This book aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of tensor computation and its applications in seismic data analysis, exclusively catering to seasoned researchers, graduate students, and industrial engineers alike. Tensor emerges as a natural representation of multi-dimensional modern seismic data, and tensor computation can help prevent possible harm to the multi-dimensional geological structure of the subsurface that occurred in classical seismic data analysis. It delivers a wealth of theoretical, computational, technical, and experimental details, presenting an engineer's perspective on tensor computation and an extensive investigation of tensor-based seismic data analysis techniques. Embark on a transformative exploration of seismic data processing—unlock the potential of tensor computation and reshape your approach to high-dimensional geological structures. The discussion begins with foundational chapters, providing a solid background in both seismic data processing and tensor computation. The heart of the book lies in its seven chapters on tensor-based seismic data analysis methods. From structured low-tubal-rank tensor completion to cutting-edge techniques like tensor deep learning and tensor convolutional neural networks, each method is meticulously detailed. The superiority of tensor-based data analysis methods over traditional matrix-based data analysis approaches is substantiated through synthetic and real field examples, showcasing their prowess in handling high-dimensional modern seismic data. Notable chapters delve into seismic noise suppression, seismic data interpolation, and seismic data super-resolution using advanced tensor models. The final chapter provides a cohesive summary of the conclusion and future research directions, ensuring readers facilitate a thorough understanding of tensor computation applications in seismic data processing. The appendix includes a hatful of information on existing tensor computation software, enhancing the book's practical utility.

This book introduces the software defined system concept, architecture, and its enabling technologies such as software defined sensor networks (SDSN), software defined radio, cloud/fog radio access networks (C/F-RAN), software defined networking (SDN), network function virtualization (NFV), software defined storage, virtualization and docker. The authors also discuss the resource allocation and task scheduling in software defined system, mainly focusing on sensing, communication, networking and computation. Related case studies on SDSN, C/F-RAN, SDN, NFV are included in this book, and the authors discuss how these technologies cooperate with each other to enable cross resource management and task scheduling in software defined system. Novel resource allocation and task scheduling algorithms are introduced and evaluated. This book targets researchers, computer scientists and engineers who are interested in the information system softwarization technologies, resource allocation and optimization algorithm design, performance evaluation and analysis, next-generation communication and networking technologies, edge computing, cloud computing and IoT. Advanced level students studying these topics will benefit from this book as well.
