What remains of the “national” when the nation unravels at the birth of the independent state? The political truncation of India at the end of British colonial rule in 1947 led to a social cataclysm in which roughly one million people died and ten to twelve million were displaced. Combining film studies, trauma theory, and South Asian cultural history, Bhaskar Sarkar follows the shifting traces of this event in Indian cinema over the next six decades. He argues that Partition remains a wound in the collective psyche of South Asia and that its representation on screen enables forms of historical engagement that are largely opaque to standard historiography. Sarkar tracks the initial retic...
This book covers recent advances in electronic commerce research activities. It aims to encourage activities in this field, and to serve researchers with an interest in electronic commerce. This book is edited from some aspects of e-commerce researches including theoretical mechanism design of trading based on auctions, allocation mechanism based on negotiation among multi-agent, case-study and analysis of e-trading, data engineering issues in e-commerce, and so on.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Pattern Recognition and Machine Intelligence, PReMI 2011, held in Moscow, Russia in June/July 2011. The 65 revised papers presented together with 5 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 140 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on pattern recognition and machine learning; image analysis; image and video information retrieval; natural language processing and text and data mining; watermarking, steganography and biometrics; soft computing and applications; clustering and network analysis; bio and chemo analysis; and document image processing.
The two volume set CCIS 775 and 776 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Conference on Computational Intelligence, Communications, and Business Analytics, CICBA 2017, held in Kolkata, India, in March 2017. The 90 revised full papers presented in the two volumes were carefully reviewed and selected from 276 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on data science and advanced data analytics; signal processing and communications; microelectronics, sensors, intelligent networks; computational forensics (privacy and security); computational intelligence in bio-computing; computational intelligence in mobile and quantum computing; intelligent data mining and data warehousing; computational intelligence.
This book contains the latest research on intelligent holonic execution. It presents a conceptual model for Holonic Manufacturing Execution that draws together research threads from both holonics and multi-agent systems. The book presents the model by mapping it onto two current BDI programming frameworks, and uses this for two separate implementations of an execution system for an industrial strength robotic assembly cell. This work also introduces the Team Programming paradigm.
Optimization problems are of great importance across a broad range of fields. They can be tackled, for example, by approximate algorithms such as metaheuristics. This book is intended both to provide an overview of hybrid metaheuristics to novices of the field, and to provide researchers from the field with a collection of some of the most interesting recent developments. The authors involved in this book are among the top researchers in their domain.
This book contains papers presented at the International Symposium on Elect- magnetic Fields in Mechatronics, Electrical and Electronic Engineering ISEF’07 which was held in Prague, the Czech Republic, from September 13 to 15, 2007. ISEF conferences have been organized since 1985 and from the very beginning it was a common initiative of Polish and other European researchers who have dealt with electromagnetic ?eld in electrical engineering. The conference travels through Europe and is organized in various academic centres. Relatively often, it was held in some Polish city as the initiative was on the part of Polish scientists. Now ISEF is much more international and successive events take ...
Natural Computing in Computational Finance is a innovative volume containing fifteen chapters which illustrate cutting-edge applications of natural computing or agent-based modeling in modern computational finance. Following an introductory chapter the book is organized into three sections. The first section deals with optimization applications of natural computing demonstrating the application of a broad range of algorithms including, genetic algorithms, differential evolution, evolution strategies, quantum-inspired evolutionary algorithms and bacterial foraging algorithms to multiple financial applications including portfolio optimization, fund allocation and asset pricing. The second sect...
Environmental information and systems play a major role in environmental decision making. As such, it is vital to understand the impact that they have on different aspects of sustainable environmental management, as well as to understand the opportunism they might present for further improvement. Environmental Information Systems: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications is an innovative reference source containing the latest research on the use of information systems to track and organize environmental data for use in an overall environmental management system. Highlighting a range of topics such as environmental analysis, remote sensing, and geographic information science, this multi-volume book is designed for engineers, data scientists, practitioners, academicians, and researchers interested in all aspects of environmental information systems.
