Why care about hardware/firmware interaction? These interfaces are critical, a solid hardware design married with adaptive firmware can access all the capabilities of an application and overcome limitations caused by poor communication. For the first time, a book has come along that will help hardware engineers and firmware engineers work together to mitigate or eliminate problems that occur when hardware and firmware are not optimally compatible. Solving these issues will save time and money, getting products to market sooner to create more revenue.
The principles and best practices presented in this book will prove to be a valuable resource for both hardware and firmware engineers. Topics include register layout, interrupts, timing and performance, aborts, and errors. Real world cases studies will help to solidify the principles and best practicies with an aim towards cleaner designs, shorter schedules, and better implementation!
Reduce product development delays with the best practices in this book
Concepts apply to ASICs, ASSPs, SoCs, and FPGAs
Real-world examples and case studies highlight the good and bad of design processes

`Basics Typography: Virtual Typography` addresses a fundamentally new form of typographical communication. The book explores the visual arrangement of words and letters in the context of multimedia. Here, this arrangement is not simply a spatial positioning of text information it is also bound by time. The increasing use of moving, virtual type can help to harmonise this time-based presentation of words on screen. The book touches on work from a variety of designers, including Channel 4 and Pentagram Design. This will provide an excellent introduction to the latest methods in typographical and visual communication.

The proceedings to `Serious Games on the Move 08` will contain all results of this conference on game software applications that are designed to do more than entertain. The focus of the contents lie on research results and developments in the rapidly moving field of serious games and their potential use in education and training as well as in the presentation of several showcases.
The proceedings will address the following three topics: 1. Designing serious games: This topic will include innovations in the design of serious games, in particular games for use in education and training environments. 2. Embedding serious games and virtual worlds within learning programmes: Original research papers and case studies that investigate the potential for integration of serious games and virtual worlds within programmes of education and training will be the core content of this theme. 3. Tools, technologies and platforms: Under this topic the proceedings will provide information relating to serious games technologies.

oftware Development is moving towards a more agile and more flexible approach. It turns out that the traditional `waterfall` model is not supportive in an environment where technical, financial and strategic constraints are changing almost every day. But what is agility? What are today?s major approaches? And especially: What is the impact of agile development principles on the development teams, on project management and on software architects? How can large enterprises become more agile and improve their business processes, which have been existing since many, many years? What are the limitations of Agility? And what is the right balance between reliable structures and flexibility? This book will give answers to these questions. A strong emphasis will be on real life project examples, which describe how development teams have moved from a waterfall model towards an Agile Software Development approach

An ontology is a formal description of concepts and relationships that can exist for a community of human and/or machine agents. The notion of ontologies is crucial for the purpose of enabling knowledge sharing and reuse. The Handbook on Ontologies provides a comprehensive overview of the current status and future prospectives of the field of ontologies considering ontology languages, ontology engineering methods, example ontologies, infrastructures and technologies for ontologies, and how to bring this all into ontology-based infrastructures and applications that are among the best of their kind. The field of ontologies has tremendously developed and grown in the five years since the first edition of the `Handbook on Ontologies`. Therefore, its revision includes 21 completely new chapters as well as a major re-working of 15 chapters transferred to this second edition.

Online applications have been gaining wide acceptance among the general public. Companies like Amazon, Google, Yahoo! and NetFlicks have been doing extremely well over the last few years largely because of people becoming more comfortable and trusting of the Internet. The increasing acceptance of online products makes it increasingly important to address some of the scientific techniques involved in developing efficient 3D online systems.
The topics discussed in this book broadly cover four categories: networking issues in online multimedia; joint texture-mesh simplification and view independent transmission; view dependent transmission and server-side rendering; content and background creation; and creating simple online games.
Contents: Adaptive Bandwidth Monitoring for QoS Based Retrievel (A Basu et al.); Wireless Protocols (A Khan); Overview of 3D Coding and Simplification (I Cheng & L Ying); Scale-Space Filtering and LOD — The TexMesh Model (I Cheng); Adaptive Online Transmission of Photo-Realistic Textured Mesh (I Cheng); Perceptual Issues in a 3D TexMesh Model (I Cheng); Quality Metric for Approximating Subjective Evaluation of 3D Objects (A Basu et al.); Perceptually Optimized 3D Transmission Over Wireless Networks (I Cheng & A Basu); Predictive Schemes for Remote Visualization of 3D Models (P Zanuttigh & G M Cortelazzo); A Rate Distortion Theoretic Approach to Remote Visualization of 3D Models (N Brusco et al.); 3D Content Creation by Passive Optical Methods (L Ballan et al.); 3D Visualization and Compression of Photorealistic Panoramic Backgrounds (P Zanuttigh et al.); A 3D Game — Castles (G Xiao et al.); A Networked Version of Castles (D Lien et al.); A Networked Multiplayer Java3D Game — Siege (E Benner et al.); Collaborative Online 3D Editing (I Cheng et al.).
