SmartGrids

Edited by Nouredine Hadjsaïd and Jean-Claude Sabonnadière, INP Grenoble, France

On a worldwide basis, the development of SmartGrids is a consistent answer to the problem of an efficient and sustainable delivery of electric energy through distribution grids. SmartGrids are a combination of information and communication technologies and new energy technologies. There are many different definitions of the concept of SmartGrids and thus it appears indispensable to gather the know...

Cyber Conflict

Competing National Perspectives

Edited by Daniel Ventre, CNRS, France

Today, cyber security, cyber defense, information warfare and cyber warfare issues are among the most relevant topics both at the national and international level. All the major states of the world are facing cyber threats and trying to understand how cyberspace could be used to increase power.
Through an empirical, conceptual and theoretical approach, Cyber Conflict has been written by research...

Wireless Optical Communications

Edited by Olivier Bouchet, France Telecom

Wireless optical communication refers to communication based on the unguided propagation of optical waves. The past 30 years have seen significant improvements in this technique – a wireless communication solution for the current millennium – that offers an alternative to radio systems; a technique that could gain attractiveness due to recent concerns regarding the potential effects of radiofreque...

Damage Mechanics in Metal Forming

Advanced Modeling and Numerical Simulation

Khemais Saanouni, University of Technology of Troyes, France

The aim of this book is to summarize the current most effective methods for modeling, simulating, and optimizing metal forming processes, and to present the main features of new, innovative methods currently being developed which will no doubt be the industrial tools of tomorrow. It discusses damage (or defect) prediction in virtual metal forming, using advanced multiphysical and multiscale fully ...

Network Coding

Edited by Khaldoun Al Agha, Paris XI University, France

Network coding, a relatively new area of research, has evolved from the theoretical level to become a tool used to optimize the performance of communication networks – wired, cellular, ad hoc, etc. The idea consists of mixing “packets” of data together when routing them from source to destination. Since network coding increases the network performance, it becomes a tool to enhance the existing pro...

Mathematical Statistics and Stochastic Processes

Edited by Denis Bosq, Laboratory of Statistics, Theory and Application (LSTA), UPMC

Generally, books on mathematical statistics are restricted to the case of independent identically distributed random variables. In this book however, both this case AND the case of dependent variables, i.e. statistics for discrete and continuous time processes, are studied. This second case is very important for today’s practitioners.
Mathematical Statistics and Stochastic Processes is based on d...

Textual Information Access

Statistical Models

Edited by Eric Gaussier, Joseph Fourier University, Grenoble, France François Yvon, University of Paris Sud, Orsay, France

This book presents statistical models that have recently been developed within several research communities to access information contained in text collections. The problems considered are linked to applications aiming at facilitating information access:
- information extraction and retrieval;
- text classification and clustering;
- opinion mining;
- comprehension aids (automatic summarization...

Digital Color

Acquisition, Perception, Coding and Rendering

Edited by Christine Fernandez-Maloigne, University of Poitiers, France Frédérique Robert-Inacio, IM2NP and ISEN, Toulon, France Ludovic Macaire, Lille 1 University, France

In this book the authors identify the basic concepts and recent advances in the acquisition, perception, coding and rendering of color. The fundamental aspects related to the science of colorimetry in relation to physiology (the human visual system) are addressed, as are constancy and color appearance. It also addresses the more technical aspects related to sensors and the color management screen....

Physical Properties of Concrete and Concrete Constituents

Jean-Pierre Ollivier, INSA Toulouse, France Jean-Michel Torrenti, Ecole nationale des ponts et chausses, Paris, France Myriam Carcassès, University of Toulouse, France

Understanding the rheological properties of fresh concrete, the hydration phenomenon of cement responsible for structuration, the relationship between the characteristics of the porous solid obtained and its mechanical performances or resistance to the aggressive penetration requires a complex knowledge of the physicochemistry of reactive porous materials. The development of simple formulation ru...

Artificial Materials

Olivier Vanbésien, Lille University, France

In the field of electromagnetic and/or optical waves, the concept of “artificial material” covers any fabricated device, be it metallic, dielectric or metal-dielectric, enabling a varyingly complex control of wave propagation in a chosen wavelength range. A common point to all approaches is that the structural scale of the building blocks of a new material is proportional to its operating waveleng...
