Overview: Trotz zahlreicher, auch industrieller Anwendungen ist der Entwurf von wissensbasierten Systemen oder Expertensystemen noch immer kein Routineprozeß. Dieses Buch zeigt, wie Techniken des maschinellen Lernens Entwicklung, Aufbau und Einsatz solcher Systeme wesentlich unterstützen können. Über den bekannten "Flaschenhals" der Wissensakquisition hinausgehend werden insbesondere auch die Wartung und die Revision einer Wissensbasis behandelt..Für jede dieser Phasen des Lebenszyklus einer Wissensbasis werden spezifische Verfahren des maschninellen Lernens beschrieben und an repräsentativen

Overview: Research on alcohol-related consequences has traditionallyfocused mainly on health aspects of alcohol consumption or effectswhich can be more easily quantified or measured. It is evident thatalcohol has many consequences which can be characterised as `social‘in nature and which are not, or not only, medical and are directlyhealth-related. Such consequences include violence, crime, andpsychosocial factors. The increasing relevance of consequences ofalcohol consumption other than medical is also reflected in the secondEuropean Action Plan 2000-2004 of WHO, aiming at the preventionand r

Overview: Covering a wide range of modeling-driven domains: decisions, traffic, dynamical systems, physics.Motivated by concrete relevant scenarios, but not application-bound.Looking at modeling and simulation .This book provides an introduction to mathematical and computer-oriented modeling and to simulation as a universal methodology. It therefore addresses various model classes and their derivations. And it demonstrates the diversity of approaches that can be taken: be it discrete or continuous, deterministic or stochastic. A common underlying theme throughout the book are the means in whic

Overview: Die Freiheitliche Partei Österreichs wird aufgrund ihres im Parteienvergleich überdurchschnittlich hohen Männeranteils unter FunktionärInnen und WählerInnen häufig als ,Männerpartei‘ klassifiziert. Um der besonderen Attraktivität der FPÖ für Männer auf die Spur zu kommen, rekonstruiert die explorativ angelegte Studie freiheitliche Männlichkeitsdiskurse, sowohl in Parteimedien als auch anhand von Gruppendiskussionen mit Parteifunktionären. In theoretischer Hinsicht schließt sie damit die Lücke zur bereits fortgeschrittenen Diskussion über Frauen in der FPÖ. Da der insgesamt nur unzure
