Computers : Artificial Intelligence

This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Workshop on Fuzzy Logic and Applications held in Camogli, Genoa, Italy in July 2007. The 84 revised full papers presented together with 3 keynote speeches were carefully reviewed and selected from 147 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on fuzzy set theory, fuzzy information access and retrieval, fuzzy machine learning, fuzzy architectures and systems; and special sessions on intuitionistic fuzzy sets and soft computing in image processing. WILF 2007 hosts four special sessions, namely the Fourth International Meeting on Computational Intelligence Methods for Bioinformatics and Biostatistics (CIDD 2007), the Third International Workshop on Cross-Language Information Processing (CLIP 2007); Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets: Recent Advances (IFS), and Soft Computing in Image Processing (CLIPS). These special sessions extend and deepen the main topics of WILF. more...

FLINS, originally an acronym for “Fuzzy Logic and Intelligent technologies in Nuclear Science”, has now been extended to include computational intelligent systems for applied research. FLINS 2004, is the sixth in a series of international conferences, covers state-of-the-art research and development in applied computational intelligence for applied research in general and for power/nuclear engineering in particular. This book presents the latest research trends and future research directions in the field. The proceedings have been selected for coverage in:. • Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings® (ISTP / ISI Proceedings). • Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings (ISTP CDROM version / ISI Proceedings). • CC Proceedings — Engineering & Physical Sciences. more...

The wholesale capture and distribution of knowledge over the last thirty years has created an unprecedented need for organizations to manage their knowledge assets. Knowledge Management (KM) addresses this need by helping an organization to leverage its information resources and knowledge assets by "remembering" and applying its experience. KM involves the acquisition, storage, retrieval, application, generation, and review of the knowledge assets of an organization in a controlled way. Today, organizations are applying KM throughout their systems, from information management to marketing to human resources. Applying Knowledge Management: Techniques for Building Corporate Memories examines why case-based reasoning (CBR) is so well suited for KM. CBR can be used to adapt solutions originally designed to solve problems in the past, to address new problems faced by the organization. This book clearly demonstrates how CBR can be successfully applied to KM problems by presenting several in-depth case-studies. Ian Watson, a well-known researcher in case-based reasoning and author of the introductory book, Applying CBR: Techniques for Enterprise Systems has written this book specifically for IT managers and knowledge management system developers. more...

Few scientific topics since the theory of biological evolution have inspired as much controversy as artificial intelligence has. Even now, fifty years after the term first made its appearance in academic journals, many philosophers and more than a few prominent scientists and software programmers dismiss the pursuit of thinking machines as the modern-day equivalent of medieval alchemists’ hunt for the philosopher’s stone-a pursuit based more on faith than on skeptical inquiry. more...
