"In this book the authors explain the science and application of numerous prediction and optimization techniques as well as how these concepts can be used to develop adaptive decision-making systems. The book is suitable for business and IT managers who make decisions in complex industrial and...
As other complex systems in social and natural sciences as well as in engineering, the Internet is hard to understand from a technical point of view. Packet switched networks defy analytical modeling. The Internet is an outstanding and challenging case because of its fast development, unparalleled heterogeneity and the inherent lack of...
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...
The field of assessing the accuracy of maps derived from remotely sensed data has continued to develop and mature since the first edition of this book was published in 1999. The original eight chapters have been expanded to eleven. Of most significance is a new chapter that covers positional accuracy. The accuracy of any spatial data set is a...
It is with great delight that I write the preface for this, the very first volume in Elsevier's new book series "Capturing Intelligence".
This series aims at publishing books on research from all disciplines dealing with and affecting the issue of understanding and reproducing intelligent artificial systems. The series will...

Covering the theoretical foundation, fundamental methods and main topics in grey information and systems research, this book...
Since the first part of the twentieth century, cybernetics and systems research have been developed as
scientific disciplines. Investigations, launched in the area of cybernetics, previously dealt with control
and information processing. In a more narrow sense, they consisted in the consideration of analogies
of the control and the...
