From the reviews:“It is an appropriate resource for graduate students, software developers, and researchers. … Each chapter is a standalone presentation with a set of references at the end. A comprehensive subject matter index combines all of the chapters, which readers will find useful. … chapters are especially relevant for software developers and designers who want to review current research. … each chapter is well written, and I recommend this presentation of cutting-edge work.” (Brad Reid, ACM Computing Reviews, December, 2011)
