 Knowledge Processing with Interval and Soft Computing

Knowledge Processing with Interval and Soft Computing

Product Description

Interval computing combined with fuzzy logic has become an emerging tool in studying artificial intelligence and knowledge processing (AIKP) applications since it models uncertainties frequently raised in the field. This book provides introductions for both interval and fuzzy computing in a very accessible style.

Application algorithms covered in this book include quantitative and qualitative data mining with interval valued datasets, decision making systems with interval valued parameters, interval valued Nash games and interval weighted graphs. Successful applications in studying finance and economics, etc are also included.

This book can serve as a handbook or a text for readers interested in applying interval and soft computing for AIKP.

The Puritan Gift: Reclaiming the American Dream Amidst Global Financial Chaos

The Puritan Gift: Reclaiming the American Dream Amidst Global Financial Chaos

The Puritan Gift: Reclaiming the American Dream Amidst Global Financial Chaos

Product Description
Financial Times Top Ten Business Book of 2007! The Puritan Gift traces the origins and the characteristics of American managerial culture which, in the course of three centuries, would turn a group of small colonies into the greatest economic and political power on earth.

It was the Protestant ethic whose characteristics–thrift, a respect for enquiry, individualism tempered by a need to cooperate, success as a measure of divine approval–helped to create the conditions which led to America’s managerial and corporate success. Thus, the authors contend, the drive, energy and acceptance of innovation, competition, growth and social mobility, all have their origins in the discipline and ethos of America’s first wave of European immigrants: the Puritans. And, the authors warn, as Americans distance themselves from core values which produced their nineteenth and twentieth century business and economic successes, they endanger the basis for their prosperity and security.

Primality Testing and Integer Factorization in Public-Key Cryptography

Primality Testing and Integer Factorization in Public-Key Cryptography

Primality Testing and Integer Factorization in Public-Key Cryptography

Product Description

The Primality Testing Problem (PTP) has now proved to be solvable in deterministic polynomial-time (P) by the AKS (Agrawal-Kayal-Saxena) algorithm, whereas the Integer Factorization Problem (IFP) still remains unsolvable in (P). There is still no polynomial-time algorithm for IFP. Many practical public-key cryptosystems and protocols such as RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) rely their security on computational intractability of IFP.

Primality Testing and Integer Factorization in Public Key Cryptography, Second Edition, provides a survey of recent progress in primality testing and integer factorization, with implications to factoring based public key cryptography. Notable new features are the comparison of Rabin-Miller probabilistic test in RP, Atkin-Morain elliptic curve test in ZPP and AKS deterministic test.

This volume is designed for advanced level students in computer science and mathematics, and as a secondary text or reference book; suitable for practitioners and researchers in industry.

First edition was very positively reviewed by Prof Samuel Wagstaff at Purdue University in AMS Mathematical Reviews (See MR2028480 2004j:11148), and by Professor J.T. Ayuso of University of Simon Bolivar in the European Mathematical Society's review journal Zentralblatt für Mathematik (see Zbl 1048.11103).

Product Description
The eagerly awaited Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture (POSA) Volume 4 is about a pattern language for distributed computing.

The authors will guide you through the best practices and introduce you to key areas of building distributed software systems. POSA 4 connects many stand-alone patterns, pattern collections and pattern languages from the existing body of literature found in the POSA series. Such patterns relate to and are useful for distributed computing to a single language.

  • The panel of experts provides you with a consistent and coherent holistic view on the craft of building distributed systems.
  • Includes a foreword by Martin Fowler
  • A must read for practitioners who want practical advice to develop a comprehensive language integrating patterns from key literature.
