We present in this volume the collection of finally accepted papers for the ninth e- tion of the IWANN conference ( International Work-Conference on Artificial Neural Networks ). This biennial meeting focuses on the foundations, theory, models and applications of systems inspired by nature (neural networks, fuzzy logic and evo- tionary systems). Since the first edition of IWANN in Granada (LNCS 540, 1991), the computational intelligence community and the domain itself have matured and evolved. Under the computational intelligent banner we find a very heterogeneous scenario with a main...

To learn while being entertained is always an effective means in education. With the advance in technologies, in particular graphics, multimedia, and virtual reality te- nologies, this has evolved into the specific area of Edutainment . The second int- national conference on edutainment, Edutainment 2007, aimed to provide a forum for practitioners and researchers in the field to share their experiences and findings in this fast growing area. Following the success of Edutainment 2006, which was held in Hangzhou, China, Edutainment 2007 was held during June 11 13, 2007 in Hong Kong. This year,...

In den letzen Jahren entwickelte sich das World Wide Web (WWW) stetig weiter. Jungst gepragte Begriffe, wie Web 2.0 und AJAX, haben sich in der Welt der modernen Webentwicklung etabliert und werden von interessierten Webentwicklern und Webbenutzern mit Begeisterung aufgenommen. Das erhohte Interesse, welches AJAX aktuell geniesst, ist auf visuell attraktive und hochinteraktive Web-Applikationen zuruckzufuhren, die in ihrem Verhalten Desktop-Anwendungen ahneln.

Doch was genau steckt hinter diesem neuen Schlagwort? Dieser Frage wird in diesem Buch nachgegangen. Dabei wird auf einfache...

Multicore-Prozessoren mit zwei oder mehreren Prozessorkernen bieten eine immense Erhohung der potentiellen Leistungsfahigkeit von Computern aller Bereiche, vom PC bis hin zum Hochleistungsrechner.

Zur Ausnutzung dieser Leistungsfahigkeit fur eine tatsachlich schnellere Programmbearbeitung sind jedoch spezielle Programme und Programmiertechniken erforderlich, die mehrere Berechnungen in Form von Threads zur gleichzeitigen Abarbeitung auf den Kernen des Prozessors bereitstellen.

Dieses Buch fuhrt in alle Aspekte der Programmierung von Multicore-Prozessoren ein, die den...

Der Begriff "Web 2.0" ist mittlerweile nahezu allgegenwartig. Doch auch wenn er Einzug in diverse Stellenausschreibungen und Nachrichtenmeldungen gehalten hat, scheint doch den wenigsten Leuten klar zu sein, was er genau zu bedeuten hat. Diese Frage zu beantworten und die jeweiligen Hintergrunde aufzuzeigen ist das Ziel des ersten Teils dieses Buches.

Zudem wird ein Einblick in die relevanten Technologien gegeben. Neben AJaX werden hierbei auch die Grundlagen von RSS und Webservices praktisch vorgestellt, so dass der unerfahrene Leser nach dieser Lekture ein grundlegendes...
