This book focuses on the design of a Mega-Gray (a standard unit of
total ionizing radiation) radiation-tolerant ps-resolution
time-to-digital converter (TDC) for a light detection and ranging
(LIDAR) system used in a gamma-radiation environment. Several
radiation-hardened-by-design (RHBD) techniques are demonstrated
throughout the design of the TDC and other circuit techniques to
improve the TDC's resolution in a harsh environment are also
investigated. Readers can learn from scratch how to design a
radiation-tolerant IC. Information regarding radiation effects,
radiation-hardened design techniques and measurements are
organized in such a way that readers can easily gain a thorough
understanding of the topic. Readers will also learn the design
theory behind the newly proposed delta-sigma TDC. Readers can
quickly acquire knowledge about the design of radiation-hardened
bandgap voltage references and low-jitter relaxation oscillators,
which are introduced in the content from a designer's perspective.

Transportation routing has been enhanced by the research and
development in both Geographic Information System (GIS) and network
analysis. This book furthers the advancement by tackling
transportation routing for an extensive area with real-time events.
An open framework was introduced by: 1) leveraging microscopic
transportation simulation for travel time estimation and
prediction; 2) incorporating road weather information as an example
of real-time event; 3) identifying the shortest-path in a
space-time network; 4) enabling Grid computing in both traffic
simulation over large areas and routing for massive concurrent user
requests; and 5) integrating web-based GIServices based upon
interoperability approaches. This book is for people who are
interested in research and developments of cyber-infrastructure
applications, transportation networks and topology analyses,
distributed geospatial information processing, and geospatial
interoperability.
