The first comprehensive and up-to-date reference source on mechatronics, Robert Bishop’s The Mechatronics Handbook was quickly embraced as the standard reference in the field. Now, the second edition of this bestselling handbook is offered as two easily digestible books, each one focused on a particular area of mechatronics. In addition to new and updated material within many of the chapters, this revision also includes nine new chapters on such topics as engineering education, motion control, computer simulation of physical systems, field programmable gate arrays, simulation with LabVIEW ® , and graphical programming in mechatronics.

With updated coverage on all aspects of mechatronics, The Mechatronics Handbook, Second Edition is now available as a set of two books. Each installment offers focused coverage of a particular area of mechatronics, supplying a convenient and flexible source of specific information. The first of two books, Mechatronic Systems, Sensors, and Actuators: Fundamentals and Modeling offers a broad introduction to the field of mechatronics. It defines mechatronics, outlines design and control approaches, and details various methods of modeling the physical aspects of mechatronic systems. New chapters in this volume discuss mechatronic education and computer simulation of physical systems.

Each installment offers focused coverage of a particular area of mechatronics, supplying a convenient and flexible source of specific information. The second book, Mechatronic System Control, Logic, and Data Acquisition examines the various signals acquired and used in mechatronics and the control systems that depend upon these signals. After introducing the role of control in mechatronics, the book examines such topics as state space analysis, dynamic system response, Kalman filters as dynamic system state observers, neural and fuzzy controllers, and design optimization.

Mechatronics has evolved into a way of life in engineering practice, and it pervades virtually every aspect of the modern world. In chapters drawn from the bestselling and now standard engineering reference, The Mechatronics Handbook, this book introduces the vibrant field of mechatronics and its key elements: physical system modeling; sensors and actuators; signals and systems; computers and logic systems; and software and data acquisition. These chapters, written by leading academics and practitioners, were carefully selected and organized to provide an accessible, general outline of the subject ideal for non-specialists. Clear explanations and nearly 200 illustrations help bring the subject to life.

In this authoritative book, widely respected practitioner and teacher Matt Bishop presents a clear and useful introduction to the art and science of information security. Bishop's insights and realistic examples will help any practitioner or student understand the crucial links between security theory and the day-to-day security challenges of IT environments.

Bishop explains the fundamentals of security: the different types of widely used policies, the mechanisms that implement these policies, the principles underlying both policies and mechanisms, and how attackers can subvert these tools--as well as how to defend against attackers. A practicum demonstrates how to apply these ideas and mechanisms to a realistic company.

Coverage includes

• Confidentiality, integrity, and availability
• Operational issues, cost-benefit and risk analyses, legal and human factors
• Planning and implementing effective access control
• Defining security, confidentiality, and integrity policies
• Using cryptography and public-key systems, and recognizing their limits
• Understanding and using authentication: from passwords to biometrics
• Security design principles: least-privilege, fail-safe defaults, open design, economy of mechanism, and more
• Controlling information flow through systems and networks
• Assuring security throughout the system lifecycle
• Malicious logic: Trojan horses, viruses, boot sector and executable infectors, rabbits, bacteria, logic bombs--and defenses against them
• Vulnerability analysis, penetration studies, auditing, and intrusion detection and prevention
• Applying security principles to networks, systems, users, and programs

Introduction to Computer Security is adapted from Bishop's comprehensive and widely praised book, Computer Security: Art and Science. This shorter version of the original work omits much mathematical formalism, making it more accessible for professionals and students who have a less formal mathematical background, or for readers with a more practical than theoretical interest.
