Velastin and Remagnino, both affiliated with the Digital Imaging Research Center, Kingston University, UK, present expanded papers from two IEE symposia, held in 2003 and 2004, on intelligent distribu
Artificial Intelligence provides a comprehensive coverage of the fundamental concepts and techniques in AI. The focus of this text is to solve real-world problems using the latest AI techniques. Intel
The revised and extended papers collected in this volume represent the cutting-edge of research at the nexus of electrical engineering and intelligent systems. They were selected from well over 1000 p
"Perspectives on ITS" is a collection of the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) writings of Professor Joseph M. Sussman from MIT.? Professor Sussman is a long-time major participant in the ITS w
The twin challenge of meeting global energy demands in the face of growing economies and populations and restricting greenhouse gas emissions is one of the most daunting ones that humanity has ever fa
"This book offers a vital compendium of research and developments within the field of distributed computing, giving case studies, frameworks, architectures, and best practices for academics and practi
"This book provides an extensive discussion of such technologies, theories and practices in an attempt to shed light on current trends and issues in the adaption of pervasive system"--
This book focuses on finite element methods with emphasis on MATLAB for numerical modeling of electromagnetic problems. Providing readers with knowledge and skills thorough which they can develop thei
Contemporary engineering design is heavily based on computer simulations. Accurate, high-fidelity simulations are used not only for design verification but, even more importantly, to adjust parameters
This book consists of eight chapters, five of which provide a summary of the tutorials and workshops organised as part of the cHiPSet Summer School: High-Performance Modelling and Simulation for Big D
In recent years, there has been an increased interest in the field of healthcare delivery systems. Scientists and practitioners are constantly searching for ways to improve the safety, quality and eff
This book introduces the author’s quality of protection modeling language (QoP-ML), which provides the multilevel modeling language for making abstraction of security systems that put emphasis on the
The emerging, multi-disciplinary field of systems biology is devoted to the study of the relationships between various parts of a biological system, and computer modeling plays a vital role in the dri
From the ox carts and pottery wheels the spacecrafts and disk drives, efficiency and quality has always been dependent on the engineer’s ability to anticipate and control the effects of vibration. And
This new text is written for the second GIS course taken by Geography majors. The primary focus of GIS Modeling in Raster is on the process of cartographic modeling and GIS modeling. The text goes b
Two general approaches have evolved to construct algorithms to solve complex problems in engineering and business. One is a mathematical approach that is accurate but only applicable to small and cert
In the early days of space travel, the development of thermal protection systems for re-entry was mainly based on an experimental approach for both design of materials and testing. During this period
