Overview: Mobile Response 2008, the Second International Workshop on Mobile Infor- tion Technology for Emergency Response, aimed at a focussed exchange on how mobile information technology can be e?ectively used to the bene?t of em- gency response. The gap between the great potential bene?t that usable mobile IT could yield in the domain of emergency response and the speci?c design challenges for such technologies in this particularly unforgiving domain was the foundation of our decision to create a venue for researchers and practitioners from di?erent disciplines. During this year’s workshopt

Overview: Provides a clear and concise description of memory elements.Discusses the physics of memory in detail.Makes a clear distinction between physical reality and fictitious claimsThis book, written by two pioneers in the field, provides a clear and concise description of memristors and other memory elements. It stresses the difference between their mathematical definition and physical reality. The reader will then be able to distinguish between what is experimentally realizable and various fictitious claims that plague the scientific literature. The discussion is kept simple enough that t
