Overview: Absent Narratives is a book about the defining difference between medieval and modern stories. In chapters devoted to the major writers of the late medieval period - Chaucer, Gower, the Gawain -poet and Malory - it presents and then analyzes a set of unique and unnoticed phenomena in medieval narrative, namely the persistent appearance of missing stories: stories implied, alluded to, or fragmented by a larger narrative. Far from being trivial digressions or passing curiosities, these absent narratives prove central to the way these medieval works function and to why they have affecte

Overview: The Center for Intelligent Information Retrieval (CIIR) was formed in the Computer Science Department ofthe University ofMassachusetts, Amherst in 1992. The core support for the Center came from a National Science Foun- tion State/Industry/University Cooperative Research Center(S/IUCRC) grant, although there had been a sizeable information retrieval (IR) research group for over 10 years prior to that grant. Thebasic goal ofthese Centers is to combine basic research, applied research, and technology transfer. The CIIR has been successful in each of these areas, in that it has produced

Overview: Presents how symmetries can be used in all classes of algorithmic problems of sciences and engineering.Shows how the symmetry-based approach can be used in the analysis of real-life systems, from pred.This book demonstrates how to describe and analyze a system‘s behavior and extract the desired prediction and control algorithms from this analysis. A typical prediction is based on observing similar situations in the past, knowing the outcomes of these past situations, and expecting that the future outcome of the current situation will be similar to these past observed outcomes. In mat

Overview: Arti?cial immune systems (AIS) is a diverse and maturing area of research that bridges the disciplines of immunology and engineering. The scope of AIS ranges fromimmune-inspiredalgorithmsandengineeringsolutionsinsoftwareandha- ware, to the understanding of immunology through modeling and simulation of immune system concepts. AIS algorithms have been applied to a wide variety of applications, including computer security, fault tolerance, data mining and optimization. In addition, theoretical aspects of arti?cial and real immune s- tems have been the subject of mathematical and computa

Overview: Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by the Université libre de Bruxelles, Belgium.Provides a thorough introduction to reservoir computing and field-programmable gate arrays.Discusses the problemsThis book lies at the interface of machine learning – a subfield of computer science that develops algorithms for challenging tasks such as shape or image recognition, where traditional algorithms fail – and photonics – the physical science of light, which underlies many of the optical communications technologies used in our information society. It provides a thorough introduction to res

Overview: Explores the concepts of Artificial Psychology and Artificial Neuroscience as applied to advanced artificially cognitive systems.Provides insight into the world of cognitive architectures and biologicThis book explores the subject of artificial psychology and how the field must adapt human neuro-psychological testing techniques to provide adequate cognitive testing of advanced artificial intelligence systems. It shows how classical testing methods will reveal nothing about the cognitive nature of the systems and whether they are learning, reasoning, and evolving correctly; for these

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .The accretion process is thought to play a key role in the Universe. This book explains, in a form intelligible to graduate students, its relation to the formation of new stars, to the energy release in compact objects and to the formation of black holes. The monograph describes how accretion processes are related to the presence of jets in stellar objects and active galactic nuclei and to jet formation. The authors treat theoretical work as well as current observational facts. This volume of the highly esteemed Les Houches series is meant as an adva

Overview: Presents resource management in the context of complex work systems.Opens up a diverse range of fields for decision-making.Provides a scientific model to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of reThis book develops and assesses a decision-making model for resource management in complex work systems in line with the “Systems Engineering” method. It applies the Balanced Scorecard to the development of the criteria system for decision-making, and employs fuzzy linguistics theory to evaluate the alternatives. Further, the book assesses the application of this model in a hospital that

Overview: Einziges Buch zum ThemaLeistungsrückgang, allgemeine Erschöpfung und eine starke Abneigung gegenüber der einst geliebten Arbeit - das sind Symptome von Burnout, die häufig bei Journalisten beobachtet worden sind. Mehr als ein Fünftel der vom Autor Befragten leidet unter starkem Burnout. Sie sind körperlich, emotional und geistig erschöpft. Als Ursache kommt nicht zuletzt eine Diskrepanz zwischen beruflichen Idealen und journalistischer Praxis in Betracht. Vor allem aber der Spagat zwischen den Anforderungen des Berufes und dem Wunsch, Familie, Partner und Freunde nicht zu vernachläss
