Mobile Intention Recognition addresses problems of practical relevance for mobile system engineers: how can we make mobile assistance systems more intelligent?
This revised and extensively expanded edition of Computability and Complexity Theory comprises essential materials that are core knowledge in the theory of computation.
These contributions, written by the foremost international researchers and practitioners of Genetic Programming (GP), explore the synergy between theoretical and empirical results on real-world problems, producing a comprehensive view of the state of the art in GP.
Whether different types of costs are to be reduced, benefits to be maximized or scarce resources to be managed, scheduling theory provides intelligent methods for practitioners and scientists.
Techniques and principles of minimax theory play a key role in many areas of research, including game theory, optimization, and computational complexity.
Although the monograph Progress in Optimization I: Contributions from Aus- tralasia grew from the idea of publishing a proceedings of the Fourth Optimiza- tion Day, held in July 1997 at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, the focus soon changed to a refereed volume in optimization.
This book contains a selection of papers presented at the conference on High Performance Software for Nonlinear Optimization (HPSN097) which was held in Ischia, Italy, in June 1997.
About 60 scientists and students attended the 96' International Conference on Nonlinear Programming, which was held September 2-5 at Institute of Compu- tational Mathematics and Scientific/Engineering Computing (ICMSEC), Chi- nese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China.
Rough Sets and Data Mining: Analysis of Imprecise Data is an edited collection of research chapters on the most recent developments in rough set theory and data mining.
Searching Multimedia Databases by Content bridges the gap between the database and signal processing communities by providing the necessary background information for the reader and presenting it along with the intuition and mechanics of the best existing tools in each area.
Information Retrieval (IR) has concentrated on the development of information management systems to support user retrieval from large collections of homogeneous textual material.
This volume presents the results of approximately 15 years of work from researchers around the world on the use of fuzzy set theory to represent imprecision in databases.
Document Processing and Retrieval: TEXPROS focuses on the design and implementation of a personal, customizable office information and document processing system called TEXPROS (a TEXt PROcessing System).
Despite the significant ongoing work in the development of new database systems, many of the basic architectural and performance tradeoffs involved in their design have not previously been explored in a systematic manner.
Input/Output in Parallel and Distributed Computer Systems has attracted increasing attention over the last few years, as it has become apparent that input/output performance, rather than CPU performance, may be the key limiting factor in the performance of future systems.
Multimedia Database Systems: Design and Implementation Strategies is a compendium of the state-of-the-art research and development work pertaining to the problems and issues in the design and development of multimedia database systems.
This volume contains refereed papers based on the lectures presented at the XIV International Conference on Mathematical Programming held at Matrahaza, Hungary, between 27-31 March 1999.
Advances in the field of signal processing, nonlinear dynamics, statistics, and optimization theory, combined with marked improvement in instrumenta- tion and development of computers systems, have made it possible to apply the power of mathematics to the task of understanding the human brain.
Data mining includes a wide range of activities such as classification, clustering, similarity analysis, summarization, association rule and sequential pattern discovery, and so forth.
There has been much recent progress in global optimization algo- rithms for nonconvex continuous and discrete problems from both a theoretical and a practical perspective.
An important objective of the study of mathematics is to analyze and visualize phenomena of nature and real world problems for its proper understanding.
In the quest to understand and model the healthy or sick human body, re- searchers and medical doctors are utilizing more and more quantitative tools and techniques.
This book presents a unified collection of concepts, tools, and techniques that constitute the most important technology available today for the design and implementation of information systems.
These are my lecture notes from CS681: Design and Analysis of Algo- rithms, a one-semester graduate course I taught at Cornell for three consec- utive fall semesters from '88 to '90.
