SYNTHESIS is an innovative information service for the research, development and educational communities in engineering and computer science. It combines authoritative content with advanced digital delivery to create a product that is substantially more useful than traditional print and digital publications.
SYNTHESIS is expected to be useful to a broad range of professionals, researchers, and students.
For the researcher, it provides an ideal introduction to new fields. This is an increasingly important benefit as science and engineering become more interdisciplinary.
For the practicing engineer, it provides a method of staying current on developments in research at university, corporate, and government labs.
For the professor and student, it provides a source of information on advanced topics that will be more accessible than the journal literature and that can be relied upon to be authoritative and complete. SYNTHESIS titles are available to licensing institutions campus-wide with unlimited concurrent use. Titles can also be saved, printed, and emailed, making them perfect for courses of any size.
Recently SYNTHESIS has added 10 new titles to the collection. For more information on the titles check out SYNTHESIS digital library
