Logic Programming in Action: Second International Logic Programming Summer School, LPSS ’92, Zurich, Switzerland, September 7-11, 1992. Proceedings (Lecture … / Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence)

March 8, 2012 – 6:59 am

Logic Programming in Action: Second International Logic Programming Summer School, LPSS '92, Zurich, Switzerland, September 7-11, 1992. Proceedings (Lecture ... / Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence)

Logic programming enjoys a privileged position. It is firmly
rooted in mathematical logic, yet it is also immensely
practical, as a growing number of users in universities,
research institutes, and industry are realizing. Logic
programming languages, specifically Prolog, have turned out
to be ideal as prototyping and application development
languages.
This volume presents the proceedings of the Second Logic
Programming Summer School, LPSS’92. The First Logic
Programming Summer School, LPSS ’90, addressed the
theoretical foundations of logic programming. This volume
focuses onthe relationship between theory and practice, and
on practical applications.
The introduction to the volume is by R. Kowalski, one of the
pioneers in the field. The following papers are organized
into sections on constraint logic programming, deductive
databases and expert systems, processing of natural and
formal languages, software engineering, and education.Logic programming enjoys a privileged position. It is firmly

Problem Solving Handbook in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (Lecture notes in mathematics)

March 8, 2012 – 6:21 am

Problem Solving Handbook in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (Lecture notes in mathematics)

Bioinformatics is growing by leaps and bounds; theories/algorithms/statistical techniques are constantly evolving. Nevertheless, a core body of algorithmic ideas have emerged and researchers are beginning to adopt a “problem solving” approach to bioinformatics, wherein they use solutions to well-abstracted problems as building blocks to solve larger scope problems. Problem Solving Handbook for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics is an edited volume contributed by world renowned leaders in this field. This comprehensive handbook with problem solving emphasis, covers all relevant areas of computational biology and bioinformatics. Web resources and related themes are highlighted at every opportunity in this central easy-to-read reference. Designed for advanced-level students, researchers and professors in computer science and bioengineering as a reference or secondary text, this handbook is also suitable for professionals working in this industry.

Defence Applications of Multi-Agent Systems: International Workshop, DAMAS 2005, Utrecht, The Netherlands, July 25, 2005, Revised and Invited Papers (Lecture … / Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence)

March 8, 2012 – 5:59 am

Defence Applications of Multi-Agent Systems: International Workshop, DAMAS 2005, Utrecht, The Netherlands, July 25, 2005, Revised and Invited Papers (Lecture ... / Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence)

Defence applications are subject to some of the world’s most demanding requirements for reliability, controllability, security, flexibility, and synchronization. The evolution of defence processes towards network enabled systems and rapid deployment scenarios, is creating an urgent demand for highly adaptive and autonomous information support systems. In particular there are requirements for reduced manpower in support roles, autonomous IT infrastructures, and automated logistics and planning, all of which provide significant scope for an agent-oriented solution set. The workshop addresses the use of agent systems and agent applications applied to defence scenarios in support of these requirements.


This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the International Workshop on Defence Applications of Multi-Agent Systems, DAMAS 2005, held in Utrecht, The Netherlands in July 2005 as an associated event of AAMAS 2005, the main international conference on autonomous agents and multi-agent systems. The 10 revised full papers presented together with 1 invited article are organized in topical sections on decision support and simulation, unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as on systems and security.

Programming Multi-Agent Systems: Third International Workshop, ProMAS 2005, Utrecht, The Netherlands, July 26, 2005, Revised and Invited Papers (Lecture ... / Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence)

The area of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems (MAS) has grown into a promising technology offering sensible alternatives for the design of distributed, intelligent systems. Several efforts have been made by researchers and practitioners, both in academia and industry, and by several standardisation consortia in order to provide new languages, tools, methods, and frameworks so as to establish the necessary standards for a wide use of MAS technology. The papers of this volume focus on the development of programming languages and tools that can effectively support MAS programming and the implementation of key notions in MAS in a unified framework to bridge the gap from analysis and design to effective implementation that way.


This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed postproceedings of the Third International Workshop on Programming Multi-Agent Systems, ProMAS 2005, held in Utrecht, The Netherlands in July 2005 as an associated event of AAMAS 2005, the main international conference on autonomous agents and multi-agent systems. The 14 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited articles are organized in topical sections on multi-agent techniques and issues, multi-agent programming, and multi-agent platforms and organisation.
