Fuzzy sets were first proposed by Lotfi Zadeh in his seminal paper [366] in 1965, and ever since have been a center of many discussions, fervently admired and condemned.
This volume constitutes the proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Flexible Query Answering Systems, FQAS'2000, held in Warsaw, Poland on October 25 - 28, 2000.
In the last ten years, a true explosion of investigations into fuzzy modeling and its applications in control, diagnostics, decision making, optimization, pattern recognition, robotics, etc.
Assessing the degree to which two objects, an object and a query, or two concepts are similar or compatible is a fundamental component of human reasoning and consequently is critical in the development of automated diagnosis, classification, information retrieval and decision systems.
The volume "e;Fuzziness in Database Management Systems"e; is a highly informative, well-organized and up-to-date collection of contributions authored by many of the leading experts in its field.
Im heutigen Informationszeitalter werden täglich riesige Mengen von digitalen Daten über Kanäle wie die Atmosphäre, die Telefonleitung oder Speichermedien übertragen.
This volume brings together eminent scholars from various parts of the world, representing different fields of knowledge in order to explore the social, cultural, political and economic effects of the development of new technologies.
George Collins' discovery of Cylindrical Algebraic Decomposition (CAD) as a method for Quantifier Elimination (QE) for the elementary theory of real closed fields brought a major breakthrough in automating mathematics with recent important applications in high-tech areas (e.
Fortran gilt nunmehr seit über drei Jahrzehnten als die Programmiersprache zur Lösung technisch-wissenschaftlicher Probleme, was nicht zuletzt auf die stetige Entwicklung der Sprache auf standardisiertem Niveau zurückzuführen ist.
Das Buch präsentiert in vergleichender Darstellung die wesentlichen Funktionen von Betriebssystemen: Prozeßverwaltung, Speicherverwaltung, Ein- und Ausgabe, Dateiverwaltung, Datenschutz und Benutzerschnittstellen.
Artificial neural networks and genetic algorithms both are areas of research which have their origins in mathematical models constructed in order to gain understanding of important natural processes.
Fortran, die seit vierzig Jahren führende Programmiersprache der Numerischen Datenverarbeitung (des Scientific Computing), hat vor kurzem eine radikale Modernisierung erfahren: Fortran 90, das die bisherige Version FORTRAN 77 vollständig umfaßt und darüber hinaus neue, mächtige Sprachkonstrukte enthält, die eine Grundlage für die Entwicklung qualitativ hochstehender numerischer Software bilden.
This book is a collection of selected papers written by researchers qf our "e;RISC"e; institute (Research Institute for Symbolic Computation) along with the ESPRIT MEDLAR Project (Mechanizing Deduction in the Logics of Practical Reason- ing).
For several years now I have been teaching courses in computer algebra at the Universitat Linz, the University of Delaware, and the Universidad de Alcala de Henares.
New methodological aspects related to design and implementation of symbolic computation systems are considered in this volume aiming at integrating such aspects into a homogeneous software environment for scientific computation.
This is a new type of calculus book: Students who master this text will be well versed in calculus and, in addition, possess a useful working knowledge of one of the most important mathematical software systems, namely, MACSYMA.
Graph-based representation of images is becoming a popular tool since it represents in a compact way the structure of a scene to be analyzed and allows for an easy manipulation of sub-parts or of relationships between parts.
The aim of this book is to present important software tools, basic concepts, methods, and highly sophisticated applications of computerized symbolic manipulation to mechanics problems.
