What Every Engineer Should Know about Software Engineering

Product Description

Do you… · Use a computer to perform analysis or simulations in your daily work? · Write short scripts or record macros to perform repetitive tasks? · Need to integrate off-the-shelf software into your systems or require multiple applications to work together? · Find yourself spending too much time working the kinks out of your code? · Work with software engineers on a regular basis but have difficulty communicating or collaborating? If any of these sound familiar, then you may need a quick primer in the principles of software engineering. Nearly every engineer, regardless of field, will need to develop some form of software during their career. Without exposure to the challenges, processes, and limitations of software engineering, developing software can be a burdensome and inefficient chore. In What Every Engineer Should Know about Software Engineering, Phillip Laplante introduces the profession of software engineering along with a practical approach to understanding, designing, and building sound software based on solid principles. Using a unique question-and-answer format, this book addresses the issues and misperceptions that engineers need to understand in order to successfully work with software engineers, develop specifications for quality software, and learn the basics of the most common programming languages, development approaches, and paradigms.

Cognitive Radio Technology (Communications Engineering)

Book Description
The FIRST comprehensive book on cognitive radio technology - by one of its PIONEERS!

Product Description
Cognitive radio technology is a smarter, faster, and more efficient way to transmit information to and from fixed, mobile, other wireless communication devices. Cognitive radio builds upon software-defined radio technology. A cognitive radio system is 'aware' of its operating environment and automatically adjusts itself to maintain desired communications-it's like having a trained operator 'inside' the radio making constant adjustments for maximum performance.
Operating frequency, power output, antenna orientation/beamwidth, modulation, and transmitter bandwidth are just a few of the operating parameters that can automatically be adjusted "on the fly" in a cognitive radio system. Fette has constructed a cutting-edge volume that hits all of the important issues including research, management, and support. Cognitive techniques will be discussed such as position and network awareness, infrastructure and physical and link layer concerns. Though still a nascent technology, cognitive radio is being pushed by the US military and for mission-critical civilian communications (such as emergency and public safety services). *The first book on a revolutionary technology that will be critical to military, emergency, and public safety communications *A multi-contributed volume written by the leaders in this exciting new area *Describes the location-determination capabilities of cognitive radio (the precise location of all units in a cognitive radio network can be determined in real time)

Reverse Engineering: An Industrial Perspective

Product Description

Reverse engineering is the process of discovering the technological principles of an object or component through analysis of its structure and function. Such analysis can then be used to redesign the object very quickly using computer-aided design in concert with rapid-manufacturing processes to produce small numbers of components adapted to the needs of a particular customer. This way of working has huge benefits of speed and flexibility over traditional mass-production-based design and manufacturing processes.
This edited collection of essays from world-leading academic and industrial authors yields insight into all aspects of reverse engineering:
• The methods of reverse engineering analysis are covered, with special emphasis on the investigation of surface and internal structures.
• Frequently-used hardware and software are assessed and advice given on the most suitable choice of system.
• Rapid prototyping is introduced and its relationship with successful reverse engineering is discussed.
• Importantly, legal matters surrounding reverse engineering are addressed as are other barriers to the adoption of these techniques.
• Applications of reverse engineering in three significant areas: automotive, aerospace, and medical engineering are reported in depth.
Reverse Engineering is a "must have" title for anyone working with advanced modern manufacturing technologies, either with a view to researching and improving them further or to making their company leaner and more agile in a competitive manufacturing marketplace.

Finite Element Methods for Engineering Sciences: Theoretical Approach and Problem Solving Techniques

Finite Element Methods for Engineering Sciences: Theoretical Approach and Problem Solving Techniques
By Joel Chaskalovic


Publisher: Springer
Number Of Pages: 267
Publication Date: 2008-11
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 3540763422
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9783540763420
Binding: Hardcover

Product Description:
This self-tutorial offers a concise yet thorough grounding in the mathematics necessary for successfully applying FEMs to practical problems in science and engineering. The unique approach first summarizes and outlines the finite-element mathematics in general and then, in the second and major part, formulates problem examples that clearly demonstrate the techniques of functional analysis via numerous and diverse exercises. The solutions of the problems are given directly afterwards. Using this approach, the author motivates and encourages the reader to actively acquire the knowledge of finite-element methods instead of passively absorbing the material, as in most standard textbooks. The enlarged English-language edition, based on the original French, also contains a chapter on the approximation steps derived from the description of nature with differential equations and then applied to the specific model to be used. Furthermore, an introduction to tensor calculus using distribution theory offers further insight for readers with different mathematical backgrounds.
