This potent area of technology allows us to formulate and solve a multitude of problems. Written by leading experts, this overview covers a number of aspects of fuzzy optimization, some related general issues, and various applications of this powerful tool.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th European Conference on Evolutionary Computation, Machine Learning and Data Mining in Bioinformatics, EvoBIO 2011, held in Torino, Italy, in April 2011 co-located with the Evo* 2011 events. The 12 revised full papers presented together with 7 poster papers were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. All papers included topics of interest such as biomarker discovery, cell simulation and modeling, ecological modeling, fluxomics, gene networks, biotechnology, metabolomics, microarray analysis, phylogenetics, protein interactions, proteomics, sequence analysis and alignment, and systems biology.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Pattern Recognition, IWAIPR 2021, held in Havana, Cuba, in October 2021. The 42 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 73 submissions. The papers promote and disseminate ongoing research on mathematical methods and computing techniques for artificial intelligence and pattern recognition, in particular in bioinformatics, cognitive and humanoid vision, computer vision, image analysis and intelligent data analysis.
An agent in a multi-agent system (MAS) has to generate plans for its individual goal, but these plans may con?ict with those that are already being scheduled or executed by other agents. It must also be able to complete its planning and resolution of these con?icts within a reasonable time to have an acceptable quality plan. Although we adopt hierarchical planning (HP, for example, see [7, 12]) using the decision-theoretic planning (DTP) approach [6] for ef?cient planning, it is not trivial to apply HPO to MAS. In HP, appropriate (abstract) plans are selected level by level to maximize the utility U (p), where where p is the expected ?nal plan comprising a sequence of primitive actions. Howe...
This book comprises a selection of papers on theoretical advances and applications of fuzzy logic and soft computing from the IFSA 2007 World Congress, held in Cancun, Mexico, June 2007. These papers constitute an important contribution to the theory and applications of fuzzy logic and soft computing methodologies.
This book focuses on the core areas of computing and their applications in the real world. Presenting papers from the Computing Conference 2020 covers a diverse range of research areas, describing various detailed techniques that have been developed and implemented. The Computing Conference 2020, which provided a venue for academic and industry practitioners to share new ideas and development experiences, attracted a total of 514 submissions from pioneering academic researchers, scientists, industrial engineers and students from around the globe. Following a double-blind, peer-review process, 160 papers (including 15 poster papers) were selected to be included in these proceedings. Featuring state-of-the-art intelligent methods and techniques for solving real-world problems, the book is a valuable resource and will inspire further research and technological improvements in this important area.
The book describes the science gateway building technology developed in the SCI-BUS European project and its adoption and customization method, by which user communities, such as biologists, chemists, and astrophysicists, can build customized, domain-specific science gateways. Many aspects of the core technology are explained in detail, including its workflow capability, job submission mechanism to various grids and clouds, and its data transfer mechanisms among several distributed infrastructures. The book will be useful for scientific researchers and IT professionals engaged in the development of science gateways.
This book constitutes thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the workshops of the 17th International Conference on Parallel Computing, Euro-Par 2011, held in Bordeaux, France, in August 2011. The papers of these 12 workshops CCPI, CGWS, HeteroPar, HiBB, HPCVirt, HPPC, HPSS HPCF, PROPER, CCPI, and VHPC focus on promotion and advancement of all aspects of parallel and distributed computing.
This book contains a selection of papers from the 2021 International Conference on Software Process Improvement (CIMPS’21), held between the 20th and 22th of October in Torreón Coahuila, México as virtual venue. The CIMPS’21 is a global forum for researchers and practitioners that present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, results, experiences and concerns in the several perspectives of Software Engineering with clear relationship but not limited to software processes, Security in Information and Communication Technology and Big Data Field. The main topics covered are: Organizational Models, Standards and Methodologies, Software Process Improvement, Knowledge Management, Software Systems, Applications and Tools, Information and Communication Technologies and Processes in non-software domains (Mining, automotive, aerospace, business, health care, manufacturing, etc.) with a demonstrated relationship to Software Engineering Challenges.
