About the Book
This book presents 91 papers reflecting the experience of a large family of workers in the field of parallel and distributed computing systems. It explores fresh results and important methods and tools. Among topics addressed are: architectures and algorithms, parallel computing in non-numerical processes, parallel computing in optimization, control and signal/image processing, distributed computing and control, neural computing, communication networks, and engineering applications. Research institutes and companies, as well as universities and individual computer, control, systems, or communications scientists and engineers should find this a valuable addition to their libraries.
