This book is an introduction to Ada 95. It uses an example-driven approach which gradually develops small trivial programs into large case-study type programs. The main emphasis of this book is on maintenance problems, and using object-oriented technology to write maintainable, extensible programs. ...
In the next generation of wireless communication systems, there will be a need for the rapid
deployment of independent mobile users. Significant examples include establishing survivable, efficient,
dynamic communication for emergency operations, disaster relief efforts, and military networks. Such

obot control, a subject aimed at making robots behave as desired, has been
extensively developed for more than two decades. Among many books being
published on this subject, a common feature is to treat a robot as a single
system that is to be controlled by a variety of control algorithms depending ...
Recently millimeter-wave bands have been postu-
lated as a means to accommodate the foreseen extreme bandwidth
demands in vehicular communications, which result from the
dissemination of sensory data to nearby vehicles for enhanced
environmental awareness and improved safety level. However, the
lite ...
This thesis is about wireless communication in shared radio spectrum. Its origin and
motivation is ideally represented by the two quotations from above. In this thesis, the
support of Quality-of-Service (QoS) in cognitive radio networks is analyzed. New
approaches to distributed coordination of cogn ...
Following chapter introduces the mobile communication, gives a short history of wireless
communication evolution, and highlights some application scenarios predestined for the
use of mobile devices. Cellular and wireless based systems related to different generations
of mobile communication, includi ...
It is more than a decade since GSM was first commercially available. After some unexpected delay, it
seems that finally UMTS is here to stay as a 3G system standardised by 3GPP, at least for another ten
years. UMTS will enable multi-service, multi-rate and flexible IP native-based mobile technologie ...
Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is witnessing a recent explosion of
development in both industry and academia. A number of applications include supply
chain management, electronic payments, RFID passports, environmental monitoring
and control, office access control, intelligent labe ...
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- ...
