Soft Methods for Handling Variability and Imprecision (Advances in Soft Computing)

Springer, 2008

Probability theory has been the only well-founded theory of uncertainty for a long time. It was viewed either as a powerful tool for modelling random phenomena, or as a rational approach to the notion of degree of belief. During the last thirty years, in areas centered around decision theory, artificial intelligence and information processing,...

Handbook of Research on Fuzzy Information Processing in Databases

Information Science Publishing, 2008

Information technology is one of the most rapidly changing disciplines, especially with the fuzzy extension. Fuzzy databases have been studied in many works and papers but, in general, these works study some particular area and many works are theoretical works, with very few real applications.

The Handbook of Research on Fuzzy...

Engineering Optics With Matlab

World Scientific Publishing, 2006

This invaluable textbook serves two purposes. The first is to introduce some traditional topics such as matrix formalism of geometrical optics, wave propagation and diffraction, and some fundamental background on fourier optics. The second is to present the essentials of acousto-optics and electro-optics, and provide the students with...

Applied SOA: Service-Oriented Architecture and Design Strategies

John Wiley & Sons, 2008

You need more than theory to make SOA work.

You need this practical guide.

The challenge today's IT professionals face is not how to build a service. It's how to build a quality service, based on solid design principles and integrated into an architecture that enhances overall business...

Traffic Engineering and QoS Optimization of Integrated Voice & Data Networks

Morgan Kaufmann, 2006

This book describes, analyzes, and recommends traffic engineering (TE) and quality of service (QoS) optimization methods for integrated voice/data dynamic routing networks. These functions control a network's response to traffic demands and other stimuli, such as link failures or node failures. TE and QoS optimization is concerned with measurement,...

Beyond Equilibrium Thermodynamics

John Wiley & Sons, 2005

A comprehensive introduction to the emerging field of nonequilibrium thermodynamics

Nonequilibrium thermodynamics has emerged as a promising new field of study dealing with irreversible processes in matter, and is fundamental to understanding these systems on a wide range of length scales, including the micro- or...

Instabilities, Chaos And Turbulence: An Introduction To Nonlinear Dynamics And Complex Systems

Imperial College Press, 2004

"This book is an excellent addition to the literature on how dynamics may be used to understand and model more complex phenomena such as fluid flow, or pattern formation, written by a leading expert in the field who has contributed to a lot of the original results. It is an ideal choice for scientists, engineers or mathematicians who wish to...
