Modeling Decisions: Information Fusion and Aggregation Operators (Cognitive Technologies)

Springer, 2007

Information fusion techniques and aggregation operators produce the most comprehensive, specific datum about an entity using data supplied from different sources, thus enabling us to reduce noise, increase accuracy, summarize and extract information, and make decisions. These techniques are applied in fields such as economics, biology and...

Bacteriology of Humans: An Ecological Perspective

John Wiley & Sons, 2008

Until recently, the indigenous microbiota of humans has been a relatively neglected area of microbiology with most attention being focused on those microbes that cause disease in humans, rather than on those that co-exist with us in the disease-free state. However, in the past decade research has shown that not only is the indigenous microbiota...

Nuclear Engineering Handbook (Mechanical Engineering)

CRC Press, 2009

Nuclear power has, in recent years, undergone a major transformation, resulting in major technical developments and a new generation of nuclear scientists and engineers. A comprehensive book that reflects the latest nuclear technologies has been lacking—until now.

The Nuclear Engineering Handbook is a response to...

Information Retrieval: A Health and Biomedical Perspective (Health Informatics)

Springer, 2008

The third edition of this book will reach across disciplines and address the needs of not only those who study, evaluate, and purchase health information, but also computer and library/information scientists, information technology developers building databases, search engines, Web sites, and other systems for universities and hospitals who...

Future Application and Middleware Technology on e-Science

Springer, 2009

Future Application and Middleware Technology on e-Science presents selected papers from the 2008 Korea e-Science All-Hands-Meeting (AHM 2008). Hosted by the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information, this meeting was designed to bring together developers and users of e-Science applications and enabling information technologies...

Zero Configuration Networking: The Definitive Guide

O'Reilly, 2005

It used to be that two laptops, sitting side by side, couldn't communicate with each other; they may as well have been a thousand miles apart. But that was then, before the advent of Zero Configuration Networking technology. This amazing cross-platform open source technology automatically connects electronic devices on a...

Optimizing Compilers for Modern Architectures: A Dependence-based Approach

Morgan Kaufmann, 2001

Modern computer architectures designed with high-performance microprocessors offer tremendous potential gains in performance over previous designs. Yet their very complexity makes it increasingly difficult to produce efficient code and to realize their full potential. This landmark text from two leaders in the field focuses on the pivotal role...

Innovations in Fuzzy Clustering: Theory and Applications (Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing)

Springer, 2006

There is a great interest in clustering techniques due to the vast amount of data generated in every field including business, health, science, engineering, aerospace, management and so on. It is essential to extract useful information from the data. Clustering techniques are widely used in pattern recognition and related applications.

The...

Introduction to Geometric Computing

Springer, 2008

Although geometry has been a flourishing discipline for millennia, most of it has seen either no practical applications or only esoteric ones. Computing is quickly making much of geometry intriguing not only for philosophers and mathematicians, but also for scientists and engineers. What is the core set of topics that a practitioner needs to study...

The Prehistory of Language (Studies in the Evolution of Language)

Oxford University Press, 2009

'When, why, and how did language evolve?' 'Why do only humans have language?' This book looks at these and other questions about the origins and evolution of language. It does so via a rich diversity of perspectives, including social, cultural, archaeological, palaeoanthropological, musicological, anatomical, neurobiological, primatological, and...

Handbook of Weighted Automata (Monographs in Theoretical Computer Science. An EATCS Series)

Springer, 2009

Weighted finite automata are classical nondeterministic finite automata in which the transitions carry weights. These weights may model, for example, the cost involved when executing a transition, the resources or time needed for this, or the probability or reliability of its successful execution. Weights can also be added to classical automata...

Knowledge Needs and Information Extraction: Towards an Artificial Consciousness (ISTE)

John Wiley & Sons, 2013

The title of this book is both subversive and ambitious. It is subversive because few academic publications deal with this subject. There has, of course, been work done in robotics on artificially reproducing a “human” movement. One can also find more cognitive works about the way of reasoning – i.e. storing and...
