Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks: A Cross-Layer Design Perspective deals with the emerging design trend that transcends traditional communication layers for performance gains in ad hoc and sensor networks. The author explores the current state of the art in cross-layer approaches for ad hoc and sensor networks, providing a comprehensive design resource.
The book offers a structured comparison and analysis of both layered and cross-layer design, providing readers with an overview of the many issues relating to ad hoc and sensor networks. The benefits of these cross-layer approaches are examined through three diverse case studies: a monitoring sensor network using Radio Frequency waves, an ad hoc network that uses Ultra Wide Band Radio, and an acoustic underwater sensor network for environmental monitoring.
Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks: A Cross-Layer Design Perspective is interdisciplinary in character, and should be of value to software engineers, hardware engineers, application developers, network protocol designers, graduate students, communication engineers, systems engineers, and university professors.

Cryptographic Algorithms on Recongfigurable Hardware
Now Available!
Rodriguez-Henriquez, F., Saqib, N.A., Díaz Pérez, A., Koc, C.K.
2007, XXVI, 362 p., Hardcover
ISBN-10: 0-387-33883-7
ISBN-13: 978-0-387-33883-5
Cryptographic Algorithms on Recongfigurable Hardware covers the study of computational methods, computer arithmetic algorithms, and design improvement techniques needed to implement efficient cryptographic algorithms in FPGA hardware platforms.
The concepts and techniques reviewed in this book emphasize the practical aspects of reconfigurable hardware design, discussing the basic mathematicsinvolved and giving a comprehensive description of state-of-the-asrt implementation techniques. The authors show how high-speed cryptographic algorithms can be implemented on reconfigurable hardware devices without posing prohibitive requirements for hardware resources.
This material will be of interest to engineering professionals, programmers, hardware designers, and graduate students interested in the development of security and cryptographic mechanisms at a beginning/intermediate level.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an automatic identification method, relying on storing and remotely retrieving data using devices called RFID tags or transponders. An RFID tag is an object that can be attached to or incorporated into a product, animal, or person for the purpose of identification using radio waves. Chip-based RFID tags contain silicon chips and antennas. Active tags require an internal power source, while passive tags do not.

Chip-based RFID tags contain silicon chips and antennas. Active tags require an internal power source, while passive tags do not.
Design and Optimization of UHF RFID Systems considers the analysis, design and optimization of UHF passive RFID systems for long-range applications. There are many key aspects thoroughly described in the text:
- Wireless power transmission
- Tag-to-reader backscattering communication
- Reader and tag architectures and IC design.
Wireless power transmission is studied using a rectifier (a fundamental tag building-block) for which there has been a proven prediction model developed. Proposed is a theoretical analysis of possible backscattering modulations, as well as an experimental procedure to measure how the impedance modulation at the tag side, affects the signal at the reader. Finally, a complete tag design achieving a read range of 12 m at 2.45 GHz (4 W EIRP) is provided. At the time of writing, the results of this design outperform any other available IC tag.

Introduction
The purpose of this page is to share information about Springer's publishing program in engineering. More specifically, I hope that this will be a forum to introduce new projects and publications in the area of electrical engineering, and as an informational site for current and potential authors or editors.
I will be posting announcements concerning current and forthcoming publications, as well as links to information on conferences and other relevant resources.
Questions and comments are always welcome.
Best wishes,
Jason Ward
