 The Data Book of AstronomyThe Solar System consists of one star (the Sun), the nine principal planets, their satellites and lesser bodies such as asteroids, comets and meteoroids, plus a vast amount of thinly-spread interplanetary matter. The Sun contains more than 99% of the mass of the system, and Jupiter is more massive than all the other planets combined. The centre of... | | Evolutionary Scheduling (Studies in Computational Intelligence)Evolutionary scheduling is a vital research domain at the interface of two important sciences - artificial intelligence and operational research. Scheduling problems are generally complex, large scale, constrained, and multi-objective in nature, and classical operational research techniques are often inadequate at solving them effectively. With the... | | Swarm Intelligence in Data Mining (Studies in Computational Intelligence)Science is a swarm.
To the layperson, the stereotypical scientist is logical, clear-thinking, wellinformed but perhaps socially awkward, carefully planning his or her experiments and then analyzing the resulting data deliberately, with precision. The scientist works alone, emotion-free, searching only for truth, having been well advised... |
