Action C21 of the European programme for Cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research (COST - http: //www.cost.esf.org/) is dedicated to investigating urban ontologies for an improved communication in urban civil engineering projects. The Action, known informally as "Towntology," brings together a large and heterogeneous grouping from across Europe, whose interests range from construction to urban tourism and from transport infrastructure to resource visualisation. On 6-7 November 2006, in Geneva, the Action convened a successful workshop to address emerging issues in the...

This book focuses on the performance of mobile robots through the use of multi-hierarchical symbolic representations of the environment.
To perform deliberative actions, a robot must possess some symbolic representation of its workspace, but representations of real environments can become so large that they must be conveniently arranged to facilitate and, in some cases, make possible their use. Practical solutions tested on real robots, for example a robotic wheelchair, are provided.
This book focuses on the performance of mobile robots through the use of multi-hierarchical symbolic representations of the environment.
Innovations in Intelligent Machines is a very timely volume that takes a fresh look on the recent attempts of instilling human-like intelligence into computer-controlled devices. By contrast to the machine intelligence research of the last two decades, the recent work in this area recognises explicitly the fact that human intelligence is not purely computational but that it also has an element of empirical validation (interaction with the environment). Also, recent research recognises that human intelligence does not always prevent one from making errors but it equips one with the ability to...

The evolution of technologies has greatly changed the basic structure of our industry and nature of our daily lives. Industries which did not exist several decades ago have made remarkable progress in recent years and ?ourished. One of the most typical examples is the computer game industry. This book presents a sample of the most recent research concerning the application of computational intelligence techniques and internet technology in computer games. This book contains eight chapters. The ?rst chapter, by N. Baba and H. Handa, is on utilization of evolutionary algorithms to increase...

The scope of this volume is to give to the reader a wide scenario of recent works characterized by a synergistic combination of Soft Computing area with recent trends of Distributed Artificial Intelligence and Ambient Int- ligence. We edited this book for two basic motivations: the emergence of computational intelligence as a mature and integrated science, and the power of the agent paradigm in realizing complex and distributed environments. Computational Intelligence has nowadays a mature formal theory and robust implementation experiences. Intelligent agents have shown their inner ability...

Genetic algorithms today constitute a family of e?ective global optimization methods used to solve di?cult real-life problems which arise in science and technology. Despite their computational complexity, they have the ability to explore huge data sets and allow us to study exceptionally problematic cases in which the objective functions are irregular and multimodal, and where information about the extrema location is unobtainable in other ways. Theybelongtotheclassofiterativestochasticoptimizationstrategiesthat, during each step, produce and evaluate the set of admissible points from the...

Robots and autonomous agents have permeated every aspect of human life. They are not only omnipresent on the shop floors; they have pervaded our homes and are around us everywhere. Design methodologies and implementation techniques of intelligent machines are making progress in leaps and bounds. Smart interaction, cooperation, and pro-activeness are the hallmarks of modern intelligent machines.
This book deals with the theoretical and methodological aspects of incorporating intelligence in "Autonomous Robots and Agents." Challenges faced in the real world to accomplish complex...
