Computational Intelligence for Technology Enhanced Learning
E-Learning has become one of the most wide spread ways of distance teaching and learning. Technologies such as Web, Grid, and Mobile and Wireless networks are pushing teaching and learning communities to find new and intelligent ways of using these technologies to enhance teaching and learning activities. Indeed, these new technologies can play an important role in increasing the support to teachers and learners, to shorten the time to learning and teaching; yet, it is necessary to use intelligent techniques to take advantage of these new technologies to achieve the desired support to teachers and learners and enhance learners’ performance in distributed learning environments. The chapters...
Ethics in Online AI-Based Systems
Recent technological advancements have deeply transformed society and the way people interact with each other. Instantaneous communication platforms have allowed connections with other people, forming global communities, and creating unprecedented opportunities in many sectors, making access to online resources more ubiquitous by reducing limitations imposed by geographical distance and temporal constrains. These technological developments bear ethically relevant consequences with their deployment, and legislations often lag behind such advancements. Because the appearance and deployment of these technologies happen much faster than legislative procedures, the way these technologies affect s...
On the Move to Meaningful Internet Systems 2005
This book constitutes the joint refereed proceedings of nine international workshops held as part of OTM 2005 in Agia Napa, Cyprus in October/November 2005.The 145 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 268 submissions. Topics addressed are agents, Web services and ontologies merging (AWeSOMe 2005), context-aware mobile systems (CAMS 2005), grid computing and its application to data analysis (GADA 2005), inter-organizational systems and interoperability of enterprise software and applications (MIOS+INTEROP 2005), object-role modeling (ORM 2005), a PHD symposium (PhDS 2005), semantic-based geographical information systems (SeBGIS 2005), Web semantics (SWWS 2005), and ontologies, semantics and e-learning (WOSE 2005).
Context-Aware Ranking with Factorization Models
Context-aware ranking is an important task with many applications. E.g. in recommender systems items (products, movies, ...) and for search engines webpages should be ranked. In all these applications, the ranking is not global (i.e. always the same) but depends on the context. Simple examples for context are the user for recommender systems and the query for search engines. More complicated context includes time, last actions, etc. The major problem is that typically the variable domains (e.g. customers, products) are categorical and huge, the observations are very sparse and only positive events are observed. In this book, a generic method for context-aware ranking as well as its applicati...
Recent Advances in Nonlinear Dynamics and Synchronization
The selected contributions of this book shed light on a series of interesting aspects related to nonlinear dynamics and synchronization with the aim of demonstrating some of their interesting applications in a series of selected disciplines. This book contains thirteenth chapters which are organized around five main parts. The first part (containing five chapters) does focus on theoretical aspects and recent trends of nonlinear dynamics and synchronization. The second part (two chapters) presents some modeling and simulation issues through concrete application examples. The third part (two chapters) is focused on the application of nonlinear dynamics and synchronization in transportation. The fourth part (two chapters) presents some applications of synchronization in security-related system concepts. The fifth part (two chapters) considers further applications areas, i.e. pattern recognition and communication engineering.
Advances in Intelligent Information Systems
Intelligent Information Systems (IIS) can be defined as the next generation of Information Systems (IS) developed as a result of integration of AI and database (DB) technologies. IIS embody knowledge that allows them to exhibit intelligent behavior, allows them to cooperate with users and other systems in problem solving, discovery, retrieval, and manipulation of data and knowledge. For any IIS to serve its purpose, the information must be available when it is needed. This means that the computing systems used to store data and process the information, and the security controls used to protect it must be functioning correctly. This book covers some of the above topics and it is divided into four sections: Classification, Approximation and Data Security, Knowledge Management, and Application of IIS to medical and music domains.

Political Essay on the Island of Cuba
The research Alexander von Humboldt amassed during his five-year trek through the Americas in the early 19th century proved foundational to the fields of botany and geology. But his visit to Cuba yielded observations that extended far beyond the natural world. This title presents a physical and cultural study of the island nation.
