 Cooperative Control of Distributed Multi-Agent SystemsThe paradigm of ‘multi-agent’ cooperative control is the challenge frontier for new control system application domains, and as a research area it has experienced a considerable increase in activity in recent years. This volume, the result of a UCLA collaborative project with Caltech, Cornell and MIT, presents cutting edge results in... | | | | Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Networking and Parallel/Distributed Computing (Studies in Computational Intelligence)The 9th ACIS International Conference on Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Networking, and Parallel/Distributed Computing, held in Phuket Thailand on August 6 – 8, 2008 is aimed at bringing together researchers and scientist, businessmen and entrepreneurs, teachers and students to discuss the numerous fields of computer science,... |

Spatial Analysis and GISGeographic information systems represent an exciting and rapidly expanding technology via which spatial data may be captured, stored, retrieved, displayed, manipulated and analyzed. Applications of this technology include detailed inventories of land use parcels. Spatial patterns of disease, geodemographics, environmental management and macroscale... | | | | A FAREWELL TO ENTROPY: Statistical Thermodynamics Based on InformationThe principal message of this book is that thermodynamics and statistical mechanics will benefit from replacing the unfortunate, misleading and mysterious term entropy with a more familiar, meaningful and appropriate term such as information, missing information or uncertainty. This replacement would facilitate the interpretation of the driving... |

A First Course in Stochastic ModelsThe teaching of appliedprobability needs a fresh approach. The fieldof applied probability has changedprofound ly in the past twenty years andyet the textbooks in use today do not fully reflect the changes. The development of computational methods has greatly contributed to a better understanding of the theory. It is my conviction that theory is... | | Color Constancy (The Wiley-IS&T Series in Imaging Science and Technology)A human observer is able to recognize the color of objects irrespective of the light used to illuminate the objects. This ability is called color constancy. In photography, color constancy is known under the name white balance. Most amateur photographers have probably experienced the following problem at one time or another when a photograph is... | | An Introduction to Neural NetworksCovers: artificial neurons as models of their real counterparts; the geometry of network action in pattern space; gradient descent methods, including back-propagation; associative memory and Hopfield nets; and self-organization and feature maps.
This book grew out of a set of course notes for a neural networks module given as part of a... |

Philosophical Frameworks for Understanding Information SystemsInformation systems have five main areas of research and practice in which humans relate to information and communications technology. Typically isolated from one another, these areas are: the nature of computers and information, the creation of information technologies, the development of artifacts for human use, the usage of information systems,... | | Connections: Patterns of DiscoveryEvery since the fl int axe triggered the Paleolithic Revolution over two million years ago we have lived by a culture of scarcity. Technology shortfall placed innovative capability in the hands of only a few: those who provided their hunter - gatherer communities with tools for hunting and butchering; then those who could read and write; then, much... | | Lean Combustion: Technology and ControlCombustion under sufficiently fuel-lean conditions can have the desirable attributes of high efficiency and low emissions, this being particularly important in light of recent and rapid increases in the cost of fossil fuels and concerns over the links between combustion and global climate change. Lean Combustion is an eminently authoritative,... |
