Mathematics is becoming increasingly collaborative, but software does not sufficiently support that: Social Web applications do not currently make mathematical knowledge accessible to automated agents that have a deeper understanding of mathematical structures. Such agents exist but focus on individual research tasks, such as authoring, publishing, peer-review, or verification, instead of complex collaboration workflows. This work effectively enables their integration by bridging the document-oriented perspective of mathematical authoring and publishing, and the network perspective of threaded discussions and Web information retrieval. This is achieved by giving existing representations of m...
The mathematical theory and practice of cryptography and coding underpins the provision of effective security and reliability for data communication, processing, and storage. Theoretical and implementational advances in the fields of cryptography and coding are therefore a key factor in facilitating the growth of data communications and data networks of various types. Thus, this Eight International Conference in an established and successful IMA series on the theme of “Cryptography and Coding” was both timely and relevant. The theme of this conference was the future of coding and cryptography, which was touched upon in presentations by a number of invited speakers and researchers. The pa...
As computers and communications technology advance, greater opportunities arise for intelligent mathematical computation. While computer algebra, au- mated deduction and mathematical publishing each have long and successful histories, we are now seeing increasing opportunities for synergy among them. The Conferences on Intelligent Computer Mathematics (cicm 2009) is a c- lection of co-located meetings, allowing researchers and practitioners active in these related areas to share recent results and identify the next challenges. The speci?c areas of the cicm conferences and workshops are described below, but the unifying theme is the computerized handling of mathematical knowledge. The success...
This book constitutes the joint refereed proceedings of Calculemus 2014, Digital Mathematics Libraries, DML 2014, Mathematical Knowledge Management, MKM 2014 and Systems and Projects, S&P 2014, held in Coimbra, Portugal, during July 7-11, 2014 as four tracks of CICM 2014, the Conferences on Intelligent Computer Mathematics. The 26 full papers and 9 Systems and Projects descriptions presented together with 5 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 55 submissions. The Calculemus track of CICM examines the integration of symbolic computation and mechanized reasoning. The Digital Mathematics Libraries track - evolved from the DML workshop series - features math-aware technologies, standards, algorithms and processes towards the fulfillment of the dream of a global DML. The Mathematical Knowledge Management track of CICM is concerned with all aspects of managing mathematical knowledge in the informal, semi-formal and formal settings. The Systems and Projects track presents short descriptions of existing systems or on-going projects in the areas of all the other tracks of the conference.
Model development is of vital importance for understanding and management of ecological processes. Identifying the complex relationships between ecological patterns and processes is a crucial task. Ecological modelling—both qualitatively and quantitatively—plays a vital role in analysing ecological phenomena and for ecological theory. This textbook provides a unique overview of modelling approaches. Representing the state-of-the-art in modern ecology, it shows how to construct and work with various different model types. It introduces the background of each approach and its application in ecology. Differential equations, matrix approaches, individual-based models and many other relevant modelling techniques are explained and demonstrated with their use. The authors provide links to software tools and course materials. With chapters written by leading specialists, “Modelling Complex Ecological Dynamics” is an essential contribution to expand the qualification of students, teachers and scientists alike.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Semantic Web Collaborative Spaces, SWCS 2013, held in Montpellier, France, in May 2013, and the Third International Workshop on Semantic Web Collaborative Spaces, SWCS 2014, held in Trentino, Italy, in October 2014. The 6 revised extended papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 10 submissions. The papers are grouped in topical sections on challenges in collaborative spaces, modeling collaborative communities and the role of semantics, semantic MediaWiki communities, and exploiting semantics in collaborative spaces.
The books (LNCS 6643 and 6644) constitute the refereed proceedings of the 8th European Semantic Web Conference, ESWC 2011, held in Heraklion, Crete, Greece, in May/June 2011. The 57 revised full papers of the research track presented together with 7 PhD symposium papers and 14 demo papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 291 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on digital libraries track; inductive and probabilistic approaches track; linked open data track; mobile web track; natural language processing track; ontologies track; and reasoning track (part I); semantic data management track; semantic web in use track; sensor web track; software, services, processes and cloud computing track; social web and web science track; demo track, PhD symposium (part II).
This book constitutes the joint refereed proceedings of three international events, namely the 18th Symposium on the Integration of Symbolic Computation and Mechanized Reasoning, Calculemus 2011, the 10th International Conference on Mathematical Knowledge Management, MKM 2011, and a new track on Systems and Projects descriptions that span both the Calculemus and MKM topics, all held in Bertinoro, Italy, in July 2011. All 51 submissions passed through a rigorous review process. A total of 15 papers were submitted to Calculemus, of which 9 were accepted. Systems and Projects track 2011 there have been 12 papers selected out of 14 submissions while MKM 2011 received 22 submissions, of which 9 were accepted for presentation and publication. The events focused on the use of AI techniques within symbolic computation and the application of symbolic computation to AI problem solving; the combination of computer algebra systems and automated deduction systems; and mathematical knowledge management, respectively.
As the healthcare industry continues to expand, it must utilize technology to ensure efficiencies are maintained. Healthcare needs to move in a direction where computational methods and algorithms can relieve the routine work of medical doctors, leaving them more time to carry out more important and skilled tasks such as surgery. Computational Methods and Algorithms for Medicine and Optimized Clinical Practice discusses some of the most interesting aspects of theoretical and applied research covering complementary facets of computational methods and algorithms to achieve greater efficiency and support medical personnel. Featuring research on topics such as healthcare reform, artificial intelligence, and disease detection, this book will particularly appeal to medical professionals and practitioners, hospitals, administrators, students, researchers, and academicians.
