Synthesis Digital Library of Engineering and Computer Science

Connect to Synthesis Digital Library of Engineering and Computer Science

The basic component of the library is a 50- to 100-page electronic book, called Lectures, that synthesizes an important research or development topic, authored by a prominent contributor to the field. They are more modular and dynamic than traditional print or digital handbooks, such as collected volumes and monographs. and offer ideal entry points to new areas for researchers, advanced developers, and students.

SYNTHESIS is organized by series, each managed by a prominent consulting editor. The series editor oversees lecture topic and author selection as well as peer review to assure quality. SYNTHESIS launched in October 2005 with an initial selection of series in engineering and computer science. New titles in each series will be posted to the site as they become available.

Additional series and titles will be added and revised as necessary. Over time, SYNTHESIS will grow to encompass the entire scope of its subject disciplines. Our goal is to create one of the largest and most complete compilations of knowledge in engineering and computer science.
