Union-Find Data Structures and Algorithms - Definitive Reference for Developers and Engineers

Richard Johnson

Maison d'édition: HiTeX Press

Synopsis

"Union-Find Data Structures and Algorithms""Union-Find Data Structures and Algorithms" delivers a comprehensive exploration of the mathematical foundations, core implementations, and advanced techniques underpinning one of computer science’s most essential data structures. Seamlessly blending rigorous theoretical exposition with practical engineering insights, the book opens with foundational concepts in set theory, graph connectivity, and complexity analysis—equipping readers with the intellectual tools necessary to grasp the delicacy and depth of union-find. Key chapters unpack classical and amortized complexity, the role of the inverse Ackermann function, and the subtleties of formal data type abstractions, ensuring that readers build a solid baseline before engaging with more advanced material.The volume proceeds to a detailed survey of fundamental and optimized union-find implementations, tracing the evolution from array-based and linked-list structures to forest representations and persistent variants. It devotes special attention to algorithmic heuristics—including union by size, union by rank, and sophisticated path compression techniques—offering empirical benchmarks and comparative analyses that underscore both theoretical and real-world performance. Advanced sections tackle lower bounds, optimality proofs, and the challenges of dynamic updates, deletion, and parallelization, drawing clear connections to contemporary needs in distributed systems and high-performance computing.A hallmark of this text is its devotion to bridging theory with application. Through in-depth case studies, readers discover union-find’s pivotal role in minimizing spanning trees, processing large-scale graphs, enabling image segmentation, powering distributed consensus, and facilitating efficient clustering in data analysis and machine learning. The book concludes with forward-looking discussions on research frontiers, from quantum algorithms to privacy-aware and fault-tolerant systems, making it an indispensable reference for researchers, engineers, and students seeking a nuanced, authoritative treatment of union-find data structures in both classical and emerging domains.

The Evolutions of Social Media -...

Craig Dames

Social media has transformed the way people connect, communicate, and share information. What started as simple online forums and chat rooms has evolved into a powerful ecosystem of platforms that shape global conversations, influence public opinion, and drive business strategies. The rise of social media can be traced through key technological advancements and shifting user behaviors that have continuously redefined digital interactions.
In the early days of the internet, online communities were primarily built around forums, message boards, and early blogging platforms. Websites like Usenet and bulletin board systems (BBS) allowed users to engage in discussions based on shared interests, but they lacked the real-time engagement that modern social media provides. As internet speeds improved and web design became more sophisticated, platforms such as Friendster and MySpace emerged in the early 2000s, marking the beginning of social networking as we know it. These sites introduced profile customization, digital friendships, and a sense of online identity that encouraged users to invest more time in their virtual presence.
The launch of Facebook in 2004 marked a major shift in how people engaged with social media. Unlike its predecessors, Facebook prioritized real-world connections and streamlined communication. Instead of anonymous interactions, users connected with friends, family, and colleagues in a structured and highly interactive digital space. This approach quickly gained popularity, and other platforms such as Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram followed, each introducing unique features that catered to different aspects of online interaction. Twitter revolutionized real-time communication with its microblogging format, LinkedIn redefined professional networking, and Instagram capitalized on the growing demand for visual content.

Airbus A320 Special Operations

Facundo Conforti

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
The maneuvers of an Airbus A320 are extremely simple during normal operations. They may present minimal complexity during abnormal operations, but the aircraft is extremely easy to fly. 
	On the other hand, there are special operations that require a higher level of attention, and these are not necessarily abnormal operations or emergencies, but rather uncommon operations, such as flights in wind shear, volcanic ash, among others. 
	In this work, you will learn all the details of each of these special operations, which will take your understanding of A320 flight to the next level.

Dream States - Smart Cities and...

John Lorinc

"John Lorinc’s incisive analysis in Dream States reminds us that the search for urban utopia is not new. Throughout the book, Lorinc underscores the fact that a gamut of urban innovations – from smart city megaprojects to e-government to pandemic preparedness tools – only provide promise when scrutinized together with the political, economic, social, and physical complexities of urban life." – Shauna Brail, University of Toronto
   
"Dream States: Smart Cities, Technology, and the Pursuit of Urban Utopias takes us on a fascinating journey across world cities to show how technology has shaped them in the past and how smart city technology will reshape them in the future. This book is essential reading for policy makers, researchers, and practitioners interested in understanding the opportunities and challenges of smart city technology and what it means for city building." – Enid Slack, University of Toronto School of Cities
   
"“Utopia may be the oldest grift in the city-building business, but Dream States shows that technology is a timeless tool for turning the most ordinary of urban dreams – clean air and water, safe streets, and decent homes – into reality. As digital dilettantes try to sell us on a software overhaul, John Lorinc provides us an indispensable and flawless guide to the must-haves and never-agains of the smart city.” – Anthony Townsend, Urbanist in Residence, Cornell Tech, author of Smart Cities

Androids - The Team that Built...

Chet Haase

The fascinating inside story of how the Android operating system came to be. 
 
 
 
In 2004, Android was two people who wanted to build camera software but couldn't get investors interested. Today, Android is a large team at Google, delivering an operating system (including camera software) to over 3 billion devices worldwide. This is the inside story, told by the people who made it happen. 
 
 
 
Androids: The Team that Built the Android Operating System is a first-hand chronological account of how the startup began, how the team came together, and how they all built an operating system from the kernel level to its applications, and everything in between. It describes the tenuous beginnings of this ambitious project as a tiny startup, then as a small acquisition by Google that took on an industry with strong, entrenched competition. Author Chet Haase joined the Android team at Google in May 2010 and later recorded conversations with team members to preserve the early days of Android's history leading to the launch of 1.0. This engaging and accessible book captures the developers' stories in their own voices to answer the question: How did Android succeed?
