The compiler is one of the most important aspects of system software. When
any computer user develops a computer program, one must use some programming
language, rather than using a computer instruction set. This implies
that there must be the compiler of the programming language that
has been installed on the computer one uses, and...
Computers play an increasingly important role in our society. A breakdown of all
computer systems would cause a breakdown of almost all activities of daily life.
Furthermore, personal computers are available in almost every home in the industrialized
world. But there is one sector where computers have a more strategic role, and
that...
We describe in this book, hybrid intelligent systems using type-2 fuzzy logic and
modular neural networks for pattern recognition applications. Hybrid intelligent
systems combine several intelligent computing paradigms, including fuzzy logic,
neural networks, and bio-inspired optimization algorithms, which can be used to
produce...
The recognition that chemicals in food, whatever their origin, might
present a risk to the consumer has long been recognised. However, early
food regulations at the beginning of the century were primarily aimed at
prevention of adulteration and fraud rather than directed at consumer
safety. It is only in the second half of the century...
The Linked Open Data Project started just four years ago in 2007. In that short time
Linked Data has grown into an almost mainstream activity for many governments
around the world. As of this writing, the US Government’s open data site listed
twenty one countries whose governments publish open data regarding the operations
of...
This research volume is a continuation of our previous volume on intelligent
machines. We have laid the foundation of intelligent machines in SCI Series
Volume 70 by including the possible and successful applications of computational
intelligence paradigms in machines for mimicking the human behaviour.
Cutting planes (cuts) are very popular in the OR community, where they are
used to strengthen the Linear Programming (LP) relaxation of Mixed-Integer
Programs (MIPs) in the hope of improving the performance of an exact LPbased
solver. In particular, an intense research effort has been devoted to the
study of families of general cuts,...
This book and its companion volume, LNCS vols. 6145 and 6146, constitute the
proceedings of the International Conference on Swarm Intelligence (ICSI 2010)
held in Beijing, the capital of China, during June 12-15, 2010. ICSI 2010 was
the first gathering in the world for researchers working on all aspects of swarm
intelligence, and...
The 24th Computer Graphics International Conference (CGI 2006) was held during
June 26–28, 2006, in Hangzhou, China. This volume contains 39 full papers and 39
short papers accepted by CGI 2006. CGI conference was initially founded by the
Computer Graphics Society in 1983 and has now become a widely recognized,
high-quality...
Data mining and knowledge discovery can today be considered as stable fields with
numerous efficient methods and studies that have been proposed to extract knowledge
from data. Nevertheless, the famous golden nugget is still challenging. Actually, the
context evolved since the first definition of the KDD process and knowledge has now...
This volume is a documenlation of I he main results in Ihe research area "Inte
gration of Software Specification Techniques for Applications in Engineering".
On one hand it is based on the Priority Program "Integration von Techniken der
Soflwarespezifikation fur ingenieurwissensehaftliehe Anwendungen", short Soft...
Photoshop® by Adobe Systems Inc. is the
global market leader among image-processing
applications.
Besides the “classical” fields of application
in photography, graphics and web
design, it plays an important role in 3-D
modelling, both in the creation of textures
and in the post-production of rendered...
