The aim of this book is to serve pedagogic goals as a complement of the book Pattern Recognition, 4th Edition, by S. Theodoridis and K. Koutroumbas (Academic Press, 2009). It is the offspring of our experience in teaching pattern recognition for a number of years to different audiences such as students with good enough mathematical...
Alessandra Celletti’s proposed book presents classical celestial mechanics and its interplay with dynamical systems in a way that would be suitable for advance level undergraduate students as well as postgraduate students and researchers. First she uses paradigmatic models, such as the logistic map or the standard map, to introduce the...
Semantics in Adaptive and Personalised Services, initially strikes one as a specific and perhaps narrow domain. Yet, a closer examination of the term reveals much more. On one hand there is the issue of semantics. Nowadays, this most often refers to the use of OWL, RDF or some other XML based ontology description language in order to...
