The book series Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering (LNEE) publishes the
latest developments in Electrical Engineering—quickly, informally and in high
quality. While original research reported in proceedings and monographs has
traditionally formed the core of LNEE, we also encourage authors to submit books
devoted to supporting student education and professional training in the various
fields and applications areas of electrical engineering. The series cover classical and
emerging topics concerning:
• Communication Engineering, Information Theory and Networks
• Electronics Engineering and Microelectronics
• Signal, Image and Speech Processing
• Wireless and Mobile Communication
• Circuits and Systems
• Energy Systems, Power Electronics and Electrical Machines
• Electro-optical Engineering
• Instrumentation Engineering
• Avionics Engineering
• Control Systems
• Internet-of-Things and Cybersecurity
• Biomedical Devices, MEMS and NEMS
