"This book focuses on the use of error control codes (ECCs) to improve on-chip interconnect reliability. Coverage includes detailed description of key issues in NOC error control faced by circuit and system designers, as well as practical error control techniques to minimize the…
The interaction of the solar and heat radiation with the atmosphere and surface is the subject of the book. It is useful also for wide circle scientists involved in environmental studies. The book contains the description of 17 computer studying programs supporting different top…
The role the Handbook of Computational Chemistry is threefold. It is primarily intended to be used as a guide that navigates the user through the plethora of computational methods currently in use; it explains their limitations and advantages; and it provides various examples of…
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Parallel Computing Technologies, PaCT 2009, held in Novosibirsk, Russia on August 31-September 4, 2009. The 34 full papers presented together with 2 invited papers and 7 poster papers were carefully re…
The LNCS journal Transactions on Computational Science reflects recent developments in the field of Computational Science, conceiving the field not as a mere ancillary science but rather as an innovative approach supporting many other scientific disciplines. The journal focuses …
The Critical Infrastructure Protection Survey recently released by Symantec found that 53% of interviewed IT security experts from international companies experienced at least ten cyber attacks in the last five years, and financial institutions were often subject to some of the …
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 14th International Workshop on Security Protocols, held in Cambridge, UK, in March 2006. The 21 revised full papers presented together with edited transcriptions of some of the discussions following the presen…
