The flow of academic ideas in the area of computational intelligence is impacting industrial practice at considerable speed. Practitioners face the challenge of tracking, understanding and applying the latest techniques, which often prove their value even before the underlying theories are fully understood. This book offers realistic guidelines...
Innovation and Technology -- Strategies and Policies contains a selection of outstanding contributions by world experts on how a culture of innovation is able to produce a response to fast global changes affecting society. The book describes major evolutionary directions and foreseen trends in: environment versus industry; technology...
The papers in this volume are the refereed papers presented at AI-2009, the Twenty-ninth SGAI International Conference on Innovative Techniques and Applications of Artificial Intelligence, held in Cambridge in December 2009 in both the technical and the application streams.
They present new and innovative developments and applications,...
The book offers an interesting blend of applied state-of-the-art studies of coevolutionary development of institutions, innovation diffusion and innovative entrepreneurship, not published anywhere else. It can firstly be classified as belonging to mainstream endogenous growth studies on the country level, and secondly, to mainstream evolutionary...
This book describes the specification and proof of a compiler for a realistically complicated assembly-level language. The book defines the state of the art in machine check proofs of software. Piton is a simple assembly-level programming language for a microprocessor called the FM9001 described at the machine code level. The correctness of...
A self-contained treatment of fuzzy systems engineering, offering conceptual fundamentals, design methodologies, development guidelines, and carefully selected illustrative material
Forty years have passed since the birth of fuzzy sets, in which time a wealth of theoretical developments, conceptual pursuits, algorithmic...
The engineer's guide to the planning and implementation of UMTS networks for 3G telecoms deployment.
UMTS is the wireless network technology behind the rollout of Third Generation (3G) mobile telecoms networks which will bring video, music and internet services to the cellphone and a range of electronic products. ...
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Parallel Processing and Applied Mathematics, PPAM 2003, held in Czestochowa, Poland, in September 2003.
The 149 papers presented were carefully selected and improved during two rounds of reviewing and revision. The papers are organized in...
Although much of the hubris and hyperbole surrounding the 1990's Internet has softened to a reasonable level, the inexorable momentum of information growth continues unabated. This wealth of information provides resources for adapting to the problems posed by our increasingly complex world, but the simple availability of more information does not...
This book covers the problem of control and intelligent systems design using soft-computing techniques in an integrated manner. It presents both theory and applications, including industrial applications, and contains numerous worked examples, problems and case studies. The book covers the state-of-the-art in soft-computing techniques, giving the...
Provides a practical introduction to artificial intelligence that is less mathematically rigorous than other books on the market. Appropriate for programmers looking for an overview of all facets of artificial intelligence.
We describe in this book, new methods and applications of hybrid intelligent systems using soft computing techniques. Soft Computing (SC) consists of several intelligent computing paradigms, including fuzzy logic, neural networks, and evolutionary algorithms, which can be used to produce powerful hybrid intelligent systems. The book is organized in...
