Publisher description
Metal Architecture
In recent years metal as a construction material has been experiencing a renaissance. Its diverse qualities and versatility mean that it is an ideal material for many different applications. Architecture and industry have also discovered its aesthetic qualities, using it to cover theatres, museums, and exhibition buildings with shimmering layers of copper and titanium. It has become an integral factor in creating intelligent architectural solutions which meet the requirements of clients, investors and architects. "Metal Architecture" documents some 21 international projects which show not only the creative elements but also the economic advantages of metal. Of particular note are the Drive-Inn Restaurant in Slovenia, loft apartments in Los Angeles, and the harbour control tower in Lisbon. The buildings are presented with numerous colour illustrations and detailed plans. The book concludes with technical information and practical details on using metal in planning and construction.
Learning Classifier Systems
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Learning Classifier Systems, IWLCS 2003, held in Granada, Spain in September 2003 in conjunction with PPSN VII. The 10 revised full papers presented together with a comprehensive bibliography on learning classifier systems were carefully reviewed and selected during two rounds of refereeing and improvement. All relevant issues in the area are addressed.
The Architecture Reference & Specification Book
Most architectural standards references contain thousands of pages of details—overwhelmingly more than architects need to know to know on any given day. The Architecture Reference & Specification Book contains vital information that's essential to planning and executing architectural projects of all shapes and sizes, in a format that is small enough to carry anywhere. It distills the data provided in standard architectural volumes and is an easy-to-use reference for the most indispensable—and most requested—types of architectural information.
Learning Classifier Systems
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed joint post-proceedings of three consecutive International Workshops on Learning Classifier Systems that took place in Chicago, IL in July 2003, in Seattle, WA in June 2004, and in Washington, DC in June 2005. Topics in the 22 revised full papers range from theoretical analysis of mechanisms to practical consideration for successful application of such techniques to everyday datamining tasks.
Advances in Learning Classifier Systems
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Learning Classifier Systems, IWLCS 2001, held in San Francisco, CA, USA, in July 2001. The 12 revised full papers presented together with a special paper on a formal description of ACS have gone through two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The first part of the book is devoted to theoretical issues of learning classifier systems including the influence of exploration strategy, self-adaptive classifier systems, and the use of classifier systems for social simulation. The second part is devoted to applications in various fields such as data mining, stock trading, and power distributionn networks.
Learning Classifier Systems
Learning Classifier Systems (LCS) are a machine learning paradigm introduced by John Holland in 1976. They are rule-based systems in which learning is viewed as a process of ongoing adaptation to a partially unknown environment through genetic algorithms and temporal difference learning. This book provides a unique survey of the current state of the art of LCS and highlights some of the most promising research directions. The first part presents various views of leading people on what learning classifier systems are. The second part is devoted to advanced topics of current interest, including alternative representations, methods for evaluating rule utility, and extensions to existing classifier system models. The final part is dedicated to promising applications in areas like data mining, medical data analysis, economic trading agents, aircraft maneuvering, and autonomous robotics. An appendix comprising 467 entries provides a comprehensive LCS bibliography.
Concrete Architecture
Many contemporary building projects use pliant and economical concrete as their main structural material yet its use requires technical expertise, knowledge and experience. This book analyses 12 projects which cover both the practical and aesthetic aspects of the subject.
Genetic and Evolutionary Computation — GECCO 2004
The two volume set LNCS 3102/3103 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference, GECCO 2004, held in Seattle, WA, USA, in June 2004. The 230 revised full papers and 104 poster papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 460 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on artificial life, adaptive behavior, agents, and ant colony optimization; artificial immune systems, biological applications; coevolution; evolutionary robotics; evolution strategies and evolutionary programming; evolvable hardware; genetic algorithms; genetic programming; learning classifier systems; real world applications; and search-based software engineering.
