Handbook of Practical Logic and Automated Reasoning

Cambridge University Press, 2009

This book meets the demand for a self-contained and broad-based account of the concepts, the machinery and the use of automated reasoning. The mathematical logic foundations are described in conjunction with practical application, all with the minimum of prerequisites. The approach is constructive, concrete and algorithmic: a key feature is that...

Robot Brains: Circuits and Systems for Conscious Machines

John Wiley & Sons, 2007

Haikonen envisions autonomous robots that perceive and understand the world directly, acting in it in a natural human-like way without the need of programs and numerical representation of information. By developing higher-level cognitive functions through the power of artificial associative neuron architectures, the author approaches the issues of...

Succeed at IQ Tests: Improve Your Numerical, Verbal and Spatial Reasoning Skills

Kogan Page, 2008

Intelligence quotient (IQ) is an age-related measure of intelligence and is defined as 100 times the mental age. The word ‘quotient’ means the result of dividing one quantity by another, and intelligence can be defined as mental ability or quickness of mind.

An intelligence test (IQ test) is, by definition, any test that...

Systems Reliability and Failure Prevention (Artech House Technology Management Library)

Artech House Publishers, 2003

The primary aim of system reliability is the prevention of failures that affect the operational capability of a system. The probability of such failures can be reduced by the following:

• Conservative design—such as ample margins, use of parts and materials with established operating experience, and observing environmental...

Fuzzy Chaotic Systems: Modeling, Control, and Applications (Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing)

Springer, 2006

Bringing together the two seemingly unrelated concepts, fuzzy logic and chaos theory, is primarily motivated by the concept of soft computing (SC), initiated by Lotfi A. Zadeh, the founder of fuzzy set theory. The principal constituents of SC are fuzzy logic (FL), neural network theory (NN) and probabilistic reasoning (PR), with the latter...
