Overview: Presents foundations and applications of semantic agent systems.Written by leading experts in this field.State-of-the-Art bookSemantic agent systems are about the integration of the semantic Web, software agents, and multi-agent systems technologies. Like in the past (e.g. biology and informatics yielding bioinformatics) a whole new perspective is emerging with semantic agent systems. In this context, the semantic Web is a Web of semantically linked data which aims to enable man and machine to execute tasks in tandem. Here, software agents in a multi-agent system as delegates of huma

Overview: Presents a comprehensive treatment of the biology, ecology and evolution of subterranean mammals.Forty authors, authorities in their field, from 12 different countries have contributed to the book.Sho.Across the globe, about 250 species of rodents spend most of their lives in safe and stable, but dark, oxygen-poor and carbon dioxide-rich burrows, deprived of most of the sensory cues available aboveground. They have become fully specialized for a unique way of life in which foraging and breeding take place underground. The systematic research into adaptations of subterranean dwellers

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .A graph complex is a finite family of graphs closed under deletion of edges. Graph complexes show up naturally in many different areas of mathematics, including commutative algebra, geometry, and knot theory. Identifying each graph with its edge set, one may view a graph complex as a simplicial complex and hence interpret it as a geometric object. This volume examines topological properties of graph complexes, focusing on homotopy type and homology...Many of the proofs are based on Robin Forman‘s discrete version of Morse theory. As a byproduct, this

Overview: .Scheduling in Parallel Computing Systems: Fuzzy andAnnealing. .Techniques. advocates the viability of using fuzzyand annealing methods in solving scheduling problems for parallelcomputing systems. The book proposes new techniques for both staticand dynamic scheduling, using emerging paradigms that are inspired bynatural phenomena such as fuzzy logic, mean-field annealing, andsimulated annealing. Systems that are designed using such techniquesare often referred to in the literature as `intelligent‘ because oftheir capability to adapt to sudden changes in their environments.Moreover,

Overview: .Social Work With Addictions. shows the reader how to facilitate change in drug abusers. The book locates addictive behaviour within a set of interacting systems, taking the wider social context into account in its discussion of the individual with a problem. The practical implications of approaching addiction in this way are explored and methods are explained for working with individuals whose orientation towards treatment can vary from steadfast resistance to desperation for a solution. The methods described are particularly suited to generalist health and welfare workers who confr

Overview: ROBERT F. BORUCH AND ROBERT W. PEARSON During the 13th Century. a vigorous argument among Middle Eastern rabbis concerned how one ought to make a fair assessment of an olive crop value for tithing purposes. Should one consolidate the crop. systematically mix the olives. and then conscientiously draw a small random sample? Or. might one simply grab a handful of olives from the nearest basket and make an estimate of the crop‘s worth. The issue. of course. is one that research designers and research users confront often -- balancing the need for information against the resources that mu
