New telecom & computer titles from Old City Publishing.Science publisher Old City Publishing (Philadelphia, PA) will begin the publication of Ad Hoc For this purpose. Meaning "to this" in Latin, it refers to dealing with special situations as they occur rather than functions that are repeated on a regular basis. See ad hoc query and ad hoc mode. & Sensor Wireless Networks and the International Journal of Unconventional Computing Unconventional computing is computing by a wide range of new or unusual methods. It is also known as alternative computing. The different methods of uncoventional computing include optical computing, quantum computing, chemical computing, natural computing, with issues in January. Both will be published quarterly. An annual subscription for each title costs $90 for individuals and $426 for institutions. Ad Hoc & Sensor Wireless Networks is being launched to provide an opportunity for researchers in the computer science, engineering, mathametical fields to disseminate and exchange information in the emerging field of ad hoc and sensor wireless networks. It will cover physical, data link, network and transport layers, as well as application, security, simulation and power management issues in sensor, local, area, satellite, vehicular, personal and mobile ad hoc networks A wireless network that transmits from computer to computer. Instead of using a central base station (access point) to which all computers must communicate, this peer-to-peer mode of operation can greatly extend the distance of the wireless network. . The International Journal of Unconventional Computing will carry theoretical and experimental results in "non-classical computing." Editorial will cover such topics as massively parallel See MPP. computing, physics of computing, chemical computing, bio-molecular computing, complexity, logic of unconventional computing, smart actuators, novel hardware systems and mechanical computing. Established in 1995, Old City produces books as well as other journals in science, technology, medicine and the arts. Journal titles include Nonlinear Optics Nonlinear optics A field of study concerned with the interaction of electromagnetic radiation and matter in which the matter responds in a nonlinear manner to the incident radiation fields. and Journal of Marine Environmental Engineering. |
