Chapman & Hall/CRC Textbooks in Computing
About the Book Series
As the field of computing grows and evolves, it has become increasingly important to develop quality textbooks for students. This series covers traditional areas of computing, as well as related technical areas, such as software engineering, artificial intelligence, computer engineering, information systems, and information technology. The series will accommodate textbooks for undergraduate and graduate students, generally adhering to worldwide curriculum standards from professional societies.
The editors wish to encourage new and imaginative ideas and proposals, and are keen to help and encourage new authors. They are very conscious of the need to reform and revitalize the way in which computing is taught and are eager to provide a vehicle for novel ideas. The editors welcome proposals that:
- Provide groundbreaking and imaginative perspectives on aspects of computing
- Present topics in a new and exciting context
- Open up opportunities for emerging areas, such as multi-media, security, and mobile systems
- Capture new developments and applications in emerging fields of computing
- Address topics that provide support for computing, such as mathematics, statistics, life and physical sciences, and business
