Overview: Real-time computer systems are very often subject todependability requirements because of their application areas.Fly-by-wire airplane control systems, control of power plants,industrial process control systems and others are required to continuetheir function despite faults. Fault-tolerance and real-timerequirements thus constitute a kind of .natural. combination inprocess control applications. Systematic fault-tolerance is based onredundancy, which is used to mask failures of individual components.The problem of replica determinism is thereby to ensure thatreplicated components sho

Overview: Geleitwort Die Neuproduktentwicklung ist zweifellos ein komplexes Feld, das merken Praktiker aus verschiedenen Bereichen von Unternehmen gleichermaßen wie Theoretiker an. An den unt- schiedlichsten Stellen treten hierbei Probleme auf, wobei sich in der Unternehmenspraxis zeigt, dass es weniger an innovativen Ideen mangelt als an einer konsequenten Umsetzung und Kommerzialisierung dieser Ideen. Ein Stolperstein wirkt sich dabei in erster Linie negativ aus: Arbeitsweisen, die sich im Innovationsmanagement bewährt haben in das Routinema- gement, also vor allem eine fortwährende Kommerzi

Overview: This volume contains the elaborated and harmonized versions of seven lectures given at the first Advanced Course in Artificial Intelligence, held in Vignieu, France, in July 1985. Most of them were written in tutorial form; the book thus provides an extremely valuable guide to the fundamental aspects of AI. In the first part, Delgrande and Mylopoulos discuss the concept of knowledge and its representation. The second part is devoted to the processing of knowledge. The contribution by Huet shows that both computation and inference or deduction are just different aspects of the same ph

Overview: The present monograph intends to establish a solid link among three fields: fuzzy set theory, information retrieval, and cluster analysis. Fuzzy set theory supplies new concepts and methods for the other two fields, and provides a common frame­ work within which they can be reorganized. Four principal groups of readers are assumed: researchers or students who are interested in (a) application of fuzzy sets, (b) theory of information retrieval or bibliographic databases, (c) hierarchical clustering, and (d) application of methods in systems science. Readers in group (a) may notice tha
