Although the computer's life has been relatively short, it has brought about an information revolution that is transforming our world on a scale that is still difficult to comprehend.
Social navigation is a vibrant new field which examines how we navigate information spaces in "e;real"e; and "e;virtual"e; environments, how we orient and guide ourselves, and how we interact with and use others to find our way in information spaces.
This volume contains papers presented during the science trace at the 4th International Conference of Business Information Systems, BIS 2000, held in Poznan, Poland, 12-13 April 2000, which discussed the development, implementation, applications and improvement of computer systems for business processes.
Crossing the Border examines the emergence of a new philosophy based on the idea of "e;human-centred technology"e; and, through the use of a case study, illustrates the ways in which users, social scientists, managers and engineers can participate in the design and development of human-centred computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) system.
Mike Cooley One of the most remarkable features of modern industrial society, is the gap between that which technology could provide for society (its potential) and that which it actually does provide for society (its reality).
As the Internet and the WWW impact on corporate and private activities, the human-computer interface is becoming a central issue for the designers of these systems.
Evolutionary Web Development examines the evolution of Web information systems, paying particular attention to the emergent attributes of electronic markets.
Soft Computing has emerged as an important approach towards achieving intelligent computational paradigms where key elements are learning from experience in the presence of uncertainties, fuzzy belief functioos, and *evolutioo of the computing strategies of the learning agent itself.
Machine vision systems offer great potential in a large number of areas of manufacturing industry and are used principally for Automated Visual Inspection and Robot Vision.
Essential ColdFusion fast gives the reader a working knowledge of ColdFusion and how to use it and how it integrates with other web-based technologies.
Multimedia Internet Broadcasting: Quality, Technology and Interface studies one of the most exciting aspects of contemporary Internet use and research: the broadcasting of multimedia content.
Soft computing embraces various methodologies for the development of intelligent systems that have been successfully applied to a large number of real-world problems.
Kim Halskov Madsen Up until a few decades ago, business administration and science were the primary areas in which computers were applied, but terms like pervasive computing reflect that interactive computing power is becoming an embedded part of people's every- day environment, not only office buildings and private homes but also art and cul- At one of the frontiers of multimedia applications computers are used as tural events.
This book provides an overview of interfaces to social information spaces, illustrated by several contemporary systems including Usenet News and CoWebs.
An essential introduction to developing your own dynamic interactive web sites with XHTML, (the new flexible XML based markup language that is replacing HTML as the language used for designing web sites).
Containing the edited research papers resulting from an ambitious, cross-disciplinary research project, this volume examines the spatiality of virtual inhabited 3D worlds - virtual reality and cyberspace.
Prior to the early 1990s the term 'evolutionary computing' (EC) would have meant little to most practising engineers unless they had a particular interest in emerging computing technologies or were part of an organisation with significant in-house research activities.
In the last decade new artificial intelligence methods for the modelling and control of complex systems, namely neural networks, fuzzy logic and probabilistic reasoning have drawn the interest of researchers and engineers.
This book highlights the critical challenge of improving the design and performance of hip implants, which are essential for enhancing patient outcomes in hip replacement surgeries.
3D point clouds have broad applications across various industries and have contributed to advancements in fields such as autonomous driving, immersive media, metaverse, and cultural heritage protection.
The newest communication technologies are profoundly changing the world's politics, economies, and cultures, but the specific implications of online game worlds remain mysterious.
This highly practical Guide to Geometric Algebra in Practice reviews algebraic techniques for geometrical problems in computer science and engineering, and the relationships between them.
