Ultra-Low Energy Domain-Specific Instruction-Set Processors (Embedded Systems)
 | Modern consumers carry many electronic devices, like a mobile phone, digital camera, GPS, PDA and an MP3 player
The functionality of each of these devices has gone through an important evolution over recent years, with a steep increase in both the number of features as in the quality of the services that they provide
However, providing the required compute power to support (an uncompromised combination of) all this functionality is highly non-trivial

Smart Things: Ubiquitous Computing User Experience Design
 | The world of smart shoes, appliances, and phones is already here, but the practice of user experience (UX) design for ubiquitous computing is still relatively new
Design companies like IDEO and frogdesign are regularly asked to design products that unify software interaction, device design and service design -- which are all the key components of ubiquitous computing UX -- and practicing designers need a way to tackle practical challenges of design
Theory is not enough for them -- luckily the industry is now mature enough to have tried and tested best practices and case studies from the field

Fundamentals of Wireless Sensor Networks: Theory and Practice (Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing)
 | In this book, the authors describe the fundamental concepts and practical aspects of wireless sensor networks
The book provides a comprehensive view to this rapidly evolving field, including its many novel applications, ranging from protecting civil infrastructure to pervasive health monitoring
Using detailed examples and illustrations, this book provides an inside track on the current state of the technology
|
Satellite Systems for Personal Applications: Concepts and Technology (Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing)
 | Presents the concepts, technology, and role of satellite systems in support of personal applications, such as mobile and broadband communications, navigation, television, radio and multimedia broadcasting, safety of life services, etc
This book presents a novel perspective on satellite systems, reflecting the modern personal technology context, and hence a focus on the individual as end-user
The book begins by outlining key generic concepts before discussing techniques adopted in particular application areas; next, it exemplifies these techniques through discussion of state-of-art current and emerging satellite systems
