Digital Image and Video watermarking
With the rapid development in digital techniques, internet usage has created a new set of challenging problems such as copyright protection, authentication and content integrity verification of the digital multimedia data (image, audio and video). Over the last few years, watermarking is extensively used as a potential solution to address these problems by embedding additional information (sequence/logo or any copyright information) called watermark into the digital multimedia content. In this book, two hybrid watermarking algorithms are proposed which are based on contourlet transform (CT) and nonsubsampled contourlet transform (NSCT) along with singular value decomposition (SVD) for still images and videos. Both the proposed watermarking algorithms are additive and non-blind which requires the presence of original image /video for watermark extraction /detection. Experimental results show that the combination of CT-SVD and NSCT-SVD based hybrid watermarking algorithms provide better imperceptibility and robustness to various attacks .

Diagnosis of Brain Tumor Using Wrapper Based Genetic Algorithm & Svm
The death rate due to tumor has been increasing enormously over the past three decades. This fact increases the importance of research in the medical field, to identify brain pathologies for tumor segmentation and detection, which helps the neurosurgeon to diagnose brain disease and to set up most suitable treatment for the pathology. Normally, manual segmentation of brain image is a tedious and laborious task due to the processing of large amount of data and also due to the presence of minute brain lesions.

Computer-Controlled Systems with Delay
Computer-Controlled Systems with Delay is a systematic study of the problems of analysis and synthesis for multidimensional sampled-data (SD) systems with delay. It is based on the frequency polynomial method, in which the concept of a parametric transfer matrix (PTM) plays a key role. Until now, no alternative general methods have been available to solve the above problems. The text is divided into three parts: background information from the theory of polynomial and rational matrices, helps the reader to acquire the basic understanding necessary to use the main content of the book without addressing additional sources; methods for the mathematical description of multidimensional SD systems with delay, based on the concept of the PTM; and optimization methods for multidimensional SD systems with delay, including H2 andL2 optimization as well as H2 optimization for colored input signals. The monograph is completed by three appendices. An algorithm for constructing the set of pathological sampling periods for a continuous SISO object with delay is provided first. MATLAB(R)-toolbox algorithms representing methods described in the book and application examples for selected optimization problems are given in the second. A solution to the problem of guaranteeing the required performance in a class of stochastic disturbances for SD systems with delay is considered in the third. Computer-Controlled Systems with Delay is intended for engineers, scientists and teachers working in modern control theory. It will also benefit post-graduate students taking courses in related disciplines. The book continues the description of the authors' research results on developing methods for SD systems theory which are based onthe PTM concept and published in the monographs Computer Controlled Systems and Multivariable Computer-controlled Systems.

Heterogeneous Cyber Physical Systems of Systems
Cyber-physical systems are the natural extension of the so-called "Internet of Things". They are "systems of collaborating computational elements controlling physical entities". Cyber Physical Systems of Systems (CPSoS) are considered "The Next Computing Revolution" after Mainframe computing (60's-70's), Desktop computing & Internet (80's-90's) and Ubiquitous computing (00's); because all aspects of daily life are rapidly evolving towards humans interacting amongst themselves as well as their environment via computational devices (often mobile), and because in most cases systems will employ their computational capabilities to interact amongst themselves. CPSoS enable the physical world to merge with the cyber one. Using sensors, the embedded systems monitor and collect data from physical processes, such as the steering of a vehicle, energy consumption or human health functions. The systems are networked making the data globally available. CPSoS make it possible for software applications to directly interact with events in the physical world, for example to measure and react to changes in blood pressure or peaks in energy consumption. Embedded hardware and software systems crucially expand the functionality and competitiveness of vehicles, aircraft, medical equipment, production plants and household appliances. Connecting these systems to a virtual environment of globally networked services and information systems opens completely new areas of innovation and novel business platforms.Future CPSoS will have many sophisticated, interconnected parts that must instantaneously exchange, parse, and act on detailed data in a highly coordinated manner. Continued advances in science and engineering will be necessary to enable advances in design and development of these complex systems. Multi- scale, multi-layer, multi-domain, and multi-system integrated infrastructures will require new foundations in system science and engineering. Scientists and engineers with an understanding of otherwise physical systems will need to work in tandem with computer and information scientists to achieve effective, workable designs. In this tutorial, basic and advanced issues on the design of the future heterogeneous CPSoS are presented including relevant Blockchain technologies, reconfigurable systems, advanced sensor interfaces and human-centered design processes. Certain advanced tools for the design and implementation of the cyber parts of the CPSoS (i.e. FPGA design tools from Xilinx) are also covered.

Universities as Engines of Economic Development
This book describes patterns of behavior that collectively allow universities to exchange knowledge more effectively with industry, accelerate innovation and eventually contribute to economic development. These are based on the effective practices of leading and ambitious universities around the world that the authors have benchmarked, and the personal experiences of the authors in a number of international institution building projects, including those of MIT.The authors provide guidance that is globally applicable, but must be locally adapted. The approach is first to describe the context in which universities act as engines of economic development, and then present a set of effective practices in four domains: education, research, innovation, and supporting practices. Each of these domains has three to six practices, and each practice is presented in a similar template, with an abstract, a rationale and description, key actions and one or two mini-case studies. The practices are summarized by integrative case studies. The book: Focuses on a globally adaptable set of effective practices, complemented by case studies, that can enhance universities' contribution to economic development, based on an integrated view of education, research and innovation;Presents effective practices and broader insights that come from real global experience, spelled out in templates and explained by cases;Includes tangible resources for university leaders, policy makers and funders on how to proceed.
