ence of context in these measurements. The everyday-life contexts of future products and machines will be always specific, especially in comparison to the standard laboratory situation. Context can impact the experience measurements and influence the occur- rence and characteristics of certain signals. On the other hand, independent knowledge of the context could be very valuable for the interpretation of experience measurements. This book provides an overview of the present knowledge on the impact of context, and advocates the need for a joint understanding of its role in the measurement of experience.

tion of an IC design. This book presents approaches to avoid crosstalk in both on-chip as well as off-chip busses. These approaches allow the user to trade off the degree of crosstalk mitigation against the associated implementation overheads. In this way, a continuum of techniques is presented, which help improve the speed and power consumption of the bus interconnect. These techniques encode data before transmission over the bus to avoid certain undesirable crosstalk conditions and thereby improve the bus speed and/or energy consumption.

This book will serve as the definitive text on the friction-induced vibration of lead screws and will identify ways to prevent self-excited vibration by design. It includes several approaches to actively suppress vibration using robust control methodologies. More on www.springer.com/978-1-4419-1751-5 Due March 2010 2010.
