Since using visibility graphs in robotics is very time-consuming, professionals have taken to using parallel models-this book addresses the main issues concerning visibility-related problems in parallel models of computation, as well as their current and prospective future applications Discusses visibility problems in technology and scientific research, manufacturing industries, the healthcare industry, telemedicine, homeland security, and many others Includes mesh-based multi-computers, coarse-grain computers, triangulation problems and object visibility algorithms

Master the numerical simulation process required to design, test and support mobile and parallel computing systems. An accompanying ftp site contains all the Visual C++ based programs discussed in the text to help readers create their own programs. With its focus on problems and solutions, this is an excellent text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, and a must-have reference for researchers and professionals in the field of simulations. More information about Visual C++ based programs can be found at: ftp: //ftp.wiley.com/public/sci_tech_med/numerical_simulations/
