Cooperative Control of Distributed Multi-Agent Systems

John Wiley & Sons, 2008

The paradigm of ‘multi-agent’ cooperative control is the challenge frontier for new control system application domains, and as a research area it has experienced a considerable increase in activity in recent years. This volume, the result of a UCLA collaborative project with Caltech, Cornell and MIT, presents cutting edge results in...

Introduction to Statistical Relational Learning (Adaptive Computation and Machine Learning)

MIT Press, 2007

Handling inherent uncertainty and exploiting compositional structure are fundamental to understanding and designing large-scale systems. Statistical relational learning builds on ideas from probability theory and statistics to address uncertainty while incorporating tools from logic, databases, and programming languages to represent structure. In...

Computable Models of the Law: Languages, Dialogues, Games, Ontologies (Lecture Notes in Computer Science / Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence)

Springer, 2008

Information technology has now pervaded the legal sector, and the very modern concepts of e-law and e-justice show that automation processes are ubiquitous. European policies on transparency and information society, in particular, require the use of technology and its steady improvement.

Some of the revised papers presented in this book...

An Introduction to Formal Languages and Automata

Jones and Bartlett Publishers, 2000

This text covers all the material essential to an introductory theory of computation course for undergraduate students. The text has a solid mathematical base, and provides precise mathematical statements of theorems and definitions, giving an intuitive motivation for constructions and proofs. Proofs and arguments are clearly stated, without...

Analytic Hyperbolic Geometry And Albert Einstein's Special Theory Of Relativity

World Scientific Publishing, 2008

This book presents a powerful way to study Einstein's special theory of relativity and its underlying hyperbolic geometry in which analogies with classical results form the right tool. It introduces the notion of vectors into analytic hyperbolic geometry, where they are called gyrovectors.

Newtonian velocity addition is the common vector...

Advances in Mathematical Modeling for Reliability

IOS Press, 2008

Advances in Mathematical Modeling for Reliability discusses fundamental issues on mathematical modeling in reliability theory and its applications. Beginning with an extensive discussion of graphical modeling and Bayesian networks, the focus shifts towards repairable systems: a discussion about how sensitive availability calculations parameter...

Cosmology

Oxford University Press, 2008

This book is unique in the detailed, self-contained, and comprehensive treatment that it gives to the ideas and formulas that are used and tested in modern cosmological research. It divides into two parts, each of which provides enough material for a one-semester graduate course. The first part deals chiefly with the isotropic and homogeneous...

Partial Differential Equations in Fluid Dynamics

Cambridge University Press, 2008

This book is concerned with partial differential equations applied to fluids problems in science and engineering. This work is designed for two potential audiences. First, this book can function as a text for a course in mathematical methods in fluid mechanics in non-mathematics departments or in mathematics service courses. The authors have taught...

Genetic Programming Theory and Practice VI (Genetic and Evolutionary Computation)

Springer, 2008

Genetic Programming Theory and Practice VI was developed from the sixth workshop at the University of Michigan’s Center for the Study of Complex Systems to facilitate the exchange of ideas and information related to the rapidly advancing field of Genetic Programming (GP). Contributions from the foremost international...

Algorithms and Protocols for Wireless, Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (Wiley Series on Parallel and Distributed Computing)

John Wiley & Sons, 2008

Learn the fundamental algorithms and protocols for wireless and mobile ad hoc networks

Advances in wireless networking and mobile communication technologies, coupled with the proliferation of portable computers, have led to development efforts for wireless and mobile ad hoc networks. This book focuses on several aspects of wireless ad hoc...

A Second Course in Formal Languages and Automata Theory

Cambridge University Press, 2008

Intended for graduate students and advanced undergraduates in computer science, A Second Course in Formal Languages and Automata Theory treats topics in the theory of computation not usually covered in a first course. After a review of basic concepts, the book covers combinatorics on words, regular languages, context-free languages, parsing and...
