Data Mining, the automatic extraction of implicit and potentially useful information from data, is increasingly used in commercial, scientific and other application areas.
In the second edition of this very successful book, Tony Sammes and Brian Jenkinson show how information held in computer systems can be recovered and how it may be deliberately hidden or subverted for criminal purposes.
viii As we look for such a strategy, technological development races on with new technologies that make our efforts and existing technologies on which they are based obsolete in shorter and shorter periods.
The purpose of this book is to present a self-contained description of the fun- damentals of the theory of nonlinear control systems, with special emphasis on the differential geometric approach.
Dissipative Systems Analysis and Control (second edition) presents a fully revised and expanded treatment of dissipative systems theory, constituting a self-contained, advanced introduction for graduate students, researchers and practising engineers.
When you first hear the term information assurance you tend to conjure up an image of a balanced set of reasonable measures that have been taken to protect the information after an assessment has been made of risks that are posed to it.
Discrete-event dynamic systems (DEDs) permeate our world, being of great importance in modern manufacturing processes, transportation and various forms of computer and communications networking.
In today's competitive world, industries are focusing on shorter lead times, improved quality, reduced cost, increased profit, improved productivity and better customer service.
The 15th International Workshop on Conceptual Structures ICCS 2007 brings together numerous discussions between international groups of researchers from the field of Information and Communications Technology (ICT).
Although the transfer function approach is widely used in classical control theory, computer-controlled continuous-time processes are a very important subset of periodic sampled-data systems which are not treatable using ordinary transfer functions.
Space support in databases poses new challenges in every part of a database management system & the capability of spatial support in the physical layer is considered very important.
Safety critical and high-integrity systems, such as industrial plants and economic systems can be subject to abrupt changes - for instance due to component or interconnection failure, and sudden environment changes etc.
Recent developments in constrained control and estimation have created a need for this comprehensive introduction to the underlying fundamental principles.
The extraordinary development of digital computers (microprocessors, microcontrollers) and their extensive use in control systems in all fields of applications has brought about important changes in the design of control systems.
Moving on from earlier stochastic and robust control paradigms, this book introduces the fundamentals of probabilistic methods in the analysis and design of uncertain systems.
Evolutionary Multiobjective Optimization is a rare collection of the latest state-of-the-art theoretical research, design challenges and applications in the field of multiobjective optimization paradigms using evolutionary algorithms.
