Bio-inspired artificial intelligence : theories, methods, and technologies - Dario Floreano, Claudio Mattiussi
"New approaches to artificial intelligence spring from the idea that intelligence emerges as much from cells, bodies, and societies as it does from evolution, development, and learning. Traditionally, artificial intelligence has been concerned with reproducing the abilities of human brains; newer approaches take inspiration from a wider range of biological structures that are capable of autonomous self-organization. Examples of these new approaches include evolutionary computation and evolutionary electronics, artificial neural networks, immune systems, biorobotics, and swarm intelligence - to mention only a few. This book offers a comprehensive introduction to the emerging field of biologically inspired artificial intelligence that can be used as an upper-level text or as a reference for researchers.."--BOOK JACKET
Broadband mobile multimedia : techniques and applications
Call Number: 004.66 14
ISBN/ISSN: 9781420051841
This research field is, to put it mildly, hot; and the present and future commercial applications are even hotter, because multiple service providing is likely to be one of the prerequisites for the success of the next generation of wireless networks. This collection of 15 articles includes a range of introductory concepts, fundamental techniques, new advances and open research issues to satisfy experienced designers an well as novices, with topics such as multimedia systems (design challenges, performance analysis of multimedia traffic, interactive mobile TV technologies, and multiparty auto-conferencing), multimedia over ad hoc and sensor networks (routing, multipath unicast and multicast video communication), multimedia over wireless local area networks (including wireless local area networks and improvement of video quality) and quality of service and enabling technologies (including end-to-end quality support of video deliver and packet scheduling).
