The Synthesis Collection of Technology provides coverage of leading edge topics across the fields of Engineering and Computer Science. Editorial Director, Charles Glaser, has summarised the highlights of the collection.

Engineers and scientists are engaged in fields where they need leading-edge information, as well as broad, fundamental knowledge. They would like to find exactly what they want, when they need it, without having to search or buy traditional books, which may involve consuming a "package" of information. The availability of web-based information has created an information consumer who is no longer willing to buy information they may not want, in order to get the concise information, they need most. Our strategy with the Synthesis Collection of Technology is to develop authoritative, short, focused ���lectures��� that fill this information need.

Efficient and effective peer communication

Many potential authors feel that there are certain topics or subjects where they have a great deal of valuable information they wish to pass on to their peers, however few have the time or desire to develop a full-length traditional book. Synthesis lectures offer a format for authors to communicate to their peers with high efficiency and effectiveness. Most of these books take months, rather than years to develop and they move through the 50業子 production workflow rapidly. The 64 series that make up the Synthesis Collection of Technology accommodate a broad spectrum of content across Computer Science and Engineering. Specific topics are chosen by series editors, in consultation with the authors and publisher.
