AUTOMATIQUE

Automatique et procédés chimiques

Sous la direction de Jean-Pierre Corriou-1 vol. (259 p.)-629.802 COR-Hermès science-2001-

"Cet ouvrage traite des méthodes et des outils du génie des procédés en relation avec l'automatique. Il

est basé sur la démarche de conception d'un système automatique en génie des procédés :

modélisation, estimation et identification, conception de la loi de commande." (Résumé de l'éditeur)

Contrôle-commande dans les systèmes complexes

Sous la direction de Mohammed Chadli, Hervé Coppier-1 vol. (404 p.)-629.802 CHA-Hermès Science

publications | Lavoisier-2013-

"Contrôle-commande dans les systèmes complexes se focalise sur l'analyse de la stabilité et la

synthèse des lois de commande. Il part d'exemples de réalisations industrielles qui utilisent les

commandes PFC, IMC, logique floue ou multi-modèle pour illustrer la théorie et la pratique (systèmes

cryogéniques, thermiques, mécaniques, à gaz, etc.). Cet ouvrage présente de nombreuses applications

industrielles originales faisant appel aux outils informatiques, en intégrant, dès la conception, les

problématiques de l'interface homme-machine ou de l'implémentation temps-réel. Ces contraintes

relèvent de l'ordre de l'informatique distribuée associée à l'automatique. Il s'agit, par exemple, de

problèmes liés à l'implémentation d'algorithmes à l'aide d'un PC embarqué limité par la vitesse de son

horloge, à la mesure du vecteur d'observation du système ou au partage du temps de cycle entre le

calcul et l'acquisition des mesures."(Quatrième de couverture)

Robotique flexible

Sous la direction de Mathieu Grossard, Nicolas Chaillet, Stéphane Régnier-1 vol. (XIV-390 p.)-

629.892 GRO-Hermès science publications | Lavoisier-2013-

"Qu’il s’agisse de tâches de préhension versatile aux échelles du micromonde ou bien de tâches de

manipulation fine ou dextre à une échelle dimensionnelle supérieure, la fonction de manipulation

robotique nécessite l’utilisation de systèmes mécatroniques performants et précis. Dans la majorité des

cas, ceux-ci mettent en jeu des mécanismes qui sont caractérisés par des phénomènes mécaniques de

flexibilité. Ces phénomènes sont induits naturellement par l’emploi de certains composants

technologiques constitutifs du système ou par la géométrie de certaines structures élancées. Il peut

alors s’agir de micromanipulateurs à base de matériaux actifs, de bras manipulateurs légers, d’organes

terminaux de préhension très intégrés sur le plan fonctionnel, voire de manipulateurs d’inspiration

anthropomorphe. Aperçu des dernières avancées scientifiques et technologiques en la matière, cet

ouvrage est destiné à toute personne intéressée par le champ de la robotique flexible et plus

particulièrement par la manipulation." (Description de l'éditeur)

Introduction to optimum design

Jasbir S. Arora,...-1 vol. (XVI-880 p.)-620.001 ARO-Elsevier/Academic Press-2012-

"Introduction to Optimum Design is the most widely used textbook in engineering optimization and

optimum design courses. It is intended for use in a first course on engineering design and optimization

at the undergraduate or graduate level within engineering departments of all disciplines, but primarily

within mechanical, aerospace and civil engineering. The basic approach of the text is to describe an

organized approach to engineering design optimization in a rigorous yet simplified manner, illustrate

various concepts and procedures with simple examples, and demonstrate their applicability to

engineering design problems. Formulation of a design problem as an optimization problem is

emphasized and illustrated throughout the text. Excel and MATLAB are featured throughout as

learning and teaching aids. The 3rd edition has been reorganized and enhanced with new material,

making the book even more appealing to instructors regardless of the level they teach the course.

Examples include moving the introductory chapter on Excel and MATLAB closer to the front of the

book and adding an early chapter on practical design examples for the more introductory course, and

including a final chapter on advanced topics for the purely graduate level course." (Editor's Notes)

Ellipsoidal calculus for estimation and control

Alexander Kurzhanski, István Vályi-1 vol. (xv, 321 p.)-629.802 KUR-IIASA | Birkhäuser-1997-

"This book gives an account of an ellipsoidal calculus and ellipsoidal techniques developed by the

authors. The text ranges from a specially developed theory of exact set-valued solutions to the

description of ellipsoidal calculus, related ellipsoidal-based methods and examples worked out with

computer graphics." (Editor's Description)

DOCUMENTATION

L'évaluation de l'information

Sous la direction de Philippe Capet, Thomas Delavallade-1 vol. (301 p.)-025 CAP-Lavoisier | Hermès

science publ.-2013

"Lors de la réception d’une information, nous ne restons jamais passifs : selon son origine et ses

contenus, à partir de nos croyances et convictions personnelles, spontanément ou après réflexion, nous

lui accordons une certaine confiance. Excessive, celle-ci témoigne d’une certaine naïveté, tandis

qu’une défiance absolue confine à la paranoïa ; ces deux attitudes sont symétriquement préjudiciables

à la bonne perception de cette information comme à son usage. Hors de ces deux situations extrêmes,

chacun adopte généralement une position intermédiaire face à une information reçue, selon sa

provenance et sa crédibilité. Encore faut-il comprendre et justifier comment ces jugements sont

conçus, dans quel contexte et à quelle fin. À partir d’approches graduelles offertes par la philosophie,

le renseignement militaire, l’algorithmique puis l’informatique, cet ouvrage présente les concepts de

l’information et de la confiance qui lui est faite, les méthodes que les armées, premières conscientes

du besoin, ont adoptées ou le devraient, les outils pour y aider, et les perspectives qu’ils ouvrent. Au-

delà du contexte militaire, le livre dessine un schéma global de l’évaluation de l’information utilisable

dans bien d’autres domaines tels que l’intelligence économique, et plus largement la veille

informationnelle gouvernementale et d’entreprises." (Quatrième de couverture)

Open Data

-Simon Chignard-1 vol. (191 p.)-025 CHI-Editions Fyp-2012-

"La donnée est au cœur du fonctionnement des territoires. Elle permet d’aider à la décision, d’évaluer

les politiques mises en œuvre ou de faire vivre les services urbains de notre vie quotidienne

(transports, vie culturelle, économie, politique sociale, etc.). L’open data — la donnée ouverte —

mouvement apparu à partir de 2007, consiste en la mise à disposition d’informations publiques brutes

qui ont vocation à être librement accessibles. Cet ouvrage, le premier en France sur ce phénomène,

permet de tout comprendre de l’ouverture des données publiques. Simon Chignard propose une

analyse critique constructive de l’open data, et donne les repères pour pouvoir l’utiliser dans le

contexte français. Il éclaire le lecteur sur ses enjeux, ses limites et ses conséquences. Il montre

comment l’open data est une source d’innovation et en explique les bénéfices attendus. Il révèle la

meilleure manière d’initier et d’animer une démarche d’ouverture de données publiques qui soit

vraiment un levier de croissance, créateur d’emplois et de nouveaux services dans les domaines

économiques, culturels, sociaux et de démocratie locale. Enfin, il questionne notre capacité à vivre

dans un environnement toujours plus riche en données, en applications et en services, pointe les

risques d’un foisonnement d’informations difficile à maîtriser et à rendre pérennes, ainsi que les

possibles dérives d’un fétichisme des chiffres et indicateurs. Tout à la fois théorique et pratique,

critique et stratégique, ce livre est une référence pour comprendre l’open data et une boîte à outils pour

agir." (Quatrième de couverture)

ECONOMIE

Introduction à l'économie européenne

Jean-Christophe Defraigne-1 vol. (626 p.)-330.9 DEF-De Boeck-2013-

"Cet ouvrage offre une analyse pluridisciplinaire de la dynamique d’intégration économique

européenne qui met en évidence les grands enjeux économiques de la construction européenne. Il

utilise des concepts économiques élémentaires, mais prend également en compte des éléments

historiques, institutionnels et géopolitiques indispensables à la compréhension des phénomènes

complexes qui affectent l’économie de l’Union européenne. Il passe en revue le développement des

principales politiques économiques de l’Union européenne : union économique et monétaire, politique

commerciale, politique industrielle, politique de la concurrence, politique de la recherche, politique de

cohésion et élargissements. De nombreux exemples et études de cas précis sont développés de manière

pédagogique de façon à permettre au lecteur de mieux comprendre les nuances du fonctionnement

économique de l’Union européenne et de son marché unique. Cette analyse critique de la construction

européenne du début du 20e siècle à nos jours facilite la mise en perspective et l’analyse prospective

dynamique de l’économie européenne. Cet ouvrage d’introduction est destiné à tous ceux qui veulent

saisir les enjeux de l’économie de l’Union européenne et qui disposent de notions élémentaires

d’économie, qu’ils soient étudiants de différentes disciplines ou praticiens issus des institutions

publiques, des ONG ou du monde de l’entreprise." (Quatrième de couverture)

Les politiques budgétaires dans la crise

Carine Bouthevillain, Gilles Dufrénot, Philippe Frouté... [et al.]-1 vol. (353 p.)-336 BOU-De Boeck-

2013-

"Les politiques budgétaires sont au cœur de la crise d’ampleur inédite qui affecte l’ensemble des

économies avancées. En même temps, la présence accrue des questions de finances publiques dans les

débats économiques se double d’une complexité et d’une urgence nouvelles. Cet ouvrage traite de

l’actualité des politiques budgétaires en répondant à une double originalité : réunir en un seul volume

les principaux arguments théoriques et l’analyse des faits les plus notables de la crise et aborder les

questions de politique budgétaire sous différents angles – macroéconomique, fiscal, institutionnel et

financier – en montrant les multiples interactions entre ces domaines. La démarche des auteurs est

d’éclairer les enjeux actuels et les défis à venir en décryptant des thématiques complexes dans un

langage compréhensible par le grand public. De nombreux exemples concrets permettent au lecteur de

s’approprier des concepts et des mécanismes qui sont au centre des débats entre décideurs nationaux et

internationaux, l’accent étant plus particulièrement mis sur la situation de la zone euro. Chacun des six

chapitres aborde une thématique particulière et permet au lecteur de progresser selon son niveau de

connaissance, avec l’aide d’encadrés approfondissant certains sujets ciblés et de références

bibliographiques permettant d’aller plus loin. Les défis posés par le rôle de la politique budgétaire

pour lisser le cycle économique à court terme, soutenir la croissance et l’emploi à long terme et

concevoir une fiscalité efficace dans la crise sont exposés sans masquer les clivages des divers

courants de pensée économiques. Les clés permettant de comprendre la nouvelle gouvernance

économique européenne instaurée en réponse à la crise sont présentées. Enfin, les deux derniers

chapitres sont consacrés aux interactions entre crise bancaire et crise des dettes souveraines et aux

conséquences des choix effectués pour assurer leur financement dans les pays avancés." (Quatrième de

couverture)

Characteristics. Antennas and Site Considerations for Precise Applications. Cosite Interference Issues

for GPS Antennas on Aircraft and Mitigation Techniques. Adaptive Antenna Arrays and Anti-Jam

Signal Processing Techniques "This practical resource provides a current and comprehensive

treatment of GPS/GNSS antennas, taking into account modernized systems and new and developing

applications. The book presents a number of key applications, describing corresponding receiver

architectures and antenna details. You find important discussions on antenna characteristics, including

theory of operation, gain, bandwidth, polarization, phase center, mutual coupling effects, and

integration with active components. Moreover, you get expert guidance on the design of adaptive

arrays and signal processing techniques used to mitigate interference such as jamming. Addressing

critical GNSS antenna high precision requirements, this in-depth book explains the relationships

between antenna gain, satellite visibility, geometric dilution of precision, and the carrier-to-noise

density ratio. The book delineates requirements for both dual-band and tri-band antennas. You get

detailed coverage of a wide range of antenna designs, including microstrip patch, quadrafilar helix,

axial mode helix, spiral, inverted L, and planar inverted F antennas. Moreover, you find a discussion

on new magnetic “metamaterial” substrates and other dielectric substrate materials. Further, this

comprehensive book presents designs for very compact GNSS antennas for personal handheld devices

and automobiles." (Editor's Description)

Circuit modeling for electromagnetic compatibility

Ian B. Darney-1 vol. (XV-288 p.)-621.382 24 DAR-Scitech Publishing-2013-

"Very simply, electromagnetic interference (EMI) costs money, reduces profits, and generally wreaks

havoc for circuit designers in all industries. This book shows how the analytic tools of circuit theory

can be used to simulate the coupling of interference into, and out of, any signal link in the system

being reviewed. The technique is simple, systematic and accurate. It enables the design of any

equipment to be tailored to meet EMC requirements. Every electronic system consists of a number of

functional modules interconnected by signal links and power supply lines. Electromagnetic

interference can be coupled into and out of every conductor. A review of the construction of the wiring

assemblies and the functions of the signals they carry will allow critical links to be identified. Circuit

modeling can be used to simulate the electromagnetic coupling mechanism of each critical link,

allowing its performance to be analyzed and compared with the formal requirements. Bench testing

during the development of any product will allow any interference problem to be identified and

corrected, long before the manufactured unit is subjected to formal testing." (Editor's Description)

ELECTROTECHNIQUE

Modelling distributed energy resources in energy service networks-

Salvador Acha-1 vol. (XVIII-207 p.)-621.312 ACH-Institution of Engineering and Technology-2013-

"The smart-grid concept can mean many things, however there is a consensus that its objective

involves seamlessly adopting new technologies to existing infrastructures and maximising the use of

resources. Modelling Distributed Energy Resources in Energy Service Networks focuses on modelling

two key infrastructures in urban energy systems with embedded technologies. These infrastructures

are natural gas and electricity networks and the embedded technologies include cogeneration and

electric vehicle devices. The subject is addressed using a holistic modelling framework which serves

as a means to an end; this end being to optimise in a coordinated manner the operation of natural gas

and electrical infrastructures under the presence of distributed energy resources, thus paving the way

in which smart-grids should be managed. The modelling approach developed and presented in this

book, under the name ‘time coordinated optimal power flow’ (TCOPF), functions as a decision maker

entity that aggregates and coordinates the available DERs according to multiple criteria such as energy

prices and utility conditions. The examples prove the TCOPF acts effectively as an unbiased

intermediary entity that manages cost-effective interactions between the connected technologies and

the distribution network operators. Therefore showcasing an integral approach on how to manage new

technologies for the benefit of all stakeholders. In addition, the book contains an innovative

methodology of representing the temporal and spatial elements of electric vehicle mobility via agent

based modelling. This representation is used to better portray how electric vehicles will influence

power flows in electrical networks. Engineers will value the easy to understand and detailed

representation of old and new energy systems via mathematical equations that will allow them to

develop and study their own scenarios of future energy systems." (Editor's Description)

Energy harvesting for autonomous systems

Stephen Beeby, Neil White, editors-1 vol. (IX-292 p.)-621.312 BEE-Artech House-2010-

"This unique resource provides a detailed understanding of the options for harvesting energy from

localized, renewable sources to supply power to autonomous wireless systems. You are introduced to a

variety of types of autonomous system and wireless networks and discover the capabilities of existing

battery-based solutions, RF solutions, and fuel cells. The book focuses on the most promising

harvesting techniques, including solar, kinetic, and thermal energy. You also learn the implications of

the energy harvesting techniques on the design of the power management electronics in a system. This

in-depth reference discusses each energy harvesting approach in detail, comparing and contrasting its

potential in the field" (Editor's Description)

"Les nouveaux paramètres de la compétitivité amènent l'entreprise à capitaliser sur le client grâce à la

valeur ajoutée de ses savoirs en s'appuyant sur une infrastructure évolutive. Cet ouvrage original

expose les processus de CRM (Customer Relationship Management), SCM (Supply Chain

Management) et de KM (Knowledge Management) ainsi qu'une démarche cohérente et complète,

basée sur une méthode de questionnement, pour toute équipe dirigeante convaincue de la nécessité de

changer. Les auteurs s'appuient sur le reengineering profond vécu par IBM." (Résumé de l'éditeur)

Pratiques de la conduite du changement

David Autissier, Jean-Michel Moutot-1 vol. (IV-248 p.)-658.406 AUT-Dunod-2003-

"Les fusions, les restructurations, la mise en œuvre d'une nouvelle stratégie, l'évolution des

technologies, les obligations réglementaires sont autant d'éléments qui propulsent l'entreprise dans la

spirale du changement. Pour rendre opérationnelles ces transformations et modifier les pratiques, les

organisations ont recours à des dispositifs de " conduite du changement ". L'offre des cabinets-conseil

en matière de changement est pléthorique et souvent confuse. Cet ouvrage propose, dans un premier

temps, un panorama critique des approches les plus courantes et une grille de lecture pour faciliter le

choix d'un dispositif véritablement adapté aux besoins de l'entreprise. Pour aider les entreprises à

formaliser le diagnostic de leurs besoins, les auteurs dressent ensuite une typologie des changements et

des leviers d'actions appropriés. Enfin, ils abordent une liste d'outils directement exploitables pour

mener à bien les actions de changement. Parmi ces outils, ils proposent un guide interactif, intitulé

Change Way. Cet ouvrage s'adresse à tous ceux- directions générales, DSI, DRH, chefs de projets,

consultants - qui conduisent les organisations à travers des processus de changement complexes"

Infobésité

Caroline Sauvajol-Rialland-1 vol. (205 p.)-651.7 SAU-Vuibert-2013-

Vous arrive-t-il souvent : de tout interrompre pour un mail ? de recevoir des mails qui ne vous

concernent pas ou qui n'offrent aucun intérêt réel ? de ne plus parvenir à suivre et maîtriser la masse

d'informations dont vous êtes destinataire ? de vous sentir désemparé ou vulnérable devant une panne

informatique ou un bug de votre Smartphone ? Oui ? Rassurez-vous, ce livre est fait pour vous. Vous

êtes en train de développer une "infobésité" ou, en d'autres termes vous êtes en situation de surcharge

informationnelle. Mais vous n'êtes pas seul. Un cadre reçoit aujourd'hui un volume d'informations 10

fois supérieur à ce qu'il recevait il y a 15 ans et produit environ 10% de données de plus chaque année.

Et l'humanité n'est pas en reste en affichant une production d'informations plus importante au cours

des 30 dernières années qu'en 5 000 ans d'histoire. Cet ouvrage s'interroge sur notre relation à

l'information dans un contexte de généralisation du sentiment d'urgence... L'infobésité est-elle une

réalité ou bien un mirage ? L'information serait-elle désormais davantage source de risques et de

contraintes que de création de valeur pour les personnes comme pour les organisations ? Sommes-nous

les victimes consentantes des nouvelles technologies ? (Résumé de l’éditeur)

façonné une entreprise et son siècle, les journalistes Kevin Maney, Steve Hamm et Jeffrey M. O'Brien

font chacun à leur tour le récit des progrès qui illuminent le parcours et transcendent la riche histoire

de cette entreprise. Leurs recherches approfondies leur permettent d'analyser l'impact d'IBM sur les

technologies, l'évolution du concept d'entreprise moderne et le fonctionnement réel de notre planète.

Fait plus passionnant encore, ils mettent en évidence un ensemble captivant d'idées dont les retombées

seront peut-être plus importantes au cours du siècle prochain qu'elles ne l'ont été au cours du siècle

dernier, c'est-à-dire des idées capables - de par leur force - de façonner un futur inattendu et de venir

chambouler nos modes de pensée." (Résume de l'éditeur)

Initiation à la programmation de l'analyse numérique

Gérald Jean-Baptiste-1 vol. (454 p.)-005.1 GER-Cépaduès-2012-

"Axé sur les langages Ocaml, et ERLANG cet ouvrage se veut à la fois pédagogique et pratique.

Chaque chapitre présente un exemple de programmes associés aux méthodes numériques de résolution

de problèmes scientifiques particuliers. L’accent porte sur le paradigme de la programmation

fonctionnelle. Seules les fonctions récursives et les listes y sont employées pour résoudre la méthode

considérée. Le contenu de l’ouvrage est enseigné et fait l’objet de projets dans le cadre de plusieurs

formations de mathématiques appliquées, démontrant que la programmation fonctionnelle s’intègre

totalement à l’univers des calculs scientifiques. L’objectif principal de ce livre est d’abord de fournir à

un public le plus large possible un ouvrage qui pourra servir à comprendre les bases du domaine

fonctionnel et à mettre en œuvre l’application des listes, la récursivité et le pattern-matching afin de

résoudre différents problèmes scientifiques. Les programmes de ces méthodes et techniques ont

vocation à intervenir dans la quasi-totalité des domaines de la science ; ce livre s’adresse donc

particulièrement aux étudiants scientifiques d'IUT ou de la formation continue, aux élèves d’école

d’Ingénieur confrontés au codage d’un problème numérique, aux doctorants en recherche d’une

solution sur un sujet particulier et une information aux enseignants." (Quatrième de couverture)

Recommender systems for the social web

José J. Pazos Arias, Ana Fernández vilas, Rebeca P. Díaz-1 vol. (XIX-222 p.)-004.65 PAZ-Springer-

2012-

[Localisé au Département Informatique]

"The recommendation of products, content and services cannot be considered newly born, although its

widespread application is still in full swing. While its growing success in numerous sectors, the

progress of the Social Web has revolutionized the architecture of participation and relationship in the

Web, making it necessary to restate recommendation and reconciling it with Collaborative Tagging, as

the popularization of authoring in the Web, and Social Networking, as the translation of personal

relationships to the Web. Precisely, the convergence of recommendation with the above Social Web

pillars is what motivates this book, which has collected contributions from well-known experts in the

academy and the industry to provide a broader view of the problems that Social Recommenders might

face with. If recommender systems have proven their key role in facilitating the user access to

resources on the Web, when sharing resources has become social, it is natural for recommendation

strategies in the Social Web era take into account the users' point of view and the relationships among

users to calculate their predictions. This book aims to help readers to discover and understand the

interplay among legal issues such as privacy; technical aspects such as interoperability and scalability;

and social aspects such as the influence of affinity, trust, reputation and likeness, when the goal is to

offer recommendations that are truly useful to both the user and the provider." (Editor's Notes)-

scientifiques, par sa simple utilisation d’une part, et par la mise en œuvre de nouvelles méthodes de

travail, telles que la création de modèles numériques virtuels, d’autre part. Par ailleurs, il existe une

relation privilégiée entre l’informatique et les mathématiques. Après une analyse des liens entre les

différentes matières, l’ouvrage décrit les objectifs, la conception et le contenu approprié d’une

"Le dialogue entre un homme et une machine n’est pas encore similaire au dialogue naturel entre deux

humains. Des techniques issues de plusieurs disciplines sont appliquées avec une habileté croissante,

pour une fluidité et un réalisme en progrès. Analyse linguistique, résolution des références,

identification des actes de dialogue, des intentions de l’utilisateur, décision de la réaction du système

et du message à produire en retour : autant d’étapes de traitement caractérisées chacune par des

théories propres et des ressources spécifiques. Cet ouvrage synthétise les principaux problèmes posés

par chaque étape de conception d’un système de dialogue homme-machine tout en proposant plusieurs

pistes pour suivre la voie d’un dialogue en langage naturel. Il se fonde sur les expériences de recherche

et les développements récents, avec des préoccupations recoupant celles des domaines de l’intelligence

and complexity. In particular, they play an increasingly important role in the design and analysis of

machine learning algorithms. Fundamental to the idea of a graphical model is the notion of

modularity: a complex system is built by combining simpler parts. Probability theory serves as the

glue whereby the parts are combined, ensuring that the system as a whole is consistent and providing

ways to interface models to data. Graph theory provides both an intuitively appealing interface by

which humans can model highly interacting sets of variables and a data structure that lends itself

naturally to the design of efficient general-purpose algorithms. This book presents an in-depth

exploration of issues related to learning within the graphical model formalism. Four chapters are

tutorial chapters -- Robert Cowell on Inference for Bayesian Networks, David MacKay on Monte

Carlo Methods, Michael I. Jordan et al. on Variational Methods, and David Heckerman on Learning

with Bayesian Networks. The remaining chapters cover a wide range of topics of current research

802.11 wireless networks

Matthew Gast-1 vol. (XXI-630 p.)-004.68 GAS-O'Reilly-2005-

" As we all know by now, wireless networks offer many advantages over fixed (or wired) networks.

Foremost on that list is mobility, since going wireless frees you from the tether of an Ethernet cable at

a desk. But that's just the tip of the cable-free iceberg. Wireless networks are also more flexible, faster

and easier for you to use, and more affordable to deploy and maintain. The de facto standard for

wireless networking is the 802.11 protocol, which includes Wi-Fi (the wireless standard known as

802.11b) and its faster cousin, 802.11g. With easy-to-install 802.11 network hardware available

everywhere you turn, the choice seems simple, and many people dive into wireless computing with

less thought and planning than they'd give to a wired network. But it's wise to be familiar with both the

capabilities and risks associated with the 802.11 protocols. And 802.11 Wireless Networks: The

Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition is the perfect place to start. This updated edition covers everything

you'll ever need to know about wireless technology. Designed with the system administrator or serious

home user in mind, it's a no-nonsense guide for setting up 802.11 on Windows and Linux. Among the

wide range of topics covered are discussions on: * deployment considerations * network monitoring

and performance tuning * wireless security issues * how to use and select access points * network

monitoring essentials * wireless card configuration * security issues unique to wireless networks With

wireless technology, the advantages to its users are indeed plentiful. Companies no longer have to deal

with the hassle and expense of wiring buildings, and households with several computers can avoid

fights over who's online. And now, with 802.11 Wireless Networks: The Definitive Guide, 2nd

Edition, you can integrate wireless technology into your current infrastructure with the utmost

confidence." (Editor's Notes)

"Convex Analysis may be considered as a refinement of standard calculus, with equalities and

approximations replaced by inequalities. As such, it can easily be integrated into a graduate study

curriculum. Minimization algorithms, more specifically those adapted to non-differentiable functions,

provide an immediate application of convex analysis to various fields related to optimization and

operations research. These two topics making up the title of the book, reflect the two origins of the

authors, who belong respectively to the academic world and to that of applications. Part I can be used

as an introductory textbook (as a basis for courses, or for self-study); Part II continues this at a higher

technical level and is addressed more to specialists, collecting results that so far have not appeared in

books."(Editor's Notes)

"The theory of finite fields is of central importance in engineering and computer science, because of

its applications to error-correcting codes, cryptography, spread-spectrum communications, and digital

signal processing. Though not inherently difficult, this subject is almost never taught in depth in

mathematics courses, (and even when it is the emphasis is rarely on the practical aspect). Indeed, most

students get a brief and superficial survey which is crammed into a course on error-correcting codes. It

is the object of this text to remedy this situation by presenting a thorough introduction to the subject

which is completely sound mathematically, yet emphasizes those aspects of the subject which have

proved to be the most important for applications. This book is unique in several respects. Throughout,

the emphasis is on fields of characteristic 2, the fields on which almost all applications are based. The

importance of Euclid's algorithm is stressed early and often. Berlekamp's polynomial factoring

algorithm is given a complete explanation. The book contains the first treatment of Berlekamp's 1982

bit-serial multiplication circuits, and concludes with a thorough discussion of the theory of m-

sequences, which are widely used in communications systems of many kinds. The theory of finite

LQ dynamic optimization and differential games

Jacob Engwerda,...-1 vol. (XII-497 p.)-519.3 ENG-J. Wiley & Sons-2005-

"Game theory is the theory of social situations, and the majority of research into the topic focuses on

how groups of people interact by developing formulas and algorithms to identify optimal strategies

and to predict the outcome of interactions. Only fifty years old, it has already revolutionized

economics and finance, and is spreading rapidly to a wide variety of fields. LQ Dynamic Optimization

and Differential Games is an assessment of the state of the art in its field and the first modern book on

linear-quadratic game theory, one of the most commonly used tools for modelling and analysing

strategic decision making problems in economics and management. Linear quadratic dynamic models

have a long tradition in economics, operations research and control engineering; and the author begins

by describing the one-decision maker LQ dynamic optimization problem before introducing LQ

differential games. Covers cooperative and non-cooperative scenarios, and treats the standard

information structures (open-loop and feedback).

Includes real-life economic examples to illustrate theoretical concepts and results.

Presents problem formulations and sound mathematical problem analysis.

Includes exercises and solutions, enabling use for self-study or as a course text

Supported by a website featuring solutions to exercises, further examples and computer code for

numerical examples. LQ Dynamic Optimization and Differential Games offers a comprehensive

introduction to the theory and practice of this extensively used class of economic models, and will

appeal to applied mathematicians and econometricians as well as researchers and senior

"Studies in generalized convexity and generalized monotonicity have significantly increased during

the last two decades. Researchers with very diverse backgrounds such as mathematical programming,

optimization theory, convex analysis, nonlinear analysis, nonsmooth analysis, linear algebra,

probability theory, variational inequalities, game theory, economic theory, engineering, management

science, equilibrium analysis, for example are attracted to this fast growing field of study. Such

enormous research activity is partially due to the discovery of a rich, elegant and deep theory which

provides a basis for interesting existing and potential applications in different disciplines. The

Bayesian nonparametrics

J.K. Ghosh, R.V. Ramamoorthi-1 vol. (XII-305 p.)-519.5 GHO-Springer-2003-

[Localisé au Département Signaux et Systèmes Electroniques]

"Bayesian nonparametrics has grown tremendously in the last three decades, especially in the last few

years. This book is the first systematic treatment of Bayesian nonparametric methods and the theory

behind them. While the book is of special interest to Bayesians, it will also appeal to statisticians in

general because Bayesian nonparametrics offers a whole continuous spectrum of robust alternatives to

purely parametric and purely nonparametric methods of classical statistics. The book is primarily

aimed at graduate students and can be used as the text for a graduate course in Bayesian

nonparametrics. Though the emphasis of the book is on nonparametrics, there is a substantial chapter

on asymptotics of classical Bayesian parametric models. Jayanta Ghosh has been Director and

Jawaharlal Nehru Professor at the Indian Statistical Institute and President of the International

Statistical Institute. He is currently professor of statistics at Purdue University. He has been editor of

Sankhya and served on the editorial boards of several journals including the Annals of Statistics. Apart

from Bayesian analysis, his interests include asymptotics, stochastic modeling, high dimensional

model selection, reliability and survival analysis and bioinformatics. R.V. Ramamoorthi is professor at

the Department of Statistics and Probability at Michigan State University. He has published papers in

the areas of sufficiency invariance, comparison of experiments, nonparametric survival analysis and

Bayesian analysis. In addition to Bayesian nonparametrics, he is currently interested in Bayesian

networks and graphical models. He is on the editorial board of Sankhya." (Editor's Description)-

Random Matrix Theory and Wireless Communications

Antonia M. Tulino, Sergio Verdú-1 vol. (VI-184 p.)-621.384 TUL-Now-2004-

"Random matrix theory has found many applications in physics, statistics and engineering since its

inception. Although early developments were motivated by practical experimental problems, random

matrices are now used in fields as diverse as Riemann hypothesis, stochastic differential equations,

condensed matter physics, statistical physics, chaotic systems, numerical linear algebra, neural

networks, multivariate statistics, information theory, signal processing and small-world networks. This

article provides a tutorial on random matrices which provides an overview of the theory and brings

together in one source the most significant results recently obtained. Furthermore, the application of

random matrix theory to the fundamental limits of wireless communication channels is described in

In one person

John Irving-1 vol. (621 p.)-AN IRV-Black Swan-2013-

"A compelling novel of desire, secrecy, and sexual identity, In One Person is a story of unfulfilled

love- tormented, funny, and affecting - and an impassioned embrace of our sexual differences. Not

least, it is an intimate portrait of the solitariness of a bisexual man who is dedicated to making himself

'worthwhile'. Beginning with his first love - and older, transgender woman - and including the

classmates and lovers he will lose to AIDS- William Abbott makes an unforgettable statement about

sexual repression in America"(Editor’s Notes)

We only know so much

Elizabeth Crane-1 vol. (280-14 p.)-AN CRA-Harper Perennial-2012-

"Jean Copeland, an emotionally withdrawn wife and mother of two, has taken a secret lover—only to

lose him in a moment of tragedy that leaves her reeling. Her husband, Gordon, is oblivious, distracted

by the fear that he's losing his most prized asset: his memory. Daughter Priscilla (a pill since birth—

don't get us started) is talking about clothes, or TV, or whatever, and hatching a plan to extend her

maddening reach to all of America. Nine-year-old Otis is torn between his two greatest loves:

crossword puzzles and his new girlfriend. At the back of the house, grandfather Theodore is in the

early throes of Parkinson's disease. (And he's fine with it—as long as they continue to let him walk the

damn dog alone.) And Vivian, the family's ninety-eight-year-old matriarch, is a razor-sharp grande

dame who suffers no fools...and still harbors secret dreams of her own. With empathy, humor, and an

unforgettable voice, Elizabeth Crane reveals what one family finds when everyone goes looking for

meaning in all the wrong places." (Book Cover)

"Sussex, England. A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. Although the

house he lived in is long gone, he is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was

seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock, and her mother and grandmother. He

hasn't thought of Lettie in decades, and yet as he sits by the pond (a pond that she'd claimed was an

ocean) behind the ramshackle old farmhouse, the unremembered past comes flooding back. And it is a

past too strange, too frightening, too dangerous to have happened to anyone, let alone a small boy."

ne disent que la force de l'habitude. Mais le coquetier, dans le placard à vaisselle, et ne serait-ce que de

façon très épisodique, a eu bien des occasions de susciter quelques bouffées de tendresse à l’égard de

Marie. Je me dis qu’on ne conserve pas un objet aussi modeste, et aussi défraîchi, pendant soixante-

dix ans sans de sérieuses raisons. La crainte de le voir disparaître confirme cet attachement. Le petit

Les vaches de Staline

Sofi Oksanen-1 vol. (546 p.)-R OKS-Librairie générale française-2013-

Deux femmes, une mère et sa fille, dans la Finlande de la fin du XXe siècle. Katariina a tout tenté pour

faire oublier ses origines estoniennes et taire les traumatismes de l'ère soviétiques. Anna souffre de

troubles alimentaires profonds et ne pense qu'à contrôler l'image de son corps. A travers leur douleur

et leurs obsessions, c'est le destin tragique de l'estonie, le pays de sa mère, que Sofi Oksanen évoque.

Les "vaches de Staline" : c'est ainsi que les Estoniens déportés appelèrent les chèvres efflanquées

The life before her eyes

Laura Kasischke-1 vol. (280 p.)-AN KAS-Harcourt-2002-

"Diana stands before the mirror preening with her best friend, Maureen. Suddenly, a classmate enters

holding a gun, and Diana sees her life dance before her eyes. In a moment the future she was just

imagining--a doting wife and mother at the age of forty--is sealed by a horrific decision she is forced

to make. In prose infused with the dramatically feminine sensuality of spring, we experience

seventeen-year-old Diana's uncertain steps into womanhood--her awkward, heated forays into sex; her

fresh, fragile construction of an identity. Together with the sights and sounds of renewal, we

experience the tasks of Diana's adulthood: protecting her beloved daughter and holding onto her

successful husband. An acclaimed writer and poet, Laura Kasischke has crafted a consciousness that

encompasses the truth of a teenager's world and the profound transformation of that world at midlife.

Resonant and deeply stirring, "The Life Before Her Eyes" finds piercing beauty in the midst of a

nightmare from long ago that echoes like a dirge beneath each new spring. «(Book Cover)

Alone together

Sherry Turkle-1 vol. (XVII-360 p.)-303.48 TUR-Basic Books-2012-

"Technology has become the architect of our intimacies. Online, we fall prey to the illusion of

companionship, gathering thousands of Twitter and Facebook friends and confusing tweets and wall

posts with authentic communication. But, as MIT technology and society specialist Sherry Turkle

argues, this relentless connection leads to a new solitude. As technology ramps up, our emotional lives

ramp down. Alone Together is the result of Turkle's nearly fifteen-year exploration of our lives on the

digital terrain. Based on hundreds of interviews, it describes new unsettling relationships between

friends, lovers, parents, and children, and new instabilities in how we understand privacy and

community, intimacy, and solitude." (Book Cover)

Douglas Rushkoff, "presentism" is the new ethos of a society that's always on, in real time, updating

live. Guided by neither history nor long term goals, we navigate a sea of media that blend the past and

future into a mash-up of instantaneous experience. Rushkoff shows how this trend is both disorienting

and exhilarating. Without linear narrative we get both the humiliations of reality TV and the

associative brilliance of The Simpsons. With no time for long term investing, we invent dangerously

the Tea Party and the Occupy movement. In many ways, this was the goal of digital technology--

outsourcing our memory was supposed to free us up to focus on the present. But we are in danger of

The spirit level

Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett-1 vol. (XVII-374 p.)-303 WIL-Penguin books-2010-

"It is common knowledge that in rich societies the poor have shorter lives and suffer more from almost

every social problem. Large inequalities of income are likewise often regarded as divisive and

corrosive. This groundbreaking book, based on thirty years' research, goes an important stage beyond

either of these ideas: it demonstrates that more unequal societies are bad for almost everyone within

them - the well-off as well as the poor. The remarkable data the book lays out and the measures it uses

are like a spirit level which we can hold up to compare the conditions of different societies. The

differences revealed, even between rich market democracies, are striking. Almost every modern social

and environmental problem - ill-health, lack of community life, violence, drugs, obesity, mental

illness, long working hours, big prison populations - is more likely to occur in a less equal society. The

Spirit level goes to the heart of the apparent contrast between the material success and social failings

of many modern societies, but it does not simply provide a key to diagnosing our ills. It tells us how to

shift the balance from self-interested 'consumerism' to a friendlier and more collaborative society. It

shows a way out of the social and environmental problems which beset us and opens up a major new

approach to improving the real quality of life, not just for the poor but for everyone. It is, in its

conclusion, an optimistic book, which should revitalise politics and provide a new way of thinking

about how we organise human communities." (Editor's Description)

Introduction to space-time Wireless Communications

Arogyaswami Paulraj, Rohit Nabar and Dhananjay Gore-1 vol. (277 p.)-621.384 5 PAU-Cambridge

University Press-2008-

"Wireless networks are under constant pressure to provide ever higher data rates to increasing numbers

of users with greater reliability. Space-time processing technology, which uses multiple antennas and

sophisticated signal processing techniques, is a powerful new tool for improving system performance.

The technology already features in the UMTS and CDMA2000 mobile standards. This book is an

accessible introduction to the theory of space-time wireless communications. The authors discuss the

basics of space-time propagation, space-time channels, channel capacity, spatial diversity and space-

time coding. They highlight important trade-offs in the design of practical systems and cover advanced

topics such as space-time OFDM and spread-spectrum modulation, co-channel interference

cancellation, and multiuser MIMO. The book is an ideal introduction to this rapidly growing field for

graduate students taking courses on wireless communications and for practitioners in the wireless

industry. Homework problems and other supporting material are available on a companion website."

Transmission and reception with multiple Antennas

Ezio Biglieri,... Giorgio Taricco,...-1 vol. (VII-156 p.)-621.384 5 BIG-Now publishers-2004-

"Wireless communication system design was until recently thought to have been limited in practice by

time and bandwidth. The discovery that space, obtained by increasing the number of transmit and

receive antennas, can also effectively generate degrees of freedom, and hence expand the range of

choices made available to the design offers system designers important new opportunities. This paper

focuses on the main aspects of single-user multiple-antenna theory, with the goal of presenting a

comprehensive, yet compact, survey, emphasizing its mathematical aspects. After describing channel

models, we compute the capacities they achieve, we briefly overview "space-time" codes, and we

describe how suboptimum architectures can be employed to simplify the receiver." (Editor’s Notes)

"Spread spectrum multiple access communication, known commercially as CDMA (Code Division

Multiple Access), is a driving technology behind the rapidly advancing personal communications

industry. Its greater bandwidth efficiency and multiple access capabilities make it the leading

technology for relieving spectrum congestion caused by the explosion in popularity of cellular mobile

and fixed wireless telephones and wireless data terminals. CDMA has been adopted by the

Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) as a wireless standard. As an electrical or

communications engineer, you must acquire a thorough grasp of CDMA fundamentals in order to

develop systems, products, and services for this demanding but rewarding market. Written by a leader

in the creation of CDMA and an internationally recognized authority on wireless digital

communication, this book gives you the technical information you need. It presents the fundamentals

of digital communications and covers all aspects of commercial direct-sequence spread spectrum

technology, incorporating both physical-level principles and network concepts. You will find detailed

information on signal generation, synchronization, modulation, and coding of direct-sequence spread

spectrum signals. In addition, the book shows how these physical layer functions relate to link and

network properties involving cellular coverage, Erlang capacity, and network control. With this book,

you will attain a deeper understanding of personal communications system concepts and will be better

equipped to develop systems and products at the forefront of the personal wireless communications

Fundamentals of resource allocation in wireless networks

Sławomir Stańczak, Marcin Wiczanowski, Holger Boche-1 vol. (XXV-427 p.)-621.384 STA-

Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg-2009-

"The wireless industry is in the midst of a fundamental shift from providing voice-only services to

offering customers an array of multimedia services, including a wide variety of audio, video and data

communications capabilities. Future wireless networks will be integrated into every aspect of daily

life, and therefore could affect our life in a magnitude similar to that of the Internet and cellular

phones. This monograph demonstrates that these emerging applications and directions require

fundamental understanding on how to design and control wireless networks that lies far beyond what

the currently existing theory can provide. It is shown that mathematics is the key technology to cope

with central technical problems in the design of wireless networks since the complexity of the problem

simply precludes the use of engineering common sense alone to identify good solutions. The main

objective of this book is to provide tools for better understanding the fundamental tradeoffs and

interdependencies in wireless networks, with the goal of designing resource allocation strategies that

exploit these interdependencies to achieve significant performance gains. The book consists of three

largely independent parts: theory, applications and appendices. The latter contain foundational aspects

to make the book more understandable to readers who are not familiar with some basic concepts and

results from linear algebra and convex analysis." (Editor's Notes)

DUM-Dunod-2013-

"Transmettre des informations sous forme numérique suppose entre autres d'optimiser la taille des

messages transmis pour éviter de surcharger les canaux de transmission, d'être capable de rectifier des

erreurs apparues en cours de transmission, de crypter les contenus et d'authentifier les émissaires et les

destinataires... L'originalité de cet ouvrage est de présenter tous les fondements mathématiques et

informatiques sur lesquels reposent ces techniques. Les notions théoriques présentées sont illustrées

par 120 exercices corrigés. Ce domaine évolue rapidement et cette 2e édition s'enrichit de

compléments sur la cryptologie et sur les codes LDPC." (Quatrième de couverture)

Information Theory, Inference, and Learning Algorithms

David J. C. MacKay-1 vol. (XII-628 p.)-621.382 2 MAC-Cambridge University Press-2003-

"Information theory and inference, often taught separately, are here united in one entertaining

textbook. These topics lie at the heart of many exciting areas of contemporary science and engineering

- communication, signal processing, data mining, machine learning, pattern recognition, computational

neuroscience, bioinformatics, and cryptography. This textbook introduces theory in tandem with

applications. Information theory is taught alongside practical communication systems, such as

arithmetic coding for data compression and sparse-graph codes for error-correction. A toolbox of

inference techniques, including message-passing algorithms, Monte Carlo methods, and variational

approximations, are developed alongside applications of these tools to clustering, convolutional codes,

independent component analysis, and neural networks. The final part of the book describes the state of

the art in error-correcting codes, including low-density parity-check codes, turbo codes, and digital

fountain codes -- the twenty-first century standards for satellite communications, disk drives, and data

broadcast. Richly illustrated, filled with worked examples and over 400 exercises, some with detailed

solutions, David MacKay's groundbreaking book is ideal for self-learning and for undergraduate or

graduate courses. Interludes on crosswords, evolution, and sex provide entertainment along the way.

In sum, this is a textbook on information, communication, and coding for a new generation of

students, and an unparalleled entry point into these subjects for professionals in areas as diverse as

computational biology, financial engineering, and machine learning." (Book Cover)

Performance Analysis of linear codes under maximum-likelihood Decoding

Igal Sason, Shlomo Shamai-1 vol. (IX-225 p.)-621.382 2 SAS-Now Publishers-2006-

"Performance Analysis of Linear Codes under Maximum-Likelihood Decoding: A Tutorial focuses on

the performance evaluation of linear codes under optimal maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding.

Though the ML decoding algorithm is prohibitively complex for most practical codes, their

performance analysis under ML decoding allows to predict their performance without resorting to

computer simulations. It also provides a benchmark for testing the sub-optimality of iterative (or other

practical) decoding algorithms. This analysis also establishes the goodness of linear codes (or

ensembles), determined by the gap between their achievable rates under optimal ML decoding and

information theoretical limits. In Performance Analysis of Linear Codes under Maximum-Likelihood

Decoding: A Tutorial, upper and lower bounds on the error probability of linear codes under ML

decoding are surveyed and applied to codes and ensembles of codes on graphs. For upper bounds, we

discuss various bounds where focus is put on Gallager bounding techniques and their relation to a

variety of other reported bounds. Within the class of lower bounds, we address de Caen's based bounds

and their improvements, and also consider sphere-packing bounds with their recent improvements

targeting codes of moderate block lengths. Performance Analysis of Linear Codes under Maximum-

Likelihood Decoding: A Tutorial is a comprehensive introduction to this important topic for students,

practitioners and researchers working in communications and information theory." (Book Cover)
