The deluge of data observed throughout research and industry has turned the analysis of the resulting information into the primary limiting factor for the rapid progress of science, engineering, and medicine. The field of visualization strives to tackle this data analysis challenge by devising visual representations that afford users an...
The International Workshop on Complex Networks—CompleNet
(www.complenet.org)—was initially proposed in 2008 with the first workshop
taking place in 2009. The initiative was the result of efforts from researchers
from the Bio-Complex Laboratory in the Department of Computer Sciences at
Florida Institute of...
While books and journals of high quality have proliferated in discrete and compu-
tational geometry during recent years, there has been to date no single reference
work fully accessible to the nonspecialist as well as to the specialist, covering all
the major aspects of both fields. The Handbook of Discrete and Computational
Geometry...
This volume is the last of three volumes devoted to the work of one of the most prominent 20th century mathematicians. Throughout his mathematical work, A.N. Kolmogorov (1903-1987) showed great creativity and versatility and his wide-ranging studies in many different areas, led to the solution of conceptual and fundamental problems and the...
This book is really the end product of over a decade of work, on and off, on
diagrammatic reasoning in artificial intelligence (AI). In developing this book, I
drew inspiration from a variety of sources: two experimental studies, the development
of two prototype systems, an extensive literature review and analysis in
AI,...
When we began this project, our intent was to create a real world scenario that would guide IT professionals in using Microsoft best practices to deploy Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway (TMG) 2010. We hope you find that we have achieved that goal. We’ve also included the main deployment scenarios for Forefront TMG,...
This book covers combinatorial data structures and algorithms, algebraic issues in geometric computing, approximation of curves and surfaces, and computational topology. Each chapter fully details and provides a tutorial introduction to important concepts and results. The focus is on methods which are both well founded mathematically and...
Networking technologies and concepts are often difficult to explain, even through careful description and well thought out examples. One method for making this information "stick" is to create an environment where networking professionals and students can visualize how networks work, utilizing a software tool that simulates the...
"The Library of Babel" is arguably Jorge Luis Borges' best known story--memorialized along with Borges on an Argentine postage stamp. Now, in The Unimaginable Mathematics of Borges' Library of Babel, William Goldbloom Bloch takes readers on a fascinating tour of the mathematical ideas hidden within one of the classic works...
The 16th edition of the International Conference on Discrete Geometry for Computer
Imagery was held in Nancy, France, April 6–8, 2011, and was organized
by the ADAGIo team of the LORIA laboratory (Lorraine research center in
computer science and its applications). DGCI 2011 attracted many researchers
from all around the...
In-depth, comprehensive, and fully revised for R2—this RESOURCE KIT delivers the information you need to deploy, manage, and troubleshoot Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2. Get technical insights, scenarios, and best practices from those who know the technology best—the engineers who designed and developed...
Analysis and Control of Boolean Networks presents a systematic new approach to the investigation of Boolean control networks. The fundamental tool in this approach is a novel matrix product called the semi-tensor product (STP). Using the STP, a logical function can be expressed as a conventional discrete-time linear system. In the light of...
