This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th Congress of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence, AI*IA 2005, held in Milan, Italy in September 2005. The 46 revised full papers presented together with 16 revised short papers were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers are organized in topical sections on either theoretical research with results and proposals, improvements and consolidations, or on applications as there are systems and prototypes, case studies and proposals. Within this classification some of the main classical topics of AI are presented (agents, knowledge representation, machine learning, planning, robotics, natural language, etc.), but here the focus is on the ability of AI computational approaches to face challenging problems and to propose innovative solutions.
The papers in this volume comprise the refereed proceedings of the conference ‘ Artificial Intelligence in Theory and Practice’ (IFIP AI 2008), which formed part of the 20th World Computer Congress of IFIP, the International Federation for Information Processing (WCC-2008), in Milan, Italy in September 2008. The conference is organised by the IFIP Technical Committee on Artificial Intelligence (Technical Committee 12) and its Working Group 12.5 (Artificial Intelligence Applications). All papers were reviewed by at least two members of our Program Committee. Final decisions were made by the Executive Program Committee, which comprised John Debenham (University of Technology, Sydney, Austr...
The excellently received call for papers of the 13th Scandinavian Conference on Image Analysis, June 29-July 2 (SCIA 2003) resulted in the selected articles of this proceedings. Additionally the volume also contains invited contributions from - Ivar Austvoll, Stavanger University College (NO), - Lars B? a? ath, Halmstad University (SE), - Ewert Bengtsson, Uppsala University (SE), - Rasmus Larsen, Technical University of Denmark (DK), - Jussi Parkkinen, University of Joensuu (FI), - Pietro Perona, California Institute of Technology (US) which brings the total number of articles to 152. The theme of the papers are dominated by the categories - Feature extraction - Depth and surface - Medical image processing - Shape analysis - Segmentation and spatial grouping - Coding and representation - Motion analysis - Texture analysis - Color analysis - Indexing and categorization which also represent the topical groupings of this book. The particularly strong response to the feature extraction, depth and surface, and medical image processing themes makes us believe that these areas are c- rently expansive, partly because of the rich set of problems which remain to be addressed.
The importance of research and education in design continues to grow. For example, government agencies are gradually increasing funding of design research, and increasing numbers of engineering schools are revising their curricula to emphasize design. This is because of an increasing realization that design is part of the wealth creation of a nation and needs to be better understood and taught. The continuing globalization of industry and trade has required nations to re-examine where their core contributions lie if not in production efficiency. Design is a precursor to manufacturing for phy- cal objects and is the precursor to implementation for virtual objects. At the same time, the need f...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th IMA International Conference on the Mathematics of Surfaces, held in Leeds, UK in September 2003. The 25 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. Among the topics addressed are triangulated surface parameterization, bifurcation structures, control vertex computation, polyhedral surfaces, watermarking 3D polygonal meshed, subdivision surfaces, surface reconstruction, vector transport, shape from shading, surface height recovery, algebraic surfaces, box splines, the Plateau-Bezier problem, spline geometry, generative geometry, manifold representation, affine arithmetic, and PDE surfaces.
This book constitutes the refereed post proceedings of the 16th Research Conference on Metadata and Semantic Research, MTSR 2022, held in London, UK, during November 7–11, 2022. The 21 full papers and 4 short papers included in this book were carefully reviewed andselected from 79 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: metadata, linked data, semantics and ontologies - general session, and track on Knowledge IT Artifacts (KITA), Track on digital humanities and digital curation, and track on cultural collections and applications, track on digital libraries, information retrieval, big, linked, social & open data, and metadata, linked data, semantics and ontologies - general session, track on agriculture, food & environment, and metadata, linked Data, semantics and ontologies - general, track on open repositories, research information systems & data infrastructures, and metadata, linked data, semantics and ontologies - general, metadata, linked data, semantics and ontologies - general session, and track on european and national projects.
This book contains the revised and extended versions of selected papers from the 14th International Conference on Agents and Artificial Intelligence, ICAART 2022, which took place virtually during February 3–5, 2022. The conference was originally planned to take place in Vienna, Austria, but had to change to an online format due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 9 full papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 302 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: agents; artificial intelligence.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th Metadata and Semantics Research Conference, MTSR 2014, held in Karlsruhe, Germany, in November 2014. The 23 full papers and 9 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 57 submissions. The papers are organized in several sessions and tracks. They cover the following topics: metadata and linked data: tools and models; (meta) data quality assessment and curation; semantic interoperability, ontology-based data access and representation; big data and digital libraries in health, science and technology; metadata and semantics for open repositories, research information systems and data infrastructure; metadata and semantics for cultural collections and applications; semantics for agriculture, food and environment.
This volume features a collection of papers on emerging concepts, significant insights, novel approaches and ideas in information systems development (ISD). It examines and investigates up-and-coming trends in ISD in general, emphasizing the continuous collaboration between developers and operators to optimize the software delivery time. The book gathers selected papers from the 29th International Conference on Information Systems Development held at Universitat Politècnica de València, Spain, September 8-10, 2021. The theme of ISD2021 was “Crossing Boundaries between Development and Operations (DevOps) in Information Systems.” The revised and extended papers focus on the influences among information systems, organizational structures, processes and people from its conception to its operation. They examine methodological issues and ways in which the IS designers, developers and operators are transforming organisations and society through information systems.
The book contains 24 research articles related to the emerging research field of Communities and Technologies (C&T). The papers treat subjects such as online communities, communities of practice, Community support systems, Digital Cities, regional communities and the internet, knowledge sharing and communities, civil communities, communities and education and social capital. As a result of a very quality-oriented review process, the work reflects the best of current research and practice in the field of C&T.
