This book provides insights into the First International Conference on Communication, Devices and Computing (ICCDC 2017), which was held in Haldia, India on November 2–3, 2017. It covers new ideas, applications and the experiences of research engineers, scientists, industrialists, scholars and students from around the globe. The proceedings highlight cutting-edge research on communication, electronic devices and computing, and address diverse areas such as 5G communication, spread spectrum systems, wireless sensor networks, signal processing for secure communication, error control coding, printed antennas, analysis of wireless networks, antenna array systems, analog and digital signal processing for communication systems, frequency selective surfaces, radar communication, and substrate integrated waveguide and microwave passive components, which are key to state-of-the-art innovations in communication technologies.

Noisy data appear very naturally in applications where the authentication is based on physical identifiers. This book provides a self-contained overview of the techniques and applications of security based on noisy data. It provides a comprehensive overview of the theory of extracting cryptographic keys from noisy data, and describes applications in the field of biometrics, secure key storage, and anti-counterfeiting.

This book comprises select proceedings of the International Conference on Advances in Signal Processing and Communication Engineering (ICASPACE 2021). The book covers several theoretical and mathematical approaches addressing day-to-day challenges in signal, image, and speech processing and advanced communication systems. It primarily focuses on effective mathematical methods, algorithms, and models that enhance the performance of existing systems. The topics covered in the book are advances in signal processing (radar and biomedical), image processing, speech processing, technical and environmental challenges in 5G technology, and strategies for optimal utilization of resources to improve the efficacy of the communication systems in terms of bandwidth and radiating power, etc. The works published in the book will remarkably be helpful to prospective scholars, academicians, and students seeking knowledge in signal processing and communication engineering.

This book adheres to the vision that in the future compelling user experiences will be key differentiating benefits of products and services. It is the first book to combine academic and business viewpoints on measuring user experiences for product development. The book gathers authors from different backgrounds. This is a mosaic of their work, and that of Philips Research, in the assessment of user experience, covering the full range from academic research to commercial propositions.
