From its inception in the 1930s, the rich and vigorous field of computer science
has been concerned with the resources, both in time and in memory, needed to
carry out a computation. A number of fundamental theorems were discovered
that resorted to a worst-case analysis. The central question was whether a given
algorithm could be...
The availability of geographic and geo-spatial information and services, especially
on the openWeb, has become abundant in the last several yearswith the proliferation
of online maps, geo-coding services, geospatial Web services and geospatially enabled
applications. Concurrently, the need for geo-spatial reasoning has significantly...
This volume contains the proceedings of the 6th International Conference on
Logical Aspects of Computational Linguistics 2011 (LACL 2011), held June 29-
July 1, 2011 in Montpellier, France. The LACL conferences aim at providing a
forum for the presentation and discussion of current research in all the formal
and logical aspects of...
Well, that’s not quite accurate. What I mean is, I’m sorry I didn’t have time to update
DNS and BIND to include all this new IPv6 material. DNS and BIND deserves a sixth
edition, but I’m afraid my schedule is so hectic right now that I just don’t have time to...
My entire career has been about learning and applying new technologies. It has also
been about taking on new challenges related to technology and business. I enjoy
learning new things,and I like to share things that I have learned through writing
and public speaking. I like to help others learn challenging subjects,in particular...
Computability has played a crucial role in mathematics and computer science
– leading to the discovery, understanding and classification of decidable/
undecidable problems, paving the way to the modern computer era
and affecting deeply our view of the world. Recent new paradigms of computation,
based on biological and physical...
With the vast development of Internet capacity and speed, as well as wide adoptation
of media technologies in people’s daily life, a large amount of videos have
been surging, and need to be efficiently processed or organized based on interest.
The human visual perception system could, without difficulty, interpret and recognize...
Soft computing, as a collection of techniques exploiting approximation and tolerance for imprecision and uncertainty in traditionally intractable problems, has become very effective and popular especially because of the synergy derived from its components. The integration of constituent technologies provides complementary methods that allow...
The present book, Differential Diagnosis in Internal
Medicine, first appeared as a German edition in
1952 and since then has been translated into 10
other languages. Over the past 50 years 19 German
editions have been published, and now the
19th edition of the work, which has become the
classic differential diagnosis textbook, is...
The Sysinternals Suite is a set of over 70 advanced diagnostic and troubleshooting utilities
for the Microsoft Windows platform written by me—Mark Russinovich—and Bryce Cogswell.
Since Microsoft’s acquisition of Sysinternals in 2006, these utilities have been available for
free download from...
Soft Computing (SC) techniques have been recognized nowadays as attractive
solutions for modeling highly nonlinear or partially defined complex systems
and processes. These techniques resemble biological processes more closely than
conventional (more formal) techniques. However, despite its increasing popularity,
soft computing lacks...
