Robust Intelligent Systems

Springer, 2008

Using artificial intelligence and robustness as a unifying theme, this book comments on the fundamental strategies found in nature (such as redundancy, granularity, adaptation, repair, self-healing, etc.), and how an understanding of these can be used to further research into general design principles for artificial intelligence in the context of a...

Digital Signal Processing Using MATLAB and Wavelets (Electrical Engineering)

Infinity Science Press, 2006

Although DSP has long been considered an EE topic, recent developments have also generated significant interest from the computer science community. DSP applications in the consumer market, such as bioinformatics, the MP3 audio format, and MPEG-based cable/satellite television have fueled a desire to understand this technology outside of hardware...

Grid Computing in Life Sciences: Proceedings of the 2nd International Life Science Grid Workshop, LSGRID 2005

World Scientific Publishing, 2006

This is the second volume in the series of proceedings from the International Workshop on Life Science Grid.

Clustering (IEEE Press Series on Computational Intelligence)

John Wiley & Sons, 2008

Clustering has become an increasingly important topic in recent years, caused by the glut of data from a wide variety of disciplines. However, due to the lack of good communication among these communities, similar theories or algorithms are redeveloped many times, causing unnecessary waste of time and resources. Furthermore, different terminologies...

Information Processing and Living Systems (Advances in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology)

World Scientific Publishing, 2005

Information processing and information flow occur in the course of an organism's development and throughout its lifespan. Organisms do not exist in isolation, but interact with each other constantly within a complex ecosystem. The relationships between organisms, such as those between prey or predator, host and parasite, and between mating...
