Carlos Andrés Peña-Reyes “Coevolutionary Fuzzy Modeling (Lecture Notes in Computer Science)”
Springer | English | 2004-11-23 | ISBN: 3540229949 | 129 pages | PDF | 5,6 MB
Building on fuzzy logic and evolutionary computing, this book introduces fuzzy cooperative coevolution as a novel approach to systems design, conductive to explaining human decision process. Fuzzy cooperative coevolution is a methodology for constructing systems able to accurately predict the outcome of a decision-making process, while providing an understandable explanation of the underlying reasoning.
The central contribution of this work is the use of an advanced evolutionary technique, cooperative coevolution, for dealing with the simultaneous design of connective and operational parameters. Cooperative doevolution overcomes several limitations exhibited by other standard evolutionary approaches.
The applicability of fuzzy cooperative coevolution is validated by modeling the decision processes of three real-world problems, an iris data benchmark problem and two problems from breast cancer diagnosis.

Phyllosilicates: Part β (Landolt-Börnstein - Group III Condensed Matter)
Springer | 598 pages | 2009 | ISBN: 3540712100 | PDF | 16 mb
The magnetic properties of silicates and phosphates are compiled in subvolume 27I. While subvolumes 27I1, 27I2, 27I3 and 27I4 (already published) deal with orthosilicates, sorosilicates, cyclosilicates, and inosilicates, respectively, the present subvolume 27I5 deals with phyllosilicates. Subvolume 27I5 has been split in two parts a and ss; part 27I5ss discusses chlorites, the kaolin group, serpentines, the halloysite and pyrosmalite groups, the sepiolite and palygorskite group, the reyerite and rhodesite groups and related phases, the kanemite and ekanite groups, tuscanite, vertiumnite, aminoffite, surite, cymrite, cavansite, eakerite, magadiite, kenyaite, bikitaite, petalite, prehnite and related silicates.
Further subvolumes will be dedicated to tectosilicates and to phosphates. Silicates are very complex systems, covering large classes of minerals as well as synthetic samples. Their crystal structure is discussed and atomic positions are given.In addition to magnetic properties, results of neutron diffraction studies, nuclear gamma resonance, nuclear magnetic resonance, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, transport properties, dielectric and optical data are reviewed.

Global Specification and Validation of Embedded Systems: Integrating Heterogeneous Components
Springer; 1 edition | ISBN: 140206151X | 148 pages | June 15, 2007 | PDF | 3 Mb
Global modelling and validation is required to master the design of systems made of heterogeneous components. These systems are now omnipresent in our life, and they may be found in several domains such as communications (ex. mobile terminals, optical switches), health (e.g. cardiac stimulators, cochlear implants), transportation (ex. automotive and aeronautical), etc.
The main difficulties for their design are modelling and validation of the interactions between different components (hardware, software, analogue, RF, optical and micro-mechanical).
Global Specification and Validation of Embedded Systems offers a deep understanding of concepts and practices behind the composition of heterogeneous components. After the analysis of existing computation and execution models used for the specification and validation of different sub-systems, the book introduces a systematic approach to build an execution model for systems composed of heterogeneous components. Mixed continuous/discrete and hardware/software systems will be used to illustrate these concepts. The benefit of reading this book is to give a clear vision on the theory and practice of specification and validation of complex modern systems. The examples give to the designers solutions applicable in their daily practice.

The conference proceedings of International Conference on Industrial Electronics, Technology & Automation (IETA 05), International Conference on Telecommunications and Networking (TeNe 05) and International Conference on Engineering Education, Instructional Technology, Assessment, and E-learning (EIAE 05) include a set of rigorously reviewed world-class manuscripts addressing and detailing state-of-the-art research projects in the areas of: Industrial Electronics, Technology and Automation, Telecommunications, Networking, Engineering Education, Instructional Technology and e-Learning.
The three conferences, (IETA 05, TENE 05 and EIAE 05) were part of the International Joint Conference on Computer, Information, and System Sciences, and Engineering (CISSE 2005).
CISSE received 255 research paper submissions and the final program included 140 accepted papers, from more than 45 countries. The whole concept and format of CISSE 2005 was very exciting and ground-breaking. The powerpoint presentations, final paper manuscripts and time schedule for live presentations over the web had been available for 3 weeks prior to the start of the conference for all registrants, so they could pick and choose the presentations they want to attend and think about questions that they might want to ask. The live audio presentations were also recorded and are part of the permanent CISSE archive, which includes all power point presentations, papers and recorded presentations.

SHAPE FROM POSITIONAL-CONTRAST: Characterising Sketches with Qualitative Line Arrangements
duv | ISBN: 3835060708 | 214 pages | January 1, 2007 | PDF | 1 Mb
Graphical queries for the purpose of searching for pictorial information are of growing interest in areas where pictures provide valuable information, including, for instance, design, architecture, and engineering. Sketching graphical queries is a natural way of revealing the visual appearence of objects one has in mind.
Björn Goffried develops computationally effective concepts for dealing with shape, in particular imprecise and incomplete sketched shapes. He exemplarily applies his method using graphical queries to search for historical objects. Specifying objects graphically, he shows that the new method is in fact capable of dealing with imprecise sketches.

DAO Object Model: The Definitive Guide
O’Reilly | 2000-01-01 | ISBN: 1565924355 | 401 pages | PDF | 2MB
This book, for advanced Access users or keen intermediate users, details the two Access object models, with code samples to use in VBA and/or VBScript. It will be *the* reference guide VB developers reach for when working with data in Access tables or when manipulating components of the Access interface from other Office applications.
An understanding of object models is essential for developers when workng with data in Access tables or when manipulating components of the Access interface from other Office applications. The Data Access Objects (DAO) model is used to write and read data in Access tables. The Access object model is used to manipulate forms, reports, queries, macros, and other components of the Access interface, including most of the commands by means of the DoCmd object. This book includes an introduction and a brief description of the differences between VBA (used in most Office apps) and VBScript (used in Outlook). The rest of the book is divided into two parts, one on the Access Object Model, the other on the Data Access Objects (DAO). Each section includes a description of what the object represents; listings of properties, events, and methods; and one or more code samples illustrating its use in VBA and/or VBScript code.
