Application of Agents and Intelligent Information TechnologiesThe Web has sparked renewed interest in developing intelligent information systems that enable users to accomplish complex tasks in Web-centric environments with relative ease. Although artificially intelligent (AI) technologies such as expert systems and neural networks have been successfully used in aerospace, communication, medical, and... | | Object-Oriented Design Knowledge: Principles, Heuristics and Best PracticesIn order to establish itself as a branch of engineering, a profession must understand its accumulated knowledge. In addition, software engineering as a branch of engineering must take several basic steps in order to become an established profession, highlighting understanding of the nature of its knowledge.
Software... | | Artificial Cognition SystemsThe central questions confronting artificial intelligence and cognitive science revolve around the nature of meaning and of mind. Minds are presumed to be the processors of mental content, where that content has the capacity to influence our speech and other behavior. The hard part is figuring out how that is done. Mental states must exercise... |

Semantic-Based Visual Information RetrievalContent-based visual information retrieval (CBVIR) is one of the most interesting research topics in the last years for the image and video community. With the progress of electronic equipment and computer techniques for visual information capturing and processing, a huge number of image and video records have been collected. Visual information... | | Encyclopedia of Mobile Computing and CommerceNowadays, mobile communication, mobile devices, and mobile computing are widely available. Everywhere people are carrying mobile devices, such as mobile phones. The availability of mobile communication networks has made a huge impact to various applications, including commerce. Consequently, there is a strong relationship between mobile computing... | | Business Data Communications and Networking: A Research PerspectiveResearch in the area of data communications and networking is well and alive as this collection of contributions show. The book has received enhanced contributions from the authors that published in the inaugural volume of the International Journal of Business Data Communications and Networking (http://www.idea-group.com/ijbdcn). The chapters are... |

Handbook of Enterprise Systems Architecture in PracticeI am not sure exactly when the importance of enterprise architecture (EA) dawned on me. What is clear is that it wasn’t a “one fine day” realization, rather a result of numerous conversations with CIOs, IT managers, CFOs, process managers, and multiple research studies that convinced me that EA is perhaps the most important and... | | Research and Trends in Data Mining Technologies and ApplicationsIn enterprises, a large volume of data has been collected and stored in data warehouses. Advances in data gathering, storage, and distribution have created a need for integrating data warehousing and data mining techniques. Mining data warehouses raises unique issues and requires special attention. Data warehousing and data mining are... | | |

Emerging Trends And Challenges in Information Technology ManagementMany theoretical development practices exist for creating multimedia systems. Most of these development models are orientated towards building traditional information systems, where the requirements are usually well understood. Multimedia systems, like the industry itself, are evolving rapidly, therefore new tools and techniques are constantly... | | Managing Worldwide Operations and Communications With Information TechnologyA data warehouse consists of a set of materialized views that contain derived data from several data sources. Materialized views are beneficial because they allow efficient retrieval of summary data. However, materialized views need to be refreshed periodically in order to avoid staleness. During a materialized view refresh only changes to the base... | | Design Pattern Formalization TechniquesSoftware design is a fledgling discipline. When the “software crisis” came to be acknowledged during the late 1960s, software development projects have been marred by budget overflows and catastrophic failures. This situation has largely remained unchanged. Programmers still create poorly-understood systems of monstrous complexity which... |
