  • Abstract and Index and Web Discovery Services IEEE Partners
    ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract and Index and Web Discovery Services IEEE Partners Introduction This document is intended to provide a general overview of the abstract and indexing services and web discovery services that take in IEEE content. While this report is intended to provide readers with information on IEEE content indexed and in what service, there are several things to keep in mind: Services identified in this report do not cover everything in IEEE’s Xplore Digital Library either because IEEE does not provide all content to these services, or because only certain content was selected by a partner. Some services add and delete titles regularly, or include only select articles, in order to maintain a database that is relevant to their audience. While IEEE may provide a data feed for a particular subscription package (noted in the tables below), partners are not required to index all content. Most partners update their products at varying intervals and many Abstract and Indexing Services do not include corrected or updated article information. As a result, and given that these services and our agreements with these partners can and do change, readers of this report are encouraged to contact Krista Thom, Publishing Relations Program Specialist at [email protected] with specific questions. Abstract & Indexing Services Abstract and indexing services maintain databases, often subject-specific, which users can search to find relevant content. The data included in these services may be peer-reviewed journals, books, reports, and other types of content. Unlike web scale discovery services, these services collect metadata (including abstracts) from publishers and other organizations into large repositories or indexes.

  • Channel Coding
    1 Channel Coding: The Road to Channel Capacity Daniel J. Costello, Jr., Fellow, IEEE, and G. David Forney, Jr., Fellow, IEEE Submitted to the Proceedings of the IEEE First revision, November 2006 Abstract Starting from Shannon’s celebrated 1948 channel coding theorem, we trace the evolution of channel coding from Hamming codes to capacity-approaching codes. We focus on the contributions that have led to the most significant improvements in performance vs. complexity for practical applications, particularly on the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. We discuss algebraic block codes, and why they did not prove to be the way to get to the Shannon limit. We trace the antecedents of today’s capacity-approaching codes: convolutional codes, concatenated codes, and other probabilistic coding schemes. Finally, we sketch some of the practical applications of these codes. Index Terms Channel coding, algebraic block codes, convolutional codes, concatenated codes, turbo codes, low-density parity- check codes, codes on graphs. I. INTRODUCTION The field of channel coding started with Claude Shannon’s 1948 landmark paper [1]. For the next half century, its central objective was to find practical coding schemes that could approach channel capacity (hereafter called “the Shannon limit”) on well-understood channels such as the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. This goal proved to be challenging, but not impossible. In the past decade, with the advent of turbo codes and the rebirth of low-density parity-check codes, it has finally been achieved, at least in many cases of practical interest. As Bob McEliece observed in his 2004 Shannon Lecture [2], the extraordinary efforts that were required to achieve this objective may not be fully appreciated by future historians.

  • Network Information Theory
    Network Information Theory This comprehensive treatment of network information theory and its applications pro- vides the first unified coverage of both classical and recent results. With an approach that balances the introduction of new models and new coding techniques, readers are guided through Shannon’s point-to-point information theory, single-hop networks, multihop networks, and extensions to distributed computing, secrecy, wireless communication, and networking. Elementary mathematical tools and techniques are used throughout, requiring only basic knowledge of probability, whilst unified proofs of coding theorems are based on a few simple lemmas, making the text accessible to newcomers. Key topics covered include successive cancellation and superposition coding, MIMO wireless com- munication, network coding, and cooperative relaying. Also covered are feedback and interactive communication, capacity approximations and scaling laws, and asynchronous and random access channels. This book is ideal for use in the classroom, for self-study, and as a reference for researchers and engineers in industry and academia. Abbas El Gamal is the Hitachi America Chaired Professor in the School of Engineering and the Director of the Information Systems Laboratory in the Department of Electri- cal Engineering at Stanford University. In the field of network information theory, he is best known for his seminal contributions to the relay, broadcast, and interference chan- nels; multiple description coding; coding for noisy networks; and energy-efficient packet scheduling and throughput–delay tradeoffs in wireless networks. He is a Fellow of IEEE and the winner of the 2012 Claude E. Shannon Award, the highest honor in the field of information theory.

    Day 6: Comparing Themes Across Texts English Language Arts • Analyze the primary source quotes of Apollo 1 astronauts prior to their tragic deaths. Attempt to find a common theme that relates to the previous themes • Additional Resource Video: Apollo 1 Mission Results in Space Changes https://bit.ly/2DXV9gs The Apollo 1 Mission Videos of Quotes from the Apollo 1 Astronauts: https://ctm.americanexperience.org Directions: Consider the words of the following NASA astronauts who were scheduled to lift off in Apollo 1 on February 21, 1967. Virgil “Gus” Grissom: There's always a possibility that you can have a catastrophic failure, of course. This can happen on any flight. It can happen on the last one as well as the first one. You just plan as best you can to take care of all these eventualities, and you get a well-trained crew, and you go fly. Ed White: "I think you have to understand the feeling that a pilot has, that a test pilot has, that I look forward a great deal to making the first flight. There's a great deal of pride involved in making a first flight." (The New York Times, January 29, 1967, p. 48.) Roger Chaffee: “Oh, I don’t like to say anything scary about it. Um, there’s a lot of unknowns of course and a lot of problems that could develop, might develop. And they’ll have to be solved and that’s what we’re there for.” During a test launch approximately a month before their scheduled launch into space, these men suffered a tragic death when they were locked inside of their command module when a fire broke out aboard the ship.
