Pre-requirements traceability
Wei Li, R. Vaughn, and H. Saiedian
Covering all aspects of engineering for practitioners who design, write, or test computer programs, this updated edition explores all the issues and principles of software design and engineering. With terminology that adheres to the standard set by The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the book features over 500 entries in 35 taxonomic areas, as well as biographies of over 100 personalities who have made an impact in the field.

An RV coefficient framework for signal processing problems
Jose A. Ramos and Erik I. Verriest
An overview of the computational issues; statistical, numerical, and algebraic properties, and new generalizations and applications of advances on TLS and EIV models. Experts from several disciplines prepared overview papers which were presented at the conference and are included in this book.

Computational geometry and computer graphics in C++
Michael Jay Laszlo
This book provides an accessible introduction to methods in computational geometry and computer graphics. It emphasizes the efficient object-oriented implemenation of geometric methods with useable C++ code for all methods discussed.

Canonical correlation analysis of the deterministic realization problem
Jose A. Ramos and Erik I. Verriest
Matrix Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) and its application to problems in signal processing is explored in this book. The papers discuss algorithms and implementation architectures for computing the SVD, as well as a variety of applications such as systems and signal modeling and detection. The publication presents a number of keynote papers, highlighting recent developments in the field, namely large scale SVD applications, isospectral matrix flows, Riemannian SVD and consistent signal reconstruction. It also features a translation of a historical paper by Eugenio Beltrami, containing one of the earliest published discussions of the SVD. With contributions sourced from internationally recognised scientists, the book will be of specific interest to all researchers and students involved in the SVD and signal processing field.

PROS: Data analysis for ROSAT
D. M. Worrall, M. Conroy, J. DePonte, F. R. Harnden Jr, E. Mandel, S. S. Murray, G. Trinchieri, Michael Van Hilst, and B. J. Wilkes
In this book are reported the main results presented at the "Fourth International Workshop on Data Analysis in Astronomy", held at the Ettore Majorana Center for Scientific Culture, Erice, Sicily, Italy, on April 12-19, 1991. The Workshop was preceded by three workshops on the same subject held in Erice in 1984, 1986 and 1988. The frrst workshop (Erice 1984) was dominated by presentations of "Systems for Data Analysis"; the main systems proposed were MIDAS, AlPS, RIAIP, and SAIA. Methodologies and image analysis topics were also presented with the emphasis on cluster analysis, multivariate analysis, bootstrap methods, time analysis, periodicity, 2D photometry, spectrometry, and data compression. A general presentation on "Parallel Processing" was made which encompassed new architectures, data structures and languages. The second workshop (Erice 1986) reviewed the "Data Handling Systems" planned for large major satellites and ground experiments (VLA, HST, ROSAT, COMPASS-COMPTEL). Data analysis methods applied to physical interpretation were mainly considered (cluster photometry, astronomical optical data compression, cluster analysis for pulsar light curves, coded aperture imaging). New parallel and vectorial machines were presented (cellular machines, PAPIA-machine, MPP-machine, vector computers in astronomy). Contributions in the field of artificial intelligence and planned applications to astronomy were also considered (expert systems, artificial intelligence in computer vision).

SVD analysis of probability matrices
Jose A. Ramos
This volume is an outgrowth of the 2nd International Workshop on SVD and Signal Processing which was held in Kingston, Rhode Island, 25-27 June, 1990.
The singular value decomposition (SVD) has been applied to signal processing problems since the late 1970's, although it has been known in various forms for over 100 years.
