    Book Synopsisand the building of the Three “M’s” Maple, Mathematica and Matlab. We intend to persuade that Maple and other like tools are worth knowing assuming only that one wishes to be a mathematician, a mathematics educator, a computer scientist, an engineer or scientist, or anyone else who wishes/needs to use mathematics better.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:“This book is intended to teach the reader the usage of the computer algebra system Maple. … The book is readable and valuable to mathematics, science, and engineering undergraduates at the sophomore or above level. It could also be valuable to practitioners in those fields who want to learn Maple in situ. … Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through graduate students; professionals.” (D. Z. Spicer, Choice, Vol. 49 (5), January, 2012)“This is a Maple-application book which illustrates some basic areas of mathematics by symbolic computation examples. … The presentation is clear with all necessary details and comments for ensuring a full understanding of the considered examples. The intended beneficiaries are undergraduate students, teachers giving courses to undergraduate students, as well as programmers interested in using Maple for several classes of mathematical problems.” (Octavian Pastravanu, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1228, 2012)“In An Introduction to Modern Mathematical Computing with Maple, Borwein and Skerritt show that computers are an excellent companion for learning mathematics. … The theme of the book is that Maple can supplement mathematics learning and, what is more, can do much of the mathematics for the students. … The temptation is tremendous for students to skip the real work to have a true understanding of mathematics.” (David S. Mazel, The Mathematical Association of America, June, 2012)Table of Contents-Preface. -Conventions and Notation.-1. Number Theory (Introduction to Maple, Putting it together, Enough code, already.

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe classic text on robot manipulators now covers visual control, motion planning and mobile robots too!Based on the successful Modelling and Control of Robot Manipulators by Sciavicco and Siciliano (Springer, 2000), Robotics provides the basic know-how on the foundations of robotics: modelling, planning and control. It has been expanded to include coverage of mobile robots, visual control and motion planning. A variety of problems is raised throughout, and the proper tools to find engineering-oriented solutions are introduced and explained.The text includes coverage of fundamental topics like kinematics, and trajectory planning and related technological aspects including actuators and sensors.To impart practical skill, examples and case studies are carefully worked out and interwoven through the text, with frequent resort to simulation. In addition, end-of-chapter exercises are proposed, and the book is accompanied by an electronic solutions manual containing the MATLAB® code for computer problems; this is available free of charge to those adopting this volume as a textbook for courses.Trade ReviewRobotics: Modelling, Planning and Control is a book that comprehensively covers all aspects of robotic fundamentals. It is particularly an excellent text for graduate educators, as it covers the fundamentals of the field with a rigorous formalism that is well blended with the technological aspects of robotics. The text covers in detail the theory of manipulators and wheeled robots starting with kinematics, dynamics and motion control, as well interaction with the environment through perception - force and vision sensors. The book is written by technical authorities in the field, and will be in invaluable addition to graduate education as well as a useful guide for industrial practitioners. Alexander Zelinsky, CSIRO, Australia Robotics is a diverse field bringing together disparate areas from computer science, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. This book is an integrative but rigorous treatment of all the relevant concepts, with an eye toward modern, practical applications making it an excellent choice for a first year graduate course in robotics. Vijay Kumar, University of Pennsylvania This book provides rock-solid foundations for the study of classical mechanics and control of robots, with the authoritative character of a reference where you can surely find the correct expression and the rigorous derivation of the results you need. On top of this, new chapters on motion planning, visual servoing, and mobile robot control provide support to teaching wider and more interdisciplinary aspects of robotics, and open up vistas that will certainly inspire a new generation of scholars to embrace this incredibly rich and fertile research field. Antonio Bicchi, University of Pisa, Italy This book offers a well-balanced and intellectually satisfying treatment of robot mechanics, planning, and control – from the choice and sequence of topics, to the level of detail in the analysis, and the clear connections made between the latest technologies and the theoretical foundations of robotics, this book is an essential element in the library of every aspiring young robotics researcher. Frank Chongwoo Park, Seoul National University Robotics: Modeling, Planning and Control is a historiography from the materialistic view of robotics. Authors clearly explain physical and mathematical foundation to understand the most up-to-date robotics, so faithfully to bibliography and terminology in robotics. Unquestionably, the best textbook for senior students and graduate students and the closest reference book for engineers and scientists! Yoshihiko Nakamura, University of Tokyo Exceptional! A text with such a span of robotics fundamentals and advanced research in both manipulation and mobility, and a treatment that creatively balances mathematical depth and physical intuition – a fresh and certainly unique reference for researchers and engineers in the field of robotics. Oussama Khatib, Stanford University Certainly because of its youth, robotics is not always considered as a discipline as such. It is often introduced as a technological "area" integrating various aspects of mechanics, automatic control and computer science. Such a dispersed view is prejudicial for students. The book by Siciliano et al. achieves the introduction of the basic concepts in a coherent, self-contained and didactic way. In that sense, when reading Robotics: Modelling, Planning and Control the reader – from the undergraduate student to the researcher – understands that a new discipline is born, with its own foundations.

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisAISB91 is the eighth conference organized by the Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and Simulation of Behaviour. It is not only the oldest regular conference in Europe on AI - which spawned the ECAI conferences in 1982 - but it is also the conference that has a tradition for focusing on research as opposed to applications. The 1991 edition of the conference was no different in this respect. On the contrary, research, and particularly newly emerging research dir­ ections such as knowledge level expert systems research, neural networks and emergent functionality in autonomous agents, was strongly emphasised. The conference was organized around the following sessions: dis­ tributed intelligent agents, situatedness and emergence in autonomous agents, new modes of reasoning, the knowledge level perspective, and theorem proving and machine learning. Each of these sessions is discussed below in more detail. DISTRIBUTED INTELLIGENT AGENTS Research in distributed AI is concerned with the problem of how multiple agents and societies of agents can be organized to co-operate and collectively solve a problem. The first paper by Chakravarty (MIT) focuses on the problem of evolving agents in the context of Minsky's society of mind theory. It addesses the question of how new agents can be formed by transforming existing ones and illustrates the theory with an example from game playing. Smieja (GMD, Germany) focuses on the problem of organizing networks of agents which consist internally of neural networks.Table of ContentsDistributed Intelligent Agents.- Deriving Transformers from Knowledge Organized as a Society of Agents.- Multiple Network Systems (MINOS) Modules: Task Division and Module Discrimination.- Commitments and Projects.- RR - An Intelligent Resource-Bounded Reasoner.- Situatedness and Emergence in Autonomous Agents.- A Cognitive Model of Goal-oriented Automatisms and Breakdowns.- The ‘Logical Omniscience’ of Reactive Systems.- A Connectionist Semantics for Spatial Descriptions.- Neural Networks and Visual Behaviour: Flies, Panned Eyes, and Statistics.- Specifying Complex Behaviour for Computer Agents.- New Modes of Reasoning.- Integrating Neural Network and Expert Reasoning: An Example.- An Architecture for Selective Forgetting.- Constraint Propagation in Qualitative Modelling: Domain Variables Improve Diagnostic Efficiency.- Recursive Plans.- The Knowledge Level Perspective.- Task Centered Representation for Expert Systems at the Knowledge Level.- Knowledgeable knowledge acquisition.- Formalization of the KADS Interpretation Models.- Qualitative Models for Simulation and Control of Dynamic Systems.- Tractable Rationality at the Knowledge Level.- On Problems with the Knowledge Level Perspective.- Theorem Proving.- Using Abstraction.- Sound Substitution into Modal Contexts.- Machine Learning.- Modelling Representations of Device Knowledge in SOAR.- Instance-Based and Generalization-Based Learning Procedures Applied to Solving Integration Problems.

    Book SynopsisNeural networks are a computing paradigm that is finding increasing attention among computer scientists. In this book, theoretical laws and models previously scattered in the literature are brought together into a general theory of artificial neural nets. Always with a view to biology and starting with the simplest nets, it is shown how the properties of models change when more general computing elements and net topologies are introduced. Each chapter contains examples, numerous illustrations, and a bibliography. The book is aimed at readers who seek an overview of the field or who wish to deepen their knowledge. It is suitable as a basis for university courses in neurocomputing.Trade Review"If you want a systematic and thorough overview of neural networks, need a good reference book on this subject, or are giving or taking a course on neural networks, this book is for you."

    Book SynopsisComputational Creativity, Concept Invention, and General Intelligence in their own right all are flourishing research disciplines producing surprising and captivating results that continuously influence and change our view on where the limits of intelligent machines lie, each day pushing the boundaries a bit further. By 2014, all three fields also have left their marks on everyday life – machine-composed music has been performed in concert halls, automated theorem provers are accepted tools in enterprises’ R&D departments, and cognitive architectures are being integrated in pilot assistance systems for next generation airplanes. Still, although the corresponding aims and goals are clearly similar (as are the common methods and approaches), the developments in each of these areas have happened mostly individually within the respective community and without closer relationships to the goings-on in the other two disciplines. In order to overcome this gap and to provide a common platform for interaction and exchange between the different directions, the International Workshops on “Computational Creativity, Concept Invention, and General Intelligence” (C3GI) have been started. At ECAI-2012 and IJCAI-2013, the first and second edition of C3GI each gathered researchers from all three fields, presenting recent developments and results from their research and in dialogue and joint debates bridging the disciplinary boundaries. The chapters contained in this book are based on expanded versions of accepted contributions to the workshops and additional selected contributions by renowned researchers in the relevant fields. Individually, they give an account of the state-of-the-art in their respective area, discussing both, theoretical approaches as well as implemented systems. When taken together and looked at from an integrative perspective, the book in its totality offers a starting point for a (re)integration of Computational Creativity, Concept Invention, and General Intelligence, making visible common lines of work and theoretical underpinnings, and pointing at chances and opportunities arising from the interplay of the three fields.Table of ContentsStakeholder Groups in Computational Creativity Research and Practice.- Weak and Strong Computational Creativity.- Theorem: General intelligence entails creativity, assuming.- The Computational Creativity Complex.- How Models of Creativity and Analogy Need to Answer the Tailorability Concern.- On the role of computers in creativity-support systems.- A computational theory of creativity as everyday reasoning from learned information.- Accounting for creativity within a psychologically realistic cognitive architecture.- E pluribus unum - Formalisation, Use-Cases, and Computational Support for Conceptual Blending.- Creating Meaningful and Poetic Instances of Rhetorical Forms.- Open-Ended Elaborations in Creative Metaphor.- Poetry generation with PoeTryMe.- From MEXICA to MEXICA-impro: the Evolution of a Computer Model for Plot Generation.- Handle: Engineering Artificial Musical Creativity at the "Trickery" Level.- A Culinary Computational Creativity System.- Interactive Meta-Reasoning: Toward a CAD-like environment for designing game-playing agents.- Collective Discovery Events: Web-based Mathematical Problem-solving with Codelets.- A Personal Perspective Into the Future for Computational Creativity.
