Embedded Control for Mobile Robotic Applications
Leena Vachhani, Pranjal Vyas, Arunkumar G. K.
August 2022
In Embedded Control for Mobile Robotic Applications, a distinguished trio of researchers delivers an authoritative and fulsome resource for understanding embedded control and robotics. The book includes coverage of a variety of embedded platforms, their use in controller implementation, stability analyses of designed controllers, and two new approaches for designing embedded controllers.
Cyber-physical Systems: Theory, Methodology, and Applications
Pedro H. J. Nardelli
May 2022
Cyber-physical Systems: Theory, Methodology, and Applications is a unique theoretical-methodological guide to assessing systems where complex information processing defines the behavior of physical processes. Using a systematic approach, the book describes the fundamentals of cybernetics, complexity sciences, system engineering, concepts of data and information, the data dissemination process, graph theory, and more. Readers are provided with the general theory, methodological framework, and analytical tools to assess and design CPS for applications in transport, energy, communication, health care, the military, and industry.
Massive Connectivity: Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access to High Performance Random Access
Jinho Choi
July 2022
Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has held much interest due to its ability to provide a higher spectral efficiency—such as more bits per unit bandwidth in Hertz—than other, orthogonal multiple access schemes. The majority of this research focuses on the application of NOMA to downlink channels (from base station to users) in cellular systems as its use for uplink (users to base station) is somewhat circumscribed. However, NOMA has recently been employed in contention-based uplink access, which has shown an improvement in performance that allows an increase in the number of users that can be supported. As a result, NOMA is promising for machine-type communication (MTC) in 5G systems and beyond, making it a key enabler of the Internet of Things (IoT).
SAR Image Analysis – A Computational Statistics Approach: With R Code, Data, and Applications
Alejandro C. Frery, Jie Wu, Luis Gomez
July 2022
In SAR Image Analysis — A Computational Statistics Approach, an accomplished team of researchers delivers a practical exploration of how to use statistics to extract information from SAR imagery. The authors discuss various models, supply sample data and code, and explain theoretical aspects of SAR image analysis that are highly relevant to practitioners and students.
Unlocking Agile’s Missed Potential
Robert Webber
July 2022
Agile has not delivered on its promises. The business side expected faster time to market, but they still experience the long delays of bloated releases. Engineers thought they would be given time to build the product right the first time, but they are rushed under pressure to deliver new features within impossible schedules. What went wrong?
