Bücher der Reihe Studies in Computational Intelligence

Nowadays, intelligent techniques are more and more used in Computer Graphics in order to optimise the processing time, to find more accurate solutions for a lot of Computer Graphics problems, than with traditional methods, or simply to find solutions in problems where traditional methods fail.

Cognitive Informatics (CI) is the science of cognitive information processing and its applications in cognitive computing. CI is a transdisciplinary enquiry of computer science, information science, cognitive science, and intelligence science that investigates into the internal information processing mechanisms and processes of the brain.

This book examines the potential of the ensemble meta-algorithm by describing and testing a technique based on the combination of ensembles and statistical PCA that is able to determine the presence of outliers in high-dimensional data sets.

Humans engage in a seemingly endless variety of different behaviors, of which some are found across species, while others are conceived of as typically human. Most generally, behavior comes about through the interplay of various constraints - informational, mechanical, neural, metabolic, and so on - operating at multiple scales in space and time.

How do we model uncertainty? How do we use uncertainty theory? In order to answer these questions, this stimulating and useful book provides a self-contained, comprehensive and up-to-date presentation of uncertainty theory.

In addition, this book includes papers on the ANAC 2010 (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.

In the modern science and technology there are some research directions and ch- lenges which are at the forefront of world wide research activities because of their relevance.

Presenting the main results of new algorithms for reinforcement learning, this book also introduces a novel method for devising input representations as well as presenting a way to find a minimal set of features sufficient to describe the agent's current state.

By incorporating biologically-inspired functions into ICT, various types of new-generation information and communication systems can be created. This new way of thinking may help researchers and practitioners to apply innovative ideas in developing next-generation technologies.

The 9th ACIS/IEEE International Conference on Computer Science and Information Science, held in Kaminoyama, Japan on August 18-20 is aimed at bringing together researchers and scientists, businessmen and entrepreneurs, teachers and students to discuss the numerous fields of computer science, and to share ideas and information in a meaningful way.

This annual Symposium was launched by Budapest Tech (previously Budapest Polytechnic) and by the Hungarian Fuzzy Association in 2000, with the aim to bring together Hungarian speaking researchers working on computational intelligence and related topics from all over the world, but with special emphasis on the Central Eu- pean Region.

This book records advances in using intelligent techniques for technology enhanced learning, and development of e-Learning applications based on such techniques and supported by technology. Covers adaptive learning and data mining techniques, among others.

This book shows that a multilayer neural network can be considered as a multistage system, and that the learning of this class of neural networks can be treated as a special sort of the optimal control problem.

Blending theory with practice, this book brings together a variety of next-generation data technologies used to capture, integrate, analyze, mine, annotate and visualize distributed data in a manner that is meaningful and collaborative for the organization.

Electronic business today is not only business transactions supported in information and communication technologies;

This volume includes the best papers of the 10th ACIS International Conference on Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Networking, and Parallel/Distributed Computing. The conference was held in Daegu, Korea on May 27-29, 2009.

Thinking in terms of facts and rules is perhaps one of the most common ways of approaching problem de?nition and problem solving both in everyday life and under more formal circumstances.

This book presents recent advances in computational optimization. It includes such real world problems as parameter settings for controlling processes in a bioreactor, robot skin wiring, strip packing, project scheduling, and PID controller tuning.

This book lays out all the latest research in the area of multimedia data hiding. It moves on to cover the recent advances in multimedia signal processing, before presenting information hiding techniques including steganography, secret sharing and watermarking.

This volume is a result of the fruitful and vivid discussions during the MedDecSup'2012 International Workshop bringing together a relevant body of knowledge, and new developments in the increasingly important field of medical informatics.

A sharp increase in the computing power of modern computers has triggered the development of powerful algorithms that can analyze complex patterns in large amounts of data within a short time period.

The papers collected in this volume are selected as a sample of the progress in Natural Language Processing (NLP) performed within the Italian NLP community and especially attested by the PARLI project.
