Technology and Safety of Marine Systems (Ocean Engineering Series)

Elsevier Limited, 2003

Traditionally society has regulated hazardous industries by detailed references to engineering codes, standards and hardware requirements. These days a risk-based approach is adopted. Risk analysis involves identifying hazards, categorizing the risks, and providing the necessary decision support to determine the necessary arrangements and...

Radiation Oncology: A Physicist's-Eye View (Biological and Medical Physics, Biomedical Engineering)

Springer, 2007

The papers collected in this hugely useful volume cover the principle physical and biological aspects of radiation therapy and in addition, address practical clinical considerations in the planning and delivering of that therapy. The importance of the assessment of uncertainties is emphasized. Topics include an overview of the physics of the...

Scalable Fuzzy Algorithms for Data Management and Analysis: Methods and Design

Information Science Publishing, 2009

Today, fuzzy methods are of common use as they provide tools to handle data sets in a relevant, robust, and interpretable way, making it possible to cope with both imprecision and uncertainties. Scalable Fuzzy Algorithms for Data Management and Analysis: Methods and Design presents up-to-date techniques for addressing data...

Synchronization in Wireless Sensor Networks: Parameter Estimation, Peformance Benchmarks, and Protocols

Cambridge University Press, 2009

The clock or time synchronization problem in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) requires a procedure for providing a common notion of time across the nodes of WSNs. In general, clock synchronization is viewed as a critical factor in maintaining the good functioning of WSNs due mainly to their decentralized organization and timing uncertainties...

Simulation: The Practice of Model Development and Use

John Wiley & Sons, 2004

Simulation models enable the user to better understand and explore improvements to an operations system such as a manufacturing, service, transport or supply system. It is a powerful management tool, providing a means for improving an organizationâ€™s efficiency and effectiveness. Advances in modern software mean that simulation is...

Statistical Performance Analysis and Modeling Techniques for Nanometer VLSI Designs

Springer, 2012

As VLSI technology scales into nanometer regime, chip design engineering faces several challenges. One profound change in the chip design business is that engineers cannot realize the design precisely into the silicon chips. Chip performance, manufacture yield, and lifetime thereby cannot be determined accurately at the design...

Communication Networks And Computer Systems (Communications and Signal Processing)

Imperial College Press, 2006

Communication networks and computer systems research is entering a new phase in which many of the established models and techniques of the last twenty years are being challenged. The research community is continuing to free itself from past intellectual constraints so that it may fully exploit the convergence of computing and communications....

Perceptual Computing: Aiding People in Making Subjective Judgments

John Wiley & Sons, 2010

Explains for the first time how "computing with words" can aidin making subjective judgments

Lotfi Zadeh, the father of fuzzy logic, coined the phrase"computing with words" (CWW) to describe a methodology in which theobjects of computation are words and propositions drawn from anatural language....

Introductory Biostatistics

John Wiley & Sons, 2003

The nuts-and-bolts of biostatistics–without the anxiety

To students in public health, dentistry, nursing, and other health disciplines, the introductory course in biostatistics conjures up dread images of mind-numbing formulas and dry-as-bones texts. This text, adapted from and expanding on his bestselling Health and Numbers (Wiley), will...

Perception-based Data Mining and Decision Making in Economics and Finance (Studies in Computational Intelligence)

Springer, 2007

The primary goal of this book is to present to the scientific and management communities a selection of applications using more recent Soft Computing (SC) and Computing with Words and Perceptions (CWP) models and techniques meant to solve the economics and financial problems. The selected examples could also serve as a starting point...

Principles of Modeling Uncertainties in Spatial Data and Spatial Analyses

CRC Press, 2009

When compared to classical sciences such as math, with roots in prehistory, and physics, with roots in antiquity, geographical information science (GISci) is the new kid on the block. Its theoretical foundations are therefore still developing and data quality and uncertainty modeling for spatial data and spatial analysis is an important...
