Universal Algebra, Algebraic Logic, and Databases
ISBN: 9780792326656 / Angielski / Twarda / 438 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Modern algebra, which not long ago seemed to be a science divorced from real life, now has numerous applications. Many fine algebraic structures are endowed with meaningful contents. Now and then practice suggests new and unexpected structures enriching algebra. This does not mean that algebra has become merely a tool for applications. Quite the contrary, it significantly benefits from the new connections. The present book is devoted to some algebraic aspects of the theory of databases. It consists of three parts. The first part contains information about universal algebra, algebraic logic is...

Integration of Natural Language and Vision Processing: Theory and Grounding Representations Volume III
ISBN: 9780792339441 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Although there has been much progress in developing theories, models and systems in the areas of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Vision Processing (VP), there has heretofore been little progress on integrating these two subareas of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This book contains a set of edited papers addressing theoretical issues and the grounding of representations in NLP and VP from philosophical and psychological points of view. The papers focus on site descriptions such as the reasoning work on space at Leeds, UK, the systems work of the ILS (Illinois, U.S.A.) and philosophical...

Adaptive Hypertext and Hypermedia
ISBN: 9780792348436 / Angielski / Twarda / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Hypertext/hypermedia systems and user-model-based adaptive systems in the areas of learning and information retrieval have for a long time been considered as two mutually exclusive approaches to information access. Adaptive systems tailor information to the user and may guide the user in the information space to present the most relevant material, taking into account a model of the user's goals, interests and preferences. Hypermedia systems, on the other hand, are user neutral': they provide the user with the tools and the freedom to explore an information space by browsing through a complex...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The Center for Intelligent Information Retrieval (CIIR) was formed in the Computer Science Department ofthe University ofMassachusetts, Amherst in 1992. The core support for the Center came from a National Science Foun- tion State/Industry/University Cooperative Research Center(S/IUCRC) grant, although there had been a sizeable information retrieval (IR) research group for over 10 years prior to that grant. Thebasic goal ofthese Centers is to combine basic research, applied research, and technology transfer. The CIIR has been successful in each of these areas, in that it has produced over 270...

Information Storage and Retrieval Systems: Theory and Implementation
ISBN: 9780792379249 / Angielski / Twarda / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Chapter 1 places into perspective a total Information Storage and Retrieval System. This perspective introduces new challenges to the problems that need to be theoretically addressed and commercially implemented. Ten years ago commercial implementation of the algorithms being developed was not realistic, allowing theoreticians to limit their focus to very specific areas. Bounding a problem is still essential in deriving theoretical results. But the commercialization and insertion of this technology into systems like the Internet that are widely being used changes the way problems are bounded....

The Fractal Structure of Data Reference: Applications to the Memory Hierarchy
ISBN: 9780792379454 / Angielski / Twarda / 133 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The architectural concept of a memory hierarchy has been immensely successful, making possible today's spectacular pace of technology evolution in both the volume of data and the speed of data access. Its success is difficult to understand, however, when examined within the traditional "memoryless" framework of performance analysis. The memoryless' framework cannot properly reflect a memory hierarchy's ability to take advantage of patterns of data use that are transient. The Fractal Structure of Data Reference: Applications to the Memory Hierarchy both introduces, and...

Logics for Databases and Information Systems
ISBN: 9780792381297 / Angielski / Twarda / 430 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Time is ubiquitous in information systems. Almost every enterprise faces the problem of its data becoming out of date. However, such data is often valu able, so it should be archived and some means to access it should be provided. Also, some data may be inherently historical, e.g., medical, cadastral, or ju dicial records. Temporal databases provide a uniform and systematic way of dealing with historical data. Many languages have been proposed for tem poral databases, among others temporal logic. Temporal logic combines ab stract, formal semantics with the amenability to efficient...

Operational Risk Management: The Integration of Decision, Communications, and Multimedia Technologies
ISBN: 9780792381785 / Angielski / Twarda / 207 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Advanced communications and information technologies provide the basis for operational risk management. In order to support managers in real-time risk assessment and decision-making, the advanced technologies must be complemented by an appropriate reasoning logic.
This book presents such a reasoning logic for operational risk management. Chapter 1 discusses the need for operational risk management and the feasibility of its use based upon advances in sensing, mobile communications, and satellite positioning technologies. Chapter II presents a reasoning logic for operational risk... Advanced communications and information technologies provide the basis for operational risk management.

Foundations of Knowledge Systems: With Applications to Databases and Agents
ISBN: 9780792382126 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) One of the main uses of computer systems is the management of large amounts of symbolic information representing the state of some application domain, such as information about all the people I communicate with in my personal address database, or relevant parts of the outer space in the knowledge base of a NASA space mission. While database management systems offer only the basic services of information storage and retrieval, more powerful knowledge systems offer, in addition, a number of advanced services such as deductive and abductive reasoning for the purpose of finding explanations and...

Information Retrieval: Uncertainty and Logics: Advanced Models for the Representation and Retrieval of Information
ISBN: 9780792383024 / Angielski / Twarda / 323 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In recent years, there have been several attempts to define a logic for information retrieval (IR). The aim was to provide a rich and uniform representation of information and its semantics with the goal of improving retrieval effectiveness. The basis of a logical model for IR is the assumption that queries and documents can be represented effectively by logical formulae. To retrieve a document, an IR system has to infer the formula representing the query from the formula representing the document. This logical interpretation of query and document emphasizes that relevance in IR is an...

Adaptive Data Compression
ISBN: 9780792390855 / Angielski / Twarda / 382 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Following an exchange of correspondence, I met Ross in Adelaide in June 1988. I was approached by the University of Adelaide about being an external examiner for this dissertation and willingly agreed. Upon receiving a copy of this work, what struck me most was the scholarship with which Ross approaches and advances this relatively new field of adaptive data compression. This scholarship, coupled with the ability to express himself clearly using figures, tables, and incisive prose, demanded that Ross's dissertation be given a wider audience. And so this thesis was brought to the attention of...
