This book embraces some scientific methods, innovations, and advanced technologies, which were widely examined, on machine-buildings and ship-repair plants. The main objective of this book is to provide engineers, technical personnel, and managers with some problems, which have place in the process of the production of machines and mechanisms, and to find the ways of solving them. In basis of this task were put such questions as increasing quality production and decreasing its cost. In this book these topics have been organized into three chapters: CHAPTER I presents the most important problems of any engineering industry-this is the decreasing of waste products (such as cast iron bronze, gr...
The two volume set LNAI 3801 and LNAI 3802 constitute the refereed proceedings of the annual International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Security, CIS 2005, held in Xi'an, China, in December 2005. The 338 revised papers presented - 254 regular and 84 extended papers - were carefully reviewed and selected from over 1800 submissions. The first volume is organized in topical sections on learning and fuzzy systems, evolutionary computation, intelligent agents and systems, intelligent information retrieval, support vector machines, swarm intelligence, data mining, pattern recognition, and applications. The second volume is subdivided in topical sections on cryptography and coding, cryptographic protocols, intrusion detection, security models and architecture, security management, watermarking and information hiding, web and network applications, image and signal processing, and applications.
For Ian Coutts it was a barrel full of beer he'd made himself. Not from a kit like most home brewers. Not from industrial malts and yeasts like most commercial brewers. No, from absolute scratch. That meant barley and hops he'd grown, yeast he'd captured in the wild and malt he'd made himself. The only additives were knowledge and history. His quest took him from farm field to craft brewery, from agricultural schools to historic theme parks in homespun Victorian clothing. He learned a lot, brewed a lot and drank a lot of beer, and overcame mishaps and misadventures, until ultimately he had it--the perfect keg.-- [P. 4 of cover.].
Wendy Austin has discovered that things don't always go as planned. She is unable to cross the border line back to Canada without being electrocuted to death. If any guard's catch her after the damage she has caused, she can guarantee that they'll kill her in a heartbeat. She now has to keep her friends safe, take down the government, and try to get back home to her family. But how can she keep everyone else alive when she's barely alive herself. Not only has she been hurt mentally, but her physical wounds are about to get the best of her. This is the most dangerous challenge she has yet to face. Everything just keeps getting more and more complicated. Will they make it out alive?
Collaborative Network Organizations (CNO) corresponds to a very active and steadily growing area. For instance, Virtual enterprises/Virtual Organizations (PVC) suggest new ways of work and put the emphasis on collaborative networks of human actors. Further to these main lines, other collaborative forms and patterns of collaborative behavior are emerging, not only in industry, but also in service sector, as well as governmental and non-government social organizations, e.g. the collaborative networks for rescue tasks in disaster situations, time bank organizations, etc. The concept of breeding environment is now understood as a fundamental entity to enable dynamic collaborative organizations.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Symposium on Abstraction, Reformulation, and Approximation, SARA 2005, held in Airth Castle, Scotland, UK in July 2005. The 17 revised full papers and 8 extended abstracts were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. Also included are 3 invited papers and 8 research summaries. All current aspects of abstraction, reformulation, and approximation in the context of human common-sense reasoning, problem solving, and efficiently reasoning in complex domains are addressed. Among the application fields of these techniques are automatic programming, constraint satisfaction, design, diagnosis, machine learning, search, planning, reasoning, game playing, scheduling, and theorem proving.
