The field of natural computing has been the focus of a substantial research effort in recent decades. One particular strand of this research concerns the development of computational algorithms using metaphorical inspiration from systems and phenomena that occur in the natural world. These naturally inspired computing algorithms have proven to be successful problem-solvers across domains as div…
This book addresses different methods and techniques of integration for enhancing the overall goal of data mining.
Long considered a "black art", designers of digital, analog, radio-frequency and mixed-signal systems are now looking to means for automating the design flow of electronic circuits using new, computationally intelligent approaches, based on modeling, synthesis, design methodologies, optimization algorithms, and metaheuristics. This book explains the application of recent advances in computation…
This monograph presents new developments in multi-level decision-making theory, technique and method in both modeling and solution issues. It especially presents how a decision support system can support managers in reaching a solution to a multi-level decision problem in practice. This monograph combines decision theories, methods, algorithms and applications effectively. It discusses in de…
This book covers the latest advances in playful user interfaces – interfaces that invite social and physical interaction. These new developments include the use of audio, visual, tactile and physiological sensors to monitor, provide feedback and anticipate the behavior of human users. The decreasing cost of sensor and actuator technology makes it possible to integrate physical behavior inform…
