Challenges for Event Queries over Markovian Streams
Building applications on top of sensor data streams is challenging because sensor data is noisy. A model-based view can reduce noise by transforming raw sensor streams into streams of probabilistic state estimates, which smooth out errors and gaps. The authors propose a novel model-based view, the Markovian stream, to represent correlated probabilistic sequences. Applications interested in evaluating event queries-extracting sophisticated state sequences-can improve robustness by querying a Markovian stream view instead of querying raw data directly. The primary challenge is to properly handle the Markovian stream's correlations.

Adaptação de Papéis Ágeis em Projetos Distribuídos em Larga Escala: Percepção de Profissionais da Indústria
Os Métodos Ágeis foram originalmente concebidos para equipes pequenas e co-localizadas, o que apresenta um desafio quando aplicados em contextos de desenvolvimento distribuído e em larga escala. Nesses cenários, equipes enormes colaboram em um programa de desenvolvimento compartilhado, lidando com tecnologias complexas e uma variedade de partes interessadas. Projetos em larga escala frequentemente se estendem geograficamente, tornando crucial a adaptação dos papéis das práticas ágeis para esses ambientes. Este trabalho visa compreender a adoção de papéis ágeis nesses contextos, investigando o escalonamento na implementação distribuída. Além disso, buscamos avaliar a percepção dos participantes quanto à utilidade dessas adaptações nos projetos.

Too big not to fail? Über Design und Ausführung von inter- und transdisziplinärer Forschung am Beispiel des Großprojekts ENavi
This design report reflects the inter- and transdisciplinary cooperation challenges of a large-scale research project that was lacking a designated problem and project constitution phase. Using the example of the Kopernikus project Energy Transition Navigation System (ENavi), we describe the challenges - the high number and strong heterogeneity of the project participants combined with the large size of the spatial frame of reference - which created particularly difficult conditions for inter- and transdisciplinary cooperation. We also highlight the role that funding conditions played in this situation. Specifically, we explain the particular challenges that the ENavi project faced in its efforts to achieve a common orientation, integration, and practice-actor participation as fundamental requirements for an inter- and transdisciplinary research project. We also outline the approaches to solutions for these challenges developed by the project. Finally, we draw a number of lessons from the ENavi experience for interand transdisciplinary research regarding large-scale projects.

Essential knowledge for transistor-level LSI circuit design
Thisbook is a collection of the miscellaneous knowledge essential fortransistor-level LSI circuit design, summarized as the issues that need to beconsidered in each design step. To design an LSI that actually functions and tobe able to properly measure it, an extremely large amount of diverse, detailedknowledge is necessary. Even though one may read a textbook about an op-amp,for example, the op-amp circuit design may not actually be possible to completein one's CAD tools. The first half of this text explains important designissues such as the operating principles of CAD tools,including schematic entry, SPICE simulation, layout and verification, andRC extraction. Then, mistake-prone topics for many circuit design beginners, resultingfrom their lack of consideration of these subjects, are explained including IObuffers, noise, and problems due to the progress of miniaturization. Followingthese topics, basic but very specialized issues for LSI circuit measurement areexplained including measurement devices and measurement techniques. Readerswill have the simulated experience of the whole flow from top to bottom ofcircuit design and measurement. The book will be useful for newcomers to a labor to new graduates who are assigned to a circuit design group but have littleexperience in circuit design. This published work is also ideal for those whohave some experience in circuit design, to confirm and complement the knowledgethat they already possess.

D ISTRIBUTED M ODEL P REDICTIVE C ONTROL FOR P LANT -W IDE S YSTEMS
In this book, experienced researchers gave a thorough explanation of distributed model predictive control (DMPC): its basic concepts, technologies, and implementation in plant-wide systems. Known for its error tolerance, high flexibility, and good dynamic performance, DMPC is a popular topic in the control field and is widely applied in many industries.
To efficiently design DMPC systems, readers will be introduced to several categories of coordinated DMPCs, which are suitable for different control requirements, such as network connectivity, error tolerance, performance of entire closed-loop systems, and calculation of speed. Various real-life industrial applications, theoretical results, and algorithms are provided to illustrate key concepts and methods, as well as to provide solutions to optimize the global performance of plant-wide systems.
* Features system partition methods, coordination strategies, performance analysis, and how to design stabilized DMPC under different coordination strategies.
* Presents useful theories and technologies that can be used in many different industrial fields, examples include metallurgical processes and high-speed transport.
* Reflects the authors' extensive research in the area, providing a wealth of current and contextual information.
Distributed Model Predictive Control for Plant-Wide Systems is an excellent resource for researchers in control theory for large-scale industrial processes. Advanced students of DMPC and control engineers will also find this as a comprehensive reference text.

Fast circuit boards : energy management
An essential guide to modern circuit board design based on simple physics and practical applications
The fundamentals taught in circuit theory were never intended to work above a few megahertz, let alone at a gigahertz. While electronics is grounded in physics, most engineers' education in this area is too general and mathematical to be easily applied to the problem of high speed circuits. Left to their own devices, many engineers produce layouts that require expensive revisions in order to finally meet specifications.
Fast Circuit Boards fills the gap in knowledge by providing clear, down-to-earth guidance on designing digital circuit boards that function at high clock rates. By making the direct connection between physics and fast circuits, this book instills the fundamental universal principles of information transfer to give engineers a solid basis for hardware design. Using simple tools, simple physics, and simple language, this invaluable resource walks through basic electrostatics, magnetics, wave mechanics, and more to bring the right technology down to the working level.
Designed to be directly relevant and immediately useful to circuit board designers, this book:
* Properly explains the problems of fast logic and the appropriate tools
* Applies basic principles of physics to the art of laying out circuit boards
* Simplifies essential concepts scaled up to the gigahertz level, saving time, money, and the need for revisions
* Goes beyond circuit theory to provide a deep, intuitive understanding of the mechanisms at work
* Demonstrates energy management's role in board design through step function-focused transmission line techniques
Engineers and technicians seeking a more systematic approach to board design and a deeper understanding of the fundamental principles at work will find tremendous value in this highly practical, long-awaited text.
