Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Computational Intelligence (CI) bezeichnet ein Teilgebiet der Künstlichen Intelligenz, das biologische inspirierte Modelle algorithmisch umsetzt. Evolutionäre Algorithmen orientieren sich an der darwinistischen Evolution und suchen mit Hilfe von Crossover, Mutation und Selektion eine optimale Lösung. Die Fuzzy-Logik ermöglicht als unscharfe Logik eine kognitive Modellierung von Wissen und Inferenzprozessen. Neuronale Netze imitieren funktionale Aspekte des Gehirns für Aufgaben wie Klassifikation und Mustererkennung. Neuere Ansätze der CI wie Reinforcement Learning ermöglichen, das Verhalten künstlicher Agenten in unbekannten Umgebungen zu steuern. Die Schwarmintelligenz modelliert Algorithmen, die auf Basis vieler einfacher Komponenten intelligente Leistungen vollführen. Zu guter Letzt lösen künstliche Immunsysteme eine Reihe von Problemen, ähnlich wie ihr biologisches Pendant. Ein kompakter und übersichtlicher mit vielen Beispielen gespickter Einstieg in die verschiedenen Verfahren der CI.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 168 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -This volume contains the proceedings of the 7th International Working Conference on Active and Programmable Networks (IWAN 2005) that was held during November 21¿23, 2005, in Sophia Antipolis, Cote d¿ Azur, France, jointly organized by Hitachi Europe and INRIA. IWAN 2005 took place against a backdrop of questions about the viability and - cessity of a conference that deals with an area perceived by many as having run its full course. The Organizing Committee, during the preparations of the conference, took these concerns seriously and reflected them in the theme of this year¿s event, entitled ¿Re-incarnating Active Networking Research,¿ and expanding the scope of past calls for papers into topics that have emerged from active and programmable networks. The result was a success because we received 72 submissions, a number that - ceeded our expectations and in fact is one of the highest in the history of the conf- ence. The distinguished Technical Program Committee set high standards for the final program; each one of the submitted papers received three peer reviews with detailed comments and suggestions for the authors. In total, 13 papers were accepted for the main program sessions with 9 papers accepted unconditionally and the remaining 4 papers being conditionally accepted with shepherding by selected Program Committee members.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 276 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -These proceedings contain the papers presented at the 4th International S- posium on Location and Context Awareness (LoCA) during May 7¿8, 2009 in Tokyo,Japan.Locationandcontextawarenessarefundamentstonext-generation mobile and pervasive computing systems. Pervasive computing is a model of computing in which computation is everywhere and computer functions are - tegrated into everything. The ultimate aim is to make information, applications and services available anywhere and at anytime in the human environment in a uid manner appropriate to our current context. Once away from the desktop, we nd ourselves in a wide variety of contexts and hence situations. For computing to be relevant and useful in these emerging situations we must rely on a range of contextual cues. Context includes phys- logical, environmental, and computational data, whether sensed or inferred. In addition, context includes details of a user¿s activities, goals, abilities, pref- ences, a ordances, and surroundings. With location and context awareness we can expect computers to deliver information, services, and entertainment in a way that maximizes convenience and minimizes intrusion.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 292 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Calabi-Yau manifolds have been an object of extensive research during the last two decades. One of the reasons is the importance of Calabi-Yau 3-manifolds in modern physics - notably string theory. An interesting class of Calabi-Yau manifolds is given by those with complex multiplication (CM). Calabi-Yau manifolds with CM are also of interest in theoretical physics, e. g. in connection with mirror symmetry and black hole attractors. It is the main aim of this book to construct families of Calabi-Yau 3-manifolds with dense sets of bers with complex multiplication. Most - amples in this book are constructed using families of curves with dense sets of bers with CM. The contents of this book can roughly be divided into two parts. The rst six chapters deal with families of curves with dense sets of CM bers and introduce the necessary theoretical background. This includes among other things several aspects of Hodge theory and Shimura varieties. Using the rst part, families of Calabi-Yau 3-manifolds with dense sets of bers withCM are constructed in the remaining ve chapters. In the appendix one nds examples of Calabi-Yau 3-manifolds with complex mul- plication which are not necessarily bers of a family with a dense set ofCM bers. The author hopes to have succeeded in writing a readable book that can also be used by non-specialists.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 244 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The present volume contains the proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Formal Aspects in Security and Trust (FAST 2008), held in Malaga, Spain, October 9-10, 2008. FAST is an event a liated with the 13th European Sym- sium on Research in Computer Security (ESORICS 2008). FAST 2008 was held under the auspices of the IFIP WG 1.7 on Foundations of Security Analysis and Design. The 5th International Workshop on Formal Aspects in Security and Trust (FAST 2008) aimed at continuing the successful e ort of the previous three FAST workshop editions for fostering the cooperation among researchers in the areas of security and trust. As computing and network infrastructures become increasingly pervasive, and as they carry increasing economic activity, society needs well-matched security and trust mechanisms. These interactions incre- ingly span several enterprises and involve loosely structured communities of - dividuals. Participants in these activities must control interactions with their partners based on trust policies and business logic. Trust-based decisions - fectively determine the security goals for shared information and for access to sensitive or valuable resources. FAST sought for original papers focusing on formal aspects in: security and trust policy models; security protocol design and analysis; formal models of trustand reputation;logicsfor security andtrust;distributed trust management systems;trust-basedreasoning;digitalassetsprotection;dataprotection ;privacy and ID issues; information ow analysis; language-based security; security and trust aspects in ubiquitous computing; validation/analysis tools; Web service security/trust/privacy; GRID security; security risk assessment; case studies. 344 pp. Englisch.
