In recent years, a great number of publications have explored the use of genetic algorithms as a tool for designing fuzzy systems. Genetic Fuzzy Systems explores and discusses this symbiosis of evolutionary computation and fuzzy logic. The book summarizes and analyzes the novel field of genetic fuzzy systems, paying special attention to...
The current social and economic context increasingly demands open data to improve scientific research and decision making. However, when published data refer to individual respondents, disclosure risk limitation techniques must be implemented to anonymize the data and guarantee by design the fundamental right to privacy of the subjects the...
This book is about standards, cryptography, and standards for cryptography. It has been written in the hope that it will serve a number of purposes, including the following.
◗ Perhaps most importantly, to provide a general introduction to standardized cryptography for the user of this technology (i.e., a designer or...
"Barbosa makes the otherwise difficult subject of distributed algorithms very enjoyable and attractive to both students and researchers. The leading intuitive discussion of each algorithm is so very well organized and clearly written that a reader can, without the slightest effort, have a clear picture of it. An ideal textbook for an...
Focused on the best practices for writing code as well as on the methods to perform more effective debugging, The Debugger's Handbook promotes a natural debugging approach to writing code. The author begins by examining and concretely defining just what a bug is, what circumstances are more prone to producing bugs, and how to avoid them from the...
"...I would expect that readers with a basic understanding of object-oriented programming and design would find this book useful, before approaching design patterns completely. Design Patterns Explained complements the existing design patterns texts and may perform a very useful role, fitting between
For network administrators, support professionals, and system designers, intimate knowledge of the network protocols that are the foundation of the Internet is crucial. Internet Core Protocols: The Definitive Guide is a superb summary of the nitty-gritty details of the most important Net standards.
Research in the area of data communications and networking is well and alive as this collection of contributions show. The book has received enhanced contributions from the authors that published in the inaugural volume of the International Journal of Business Data Communications and Networking (http://www.idea-group.com/ijbdcn). The chapters are...
Computability and complexity theory should be of central concern to practitioners as well as theorists. Unfortunately, however, the field is known for its impenetrability. Neil Jones's goal as an educator and author is to build a bridge between computability and complexity theory and other areas of computer science, especially programming. In a...
Our primary motivation in writing this book is to share our working experience to bridge the gap between the knowledge of industry gurus and newcomers to the spoken language processing community. Many powerful techniques hide in conference proceedings and academic papers for years before becoming widely recognized by the research community or the...
Demand for Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) is on the increase, with a huge surge of interest in mobile communications in recent years and high-paced advancements in the supporting system architectures, devices and applications. This thoroughly revised and updated book provides a comprehensive guide to the MSS technologies and emerging trends....
This fourth edition of the Wireless Data Handbook will begin to reach readers in 1999, the centennial year of Marconi’s first sale of data radio to the British Navy. For the army of fresh, young people now turning their impressive energy and intellect to this growing field, it is fitting to have enough historical perspective to...
