A history of design teaching from the mid-1950s to the mid-1990s told through essays, interviews, remembrances, and primary materials.With contributions by more than forty of the most influential voices in art, architecture, and design, After the Bauhaus, Before the Internet traces a history of design teaching from the mid-1950s to the mid-1990s through essays, interviews, remembrances, and primary materials. Geoff Kaplan has gathered a multigenerational group of theorists and practitioners to explore what design thinking and interdisciplinarity mean for design and its pedagogy and how they can be placed within a conceptual and historical context. At a time when all our choices and behaviors are putatively curated, and when “design thinking” is recruited to solve problems from climate change to social media optimization, this volume looks at how design’s self-understandings as a discipline have changed and how they affect the ways it writes its own histories and theories.

Plasmonic nanostructures provide new ways of manipulating the flow of light with nanostructures and nanoparticles exhibiting optical properties never before seen in the macro-world.

Filtering and system identification are powerful techniques for building models of complex systems. This 2007 book discusses the design of reliable numerical methods to retrieve missing information in models derived using these techniques. Emphasis is on the least squares approach as applied to the linear state-space model, and problems of increasing complexity are analyzed and solved within this framework, starting with the Kalman filter and concluding with the estimation of a full model, noise statistics and state estimator directly from the data. Key background topics, including linear matrix algebra and linear system theory, are covered, followed by different estimation and identification methods in the state-space model. With end-of-chapter exercises, MATLAB simulations and numerous illustrations, this book will appeal to graduate students and researchers in electrical, mechanical and aerospace engineering. It is also useful for practitioners. Additional resources for this title,

Covering fundamental principles through to practical applications, this self-contained guide describes indispensable mathematical tools for the analysis and design of advanced wireless transmission and reception techniques in MIMO and OFDM systems. The analysis-oriented approach develops a thorough understanding of core concepts and discussion of various example schemes shows how to apply these concepts in practice. The book focuses on techniques for advanced diversity combining, channel adaptive transmission and multiuser scheduling, the foundations of future wireless systems for the delivery of highly spectrum-efficient wireless multimedia services. Bringing together conventional and novel results from a wide variety of sources, it will teach you to accurately quantify trade-offs between performance and complexity for different design options so that you can determine the most suitable design choice based on your specific practical implementation constraints.

Hardcore JFC is a comprehensive guide to the functionality and practical use of the Java Foundations Classes (JFC), a component library designed for the Java programming language and operating environment. It presents intermediate and advanced techniques in exploiting the power and flexibility of JFC and the Swing component set. The book describes the inner workings of Swing and how its design principles can be used to add tremendous value to Java applications. The important features of JFC components are investigated thoroughly with a focus on the comprehension of fundamentals and the pragmatic application of advanced techniques. Included are concrete illustrations of how to enhance the JFC architecture: leveraging the 'Model/View/Controller' paradigm, customizing and developing new components and techniques for creating 'look and feel' user interface classes. Explanations of design and development techniques are introduced through effective, well-constructed and reusable example code
