User Interface Design for Electronic Appliances fills an aching void in the
literature of user experience. While pundits have been busy rhapsodizing
about the coming convergence in interactive media, what has actually been
happening is an explosive divergence in the form and functions of elec-
tronic devices. Convergence, I...
The objective of this publication is to enhance mutual understanding and communication between ophthalmologists, molecular geneticists, genetic counselors and biomedical researchers. In the introductory chapter, current genetic paradigms and experimental genetic approaches relevant to the nature of hereditary disorders are discussed. The...
The 2nd International Workshop on Hybrid Artificial Intelligence Systems (HAIS
2007) combines symbolic and sub-symbolic techniques to construct more robust and
reliable problem solving models. Hybrid intelligent systems are becoming popular due
to their capabilities in handling many real world complex problems, involving imprecision,...
Expert F# 3.0 is about practical programming in a beautiful language that puts the power and elegance of data-rich functional programming into the hands of professional developers. In combination with .NET, F# achieves unrivaled levels of programmer productivity and program clarity.
Visualizations—either self-created or external visual stimuli used as an aid to learning—are probably as old as learning itself. Yet surprisingly little research has been done either into how precisely they help us learn, or how to produce ones that are effective pedagogical tools. This volume, a comprehensive review of theory and...
We describe in this book, bio-inspired models and applications of hybrid intelligent
systems using soft computing techniques for image analysis and pattern recognition
based on biometrics and other information sources. Soft Computing (SC)
consists of several intelligent computing paradigms, including fuzzy logic, neural
networks,...
Information is the most valuable resource in the 21st century. Whether for a
consumer looking for a restaurant in San Francisco, a small business woman checking
textile prices in Bangalore, or a financial services executive in London studying
stock market trends, information at the moment of decision is key in providing the...
This tutorial is written with the professional programmer in mind. Using a hands on approach it introduces the ANSI Common Lisp standard. Practical examples of working code provide an in depth view of Common Lisp programming paradigms. David B. Lamkins explains why this programming language is by far the most powerful industrial strength tool...
Software engineering has advanced rapidly in recent years in parallel with the complexity and scale of software systems. New requirements in software systems yield innovative approaches that are developed either through introducing new paradigms or extending the capabilities of well-established approaches.
Real World Windows 8 Development is a developer’s handbook - an essential guide to building complete, end-user ready Windows 8 applications on the XAML and C# programming stack from start to finish. Starting with Windows 8 basics and walking through practical aspects of building your Windows 8...
The digital era has dramatically changed the ways that researchers search, produce, publish, and disseminate their scientific work. These processes are still rapidly evolving due to improvements in information science, new achievements in computer science technologies, and initiatives such as DML and open access journals, digitization...
Modern cryptography has evolved dramatically since the 1970s. With the rise of new network architectures and services, the field encompasses much more than traditional communication where each side is of a single user. It also covers emerging communication where at least one side is of multiple users. New Directions of Modern...
