Emphasis is placed on Web engineering and technologies, Web graph managing, searching and querying and the importance of social Web.

, from modelling events with bag of spatial temporal features to discovering event context, from detecting events using a single camera to inferring events through a distributed camera network, and from low-level event feature extraction and description to high-level semantic event classification and recognition.

In the field of knowledge discovery, graphs of concepts are an expressive and versatile modeling technique providing ways to reason about information implicit in a set of data.

This book is showcases recent advances in knowledge discovery enhanced with semantic and social information. It includes eight chapters that grew out of joint workshops at ECML/PKDD 2007. The contributions emphasize the vision of the Web as a social medium.

Many aspects of Nature, Biology or even from Society have become part of the techniques and algorithms used in computer science or they have been used to enhance or hybridize several techniques through the inclusion of advanced evolution, cooperation or biologically based additions.

This book covers the theory and development of autonomous navigation of mobile robots using computer vision based sensing mechanism. It details several new approaches for real life vision based autonomous navigation algorithms.

It has led to the design of MOVICAB-IDS (MObile VIsualisation Connectionist Agent-Based IDS), a novel Intrusion Detection System (IDS), which is comprehensively described in this book. This novel IDS combines different AI paradigms to visualise network traffic for ID at packet level.

The series contains monographs, lecture notes and edited volumes in computational intelligence spanning the areas of neural networks, connectionist systems, genetic algorithms, evolutionary computation, artificial intelligence, cellular automata, self-organizing systems, soft computing, fuzzy systems and hybrid intelligent systems.

Artificial evolutionary systems are computer systems, inspired by ideas from natural evolution and related phenomena.

The decision to invest in oil field development is an extremely complex problem. This book is a result of about four years of research in this area. It presents applications of intelligent decision support systems to oil field development under uncertainty.

Protein structure prediction (minimize the energy function) etc. Global Optimization algorithms may be categorized into several types: Deterministic (example: branch and bound methods), Stochastic optimization (example: simulated annealing).

Foundations of Computational Intelligence Volume 4: Bio-Inspired Data Mining Theoretical Foundations and Applications Recent advances in the computing and electronics technology, particularly in sensor devices, databases and distributed systems, are leading to an exponential growth in the amount of data stored in databases.

Data-mining has become a popular research topic in recent years for the treatment of the "data rich and information poor" syndrome. In this volume, we hope to remedy problems by (1) presenting a theoretical foundation of data-mining, and (2) providing important new directions for data-mining research.

This book takes a holistic view on mobile and distributed computing systems. Some chapters address core properties of ubiquitous applications including mobility, self-healing and self-organization of both technical and social-technical systems.

This book presents recent advances in intelligent educational machines. It will be of particular interest to engineers, researchers, and graduate students in Computational Intelligence.

Researchers have obtained robots that display an amazing slew of behaviors and perform a multitude of tasks, including perception of environment, negotiating rough terrain, and pushing boxes.

Discussion includes representative methods for addressing major sources of uncertainties in evolutionary computation, including handle of noisy fitness functions, use of approximate fitness functions, search for robust solutions, and tracking moving optimums.

This book summarizes the works and new research results presented at the First International Symposium on Intelligent Interactive Multimedia Systems and Services (KES-IIMSS 2008), held in Piraeus, Greece, July 2008.

This book is a fascinating window on the evolution of teaching and learning paradigms in intelligent environments. The three Australian authors include a number of chapters on issues of real relevance to today's teaching practice, including an introduction to the evolution of teaching and learning paradigms;

This book collects the extended versions of the best papers presented at the 3rd International Conference on Autonomous Robots and Agents, ICARA 2006, held at Palmerston North, New Zealand, December, 2006.

The theory of formal languages is widely recognized as the backbone of theoretical computer science, originating from mathematics and generative linguistics, among others.

The Web has revolutionized the way we seek information on all aspects of education, entertainment, business, health and so on. We present this book to discuss some important Web developments by using artificial intelligence techniques in the areas of Web personalisation, semantic Web and Web services.

The characteristics of computational intelligence paradigms such as learning, generalization based on learned knowledge, knowledge extraction from imprecise and incomplete data are the extremely important for the implementation of intelligent machines.

We often come across computational optimization virtually in all branches of engineering and industry. This title presents some of the developments with a focus on the design of algorithms for computational optimization and their applications in practice.

First studied in social insects like ants, indirect self-organizing interactions - known as "stigmergy" - occur when one individual modifies the environment and another subsequently responds to the new environment.

Such approaches are able to provide optimal or quasi-optimal solutions to a plethora of difficult combinatorial optimisation problems.The application of metaheuristics to combinatorial optimisation is an active field in which new theoretical developments, new algorithmic models, and new application areas are continuously emerging.

Artists and creators in interactive art and interaction design have long been conducting research on human-machine interaction.
