The topic of the proposed book is signal compression. The compression (or low bit rate coding) of speech, audio, image and video signals is a key technology for rapidly emerging opportunities in multimedia products and services. The book contains chapters dedicated to the subtop…
"Foreword Steganography is the science and art of covert communications and involves two procedures. First, the required message is concealed in a particular carrier, e.g., image, audio, text, etc., that is called a steganographic cover. The second procedure is concerned with tr…
Drawing on literature from many disciplines and using a theoretical framework developed for the study of environmental commons, Schweik and English examine stages of open-source software (OSS) development, presenting multivariate statistical models of success and abandonment.
"Taking a practical approach to the topic, this text provides a comprehensive and systematic guide to understanding and using pseudo random signals. Pseudo Random Signal Processing: Theory and Application is an essential introduction to the subject for practising electronics eng…
"The new field of optical coding theory helps in designing new classes of optical codes for various coding-based optical applications, such as the well-known optical code division multiple access (CDMA). While there are books on coding theory for wireless communications, there i…
The Second Edition is an updated revision to the authors highly successful and widely used introduction to the principles and application of the statistical theory of signal detection. This book emphasizes those theories that have been found to be particularly useful in practice…

A growing field of inquiry, biosemiotics is a theory of cognition and communication that unites the living and the cultural world. What is missing from this theory, however, is the unification of the information and computational realms of the non-living natural and technical wo…
