E-Banking Management: Issues, Solutions, and Strategies"This book will explore issues critical for success in providing e-banking. The aim is to assist organizations in utilising the opportunities offered by this relatively new set of technologies." -Mahmood Shah, University of Central Lancashire, UK"
The provision of services on the Internet has expanded the field... | | Deadline Scheduling for Real-Time Systems - EDF and Related AlgorithmsMany real-time systems rely on static scheduling algorithms. This includes cyclic scheduling, rate monotonic scheduling and fixed schedules created by off-line scheduling techniques such as dynamic programming, heuristic search, and simulated annealing. However, for many real-time systems, static scheduling algorithms are quite restrictive and... | | Oscillation-Based Test in Mixed-Signal Circuits
Oscillation-Based Test in Mixed-Signal Circuits presents the development and experimental validation of the structural test strategy called Oscillation-Based Test – OBT in short. The results here presented allow to assert, not only from a theoretical point of view, but also based on a wide experimental support, that OBT is an efficient... |
