State-Space Search: Algorithms, Complexity, Extensions, and Applications
ISBN: 9780387988320 / Angielski / Twarda / 201 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This book is about problem solving. Specifically, it is about heuristic state-space search under branch-and-bound framework for solving com binatorial optimization problems. The two central themes of this book are the average-case complexity of heuristic state-space search algorithms based on branch-and-bound, and their applications to developing new problem-solving methods and algorithms. Heuristic state-space search is one of the fundamental problem-solving techniques in Computer Science and Operations Research, and usually constitutes an important component of most intelligent...

The Universal Computer: The Road from Leibnitz to Turing
ISBN: 9780393047851 / Angielski / Twarda / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Computers are everywhere today--at work, in the bank, in artist's studios, sometimes even in our pockets--yet they remain to many of us objects of irreducible mystery. How can today's computers perform such a bewildering variety of tasks if computing is just glorified arithmetic? The answer, as Martin Davis lucidly illustrates, lies in the fact that computers are essentially engines of logic. Their hardware and software embody concepts developed over centuries by logicians such as Leibniz, Boole, and Godel, culminating in the amazing insights of Alan Turing. The Universal Computer traces the...

the logic of practical reasoning, under the collective title, A Practical Logic of Cognitive Systems. In this highly original approach, practical reasoning is identified as reasoning performed with comparatively few cognitive assets, including resources such as information, time and computational capacity. Unlike what is proposed in optimization models of human cognition, a practical reasoner lacks perfect information, boundless time and unconstrained access to computational complexity. The...

Which is pretty scary when you come to think of it: either a goblin has cast a spell on a whole profession - or that profession is doing something fundamentally wrong."
IT Success challenges the widespread assumption that an IT department is like a building contractor whose project managers, architects and engineers (all construction industry terms...) are supposed to deliver systems on schedule, within budget and to spec. Michael Gentle explains why this is... "Fifty years after the birth of corporate computing, IT today is still characterized by 50-70% project failure rates. Which is pretty scary when yo...

Fuzzy Expert Systems and Fuzzy Reasoning

Now they have become highly evolved and their techniques are well established. This book will teach the reader how to construct a fuzzy expert system to solve real-world problems. After a general discussion of expert systems, the basic fuzzy math required is presented first, requiring little more math background than high-school algebra. This book will fill a void in the market because although there are many books on expert systems, none devote more than a few pages to the notion of fuzzy sets and their applications in this...

Computer Science Reconsidered: The Invocation Model of Process Expression
ISBN: 9780471798149 / Angielski / Twarda / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The Invocation Model of Process Expression argues that mathematics does not provide the most appropriate conceptual foundations for computer science, but, rather, that these foundations are a primary source of unnecessary complexity and confusion. It supports that there is a more appropriate conceptual model that unifies forms of expression considered quite disparate and simplifies issues considered complex and intractable. This book presents that this model of process expression is alternative theory of computer science that is both valid and practical.
