Book DescriptionComputational Intelligence: Principles, Techniques and Applications presents both theories and applications of computational intelligence in a clear, precise and highly comprehensive style. The textbook addresses the fundamental aspects of fuzzy sets and logic, neural networks, evolutionary computing and belief networks. The application areas include fuzzy databases, fuzzy control, image understanding, expert systems, object recognition, criminal investigation, telecommunication networks,and intelligent robots. The book contains many numerical examples and homework problems with sufficient hints so that the students can solve them on their own. A CD-ROM containing the simulations is supplied with the book, to enable interested readers todevelop their own application programs with the supplied C/ C++ toolbox.

Mastering cluster technology-the linking of servers-is becoming increasingly important for application and system programmers and network designers, administrators, and managers. With Microsoft's Windows NT cluster server being the first to tie cluster technology with a major operating system, it appears destined to take a leadership position in the industry. Introduction to Microsoft Windows NT Cluster Server provides all you need to know to develop your abilities for this essential technology. The author provides both introductory and advanced material focused on the three basic functions: fault tolerant computing (failover), load balancing, and centralized administration and monitoring. He guides the reader from the basics of cluster servers, through Microsoft's cluster server set-up, communication, programming, and administration.Written for professionals who are familiar with the Windows NT operating system and have programming experience, Introduction to Microsoft Windows NT...

An accessible and up–to–date treatment featuring the connection between neural networks and statistics A Statistical Approach to Neural Networks for Pattern Recognition presents a statistical treatment of the Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), which is the most widely used of the neural network models. This book aims to answer questions that arise when statisticians are first confronted with this type of model, such as: How robust is the model to outliers? Could the model be made more robust? Which points will have a high leverage? What are good starting values for the fitting algorithm? Thorough answers to these questions and many more are included, as well as worked examples and selected problems for the reader. Discussions on the use of MLP models with spatial and spectral data are also included. Further treatment of highly important principal aspects of the MLP are provided, such as the robustness of the model in the event of outlying or atypical data; the...

Based upon the highly successful monograph edition, this advanced textbook serves as a more accessible introduction to nanomaterials, with 50 percent more content. All the topics are discussed from both a theoretical and experimental point of view, and a special emphasis is placed on current lectures in solid state physics, material sciences or nanotechnology. Clearly structured, the chapters explain in detail the general principles of one-dimensional systems, as well as combined theoretical and experimental descriptions of such topics as luminescence of carbon nanotubes, Raman scattering, and transport measurements. The final chapter is devoted to the latest research topics, including double-walled tubes, picotubes and nanotube peapods. All the chapters are rounded off by example problems, with a solutions manual for lecturers available from the publisher upon request.

This book describes how software code analysis tools such as IDA Pro are used to disassemble programs written in high-level languages and recognize different elements of disassembled code in order to debug applications in less time. Also described are the basics of Assembly language programming (MASM) and the system and format of commands for the Intel microprocessor. Aspects of disassembling, analyzing, and debugging software code are considered in detail, and an overview of contemporary disassemblers and debuggers used when analyzing executable code is provided. The basics of working with these tools and their operating principles are also included, and emphasis is placed on analyzing software code and identifying the main structure of those languages in which they were written.

During the last decade parallel technologies have completely transformed main stream computing. The majority of standard PCs today incorporate multi-processor chips, with up to four processors. This number will reach eight and more processors soon. The flexibility that parallel systems constructed with commodity components offer, make them easy to link through wide area networks, such as the Internet, to realize grids or clouds. The immediate benefit of these networks is that they can be accessed by a wide community of users, from many different disciplines, to solve compute intensive or data intensive problems requiring high speed computing resources. High Speed and Large Scale Scientific Computing touches upon issues related to the new area of cloud computing, discusses developments in grids, applications and information processing, as well as e-science. The book includes contributions from internationally renowned experts in these advanced technologies. The papers collected in this...
