ISBN: 3540776214 ISBN-13: 9783540776215 Publisher: Springer OUR PRICE: $208.99 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: July 2008 Annotation: This volume provides a source wherein academics, researchers and practitioners may derive high-quality, original and state-of-the-art papers describing theoretical aspects, systems architectures, analysis and design tools and techniques, and implementation experiences in intelligent systems where information and knowledge management should be mainly characterised as a net-centric infrastructure riding on the fifth wave of "distributed intelligence." An urgent need for editing such a volume has occurred as a result of vivid discussions and presentations at the a oeIEEE-ISa (TM) 2006 a " The 2006 Third International IEEE Conference on Intelligent Systemsa held in London, UK, at the University of Westminster in the beginning of September, 2006. This book is a compilation of many valuable inspiring works written by both the conference participants and some other experts in this new and challenging field. |

| Publisher Description: The purpose of this volume is to foster and present new directions and so- tionsinbroadlyperceivedintelligentsystems.Theemphasisisonconstructive approaches that can be of utmost important for a further progress and imp- mentability. The volume is focused around a crucial prerequisite for developing and implementing intelligent systems, namely to computationally represent and manipulate knowledge (both theory and information), augmented by an ab- ity to operationally deal with large-scale knowledge bases, complex forms of situation assessment, sophisticated value-based modes of reasoning, and - tonomic and autonomous system behaviours. These challenges exceed the capabilities and performance capacity of c- rent open standards, approaches to knowledge representation, management and system architectures. The intention of the editors and contributors of this volume is to present tools and techniques that can help in ?lling this gap. New system architectures must be devised in response to the needs of exhibiting intelligent behaviour, cooperate with users and other systems in problemsolving, discovery, access, retrievalandmanipulationofawidevariety of "data" and knowledge, and reason under uncertainty in the context of a knowledge-based economy and society. |
