This volume constitutes the proceedings of the International Conference on Algorithmic Aspects in Information and Management, AAIM 2014, held in Vancouver, BC, Canada, in July 2014.

The 30 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 45 submissions. The topics cover most areas in discrete algorithms and their applications.

Informatikerinnen und Informatiker aller Fachrichtungen mussen die grundlegenden Konzepte, Methoden und Verfahren, die der Entwicklung und dem Einsatz von Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien zugrunde liegen, verstehen und bei der Losung von Problemen anwenden konnen. Das Buch stellt die algebraischen und zahlentheoretischen Grundlagen dafur vor und wendet diese bei der Losung praktischer Problemstellungen, wie modulare Arithmetik, Primzahltests und Verschlusselung an. Das Verstandnis der Begriffe und deren Zusammenhange und Zusammenwirken wird u.a. durch Lernziele, integrierte...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th European Conference on Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimization, Evo COP 2014, held in Granada, Spain, in April 2014, co-located with the Evo*2014 events Euro GP, Evo BIO, Evo MUSART and Evo Applications.

The 20 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 42 submissions. The papers cover the following topics: swarm intelligence algorithms, fitness landscapes and adaptive algorithms, real world and routing problems and cooperative and metaheuristic search.

Create Genuine Visual Realism in Computer Graphics

Digital Representations of the Real World: How to Capture, Model, and Render Visual Reality explains how to portray visual worlds with a high degree of realism using the latest video acquisition technology, computer graphics methods, and computer vision algorithms. It explores the integration of new capture modalities, reconstruction approaches, and visual perception into the computer graphics pipeline.

Understand the Entire Pipeline from Acquisition, Reconstruction, and Modeling to Realistic...

This book constitutes the revised selected papers of the 9th Italian Workshop on Advances in Artificial Life and Evolutionary Computation held in Vietri sul Mare, Italy, in May 2014, in conjunction with the 24th Italian Workshop on Neural Networks, WIRN 2014.

The 16 papers presented have been thoroughly reviewed and selected from 40 submissions. They cover the following topics: artificial neural networks; fuzzy inference systems; rough set; approximate reasoning; and optimization methods such as evolutionary computation, swarm intelligence, particle swarm optimization.

This book describes recent theoretical findings relevant to bilevel programming in general, and in mixed-integer bilevel programming in particular. It describes recent applications in energy problems, such as the stochastic bilevel optimization approaches used in the natural gas industry. New algorithms for solving linear and mixed-integer bilevel programming problems are presented and explained.

Problems demanding globally optimal solutions are ubiquitous, yet many are intractable when they involve constrained functions having many local optima and interacting, mixed-type variables.

The differential evolution (DE) algorithm is a practical approach to global numerical optimization which is easy to understand, simple to implement, reliable, and fast. Packed with illustrations, computer code, new insights, and practical advice, this volume explores DE in both principle and practice. It is a valuable resource for professionals needing a proven optimizer and for students wanting...

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 15th International Workshop on Multi-Agent-Based Simulation, MABS 2014, held in Paris, France, in May 2014. The workshop was held in conjunction with the 13th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, AAMAS 2014.

The 17 revised full papers included in this volume were carefully selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on simulation methodologies, simulation of social behaviour, data and multi-agent-based simulation and applications.
