Intensive development of digital technologies coincided in time with the beginning
of the new era in telecommunications. It made possible to formalize many proce-
dures of data exchange and to atomize some operations which made providing of

Telecommunications is today widely understood to mean the electrical means of
communicating over a distance. The first form of telecommunications was that of
the Telegraph, which was invented quite independently in 1837 by two scientists,
Wheatstone and Morse. Telegraphy was on a point-to-point unid ...
With the proliferation of cloud computing and Internet online services, more and
more data and computation are migrated to geographical distributed Internet data
centers (IDCs), which can provide reliability, management, and cost benefits.
However, IDC operators encounter several major problems in I ...
Sensors are points ofcontact betweenthe material world ofatoms, mass, andenergy
and the seemingly immaterial world of information, computation, and cognition.
Linking these two domains more tightly yields all sorts of practical benefits, such as

The rapid growth of RFID use in various supply chain operations, which has
arisen from the development of Electronic Product Code (EPC) technology,
has created a need for the consideration of security issues in the adoption of that
technology.
In this new edition of the book, only minor changes were made to the original
nine chapters but three new chapters treat topics of increasing interest to GPS
users and equipment developers. One topic, improving the GPS receiver sensi-
tivity may extend their operations into buildings, which is becom ...
This introductory chapter is devoted to reviewing the fundamental ideas of
control from a multivariable point of view. In some cases, the mathematics
and operations on systems (modelling, pole placement, etc.), as previously
treated in introductory courses and textbooks, convey to the readers an un- ...
In this book for the optimisation of assembly conveyor lines we are dealing with series part production
featured by a medium complexity degree and a medium number of individual components and assembly
technique alternatives. Modern production techniques for medium to large series products or mass
