Adaptive Hardware and Systems; Proceedings.9780769526140 Adaptive hardware and systems; proceedings. NASA/ESA conference on Adaptive Hardware and Systems (2006: Istanbul, Turkey) Ed. by Adrian Stoica et al. Computer Society Press 2006 486 pages $201.00 Paperback TK5105 Papers from a June 2006 conference detail fundamentals, theory, and adaptive technology Adaptive technology is the name for products which help people who cannot use regular versions of products, primarily people with physical disabilities such as limitations to vision, hearing, and mobility. in the areas of analog circuits analog circuit, electronic circuit that operates with currents and voltages that vary continuously with time and have no abrupt transitions between levels. Generally speaking, analog circuits are contrasted with digital circuits, which function as though currents or , antennas, optical systems, and signal processing See DSP. , and examine the evolution of digital systems, the design and development of reconfigurable devices, and architecture. Other topics include morphogenetic morphogenetic /mor·pho·ge·net·ic/ (mor?fo-je-net´ik) producing growth; producing form or shape. and cellular adaptive hardware, fault-tolerant and self-repair systems, and applications to sensing, image processing image processing Set of computational techniques for analyzing, enhancing, compressing, and reconstructing images. Its main components are importing, in which an image is captured through scanning or digital photography; analysis and manipulation of the image, accomplished , communications, biometrics, and content- based security systems. Some specific projects described are an adaptive micro-antenna on silicon substrate, and hardware accelerators for evolving building block modules for artificial brains.
