The Unknown Component Problem: Theory and Applications

Springer, 2011

The Problem of the Unknown Component: Theory and Applications addresses the issue of designing a component that, combined with a known part of a system, conforms to an overall specification. The authors tackle this problem by solving abstract equations over a language. The most general solutions are studied when both synchronous and...

Heuristic and Optimization for Knowledge Discovery

Idea Group Publishing, 2002

With the large amount of data stored by many organizations, capitalists have observed that this information is an intangible asset. Unfortunately, handling large databases is a very complex process and traditional learning techniques are expensive to use. Heuristic techniques provide much help in this arena, although little is known about heuristic...

Utilizing Problem Structure in Planning: A Local Search Approach

Springer, 2004

Planning is a crucial skill for any autonomous agent, be it a physically embedded agent, such as a robot, or a purely simulated software agent. For this reason, planning, as a central research area of artificial intelligence from its beginnings, has gained even more attention and importance recently.

After giving a general introduction to AI...

Intelligent Computer Graphics 2011 (Studies in Computational Intelligence)

Springer, 2011

Intelligent techniques are used since several years in various research areas using computer programs. The purpose of using intelligent techniques is generally to optimise the processing time, to find more accurate solutions, for a lot of problems, than with traditional methods, or simply to find solutions in problems where...

Crushing the IT Gender Bias: Thriving as a Woman in Technology

Apress, 2019

When my career first began, I was on a team of five women Database Administrators (DBAs). Within 9 months, one of the five who was hired at the same time as I was left the industry. She was young, single, had a degree in Computer Science (CS) with a focus on database technology, and had no children. I had difficulty understanding...

Artificial Intelligence: A New Synthesis (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Artificial Intelligence)

Morgan Kaufmann, 1998

Intelligent agents are employed as the central characters in this new introductory text. Beginning with elementary reactive agents, Nilsson gradually increases their cognitive horsepower to illustrate the most important and lasting ideas in AI. Neural networks, genetic programming, computer vision, heuristic search, knowledge representation and...

Intelligent Techniques for Planning

Idea Group Publishing, 2004

The Intelligent Techniques for Planning presents a number of modern approaches to the area of automated planning. These approaches combine methods from classical planning such as the construction of graphs and the use of domain-independent heuristics with techniques from other areas of artificial intelligence. The book presents, in detail, a number...
