Every day we need to solve large problems for which supercomputers are needed. High performance computing (HPC) is a paradigm that allows to efficiently implement large-scale computational tasks on powerful supercomputers unthinkable without optimization. We try to minimize our effort and to maximize the achieved profit.Many challenging real world problems arising in engineering, economics, medicine and other areas can be formulated as large-scale computational tasks.The volume is a comprehensive collection of extended contributions from the High performance computing conference held in Borovets, Bulgaria, September 2019.This book presents recent advances in high performance computing. The topics of interest included into this volume are: HP software tools, Parallel Algorithms and Scalability, HPC in Big Data analytics, Modelling, Simulation & Optimization in a Data Rich Environment, Advanced numerical methods for HPC, Hybrid parallel or distributed algorithms.The volume is focused on important large-scale applications like Environmental and Climate Modeling, Computational Chemistry and Heuristic Algorithms.

This book shows how collocations can be annotated with lexical functions in a computer readable dictionary, allowing precise semantic analysis in texts and effective use in such natural language applications as parsers, computer-aided learning and more.

The book provides a sample of research on the innovative theory and applications of soft computing paradigms. The idea of Soft Computing was initiated in 1981 when Professor Zadeh published his first paper on soft data analysis and constantly evolved ever since.

This book explores hot topics in the design, administration and management of dynamic grid environments. The emphasis is on preferences and autonomous decisions of system users, secure access to processed data and services and the use of green technologies.

Nowadays, more and more users are witnessing the impact of Hypermedia/Multimedia as well as the penetration of social applications in their life. All contributions provide an in-depth investigation on research and deployment issues, regarding already introduced schemes and applications in Semantic Hyper/Multimedia and Social Media Adaptation.

Alan Turing pioneered many research areas such as artificial intelligence, computability, heuristics and pattern formation.

This book introduces and explores the term "knowledge implementation," denoting the new method of meaningful learning in the context of machine understanding. Discusses Shape Understanding Systems (SUS) and visual objects, sensory objects and text objects.

This book covers important aspects of fundamental research in data provenance and data management(DPDM), including provenance representation and querying, as well as practical applications in such domains as clinical trials, bioinformatics and radio astronomy.

Fusing input from seemingly unrelated disciplines including engineering and literature, this edited collection is the product of a number of workshops on the topic and covers a range of chance discovery methods that affect decision making in artificial intelligence.

This book offers new ideas, theories, models, technologies, system architectures and applications in intelligent scalable systems, exploring such Artificial Intelligence-based techniques as fuzzy logic, neural networks, evolutionary, and memetic algorithms.

This book examines the evolvability and robustness of an evolutionary GRN paradigm, in simple differentiated multicellularity and in evolving artificial 'organisms' which grow and express an ontogeny from a single cell to a changing neighborhood of cells.

This book features the top papers from the 11th ACIS/IEEE International Conference on Computer and Information Science, held May 30-June 1, 2012 in Shanghai, China. It examines practical challenges and presents solutions.

This book is an updated effort in summarizing the trending topics and new hot research lines in solving dynamic problems using metaheuristics.

This book is divided into six parts, including Applied Intelligence, Cognitive Computing and Affective Computing, Data Mining and Intelligent Systems, Decision Support Systems, Machine Learning, and Natural Language Processing.

Part II includes ANAC 2011 (The Second Automated Negotiating Agents Competition), in which automated agents who have different negotiation strategies and implemented by different developers are automatically negotiate in the several negotiation domains.

Natural intelligence based approaches for scheduling, planning and packing are discussed as a means to draw inspiration from nature. Evolutionary algorithms, ant colony optimisation and raindrop optimisation are among the solutions presented.

New approaches are needed that could move us towards developing effective applicable intelligent systems for problem solving and decision making, One of the main efforts in intelligent systems development is focused on knowledge and information management which is regarded as the crucial issue in smart decision making support.

Intelligent paradigms are increasingly finding their ways into the design and development of decision support systems. This book offers samples from key researchers of the latest advances in intelligent decision support systems.
