Informatics in Control Automation and Robotics: Selected Papers from the International Conference on Informatics in Control Automation and Robotics 2006 (Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering) Feature

The present book includes a set of selected papers from the 3rd “International Conference on Informatics in Control Automation and Robotics” (ICINCO 2006), held in Setúbal, Portugal, 1-5 August 2006. The conference was organized in three simultaneous tracks: “Intelligent Control Systems and Optimization”, “Robotics and Automation” and “Systems Modeling, Signal Processing and Control”. The book is based on the same structure. The purpose of this conference is to bring together researchers, engineers and practitioners interested in the application of informatics to Control, Automation and Robotics.

Informatics applications are pervasive in many areas of Control, Automation and Robotics, and this conference intends to emphasize this connection, therefore, most papers highlight applications of Information Technology (IT) in these areas and present ideas on how to solve problems using IT, both in R and D and industrial applications. A diversity of papers are included in the book, ranging from papers describing advanced prototypes, systems, tools and techniques to papers presenting surveys indicating future directions.

Machine Design: A CAD Approach Feature

Computer aided design (CAD) emerged in the 1960s out of the growing acceptance of the use of the computer as a design tool for complex systems. As computers have become faster and less expensive while handling an increasing amount of information, their use in machine design has spread from large industrial needs to the small designer.

Thermal Stresses IV Feature

This is the fourth volume of the handbook Thermal Stresses. Following the principles established when the first volume was published in 1986, the fourth volume consists of six separate chapters prepared by specialists in the field. Each chapter is devoted to a different topic in the area of Thermal Stresses. Many results have been published for the first time in Thermal Stresses IV. The exposition of the material is on the state-of-the art level, which should be appropriate for graduate students, researchers, and engineers specializing in the field of stress analysis. In most cases the material is presented with some historical perspective. A large number of references provided will allow the readers to augment their knowledge, after studying a particular chapter.

Electronic Packaging: Design, Materials, Process, and Reliability Feature

The ultimate, up-to-the-minute electronic packaging resource

The ever-increasing pin counts and clock speeds of modern electronics continue to "push the performance envelope" with regard to designing packaging and interconnection solutions that can meet increasingly challenging requirements. Here's the help you need!

For the first time, four well-known experts representing the four relevant fields--mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, thermal management, and materials--team up to provide a single-volume comprehensive reference that explains packaging and interconnection basics, details design tradeoff considerations, and presents specific system-level solutions. This unprecedented and unsurpassed multi-disciplinary coverage not only includes all the new technologies--BGA, Flip Chip, DCA, and CSP--it shows how they can be most effectively integrated.

With its clear explication of both theoretical and practical issues, Electronic Packaging will be of considerable and continuing value if you hope to design and/or refine more reliable, robust, and cost-effective packaging solutions for virtually any interconnect system.
