A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Live smarter! Discover how intelligent environments are revolutionizing industry, home, and office Research on smart environments represents some of the most innovative work being done in computer science, electrical engineering, and information systems today. The interdisciplinary scope of the field integrates aspects of machine learning, human–machine interfacing, wireless networking, mobile communications, sensor networks, and pervasive computing. As research efforts devise intelligent environments for use in homes, offices, classrooms, hospitals, and automobiles, far–reaching applications–from design and architecture to health care issues and software engineering–become increasingly evident. With contributions from leading researchers in a wide array of disciplines, Smart Environments: Technology, Protocols, and Applications presents the state of the art in this emerging field. Important topics covered include: Wireless sensor networks Pervasive technology Middleware Home and office networking and appliances Prediction algorithms Location and estimation techniques Automated decision–making Privacy and security issues Assistive environments for individuals with special needs Future trends Supplementary features include an accompanying Web site and a comprehensive listing of Web sites for smart environment projects. Encompassing both theory and practical implementation, with in–depth discussion of existing applications, Smart Environments is an authoritative resource for practicing engineers and students in the field.

Revue de presse

"…useful [for]….students and researchers in the engineering, computer science, and psychology areas." ( E–STREAMS , May 2006) "…provides encyclopedic coverage of many possible aspects…a nice general overview of different aspects of smart environments." ( Journal of Intelligent & Fuzzy Systems , Vol. 16, No. 3, 2005) "…it was quite important to come up with this book, in order to move this knowledge out of the same loop, and disseminate it to a larger audience, which will benefit from research on smart environments." ( Computing Reviews.com , May 5, 2005) "With contributions from leading researchers in a wide array of disciplines, this book presents the state of the art in this emerging field." ( Computer Magazine , January 2005)
