What is the effect on mediation processes? On the perception of the body and on identity? How does it transform collaborative work? Telepresence in Training brings together research that attempts to answer these questions by using studies and practical supports from higher education, with regards to teacher training and telepresence robots in France, Belgium, Switzerland and Quebec.
JavaScript Object Programming
by Martin RinehartThis brief book explains the advantages of the object model, inheritance, both classical and prototypical, and shows how these concepts can be implemented in JavaScript. It also shows how object programming (OP) opens a new world of design possibilities that go far beyond inheritance. This book will help the intermediate JavaScript programmer learn to use both types of inheritance. For classical inheritance, it is accompanied by a substantial online system (a windowing UI library) that shows classical inheritance at its best. The same system shows how OP "capabilities" can eliminate much of the need for inheritance. For experienced JavaScript programmers, this book shows why most of the old views of JavaScript's inheritance have not done it justice. JavaScript classes inherit from JavaScript's prototypes, a fact that makes JavaScript's prototypes, when used correctly, functional equivalents to C++ classes (not to prototypes in true prototypal languages, like Self). JavaScript's object programming (not inheritance) is what separates it from classical OOP languages like C++ and Java. Most important, basing inheritance on JavaScript's prototypal chain is possible, but is not the best choice for prototypal inheritance or classical inheritance. What you'll learn What are objects, JavaScript objects and object programming What is and how to use inheritance and JavaScript inheritance as well as inheritance alternatives How to design for JavaScript What are and how to use OO principles in JavaScript How to use Constructors with JavaScript and more Who this book is for This book is for both intermediate and advanced JavaScript and Web development programmers. Any programmer will understand the concepts and any JavaScript programmer should understand all of the concepts in this book. The code there shows examples of the concepts discussed. Its immediate usefulness with be with intermediate and advanced JavaScript and Web development programmers. Table of Contents 1. Objects 2. JavaScript Objects 3. Object Programming 4. Inheritance 5.

Telling Stories
by Ben RinzlerFrom System Designers to Top Management, Everyone loves a good story Once upon a time, it was well understood that stories teach better than plain facts. Why then are most software requirements documents a baffling hodge-podge of diagrams, data dictionaries, and bullet points, held together by little more than a name and a staple? Telling Stories teaches you to combine proven standards of requirements analysis with the most ancient and effective tool for sharing information, the narrative. Telling Stories simplifies and refines the classic methods of Structured Analysis, providing organization, design, and old-fashioned writing advice. Whether you?re just getting started or an experienced requirements writer, Telling Stories can help you turn dull, detailed material into an engaging, logical, and readable story, a story that can make the difference for your project and your career. Learn why readers believe and remember what they learn from stories Work with team members to gather content, tell their stories, and win their support Use stories to find every requirement Create diagrams that almost tell the story on their own (while looking clear and professional) Explain everything important about a process Use precise language to remove the ambiguity from requirements Write a forceful executive summary that stands on its own and sells a project to senior management Summarize often to keep the reader focused on key issues Structure the document so every part has a clear place and purpose
Nanometer CMOS Sigma-Delta Modulators for Software Defined Radio
by Rocío Del Río José M. Rosa Alonso MorgadoThis book presents innovative solutions for the implementation of Sigma-Delta Modulation (SDM) based Analog-to-Digital Conversion (ADC), required for the next generation of wireless hand-held terminals. These devices will be based on the so-called multi-standard transceiver chipsets, integrated in nanometer CMOS technologies. One of the most challenging and critical parts in such transceivers is the analog-digital interface, because of the assorted signal bandwidths and dynamic ranges that can be required to handle the A/D conversion for several operation modes. This book describes new adaptive and reconfigurable SDM ADC topologies, circuit strategies and synthesis methods, specially suited for multi-standard wireless telecom systems and future Software-defined-radios (SDRs) integrated in nanoscale CMOS. It is a practical book, going from basic concepts to the frontiers of SDM architectures and circuit implementations, which are explained in a didactical and systematic way. It gives a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art performance, challenges and practical solutions, providing the necessary insight to implement successful design, through an efficient design and synthesis methodology. Readers will learn a number of practical skills - from system-level design to experimental measurements and testing.
