Presenting the fundamentals of cooperative communications and networking, this book treats the concepts of space, time, frequency diversity and MIMO, with a holistic approach to principal topics where significant improvements can be obtained. Beginning with background and MIMO systems, Part I includes a review of basic principles of wireless communications and space-time diversity and coding. Part II then presents topics on physical layer cooperative communications such as relay channels and protocols, performance bounds, multi-node cooperation, and energy efficiency. Finally, Part III focuses on cooperative networking including cooperative and content-aware multiple access, distributed routing, source-channel coding, and cooperative OFDM. Including end-of-chapter review questions, this text will appeal to graduate students of electrical engineering and is an ideal textbook for advanced courses on wireless communications. It will also be of great interest to practitioners in the wirele

美國亞馬遜書店4.6星讀者好評，布洛克(Brock)國際教育大獎得主，「多元智能理論」之父最新力作！別人常問我，我擁有什麼智能，又欠缺什麼智能。我漸漸認為，更有助益、更實用、甚至更正確的回答，應該是：「我擁有統合心智。」――――霍華德‧加德納 (Howrad Gardner)享譽國際、當代傑出的哈佛心理學家暨教育家――霍華德•加德納（Howard Gardner），在40年前提出顛覆傳統教育思想的「多元智能」（Ｍultiple Intelligences,簡稱MI）理論，反駁傳統「IQ測驗」以紙筆測驗定終身的智力觀點，主張智力不該被局限在狹隘的單一面向。他大聲呼籲，每個人的智能組成光譜不同，應擺脫過去獨斷的單一智能框架，任何人都可以透過自己的優勢智能，持續且廣泛地培養其他面向的智能。加德納教授擁有二十多項榮譽學位，長年為哈佛教育學院零點計畫（Projecr Zero）核心團隊成員，曾獲《外交政策》與《展望雜誌》選為當今世上百大最具影響力人物之一；2015年獲布洛克國際教育大獎（Brock international prize in education）時，提名委員如此定位他：「多元智能理論是美國現代教育理論中最重要的票房明星，歷史上很少有人能像加德納，對教育發揮如此巨大的影響力。」多元智能理論問世後，不僅掀起全世界的教改浪潮，激發眾人思索教育的新思路，更成為眾多教育工作者與父母在教育及教養議題上廣為接受的顯學。即使是將近40年後的今天，台灣教育政策的方向依然深受多元智能思潮的影響。如「十二年國民基本教育課程綱要」的國小階段學習重點，便是「開發多元智能，培養多方興趣」；而「學生學習歷程檔案」重視「真實呈現學生的學習軌跡、個人特質、能力發展等，補強考試之外無法呈現的學習成果」的理念，更完全符合加德納對於傳統標準化測驗的批判。至今著作已逾30本的加德納教授在這本個人回憶錄之中，不僅以精闢的見解闡釋新時代下的多元智能理論，回顧多元智能理論發展過程中，曾被錯誤詮釋、誤解使用等另作者驚恐不已的軼事，更追本溯源檢視自我心智架構，梳理自身提出開創性研究的源頭，娓娓道來自己如何從一個鎮日埋首書堆、熱愛彈奏鋼琴的內向猶太裔小男孩，一路演變成意氣風發的大學生、思想不受拘束的研究生，最終成為哈佛教授的曲折回憶。回首過去，他說：「我就像唐吉訶德那樣，義無反顧地追尋我自己的路！」在本書中，加

Originally published in 2002, this book presents techniques in the application of formal methods to object-based distributed systems. A major theme of the book is how to formally handle the requirements arising from OO distributed systems, such as dynamic reconfiguration, encapsulation, subtyping, inheritance, and real-time aspects. These may be supported either by enhancing existing notations, such as UML, LOTOS, SDL and Z, or by defining fresh notations, such as Actors, Pi-calculus and Ambients. The major specification notations and modelling techniques are introduced and compared by leading researchers. The book also includes a description of approaches to the specification of non-functional requirements, and a discussion of security issues. Researchers and practitioners in software design, object-oriented computing, distributed systems, and telecommunications systems will gain an appreciation of the relationships between the major areas of concerns and learn how the use of object-o

This comprehensive treatment of network information theory and its applications provides the first unified coverage of both classical and recent results. With an approach that balances the introduction of new models and new coding techniques, readers are guided through Shannon's point-to-point information theory, single-hop networks, multihop networks, and extensions to distributed computing, secrecy, wireless communication, and networking. Elementary mathematical tools and techniques are used throughout, requiring only basic knowledge of probability, whilst unified proofs of coding theorems are based on a few simple lemmas, making the text accessible to newcomers. Key topics covered include successive cancellation and superposition coding, MIMO wireless communication, network coding, and cooperative relaying. Also covered are feedback and interactive communication, capacity approximations and scaling laws, and asynchronous and random access channels. This book is ideal for use in the
