IMVIP conferences bring together academics and practitioners to share cutting-edge research in image processing. These proceedings contain papers from the 14th event, hosted by the University of Limerick, Ireland in 2010.
I See Me, You See Me
This book showcases the state of the art in eye tracking research by bringing together work from a wide range of application areas. This peer-reviewed selection of chapters provides an overview of the latest research that will inspire and guide students and developers.
Ways Ahead
This book documents the first international Csound conference, featuring papers, interviews with developers and musicians, and exclusive new articles. Organized into five parts—History, Development, Music, Usage, and Education—it reflects the project’s diversity.
This book presents a novel approach, Design for Reliability Predictability (DRP). DRP helps predict system reliability from its components and their interactions by integrating precise design, specification, and documentation. A case study demonstrates its application.
Post-editing of Machine Translation
A surge of interest in post-editing, the oldest form of human-machine cooperation for translation, is fundamentally changing the industry. This volume compiles work by researchers, developers, and practitioners on this essential, evolving practice.
Biometric systems hide many pitfalls that can lead to major security weaknesses and privacy threats. This book showcases a collection of comprehensive references from eminent researchers, providing concise coverage of state-of-the-art solutions.
Wallace examines the social, technical and educational implications of a society where hyper-reality, artificial intelligence and robotics may be at the centre of the new online spaces that will surely further shape us into an unknown future.
In dynamic ad-hoc networks, link failures lead to unreliable and inefficient data transmission. This work proposes LR-EE-AOMDV, a novel extension of the AOMDV routing protocol, to find multiple link-reliable, energy-efficient paths for robust data transmission.
Digital Platformization and Effects on Corporate Branding
This book reflects on digital platforms, their added value for sustainability through corporate branding, and the challenge of assessing performance in the sports, cultural, and creative sectors as platform-based models become embedded in everyday life.
First Generation Mainframes
This volume describes the IBM computer systems that influenced architecture in the 1950s and 1960s. These modular systems featured a common architecture for peripherals, the first operating systems, and groundbreaking software like the FORTRAN programming language.
This book provides theory on artificial intelligence techniques and insight on application development. It is for academicians, practitioners, and students seeking a deep understanding of the latest paradigms in AI to develop intelligent systems for the benefit of humanity.
Trusted Routing Mechanisms
As our business and private lives rely on computing systems, digital security is imperative. This book offers solutions that ensure the integrity and confidentiality of network traffic by protecting data from third parties.
Navigating the Future
This book explores artificial intelligence’s dual role as a solution and a risk for humanity’s most pressing challenges. It discusses the ethical governance needed to guide AI’s transformative potential towards a sustainable, equitable, and peaceful future.
High-Performance Computing and Artificial Intelligence
This essential resource explores the synergy between High-Performance Computing (HPC) and AI. Learn how HPC accelerates AI to tackle complex problems, while AI optimizes HPC systems, driving breakthroughs in healthcare, climate science, finance, and manufacturing.
This book offers thought experiments exploring digital transformation’s disruptions to technology, knowledge, and human identity. The essays are “short cuts”—brief, bold excursions that challenge conventional paths and invite readers into uncertain yet revelatory terrain.
What if the future of construction could be redefined? Concrete is a top carbon emitter, and optimizing its composition has been a challenge for decades. This book is a groundbreaking exploration of how machine learning can revolutionize concrete mixtures for a demanding world.
Unleash Python’s potential in electrical and electronics engineering. This guide gives you the tools to tackle real-world problems, from data analysis to test equipment automation. Each chapter combines theory with practical examples to help you gain hands-on experience.
Intelligent and Smart Computing
Explore the latest advances in intelligent computing and their application to real-life problems like energy management, healthcare, and autonomous vehicles. Case studies reveal the effectiveness of smart solutions, making this book valuable for researchers and practitioners.
Birthing the Computer
Birthing the Computer examines the evolution of computer architecture, from magnetic drums to cores and the first transistors. These second-generation machines introduced key concepts in architecture and system software that are found in every computer system today.
This book highlights the current state of the art of cybersecurity, covering key areas from systems design and management to emerging technology trends. It will appeal to practitioners, faculty, and students in cybersecurity, information technology, and computer science.
