Book SynopsisHere is a book that takes the sting out of learning object-oriented design patterns! Using vignettes from the fictional world of Harry Potter, author Avinash C. Kak provides a refreshing alternative to the typically abstract and dry object-oriented design literature. Designing with Objects is unique. It explains design patterns using the short-story medium instead of sterile examples. It is the third volume in a trilogy by Avinash C. Kak, following Programming with Objects (Wiley, 2003) and Scripting with Objects (Wiley, 2008). Designing with Objects confronts how difficult it is for students to learn complex patterns based on conventional scenarios that they may not be able to relate to. In contrast, it shows that stories from the fictional world of Harry Potter provide highly relatable and engaging models. After explaining core notions in a pattern and its typical use in real-world applications, each chapter shows how a pattern can be mapped to a Table of ContentsPREFACE xiv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS xix 1 Why

Book SynopsisA rare look at the role of special effects in creating fictional worlds and transmedia franchises From comic book universes crowded with soaring superheroes and shattering skyscrapers to cosmic empires set in far-off galaxies, today's fantasy blockbusters depend on visual effects. Bringing science fiction from the studio to your screen, through film, television, or video games, these special effects power our entertainment industry. More Than Meets the Eye delves into the world of fantastic media franchises to trace the ways in which special effects over the last 50 years have become central not just to transmedia storytelling but to worldbuilding, performance, and genre in contemporary blockbuster entertainment. More Than Meets the Eye maps the ways in which special effects build consistent storyworlds and transform genres while traveling from one media platform to the next. Examining high-profile franchises in which special effects have played a constitutiTrade ReviewElegantly written and extensively researched, More Than Meets the Eye makes an impressive contribution to digital and special effects studies. Bob Rehak moves beyond critical perspectives that have dominated this area of inquiry, exploring how special effects have a life of their own beyond momentary appearances in films and television programs. Studying both analog and digital effects and their continuing interface, he finds that they create vast narrative networks across media, platforms, and time, speaking to a variety of concerns in media studies from authorship and convergence culture to performance and fan labor. That he is able to bring exciting new concepts to bear on canonical media franchises like Star Wars, Star Trek, and Lord of the Rings is a testament to the provocative originality of this book. -- Barbara Klinger,author of Beyond the Multiplex: Cinema, New Technologies, and the HomeRehak has produced the kind of history that film and media studies needsrightnow, and his book displays elegance and serious intellectual chops in equal measure. Hes unafraid of theory or his predecessors, hes alert to both the big picture and nuances of form, and his scholarshipin numerous areasis thorough. More Than Meets the Eye is hugely original and a pleasure to read. -- Scott Bukatman,author of Hellboy’s World: Comics and Monsters on the Margins

Book SynopsisDesigning and controlling complex shapes like porous volumes and rough surfaces is a challenge. Fractal geometry is an interesting approach which considerably simplify the problem. Even though underlying concepts reduce the set possible shapes, they generate a surprising variety of shapes. In this book we present a formalism to design such complex objects for geometric aided geometry design applications. The goal of this formalism is to provide to the end user the possibility to manipulate fractal objects as a standard euclidean object with standard tools of CAD system. This formalism encompass curves, surfaces, volumes, as well as NURBS and subdivision surfaces. All theoretical and practical aspects are developed, from the design up to 3D printing.Table of Contents1 Introduction to fractal geometry 2 Model BCIF 2.1 Iterated Function System (IFS) 2.2 Controlled Iterated Function System (CIFS) 2.3 Boundary Controlled Iterated Function System (BCIFS) 3 Example of design 3.1 curves and wire-frames 3.2 surfaces and laces 3.3 volumes and porous objects 3.4 Trees 4 Topological combination 5 Efficient approximation for 3D printing 6 NURBS and Subdivision surfaces and (BCIFS) 7 Applications

Book SynopsisThis book focuses on FPGA EDA tools, the very foundation of FPGA technology. Instead of illustrating how to use them, this book dives into the tools themselves, revealing how these tools are being designed and how they may improve. Unlike other semiconductors, FPGA has a distinctive two-stage EDA system: chip design EDA and application design EDA.State-of-the-art algorithms, data models and design methodologies/standards are the main concerns of this book, and these will be very helpful for FPGA EDA engineers and researchers to obtain a bird’s eye view of this complicated knowledge system. In the chip design EDA part, full-custom and semicustom methodologies bring up ASIC-like EDA tools, and in the application design EDA side, typical topics including high-level synthesis, logic synthesis, physical implementation, bitstream configuration, etc., are well discussed.Table of ContentsPart I: Introduction Chapter1: Introduction 1.1 FPGA Hardware Brief Introduction 1.1.1 FPGA Concept 1.1.2 FPGA Hardware Evolution 1.1.3 FPGA Compares With Other Architectures 1.2 FPGA EDA Brief Introduction 1.2.1 FPGA EDA Concept . 1.2.2 FPGA chip design EDA 1.2.3 FPGA application design EDA Part II: FPGA Chip Design EDA Chapter2: Full-custom EDA Chapter3: Semi-custom EDA Part III: FPGA Application Design EDA Chapter4: FPGA Device Modelling 3.1 Device Info Description Level 3.2 Device Info Model Classification 3.3 Device Info Model Instances 3.4 Device Info Data Structure Chapter5:FPGA Design Modelling 4.1 Design Info Description Level 4.2 Design Info Model Classification 4.3 Design Info Model Instances 4.4 Design Info Data Structure Chapter6: High Level Synthesis (HLS) 5.1.
