Intelligent and Evolutionary Systems
by George Leu Hemant Kumar Singh Saber ElsayedOver the last two decades the field of Intelligent Systems delivered to human kind significant achievements, while also facing major transformations. 20 years ago, automation and knowledge-based AI were still the dominant paradigms fueling the efforts of both researchers and practitioners. Later, 10 years ago, statistical machine intelligence was on the rise, heavily supported by the digital computing, and led to the unprecedented advances in and dependence on digital technology. However, the resultant intelligent systems remained designer-based endeavors and thus, were limited in their true learning and development abilities. Today, the challenge is to have in place intelligent systems that can develop themselves on behalf of their creators, and gain abilities with no or limited supervision in the tasks they are meant to perform. Cognitive development systems, and the supporting cognitive computing are on the rise today, promising yet other significant achievements for the future of human kind. This book captures this unprecedented evolution of the field of intelligent systems, presenting a compilation of studies that covers all research directions in the field over the last two decades, offering to the reader a broad view over the field, while providing a solid foundation from which outstanding new ideas may emerge.

Intelligente Produktions- und Fertigungsoptimierung - Der Bienenalgorithmus-Ansatz
by Duc Truong Pham Natalia HartonoDieses Buch ist das erste Werk, das sich mit dem Bienenalgorithmus beschäftigt. Nach einer sanften Einführung in die wichtigsten Ideen, die dem Algorithmus zugrunde liegen, stellt das Buch aktuelle Ergebnisse und Entwicklungen im Zusammenhang mit dem Algorithmus und seiner Anwendung auf Optimierungsprobleme in Produktion und Fertigung vor.Mit dem Beginn der vierten industriellen Revolution sind Produktions- und Fertigungsprozesse und -systeme immer komplexer geworden. Um die beste Leistung aus ihnen herauszuholen, sind effiziente und effektive Optimierungstechniken erforderlich, die nicht von der Verfügbarkeit von Prozess- oder Systemmodellen abhängen. Solche Modelle sind in der Regel entweder nicht verfügbar oder aufgrund des hohen Grades an Nichtlinearität und Unsicherheiten in den darzustellenden Prozessen und Systemen mathematisch schwer zu lösen. Der Bienenalgorithmus ist eine leistungsstarke, schwarmbasierte, intelligente Optimierungs-Metaheuristik, die vom Suchverhalten der Honigbienen inspiriert ist. Der Algorithmus ist konzeptionell elegant und extrem einfach anzuwenden. Alles, was er zur Lösung eines Optimierungsproblems benötigt, ist ein Mittel zur Bewertung der Qualität potenzieller Lösungen. Dieses Buch zeigt die Einfachheit, Effektivität und Vielseitigkeit des Algorithmus und ermutigt Ingenieure und Forscher auf der ganzen Welt, ihn weiter einzusetzen, um eine intelligente und nachhaltige Fertigung und Produktion im Zeitalter von Industrie 4.0 und darüber hinaus zu realisieren.

It also examines the source code-level optimizations that can be performed to exploit the powerful features of the processor. Xeon Phi is at the heart of world's fastest commercial supercomputer, which thanks to the massively parallel computing capabilities of Intel Xeon Phi processors coupled with Xeon Phi coprocessors attained 33. 86 teraflops of benchmark performance in 2013. Extracting such stellar performance in real-world applications requires a sophisticated understanding of the complex interaction among hardware components, Xeon Phi cores, and the applications running on them. In this book, Rezaur Rahman, an Intel leader in the development of the Xeon Phi coprocessor and the optimization of its applications, presents and details all the features of Xeon Phi core design that are relevant to the practice of application developers, such as its vector units, hardware multithreading, cache hierarchy, and host-to-coprocessor communication channels. Building on this foundation, he shows developers how to solve real-world technical computing problems by selecting, deploying, and optimizing the available algorithms and data structure alternatives matching Xeon Phi's hardware characteristics. From Rahman's practical descriptions and extensive code examples, the reader will gain a working knowledge of the Xeon Phi vector instruction set and the Xeon Phi microarchitecture whereby cores execute 512-bit instruction streams in parallel.
Intent Recognition for Human-Machine Interactions (SpringerBriefs in Computer Science)
by Hua Xu Hanlei Zhang Ting-En LinNatural interaction is one of the hottest research issues in human-computer interaction. At present, there is an urgent need for intelligent devices (service robots, virtual humans, etc.) to be able to understand intentions in an interactive dialogue. Focusing on human-computer understanding based on deep learning methods, the book systematically introduces readers to intention recognition, unknown intention detection, and new intention discovery in human-computer dialogue. This book is the first to present interactive dialogue intention analysis in the context of natural interaction. In addition to helping readers master the key technologies and concepts of human-machine dialogue intention analysis and catch up on the latest advances, it includes valuable references for further research.
Intentional Perspectives on Information Systems Engineering
by Selmin Nurcan Jolita Ralyté Carine Souveyet Camille SalinesiRequirements engineering has since long acknowledged the importance of the notion that system requirements are stakeholder goals--rather than system functions--and ought to be elicited, modeled and analyzed accordingly. In this book, Nurcan and her co-editors collected twenty contributions from leading researchers in requirements engineering with the intention to comprehensively present an overview of the different perspectives that exist today, in 2010, on the concept of intention in the information systems community. These original papers honor Colette Rolland for her contributions to this field, as she was probably the first to emphasize that 'intention' has to be considered as a first-class concept in information systems engineering. Written by long-term collaborators (and most often friends) of Colette Rolland, this volume covers topics like goal-oriented requirements engineering, model-driven development, method engineering, and enterprise modeling. As such, it is a tour d'horizon of Colette Rolland's lifework, and is presented to her on the occasion of her retirement at CaISE 2010 in Hammamet, the conference she once cofounded and which she helped to grow and prosper for more than 20 years.
