The Handbook of Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering is the first comprehensive handbook covering these two important areas that have become interwoven in recent years. Many international experts contribute to this Hand book. Each article is written in a way that a practitioner of software engineering and knowledge engineering can...

When we rst started working on the problem of making the kernel machine approach applicable to the classication of graphs a couple of years ago, our eorts were mainly driven by the fact that kernel methods had led to impressive performance results on many data sets. It didn't take us long to appreciate the sheer elegance of how...

Recognizing patterns is at the core of man's attempts to understand the universe that we inhabit. Through the development of sensors and instruments, we have extended our ability to gather data far beyond the range and scale of man's natural senses. As a result we are now able to gather data on phenomena occurring in the far reaches...

Books which examine the folklore of Europe's traditional "witch" plants are not uncommon, and some give some coverage to describing the psychotropic and hallucinogenic effects of these plants on the human body. However this book is rather more unusual than that in that the author is first and foremost a biochemist with an...

Acomputing cloudis more thana collection of computer resources, because it provides mechanisms to manage those resources. In a cloud computing platform, software is migrating from the desktop to the "clouds," promising users, at any time and anywhere, access to their...
