The work described in this book was first presented at the Eighth Workshop
on Genetic Programming, Theory and Practice, organized by the Center for the
Study of Complex Systems at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, May
20-22, 2010. The goal of this workshop series is to promote the exchange of
research results and ideas...
R is an open-source and free software environment for statistical computing
and graphics. R compiles and runs on a wide variety of UNIX platforms
(e.g., GNU/Linux and FreeBSD), Windows, and Mac OSX. Since the late
1990s, R has been developed by hundreds of contributors and new capabilities
are added each month....
Financial engineers have access to enormous quantities of data but need powerful methods for extracting quantitative information, particularly about volatility and risks. Key features of this textbook are: illustration of concepts with financial markets and economic data, R Labs with real-data exercises, and integration of graphical and...
Approximate Global Convergence and Adaptivity for Coefficient Inverse Problems is the first book in which two new concepts of numerical solutions of multidimensional Coefficient Inverse Problems (CIPs) for a hyperbolic Partial Differential Equation (PDE) are presented: Approximate Global Convergence and the Adaptive Finite Element...
Time Series Analysis and Its Applications presents a balanced and comprehensive treatment of both time and frequency domain methods with accompanying theory. Numerous examples using nontrivial data illustrate solutions to problems such as discovering natural and anthropogenic climate change, evaluating pain perception...
ISGC 2010, The International Symposium on Grid Computing was held at Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan, March, 2010. The 2010 symposium brought together prestigious scientists and engineers worldwide to exchange ideas, present challenges/solutions and to discuss new topics in the field of Grid Computing.
Advanced Quantum Mechanics: Materials and Photons is a textbook which emphasizes the importance of advanced quantum mechanics for materials science and all experimental techniques which employ photon absorption, emission, or scattering. Important aspects of introductory quantum mechanics are covered in the first seven chapters to make...
As technology feature size of devices and interconnects shrink at the rate predicted
by Moore’s law, gate density and design complexity on single integrated chip
(IC) keep increasing in recent decades. The close to nanoscale fabrication process
introduces more manufacturing errors. New failure mechanisms that are not covered...
The Java language has had an enormous impact since its introduction in the last
decade of the twentieth century. Its success has been particularly strong in enterprise
applications, where Java is one of the preeminent technology in use. A domain
where Java is still trying to gain a foothold is that of real-time and embedded...
This book covers up-to-date methods and algorithms for the automated analysis of engineering drawings and digital cartographic maps. The Non-Deterministic Agent System (NDAS) offers a parallel computational approach to such image analysis. The book describes techniques suitable for persistent and explicit knowledge representation for...
Anybody following the discussions around “Web Services” in recent years is aware
of the fuzzy definition of the term, and a little bit of history can quite easily explain
some of the confusions around current terminology (or use of terminology). The
general idea of using Web technologies to not only deliver Web pages (HTML...
Although studies on multiobjective mathematical programming under uncertainty have been accumulated and several books on multiobjective mathematical programming under uncertainty have been published (e.g., Stancu-Minasian (1984); Slowinski and Teghem (1990); Sakawa (1993); Lai and Hwang (1994); Sakawa (2000)), there seems to be no book which...
