This new book explores the rapidly expanding applications of spatial analysis, GIS and remote sensing in the health sciences, and medical geography. For the practitioner or researcher this book is full of useful techniques if your work applies to environmental and public health, biostatistics, epidemiology, health services, medical geography,...
The book presents an interesting and pleasant introduction to the topic, which can guide the reader to the knowledge of the existing decomposition methods, and to the choice of those most promising for the problems he has to face. -- Zentralblatt MATH
Data Mining is the science and technology of exploring data in...
Have you ever wondered how electronic products are created? Do you have an idea for a new electronic gadget but no way of testing the feasibility of the device? Have you accumulated a junk box of electronic parts and now wonder what to build with them? Well, this book will answer all your questions about discovering cool and innovative...
Finite-dimensional optimization problems occur throughout the mathematical sciences. The majority of these problems cannot be solved analytically. This introduction to optimization attempts to strike a balance between presentation of mathematical theory and development of numerical algorithms. Building on students’ skills in calculus...
The present study has attempted to apply the advantage of neuro-genetic algorithms for optimal decision making in maximum utilization of natural resources. Hydro-power is one of the inexpensive, but a reliable source of alternative energy which is foreseen as the possible answer to the present crisis in the energy sector. However, the major...
It is widely anticipated that autonomous vehicles will have a transformational impact on military forces and will play a key role in many future force structures. As a result, many tasks have already been identified that unmanned systems could undertake more readily than humans. However, for this to occur, such systems will need to be agile,...
One of the most challenging tasks in today’s business and information technology (IT) environments
is to communicate a solution to an organizational problem in a simple manner that can be easily
understood by business and IT personnel alike. Is it also arduous to explain in simple words how
a remedy to an enterprise concern can be...
“I believe that this book will fill a great need for both full-time competitive intelligence practitioners, and those looking to add analytical skills to their managerial tool kit.”

Information intermediation is the foundation stone of some of the most successful Internet companies, and is perhaps second only to the Internet Infrastructure companies. On the heels of information integration and interoperability, this book on information brokering discusses the next step in information interoperability and integration. The...
The worldwide popularisation of mobile communication technologies and the increasing awareness of usability issues since 1990’s have been urging map designers to specialise and extend cartographic semiotics, visualisation styles and map use techniques for mobile contexts and small display devices. As a follow-up to the first book...
The goal of this book is to develop efficient optimization algorithms to solve diverse real-world problems of graded difficulty. Genetic and evolutionary mechanisms have been deployed for reaching the goal.
This book has made five significant contributions in the realm of genetic and evolutionary computation (GEC).
Systems Analysis and Design, Eighth Edition offers a practical, visually appealing approach to information systems development.
As the Dilbert cartoon suggests, it is always a good idea to know whether a project fits the
company’s overall strategy. You will learn more about the relationship between systems projects
and...
