Modern cryptology increasingly employs mathematically rigorous concepts and methods from complexity theory. Conversely, current research topics in complexity theory are often motivated by questions and problems from cryptology. This book takes account of this situation, and therefore its subject is what may be dubbed "cryptocomplexity'', a kind of symbiosis of these two areas.

This book is written for undergraduate and graduate students of computer science, mathematics, and engineering, and can be used for courses on complexity theory and cryptology, preferably by stressing their...

Meshfree Particle Methods is a comprehensive and systematic exposition of particle methods, meshfree Galerkin and partitition of unity methods, molecular dynamics methods, and multiscale methods. Most theories, computational formulations, and simulation results presented are recent developments in meshfree methods. They were either just published recently or even have not been published yet, many of them resulting from the authors own research. The presentation of the technical content is heuristic and explanatory with a balance between mathematical rigor and engineering...

The two volume set LNCS 3102/3103 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference, GECCO 2004, held in Seattle, WA, USA, in June 2004.

The 230 revised full papers and 104 poster papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 460 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on artificial life, adaptive behavior, agents, and ant colony optimization; artificial immune systems, biological applications; coevolution; evolutionary robotics; evolution strategies and evolutionary programming; evolvable hardware; genetic...

Bioinformatics and computational intelligence are undoubtedly remarkably fast growing fields of research and real-world applications with enormous potential for current and future developments. Bioinformatics Using Computational Intelligence Paradigms contains recent theoretical approaches and guiding applications of biologically inspired information processing systems (computational intelligence) against the background of bioinformatics. This carefully edited monograph combines the latest results of bioinformatics and computational intelligence, and offers promising cross-fertilization...

This volume includes the five lecture courses given at the CIME-EMS School on "Stochastic Methods in Finance" held in Bressanone/Brixen, Italy 2003. It deals with innovative methods, mainly from stochastic analysis, that play a fundamental role in the mathematical modelling of finance and insurance: the theory of stochastic processes, optimal and stochastic control, stochastic differential equations, convex analysis and duality theory. Five topics are treated in detail: Utility maximization in incomplete markets; the theory of nonlinear expectations and its relationship with the theory of...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Symposium on Mobile Human-Computer Interaction, Mobile HCI 2004, held in Glasgow, UK, in September 2004.

The 25 revised full papers, 20 revised short papers, and 22 revised posters presented together with summaries of 7 workshops and 2 panels were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 166 submissions. The full papers are organized in topical sections on screen and power limitations; user differences and navigation; evaluation and evaluation techniques, till, touch and text entry; auditory interactions;...

This book assembles contributions from computer scientists and librarians that altogether encompass the complete range of tools, tasks and processes needed to successfully preserve the cultural heritage of the Web. It combines the librarian s application knowledge with the computer scientist s implementation knowledge, and serves as a standard introduction for everyone involved in keeping alive the immense amount of online information.
