Artificial intelligence and expert systems have seen a great deal of research in recent years, much of which has been devoted to methods for incorporating uncertainty into models. This book is devoted
The book describes the world's first successful experiment in fully automated board game design. Evolutionary methods were used to derive new rule sets within a custom game description language, and s
Image compression is concerned with minimization of the number of information carrying units used to represent an image. Lossy compression techniques incur some loss of information which is usually im
The ultimate goal of machines is to help humans to solve problems.Such problems range between two extremes: structured problems for which the solution is totally defined (and thus are easily programme
Voice over IP (VoIP) and Internet Multimedia Subsystem technologies (IMS) are rapidly being adopted by consumers, enterprises, governments and militaries. These technologies offer higher flexibility a
A dual purpose textbook. It is uniquely written to cover core material in the foundations of computing for graduate students in computer science and to provide an introduction to some more advanced to
Since the introduction of Hoares' Communicating Sequential Processes notation, powerful new tools have transformed CSP into a practical way of describing industrial-sized problems. This book presents
HIS BOOK CONTAINS a most comprehensive text that presents syntax-directed and compositional methods for the formal veri?- T cation of programs. The approach is not language-bounded in the sense that i
Image processing is concerned with the analysis and manipulation of images by computer. Providing a thorough treatment of image processing with an emphasis on those aspects most used in computer graph
The primary objective of this essential text is to emphasize the deep relations existing between the semiring and dioA_d structures with graphs and their combinatorial properties. It does so at the s
* Provides an elegant introduction to the geometric concepts that are important to applications in robotics* Includes significant state-of-the art material that reflects important advances, connecting
This updated textbook introduces readers to assembly and its evolving role in computer programming and design. The author concentrates the revised edition on protected-mode Pentium programming, MIPS a
Time-series data--data arriving in time order, or a data stream--can be found in fields such as physics, finance, music, networking, and medical instrumentation. Designing fast, scalable algorithms f
. An Ideal Resource for Improving Programming Knowledge . The challenges of problems from international programming competitions are an effective way to improve algorithmic and coding skills and under
Despite the interest in parallelism and parallel processing, there is a fundamental question that has remained largely unexplored, namely the question of how to design multiprograms (parallel programs
A pseudorandom generator is an easy-to-compute function that stretches a short random string into a much longer string that "looks" just like a random string to any efficient adversary. One immediate
