This book offers students a task-based introduction to Computer-Mediated Communication and the impact of the internet on social interaction. Divided... into four parts which require students to learn, (theory), critique, (current issues), explore, (methods), and reflect, (practice), the book aims to: · Provide a foundation to the social and communicative nature of information and communication technologies· Enable students to engage with the key theoretical issues associated with CMC· Equip students with the necessary research and technical skills as a stimulus to independent enquiry.In spite of the rapidly increasing interest in Internet Studies and CMC and the introduction of many university courses in the area, no specialised, introductory textbook exists. This coursebook responds to the need for such a text. Aimed primarily at communication students, this book would also be useful as a sourcebook for students of media, sociology, psychology, and English Language Studies.The authors have also created a companion website at http://www.com.washington.edu/cmc

Computer-Mediated Communication introduces students to the terms, theories, and issues associated with the use of the Internet in personal and social... contexts. Each section of this text focuses on helping students understand how computer-mediated communication (CMC) is used in contemporary society. It provides different ways to think about how CMC is used to build interpersonal relationships, develop group communication, and support public communication both locally and globally--all while exploring social issues and challenges facing those who communicate via the computer.

This is the first collection of readings on computer-mediated communication focusing exclusively on interpersonal interactions. Examining messages... exchanged via email, Twitter, Facebook, websites, and blogs, the authors analyze communication issues of ongoing importance in relationships including deception, disclosure, identity, influence, perception, privacy, sexual fidelity, and social support. This book examines subjects that attract intense student interest—including online performance of gender, online dating, and using computer-mediated communication to achieve family/work life balance—and will inspire further research and course development in the area of computer-mediated communication in personal relationships. Because it provides a synthesis of ideas at the nexus of interpersonal communication theory and computer-mediated communication theory, the book can serve as a textbook for advanced undergraduate as well as graduate courses.

Substantially revised and updated, Computer Methods for Engineering with MATLAB® Applications, Second Edition presents equations to describe... engineering processes and systems. It includes computer methods for solving these equations and discusses the nature and validity of the numerical results for a variety of engineering problems. This edition now uses MATLAB in its discussions of computer solution. New to the Second Edition Recent advances in computational software and hardware A large number of MATLAB commands and programs for solving exercises and to encourage students to develop their own computer programs for specific problems Additional exercises and examples in all chapters New and updated references The text follows a systematic approach for obtaining physically realistic, valid, and accurate results through numerical modeling. It employs examples from many engineering areas to explain the elements involved in the numerical solution and make the presentation relevant and interesting. It also incorporates a wealth of solved exercises to supplement the discussion and illustrate the ideas and methods presented. The book shows how a computational approach can provide physical insight and obtain inputs for the analysis and design of practical engineering systems.

Designed for those people who want to gain a practical knowledge of modern techniques, this book contains all the material necessary for a course on the... numerical solution of differential equations. Written by two of the field's leading authorities, it provides a unified presentation of initial value and boundary value problems in ODEs as well as differential-algebraic equations. The approach is aimed at a thorough understanding of the issues and methods for practical computation while avoiding an extensive theorem-proof type of exposition. It also addresses reasons why existing software succeeds or fails. This is a practical and mathematically well informed introduction that emphasizes basic methods and theory, issues in the use and development of mathematical software, and examples from scientific engineering applications. Topics requiring an extensive amount of mathematical development are introduced, motivated, and included in the exercises, but a complete and rigorous mathematical presentation is referenced rather than included.

This text reflects the current state of computer technology and music composition. The authors offer clear, practical overviews of program languages,... real-time synthesizers, digital filtering, artificial intelligence, and much more.

This book presents networking concepts with a “practical” approach. It backs technical concepts and information with relevant applications in the... business and education worlds, providing learners with a “context” to understand the material. A five-part organization includes an introduction and sections on data communications, communications networks, internetworking, and network management. For a variety of jobs in the fields of electronic and computer technology.

With the advent of the World Wide Web the global Internet has rapidly become the dominant type of computer network. It now enables people around the... world to use the Web for E-Commerce and interactive entertainment applications, in addition to e-mail and IP telephony. As a result, the study of computer networking is now synonymous with the study of the Internet and its applications. The 5th edition of this highly successful text has been completely revised to focus entirely on the Internet, and so avoids the necessity of describing protocols and architectures that are no longer relevant. As many Internet applications now involve multiple data types ¿ text, images, speech, audio and video ¿ the book explains in detail how they are represented. A number of different access networks are now used to gain access to the global Internet.  Separate chapters illustrate how each type of access network operates, and this is followed by a detailed account of the architecture and protocols of the Internet itself and the operation of the major application protocols. This body of knowledge is made accessible by extensive use of illustrations and worked examples that make complex systems more understandable at first glance.  This makes the book ideal for self-study or classroom use for students in Computer Science or Engineering, as well as being a comprehensive reference for practitioners who require a definitive guide to networking.
