This is an open access book. The Faculty of Law (FOL), Multimedia University will hold the 2nd International Conference on Law and Digitalization 2022 (ICLD22) on 25-27 July 2022 (Virtual Conference). ICLD22 will be part of the bigger Digital Future Congress (DIFCON 2022) comprising of various other conferences of multidisciplinary academic interests. The aim of ICLD22 is to provide a platform for both local and international academics, practitioners, policymakers, researchers and students to meet, share ideas and knowledge in law and digitalization through paper presentation. It also aims to encourage academic linkages between the academicians and the researchers from the legal fraternity. It also promotes future co-operations among the intellectuals from various fields and disciplines.

This book aims to help research practitioners in technology science avoid some of the most common pitfalls or at least make them easier to overcome. Many technology scientists put too little weight on how they conduct their work and should be able to become significantly better at what they do by being more aware of methodological issues. The book differs from other related works in two main respects: First, by focusing on creating, producing, or inventing new artifacts – in other words, technology science. Second, by describing a general approach to technology science linking together specialized research methods. The book consists of 14 chapters. Following the first introductory chapter are two chapters providing the foundation for the rest of the book. These chapters clarify the meaning of key concepts and describe an overall process for technology science. The subsequent chapters 4–11 are about this process. Chapters 4, 5, and 6 concern problem analysis, research planning, and hypothesis formulation. The following five chapters then aim at evaluation. Chapter 7 introduces the concept of prediction, which plays a fundamental role in evaluating hypotheses. Chapters 8–10 address the evaluation of universal, existential, and statistical hypotheses. Chapter 11 concerns quality assurance and introduces the concepts of validity and reliability. Next, in chapters 12 and 13, we address publishing with an emphasis on the specifics of technology science. Eventually the last chapter, chapter 14, briefly introduces the philosophy of science. The book systematically collects in the form of suggestions, recommendations, and guidelines the author’s 35-year experience as a researcher, author and reviewer in technology science. It is written for anyone working in technology science, from master’s students to researchers and supervisors.

Embark on a journey into the world of embedded programming. This book introduces you to the 32bit PIC and will teach you how the main functions of C programming work and can be used with a PIC micro. A one-stop reference for the would-be embedded programmer, you'll explore the electronics needed for a variety of programs as well as how to use different devices with the PIC. The book starts with downloading the environment and creating a simple project, one that uses different oscillators, Phase Lock Loop, and circuitry needed to create the different system clocks—an easy entry point to this exciting environment. You'll also review the MPLABX integrated development environment (IDE) and see how to program the 32Bit PIC, which can be adapted to different PICs. Throughout subsequent chapters, you’ll learn how to use a range of programs that use PIC modules such as the SPI, I2C, UART communication modules, the ADC module, the Capture, Compare, and Pulse Width Modulation module, and the RTCC, Real Time Clock and Calendar Module. You will: Create a project in MPLABX Configure the different clock frequencies that are used in the 32bit PIC Build a variable delay subroutine to be used in a simple traffic lights program Use the MAX 7219 driver IC to control the 8by8 matrix display Program an I2C expander module to control the display on a LCD.

Learn to use the Arduino boards to do big jobs in a simple way. This book is full of real-world examples for Arduino enthusiasts of all experience levels. All of the examples in this book use Arduino UNO, which is an excellent option for educational purposes. You'll start with an introduction to Arduino and see firsthand how its free multi-platform integrated development environment (IDE) makes coding easier. In many cases, you can edit the given codes to solve your own problems. Arduino boards use a variety of microcontrollers and each board is suitable for a specific application. The Arduino IDE is also preloaded with a broad library of codes that you can modify and practice with. So instead of coding from scratch you can adjust the codes for similar projects. More experienced users will save time by simply copying nuggets of code from the various libraries. You'll also learn about digital input/output (I/O), analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, LCDs and EEPROM. The book then moves on to serial communication, mathematical functions, and pulse width modulation (PWM), all important features when encoding in telecommunications. Finally, you'll see how to control different types of motors, review interrupts, internal comparators, and timers, and read different sensors with Arduino. You will: Turn on/off a device using a relay Generate analog/digital output Read an analog/digital input Control motors with a parallel virtual machine (PVM) and serial communication Display text with LCDs Read sensors with Arduino and use the interrupts Write more efficient codes with interrupts and timers.

This unique, accessible textbook presents a succession of implementations of the open-source RISC-V processor. Implementations are offered in increasing difficulty (non-pipelined, pipelined, deeply pipelined, multi-threaded, multicore). Each implementation is shown as a High-Level Synthesis (HLS) code in C++. This facilitates synthesis and testing on an FPGA-based development board (Such a board can be freely obtained from the Xilinx University Program targeting university professors). The book can be useful for several reasons. First, it is a novel way to introduce computer architecture: The codes given can serve as labs for a processor architecture course. Second, the book content is based on the RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture, which is an open-source machine language promising to become the main machine language to be taught, replacing DLX and MIPS. Third, all the designs are implemented through the HLS tool, which is able to translate a C program into an intellectual property (IP). Lastly, HLS will become the new standard for IP implementations, replacing Verilog/VHDL; already there are job positions tied to HLS, with the argument of rapid IP development. Hence, in addition to offering undergraduates a firm introduction, the textbook/guide can also serve engineers willing to implement processors on FPGA, as well as researchers willing to develop RISC-V based hardware simulators. Bernard Goossens is Professor in the Faculty of Sciences at the Université de Perpignan, France. He is author of the French-language book from Springer, Architecture et microarchitecture des processeurs, 2002.
