This book is a groundbreaking resource that covers both algorithms and technologies of interactive videos. The book deals mainly with low-level semi-automatic and full-automatic processing of the video content for intelligent human computer interaction.

This book is a guide which details a wide variety of components used in mobile communications, and in particular focuses on non-volatile memories. It was inspired by the emergence of the conducting line of the non-volatile memory in the wireless system.

This book offers an extended description of continuous-time signals related to signals and systems. Presenting bandlimited and analytic signals, the book reviews the methods of their description, transformation (by Hilbert transform), and sampling.

This book reveals the state-of-the-art in wireless ad-hoc networking. It further discusses some of the key research topics that are expected to promote and accelerate the commercial application of these networks (e.g., MAC, routing, QoS, optimization issues, service discovery, traffic models, mobility, handovers, security).

Deals with the synchronization techniques for chaotic communication systems. This book presents a solution to the problem of robust chaotic synchronization by presenting fully synchronized, highly secure, chaos based DS-CDMA system. It explains the two concepts and demonstrates how they link into chaotic communication systems.

This work offers students at all levels a description of linear, nonlinear, time-invariant, and time-varying electronic continuous-time systems.

This is the world's first edited book on independent component analysis (ICA)-based blind source separation (BSS) of convolutive mixtures of speech.

Optical Transmission represents a wide set of visions of researchers who are active in the actual research scene in Europe. The trends on research are in this book presented by one of the widest networks of excellence put together in Europe in the field of optical networking (more than 40 Research institutions were involved).

Multirate Statistical Signal Processing introduces a statistical theory for extracting information from related signals with different sampling rates. Further, it allows for the formulation and solution of new problems: spectrum estimation, time-delay estimation and sensor fusion in the realm of multirate signal processing.
