The 24th Computer Graphics International Conference (CGI 2006) was held during
June 26–28, 2006, in Hangzhou, China. This volume contains 39 full papers and 39
short papers accepted by CGI 2006. CGI conference was initially founded by the
Computer Graphics Society in 1983 and has now become a widely recognized,
high-quality...
In the last 15 years, some of us have witnessed mail becoming e-mail, grocery stores
becoming www.store, and step-by-step technology becoming part of our daily life.
Technology development has radically changed the enterprise's way of doing
business. First, daily tasks such as sales, client, and vendor management became...
This book and its companion volume, LNCS vols. 6145 and 6146, constitute the
proceedings of the International Conference on Swarm Intelligence (ICSI 2010)
held in Beijing, the capital of China, during June 12-15, 2010. ICSI 2010 was
the first gathering in the world for researchers working on all aspects of swarm
intelligence, and...
This research volume is a continuation of our previous volume on intelligent
machines. We have laid the foundation of intelligent machines in SCI Series
Volume 70 by including the possible and successful applications of computational
intelligence paradigms in machines for mimicking the human behaviour.
The recognition that chemicals in food, whatever their origin, might
present a risk to the consumer has long been recognised. However, early
food regulations at the beginning of the century were primarily aimed at
prevention of adulteration and fraud rather than directed at consumer
safety. It is only in the second half of the century...
Computers play an increasingly important role in our society. A breakdown of all
computer systems would cause a breakdown of almost all activities of daily life.
Furthermore, personal computers are available in almost every home in the industrialized
world. But there is one sector where computers have a more strategic role, and
that...
The New Perspectives Series’ critical-thinking, problem-solving approach is the ideal way
to prepare students to transcend point-and-click skills and take advantage of all that HTML
and CSS have to offer.
In developing the New Perspectives Series, our goal was to create books that give students
the software concepts and...
Mac OS X offers an amazing development environment for scores of technologies. It seems that
developers from numerous camps are migrating to Mac en masse. Scan the room at any Ruby or
Rails conference, for example, and you’ll see programmers coding on Macs almost exclusively. As
developers move to Mac, almost inevitably they...
Smashing WordPress Themes is all about making your WordPress site look beautiful. But, the beautiful part is a very personal thing, because we all have different preferences. So in essence, my book isn’t on Web design, but rather about giving you, dear reader, the tools to build the kind of site that you want to create, using WordPress...
R.E. Miller: Parallel program schemata.- D.E. Muller: Theory of automata.- R. Karp: Computational complexity of combinatorial and graph-theoretic problems.
In this lecture we discuss a type of computer organization which is
based upon the concept of operation sequencing being controlled by operand
availability. Such sequencing...
"Modeling" has become one of the primary concerns in modern Software
Engineering. The reason is simple: starting development processes from clear
and succinct models has proven to foster not only quality but also productivity.
With the advance of modeling there also came a desire for automatic code
generation from models....
