The 2012 International Symposium on Management Intelligent Systems is believed to be the first international forum to present and discuss original, rigorous and significant contributions on Artificial Intelligence-based (AI) solutions—with a strong, practical logic and, preferably, with empirical applications—developed to aid the management of organizations in multiple areas, activities, processes and problem-solving; i.e., what we propose to be named as Management Intelligent Systems (MiS). The three-day event aimed to bring together researchers interested in this promising interdisciplinary field who came from areas as varied as management, marketing, and business in general, computer ...
This book is a collection of 45 accepted papers originally submitted for the 12th International Conference of the Catalan Association for Artificial Intelligence (ACIA). It also includes a brief summary of two papers from invited speakers. The Catalan Association for Artificial Intelligence was founded in 1994 with the aim of fostering cooperation among researchers from the Catalan-speaking AI research community. Collaboration between ACIA members and the wider international AI community has also been wel-established now for many years. The papers in these proceedings reflect this collaboration and include contributions not only from the Catalan-speaking regions of Spain, but also from France and Italy, and from as far afield as Mexico and Australia. Of al the fields in computer science, AI is the one most intertwined with all sorts of disciplines dealt with in the human experience, often employing lessons learnt in one discipline to implement a task in another. The papers in this volume reflect the rich iversity in AI, covering areas such as logics, natural language, machine learning, computer vision, robotics and multi-agent systems.

This book unveils the secrets of archer fish, covering everything from their morphology to their unique feeding techniques, digestion physiology, and reproductive intricacies. It serves as an essential resource for students, researchers, conservation biologists, and anyone curious about the biology of archer fish, as well as fish biology in general. Readers can immerse themselves in chapters that discuss identification techniques, age, and growth, feeding physiology, and much more. The book highlights the wonders of these remarkable creatures, helping readers gain a deeper understanding of the intricate realm of fish biology.
Ontology, originally a fundamental part of philosophical enquiry, is concerned with the analysis and categorization of what exists. The advent of complex information systems which rely on robust and coherent formal representations of their subject matter has led to a renewed focus on ontological enquiry, and the systematic study of such representations are at the center of the modern discipline of formal ontology. This is now a research focus in domains as diverse as conceptual modeling, database design, software engineering, artificial intelligence, computational linguistics, the life sciences, bioinformatics, geographic information science, knowledge engineering, information retrieval and ...
Emotion pervades human life in general, and human communication in particular, and this sets information technology a challenge. Traditionally, IT has focused on allowing people to accomplish practical tasks efficiently, setting emotion to one side. That was acceptable when technology was a small part of life, but as technology and life become increasingly interwoven we can no longer ask people to suspend their emotional nature and habits when they interact with technology. The European Commission funded a series of related research projects on emotion and computing, culminating in the HUMAINE project which brought together leading academic researchers from the many related disciplines. This...
Coastal transitional ecosystems include a wide range of morphological features—i.e., lagoons, wetlands, estuaries, deltas, and so on. According to the Ramsar Convention, “they are among the most diverse and productive ecosystems” and are continually “degraded and converted to other uses”. To protect and restore these highly valuable ecosystems, knowledge of their processes and the assessment of their ecological conditions under anthropogenic pressures is of fundamental importance. The present book contains eight original research papers and a review that provide useful tools to understand the structure and function of transitional waters worldwide. The results allow us to assess th...
Deep learning has been used with great success in a number of diverse applications, ranging from image processing to game playing, and the fast progress of this learning paradigm has even been seen as paving the way towards general artificial intelligence. However, the current deep learning models are still principally limited in many ways. This book, ‘Deep Learning with Relational Logic Representations’, addresses the limited expressiveness of the common tensor-based learning representation used in standard deep learning, by generalizing it to relational representations based in mathematical logic. This is the natural formalism for the relational data omnipresent in the interlinked stru...
