Mobile Robots: The Evolutionary Approach (Studies in Computational Intelligence)

Springer, 2007

The design and control of autonomous intelligent mobile robotic systems operating in unstructured changing environments includes many objective difficulties. There are several studies about the ways in which, robots exhibiting some degree of autonomy, adapt themselves to fit in their environments. The application and use of bio-inspired and...

An Introduction to Quantum Computing

Oxford University Press, 2006

This concise, accessible text provides a thorough introduction to quantum computing - an exciting emergent field at the interface of the computer, engineering, mathematical and physical sciences. Aimed at advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in these disciplines, the text is technically detailed and is clearly illustrated...

Analysis and Synthesis of Logics: How to Cut and Paste Reasoning Systems (Applied Logic Series)

Springer, 2008

Starting with simple examples showing the relevance of cutting and pasting logics, the monograph develops a mathematical theory of combining and decomposing logics, ranging from propositional and first-order based logics to higher-order based logics as well as to non-truth functional logics. The theory covers mechanisms for combining semantic...

Multi-Objective Swarm Intelligent Systems: Theory & Experiences (Studies in Computational Intelligence)

Springer, 2009

Recently, a new class of heuristic techniques, the swarm intelligence has emerged. In this context, more recently, biologists and computer scientists in the field of “artificial life” have been turning to insects for ideas that can be used for heuristics. Many aspects of the collective activities of social insects,...

Pervasive Information Architecture: Designing Cross-Channel User Experiences

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2011

I knew the Internet before it got famous. There were places but no paths, no maps, no search engines. Entry required a key in the form of an IP address and an incantation in the language of UNIX. It was a small world that felt big because it was so easy to get lost in the shadowy realm of texts and data, completely devoid of color....

Computational Social Network Analysis: Trends, Tools and Research Advances (Computer Communications and Networks)

Springer, 2009

Social networks provide a powerful abstraction of the structure and dynamics of diverse kinds of people or people-to-technology interaction. Web 2.0 has enabled a new generation of web-based communities, social networks, and folksonomies to facilitate collaboration among different communities.

This unique text/reference compares...

Artificial Life Models in Software

Springer, 2005

This book presents software tools, environments and realities dealing with creation, imitation and analysis of artefactual, virtual, and living forms, written by those who personally design and produce software, hardware, and art installations in artificial life, simulated complex systems, and virtual worlds.

This timely volume offers a...

Reaction-Diffusion Automata: Phenomenology, Localisations, Computation (Emergence, Complexity and Computation)

Springer, 2012

Reaction-diffusion and excitable media are amongst most intriguing substrates. Despite apparent simplicity of the physical processes involved the media exhibit a wide range of amazing patterns: from target and spiral waves to travelling localisations and stationary breathing patterns. These media are at the heart of most natural processes,...

Information Visualization: Beyond the Horizon

Springer, 2006

Information visualization is not only about creating graphical displays of complex and latent information structures; it contributes to a broader range of cognitive, social, and collaborative activities. This is the first book to examine information visualization from this perspective.

This 2nd edition continues the unique and ambitious...

Handbook of Neural Network Signal Processing (Electrical Engineering & Applied Signal Processing)

CRC Press, 2001

A comprehensive reference book for practical engineers and researchers focusing on neural network applications on signal processing, this text concerns itself with a vast array of signals. Among included signals, readers will find information on audio, video, speech, communication, geophysical, sonar, radar and medical signals. Written for those...

Large-Scale Computing Techniques for Complex System Simulations (Wiley Series on Parallel and Distributed Computing)

John Wiley & Sons, 2011

Complex systems are defined as systems with many interdependent parts that give rise to nonlinear and emergent properties determining their high-level functioning and behavior. Due to the interdependence of their constituent elements and other characteristics of complex systems, it is difficult to predict system behavior based...
