Digital cities constitutes a multidisciplinary field of research
and development, where researchers, designers and developers of
communityware interact and collaborate with social scientists
studying the use and effects of these kinds of infrastructures and
systems in their local application context. The field is rather
young. After the diffusion of ICT in the world of organizations and
companies, ICT entered everyday life. And this also influenced ICT
research and development. The 1998 Workshop on Communityware and
Social Interaction in Kyoto was an early meeting in which this
emerging field was discussed. After that, two subsequent Digital
Cities workshops were organized in Kyoto, and a third one in
Amsterdam. This book is the result of the 3rd Workshop on Digital
Cities, which took place September 18 19, 2003 in Amsterdam, in
conjunction with the 1st Communities and Technologies Conference.
Most of the papers were presented at this workshop, and were
revised thoroughly afterwards. Also the case studies of digital
cities in Asia, the US, and Europe, included in Part I, were direct
offsprings of the Digital Cities Workshops. Together the papers in
this volume give an interesting state-of-the-art overview of the
field. In total 54 authors from the Americas, from Asia, and from
Europe were contributed to this volume. The authors come from
Brazil (two), the USA (eleven), China (three), Japan (fourteen),
Finland (two), Germany (two), Italy (three), Portugal (two), the
Netherlands (eight), and the UK (seven), indicating the
international nature of the research field."
Power Electronics Device Applications of Diamond Semiconductors
presents state-of-the-art research on diamond growth, doping,
device processing, theoretical modeling and device performance. The
book begins with a comprehensive and close examination of diamond
crystal growth from the vapor phase for epitaxial diamond and wafer
preparation. It looks at single crystal vapor deposition (CVD)
growth sectors and defect control, ultra high purity SC-CVD, SC
diamond wafer CVD, heteroepitaxy on Ir/MqO and needle-induced large
area growth, also discussing the latest doping and semiconductor
characterization methods, fundamental material properties and
device physics. The book concludes with a discussion of circuits
and applications, featuring the switching behavior of diamond
devices and applications, high frequency and high temperature
operation, and potential applications of diamond semiconductors for
high voltage devices.
