    Abstract: Planning, or reasoning about actions, is a fundamental element of intelligent behavior--and one that artificial intelligence has found very difficult to implement. The most well-understood approach to building planning systems has been under refinement since the late 1960s and has now reached a level of maturity where there are good prospects for building working planners. Practical Planning is an in-depth examination of this classical planning paradigm through an intensive case study of SIPE, a significantly implemented planning system. The author, the developer of SIPE, defines the planning problem in general, explains why reasoning about actions is so complex, and describes all parts of the SIPE system and the algorithms needed to achieve efficiency. Details are discussed in the context of problems and important issues in building a practical planner; discussions of how other systems address these issues are also included. Assuming only a basic background in AI, Practical Planning will be of great interest to professionals interested in incorporating planning capabilities into AI systems.

    Abstract: Theoretical Aspects of Reasoning About Knowledge contains the proceedings of the Fifth Conference on Theoretical Aspects of Reasoning About Knowledge (TARK 1994) held in Pacific Grove, California, on March 13-16, 1994. The conference provided a forum for discussing the theoretical aspects of reasoning about knowledge and tackled topics ranging from the logic of iterated belief revision and backwards forward induction to information acquisition from multi-agent resources, infinitely epistemic logic, and coherent belief revision in games. Comprised of 23 chapters, this book begins with a review of situation calculus and a solution to the frame problem, along with the use of a regression method for reasoning about the effect of actions. A novel programming language for high-level robotic control is described, along with a knowledge-based framework for belief change. Subsequent chapters deal with consistent belief reasoning in the presence of inconsistency; an epistemic logic of situations; an axiomatic approach to the logical omniscience problem; and an epistemic proof system for parallel processes. Inductive learning, knowledge asymmetries, and convention are also examined. This monograph will be of interest to both students and practitioners in the fields of artificial intelligence and computer science.

    Abstract: This is the first comprehensive introduction to computational learning theory. The author's uniform presentation of fundamental results and their applications offers AI researchers a theoretical perspective on the problems they study. The book presents tools for the analysis of probabilistic models of learning, tools that crisply classify what is and is not efficiently learnable. After a general introduction to Valiant's PAC paradigm and the important notion of the Vapnik-Chervonenkis dimension, the author explores specific topics such as finite automata and neural networks. The presentation is intended for a broad audience--the author's ability to motivate and pace discussions for beginners has been praised by reviewers. Each chapter contains numerous examples and exercises, as well as a useful summary of important results. An excellent introduction to the area, suitable either for a first course, or as a component in general machine learning and advanced AI courses. Also an important reference for AI researchers.

    Abstract: This text serves as a cookbook for neural network solutions to practical problems using C++. It will enable those with moderate programming experience to select a neural network model appropriate to solving a particular problem, and to produce a working program implementing that network. The book provides guidance along the entire problem-solving path, including designing the training set, preprocessing variables, training and validating the network, and evaluating its performance. Though the book is not intended as a general course in neural networks, no background in neural works is assumed and all models are presented from the ground up. The principle focus of the book is the three layer feedforward network, for more than a decade as the workhorse of professional arsenals. Other network models with strong performance records are also included. Bound in the book is an IBM diskette that includes the source code for all programs in the book. Much of this code can be easily adapted to C compilers. In addition, the operation of all programs is thoroughly discussed both in the text and in the comments within the code to facilitate translation to other languages.

    Abstract: Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence contains the proceedings of the Ninth Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence held at the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC, on July 9-11, 1993. The papers focus on methods of reasoning and decision making under uncertainty as applied to problems in artificial intelligence (AI) and cover topics ranging from knowledge acquisition and automated model construction to learning, planning, temporal reasoning, and machine vision. Comprised of 66 chapters, this book begins with a discussion on causality in Bayesian belief networks before turning to a decision theoretic account of conditional ought statements that rectifies glaring deficiencies in classical deontic logic and forms a sound basis for qualitative decision theory. Subsequent chapters explore trade-offs in constructing and evaluating temporal influence diagrams; normative engineering risk management systems; additive belief-network models; and sensitivity analysis for probability assessments in Bayesian networks. Automated model construction and learning as well as algorithms for inference and decision making are also considered. This monograph will be of interest to both students and practitioners in the fields of AI and computer science.

    Abstract: Most artificial intelligence research investigates intelligent behavior for a single agent--solving problems heuristically, understanding natural language, and so on. Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) is concerned with coordinated intelligent behavior: intelligent agents coordinating their knowledge, skills, and plans to act or solve problems, working toward a single goal, or toward separate, individual goals that interact. DAI provides intellectual insights about organization, interaction, and problem solving among intelligent agents. This comprehensive collection of articles shows the breadth and depth of DAI research. The selected information is relevant to emerging DAI technologies as well as to practical problems in artificial intelligence, distributed computing systems, and human-computer interaction. "Readings in Distributed Artificial Intelligence" proposes a framework for understanding the problems and possibilities of DAI. It divides the study into three realms: the natural systems approach (emulating strategies and representations people use to coordinate their activities), the engineering/science perspective (building automated, coordinated problem solvers for specific applications), and a third, hybrid approach that is useful in analyzing and developing mixed collections of machines and human agents working together. The editors introduce the volume with an important survey of the motivations, research, and results of work in DAI. This historical and conceptual overview combines with chapter introductions to guide the reader through this fascinating field. A unique and extensive bibliography is also provided.

    Abstract: Foundations of Deductive Databases and Logic Programming focuses on the foundational issues concerning deductive databases and logic programming. The selection first elaborates on negation in logic programming and towards a theory of declarative knowledge. Discussions focus on model theory of stratified programs, fixed point theory of nonmonotonic operators, stratified programs, semantics for negation in terms of special classes of models, relation between closed world assumption and the completed database, negation as a failure, and closed world assumption. The book then takes a look at negation as failure using tight derivations for general logic programs, declarative semantics of logic programs with negation, and declarative semantics of deductive databases and logic programs. The publication tackles converting AND-control to OR-control by program transformation, optimizing dialog, equivalences of logic programs, unification, and logic programming and parallel complexity. Topics include parallelism and structured and unstructured data, parallel algorithms and complexity, solving equations, most general unifiers, systems of equations and inequations, equivalences of logic programs, and optimizing recursive programs. The selection is a valuable source of data for researchers interested in pursuing further studies on the foundations of deductive databases and logic programming.

    Abstract: Focusing on fundamental scientific and engineering issues, this book communicates the principles of building and using knowledge systems from the conceptual standpoint as well as the practical. Previous treatments of knowledge systems have focused on applications within a particular field, or on symbol-level representations, such as the use of frame and rule representations. Introduction to Knowledge Systems presents fundamentals of symbol-level representations including representations for time, space, uncertainty, and vagueness. It also compares the knowledge-level organizations for three common knowledge-intensive tasks: classification, configuration, and diagnosis. The art of building knowledge systems incorporates computer science theory, programming practice, and psychology. The scope of this book is appropriately broad, ranging from the design of hierarchical search algorithms to techniques for acquiring the task-specific knowledge needed for successful applications. Each chapter proceeds from concepts to applications, and closes with a brief tour of current research topics and open issues. Readers will come away with a solid foundation that will enable them to create real-world knowledge systems using whatever tools and programming languages are most current and appropriate.

    Abstract: Machine Learning: An Artificial Intelligence Approach contains tutorial overviews and research papers representative of trends in the area of machine learning as viewed from an artificial intelligence perspective. The book is organized into six parts. Part I provides an overview of machine learning and explains why machines should learn. Part II covers important issues affecting the design of learning programs—particularly programs that learn from examples. It also describes inductive learning systems. Part III deals with learning by analogy, by experimentation, and from experience. Parts IV and V discuss learning from observation and discovery, and learning from instruction, respectively. Part VI presents two studies on applied learning systems—one on the recovery of valuable information via inductive inference; the other on inducing models of simple algebraic skills from observed student performance in the context of the Leeds Modeling System (LMS). This book is intended for researchers in artificial intelligence, computer science, and cognitive psychology; students in artificial intelligence and related disciplines; and a diverse range of readers, including computer scientists, robotics experts, knowledge engineers, educators, philosophers, data analysts, psychologists, and electronic engineers.

    Abstract: The Frame Problem in Artificial Intelligence: Proceedings of the 1987 Workshop focuses on the approaches, principles, and concepts related to the frame problem in artificial intelligence (AI). The selection first tackles the definition of the frame problem, circumscription approaches and criticisms, modal logic approaches, and syntactic consistency approaches. The text then takes a look at two frame problems, frame problem in AI, and the frame problem in AI histories, including frame problem defined, mathematical frame problem, commonsense frame problem, and the problems of qualification and extended prediction and their relation to the frame problem. The publication examines tense-logic-based mitigation of the frame problem, unframing the frame problem, a truth maintenance based approach to the frame problem, and qualification problem. Topics include possible worlds, qualification and possible worlds, epistemological issues, truth maintenance, contradiction handling, application of intensional logic, development and implementation of chronolog, and approaches to solving the frame problem. The selection is a dependable source of data for researchers interested in the frame problem.

    Abstract: Readings in Qualitative Reasoning about Physical Systems describes the automated reasoning about the physical world using qualitative representations. This text is divided into nine chapters, each focusing on some aspect of qualitative physics. The first chapter deal with qualitative physics, which is concerned with representing and reasoning about the physical world. The goal of qualitative physics is to capture both the commonsense knowledge of the person on the street and the tacit knowledge underlying the quantitative knowledge used by engineers and scientists. The succeeding chapter discusses the qualitative calculus and its role in constructing an envisionment that includes behavior over both mythical time and elapsed time. These topics are followed by reviews of the mathematical aspects of qualitative reasoning, history-based simulation and temporal reasoning, as well as the intelligence in scientific computing. The final chapters are devoted to automated modeling for qualitative reasoning and causal explanations of behavior. These chapters also examine the qualitative kinematics of reasoning about shape and space. This book will prove useful to psychologists and psychiatrists.

    Abstract: Readings in Cognitive Science: A Perspective from Psychology and Artificial Intelligence brings together important studies that fall in the intersection between artificial intelligence and cognitive psychology. This book is composed of six chapters, and begins with the complex anatomy and physiology of the human brain. The next chapters deal with the components of cognitive science, such as the semantic memory, similarity and analogy, and learning. These chapters also consider the application of mental models, which represent the domain-specific knowledge needed to understand a dynamic system or natural physical phenomena. The remaining chapters discuss the concept of reasoning, problem solving, planning, vision, and imagery. This book is of value to psychologists, psychiatrists, neurologists, and researchers who are interested in cognition.

    Abstract: Reasoning About Actions and Plans discusses approaches to a number of the more challenging problems in reasoning about the future and forming plans of action to achieve their goals. Reasoning about actions and plans can be seen as fundamental to the development of intelligent machines that are capable of dealing effectively with real-world problems. This book comprises 17 chapters, with the first delving into the semantics of STRIPS. The following chapters then discuss a theory of plans; formulating multiagent, dynamic-world problems in the classical planning framework; and a representation of parallel activity based on events, structure, and causality. Other chapters cover branching regular expressions and multi-agent plans; a representation of action and belief for automatic planning systems; possible worlds planning; and intractability and time-dependent planning. The remaining chapters discuss goal structure, holding periods and "clouds"; a model of plan inference that distinguishes between the beliefs of actors and observers; persistence, intention, and commitment; the context-sensitivity of belief and desire; the doxastic theory of intention; an architecture for intelligent reactive systems; and abstract reasoning as emergent from concrete activity. This book will be of interest to practitioners in the fields of cognition and artificial intelligence.

    Abstract: COLT '90 covers the proceedings of the Third Annual Workshop on Computational Learning Theory, sponsored by the ACM SIGACT/SIGART, University of Rochester, Rochester, New York on August 6-8, 1990. The book focuses on the processes, methodologies, principles, and approaches involved in computational learning theory. The selection first elaborates on inductive inference of minimal programs, learning switch configurations, computational complexity of approximating distributions by probabilistic automata, and a learning criterion for stochastic rules. The text then takes a look at inductive identification of pattern languages with restricted substitutions, learning ring-sum-expansions, sample complexity of PAC-learning using random and chosen examples, and some problems of learning with an Oracle. The book examines a mechanical method of successful scientific inquiry, boosting a weak learning algorithm by majority, and learning by distances. Discussions focus on the relation to PAC learnability, majority-vote game, boosting a weak learner by majority vote, and a paradigm of scientific inquiry. The selection is a dependable source of data for researchers interested in the computational learning theory.

    Abstract: Dans la bande dessinée, la couleur est devenue une composante presque aussi importante que le scénario ou le dessin lui-même. Les noms des coloristes les plus réputés apparaissent enfin sur les couvertures des albums, leur conférant ainsi un statut de co-auteur à part entière. Cet e-book est extrait de l'ouvrage papier Colorisation de BD, du traditionnel au numérique (2e édition parue aux éditions Eyrolles en décembre 2010, ISBN 978-2-212-12580-1), le manuel de référence des professionnels comme des étudiants en écoles de graphisme et de dessin. Il est intégralement dédié à la colorisation de planches de BD avec Photoshop. Après avoir proposé des astuces et méthodes avancées appliquées à la colorisation numérique avec ce logiciel, les auteurs détaillent plusieurs études de cas concrètes, pas à pas, depuis la préparation des planches jusqu'à l'harmonisation des couleurs en fin de travail. Pour tous ceux qui cherchent à devenir professionnels, une annexe propose enfin quelques conseils et recommandations pratiques de remise des planches à des éditeurs. La version ePub de cet e-book est enrichie de 9 vidéos pour vous guider dans l'apprentissage de la mise en couleurs avec Photoshop.

    Abstract: Computational Intelligence: Concepts to Implementations provides the most complete and practical coverage of computational intelligence tools and techniques to date. This book integrates various natural and engineering disciplines to establish Computational Intelligence. This is the first comprehensive textbook on the subject, supported with lots of practical examples. It asserts that computational intelligence rests on a foundation of evolutionary computation. This refreshing view has set the book apart from other books on computational intelligence. This book lays emphasis on practical applications and computational tools, which are very useful and important for further development of the computational intelligence field. Focusing on evolutionary computation, neural networks, and fuzzy logic, the authors have constructed an approach to thinking about and working with computational intelligence that has, in their extensive experience, proved highly effective. The book moves clearly and efficiently from concepts and paradigms to algorithms and implementation techniques by focusing, in the early chapters, on the specific con. It explores a number of key themes, including self-organization, complex adaptive systems, and emergent computation. It details the metrics and analytical tools needed to assess the performance of computational intelligence tools. The book concludes with a series of case studies that illustrate a wide range of successful applications. This book will appeal to professional and academic researchers in computational intelligence applications, tool development, and systems. Moves clearly and efficiently from concepts and paradigms to algorithms and implementation techniques by focusing, in the early chapters, on the specific concepts and paradigms that inform the authors' methodologies Explores a number of key themes, including self-organization, complex adaptive systems, and emergent computation Details the metrics and analytical tools needed to assess the performance of computational intelligence tools Concludes with a series of case studies that illustrate a wide range of successful applications Presents code examples in C and C++ Provides, at the end of each chapter, review questions and exercises suitable for graduate students, as well as researchers and practitioners engaged in self-study

    Abstract: 25 000 exemplaires vendus Depuis la première édition de cet ouvrage, les turbulences de l'environnement, les nouvelles technologies de l'information et les évolutions surprenantes du comportement des consommateurs ont sensiblement modifié les pratiques marketing. Cette troisième édition, entièrement remaniée et enrichie de deux chapitres supplémentaires, intègre ces nouveaux éléments. Notre réflexion souhaite s'inscrire dans la durée. Aussi les techniques et les illustrations sont choisies pour leur fiabilité et leur caractère exemplaire ; elles veulent se situer au-delà des modes éphémères. L'ouvrage, accessible et pédagogique, offre une solide initiation à un marketing rigoureux. Deux objectifs ont été privilégiés : aller à l'essentiel et faciliter l'assimilation des techniques de base. Pour cela, quatre principes ont été retenus : Proposer d'emblée une synthèse des éléments clés du marketing , puis approfondir chaque point dans un chapitre distinct ; Privilégier la compréhension des comportements du consommateur , en nous appuyant sur les résultats les plus solides des recherches académiques ; Donner une vision stratégique du marketing, sans négliger les aspects techniques et les applications concrètes ; S'appuyer sur des exemples réels développés dans les "Focus Manager", traiter les aspects techniques dans les fiches dédiées et proposer un test de connaissance au terme de chaque chapitre. Au sommaire Repères essentiels du marketing Les périmètres du marketing Les missions du marketing L'information marketing Les décisions du consommateur L'influence de l'entourage du consommateur Techniques d'étude de marché Décisions stratégiques en marketing Stratégies de segmentation et de positionnement Stratégie de marque et relationnelle Stratégies concurrentielles Le plan marketing Management du marketing mix Management des produits Management des prix Management de la communication Management des ventes et de la distribution des produits

    Abstract: Avec le D5100, Nikon propose un appareil compact et léger étudié pour être ergonomique en prises de vue photographiques comme en vidéo, avec un écran orientable et une fonction autofocus pour le tournage de film. Rançon de la compacité, la plupart des objectifs du siècle dernier ne sont plus totalement compatibles, mais nos tests permettent de signaler des solutions pour les adeptes de la mise au point manuelle. En termes de qualité d'image, cet appareil grand public offre de meilleurs résultats que les modèles pro APS 12 Mpix des années antérieures, mais avec un poids et un prix bien plus légers. Cet e-book présente les performances chiffrées et des observations de terrain de ce nouveau boîtier, examine ses principes ergonomiques et propose des essais de réglages commentés. Il donne également des conseils sur les logiciels utiles au post-traitement des images issues du D5100. Des fiches de mesures présentent enfin, dans les deux derniers chapitres de l'ouvrage, les qualités de 31 objectifs de marque Nikon et compatibles, qui permettent de répondre à quasiment tous les besoins des photographes amateurs.

    Abstract: Dans cet e-book, 94 optiques Nikon compatibles avec le boîtier numérique D300s à capteur 16 x 24 mm de 12 millions de pixels sont présentées et analysées selon leur piqué, leur vignetage, leur aberration chromatique et leur distorsion. Chaque fiche présente ces résultats et commente les performances et l'usage que l'on peut attendre de ces objectifs. De certaines anciennes et légendaires optiques F des années 1960, en passant par les célèbres AIS des années 1980, jusqu'aux derniers zooms pro ou objectifs macro ou à décentrement spécialement développés pour les capteurs numériques, et en intégrant bien sûr toute la gamme Nikon DX spécialement destinée aux reflex numériques à petit capteur, un large choix de focales de 10 à 300 mm est passé en revue. L'auteur, qui a une longue expérience des matériels Nikon et des évaluations d'optiques présente aussi les principaux atouts du boîtier D300s et les réglages de base, ou préférences logicielles, que l'on peut utiliser pour réussir au mieux ses images. Au sommaire Le système reflex Nikon Découvrir et configurer le D300s Les mesures et la qualité optique Les optiques spécifiques DX Les zooms 24 x 36 professionnels Les zooms 24 x 36 amateurs et experts Les focales fixes et standards Les focales fixes de moyennes et longues focales Les optiques fixes spéciales

    Abstract: Pour la première fois, Nikon dote un reflex compact et léger du capteur le plus défini de sa gamme reflex "APS", et lui adjoint les fonctions de visée, de mesure de la lumière avec les anciennes optiques et d'autofocus dérivées des modèles pro ! Le D7000 fera donc date dans la production de la marque, en offrant des performances supérieures aux modèles pro APS 12 Mpix des années antérieures, mais avec un poids et un prix bien plus légers. Le boîtier répond-il aux promesses annoncées ? Est-il facile à configurer ? Et surtout, les optiques de base (souvent déjà testées dans nos ouvrages sur le D300 et D300s) survivent-elles à la résolution optique supérieure du capteur ? Cet ebook donne des réponses chiffrées et argumentées à toutes ces questions, et vous propose également des essais commentés de réglages du boîtier et des conseils sur les logiciels utiles au post-traitement des images issues du D7000.

    Abstract: The rapidly increasing volume of information contained in relational databases places a strain on databases, performance, and maintainability: DBAs are under greater pressure than ever to optimize database structure for system performance and administration. Physical Database Design discusses the concept of how physical structures of databases affect performance, including specific examples, guidelines, and best and worst practices for a variety of DBMSs and configurations. Something as simple as improving the table index design has a profound impact on performance. Every form of relational database, such as Online Transaction Processing (OLTP), Enterprise Resource Management (ERP), Data Mining (DM), or Management Resource Planning (MRP), can be improved using the methods provided in the book. The first complete treatment on physical database design, written by the authors of the seminal, Database Modeling and Design: Logical Design, Fourth Edition Includes an introduction to the major concepts of physical database design as well as detailed examples, using methodologies and tools most popular for relational databases today: Oracle, DB2 (IBM), and SQL Server (Microsoft) Focuses on physical database design for exploiting B+tree indexing, clustered indexes, multidimensional clustering (MDC), range partitioning, shared nothing partitioning, shared disk data placement, materialized views, bitmap indexes, automated design tools, and more!

    Abstract: User-Centered Design Stories is the first user-centered design casebook with cases covering the key tasks and issues facing UCD practitioners today. Intended for both students and practitioners, this book follows the Harvard Case study method, where the reader is placed in the role of the decision-maker in a real-life professional situation. In this book, the reader is asked to analyze dozens of UCD work situations and propose solutions for the problem set. The problems posed in the cases cover a wide variety of key tasks and issues faced by practitioners, including those related to organizational/managerial topics, UCD methods and processes, and technical/ project issues. The benefit of the casebook and its organization is that it offers new practitioners (as well as experienced practitioners working in new settings) valuable practice in decision-making that cannot be obtained by simply reading a book or attending a seminar. The first User-Centered Design Casebook, with cases covering the key tasks and issues facing UCD practitioners today. Each chapter based on real world cases with complex problems, giving readers as close to a real-world experience as possible. Offers "the things you don't learn in school," such as innovative and hybrid solutions that were actually used on the problems discussed.

    Abstract: Computer graphics systems are capable of generating stunningly realistic images of objects that have never physically existed. In order for computers to create these accurately detailed images, digital models of appearance must include robust data to give viewers a credible visual impression of the depicted materials. In particular, digital models demonstrating the nuances of how materials interact with light are essential to this capability. Digital Modeling of Material Appearance is the first comprehensive work on the digital modeling of material appearance: it explains how models from physics and engineering are combined with keen observation skills for use in computer graphics rendering. Written by the foremost experts in appearance modeling and rendering, this book is for practitioners who want a general framework for understanding material modeling tools, and also for researchers pursuing the development of new modeling techniques. The text is not a "how to" guide for a particular software system. Instead, it provides a thorough discussion of foundations and detailed coverage of key advances. Practitioners and researchers in applications such as architecture, theater, product development, cultural heritage documentation, visual simulation and training, as well as traditional digital application areas such as feature film, television, and computer games, will benefit from this much needed resource. ABOUT THE AUTHORS Julie Dorsey and Holly Rushmeier are professors in the Computer Science Department at Yale University and co-directors of the Yale Computer Graphics Group. François Sillion is a senior researcher with INRIA (Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et Automatique), and director of its Grenoble Rhône-Alpes research center. First comprehensive treatment of the digital modeling of material appearance Provides a foundation for modeling appearance, based on the physics of how light interacts with materials, how people perceive appearance, and the implications of rendering appearance on a digital computer An invaluable, one-stop resource for practitioners and researchers in a variety of fields dealing with the digital modeling of material appearance

    Abstract: Standards, while being definitive, do not usually serve as the best reference to the use of a programming language.
