Review Rules and Rule Markup Languages for the Semantic Web: Second International Workshop, RuleML 2003, Sanibel Island, FL, USA, October 20, 2003, Proceedings (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) / Springer:This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Rules and Rule Markup Languages for the Semantic Web, RuleML 2003, held in Sanibel Island, Florida, USA in October 2003 in conjunction with ISWC 2003. Rules and rule markup languages will play an important role for the success of the semantic Web. Rules will act as a means to draw inferences, to express constraints, to specify policies for reaching to events, to transform data, etc. Rule markup languages will allow to enrich Web ontologies by adding definitions of derived concepts, to publish rules on the Web, to exchange rules between different systems, etc. The nine revised full papers presented together with two invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected for presentation. All current issues on rules and rule markup languages for the semantic Web are addressed.

Review Conceptual Modeling of Information Systems / Springer:When designing an information system, conceptual modeling is the activity that elicits and describes the general knowledge the system needs to know. This description, called the conceptual schema, is necessary in order to develop an information system. Recently, many researchers and professionals share a vision in which the conceptual schema becomes the only important description to be created, as the system implementation will be automatically constructed from its schema – this is e. g. the basic idea behind OMG’s Model Driven Architecture. Olivé’s textbook explains in detail the principles of conceptual modeling independently from particular methods and languages and shows how to apply them in real-world projects. He covers all aspects of the engineering process from structural modeling over behavioral modeling to meta-modeling, and completes the presentation with an extensive case study based on the osCommerce system, an online store-management software program freely available under the GNU General Public License. His presentation is based on well-known industry standards like UML and OCL as a particular conceptual modeling language, yet also delivers the basics of the formal logical language background. Written for computer science students in classes on information systems modeling as well as for professionals feeling the need to formalize their experiences or to update their knowledge, Olivé delivers here a comprehensive treatment of all aspects of the modeling process. His book is complemented by lots of exercises and additional online teaching material.

Review Knowledge Engineering: Unifying Knowledge Base and Database Design (Artificial Intelligence) / Springer:This systematic and detailed monograph describes a design methodology for knowledge-based systems. Such systems contain knowledge as well as information and data. The information and data can be modeled and implemented as a database. The knowledge can be implemented either in a programming language or in an expert systems shell. The methodology has two special features: It is unified, i. e. , it represents the data, information, and knowledge in a homogeneous manner, as well as the relationships between them. Also, it builds a maintenance mechanism into the design. A special benefit of the book is its thorough treatment of constraints for knowledge and for knowledge-based systems. Presenting the material in both a formal and a practical way, it is intended for practitioners as well as researchers and advanced students.

Review Information Modeling and Relational Databases: From Conceptual Analysis to Logical Design / Morgan Kaufmann:Information Modeling and Relational Databases provides an introduction to ORM (Object Role Modeling)-and much more. In fact, it's the only book to go beyond introductory coverage and provide all of the in-depth instruction you need to transform knowledge from domain experts into a sound database design. Inside, ORM authority Terry Halpin blends conceptual information with practical instruction that will let you begin using ORM effectively as soon as possible. Supported by examples, exercises, and useful background information, his step-by-step approach teaches you to develop a natural-language-based ORM model and then, where needed, abstract ER and UML models from it. This book will quickly make you proficient in the modeling technique that is proving vital to the development of accurate and efficient databases that best meet real business objectives. * The most in-depth coverage of Object Role Modeling available anywhere-written by a pioneer in the development of ORM. * Provides additional coverage of Entity Relationship (ER) modeling and the Unified Modeling Language-all from an ORM perspective. * Intended for anyone with a stake in the accuracy and efficacy of databases: systems analysts, information modelers, database designers and administrators, instructors, managers, and programmers. * Explains and illustrates required concepts from mathematics and set theory. * Via a companion Web site, provides answers to exercises, appendices covering the history of computer generations, subtype matrices, and advanced SQL queries, and links to downloadable ORM tools.

Review Intelligent Data Analysis / Springer:This monograph is a detailed introductory presentation of the key classes of intelligent data analysis methods. The twelve coherently written chapters by leading experts provide complete coverage of the core issues. The first half of the book is devoted to the discussion of classical statistical issues, ranging from the basic concepts of probability, through general notions of inference, to advanced multivariate and time series methods, as well as a detailed discussion of the increasingly important Bayesian approaches and Support Vector Machines. The following chapters then concentrate on the area of machine learning and artificial intelligence and provide introductions into the topics of rule induction methods, neural networks, fuzzy logic, and stochastic search methods. The book concludes with a chapter on Visualization and a higher-level overview of the IDA processes, which illustrates the breadth of application of the presented ideas.

Review Introduction to Logistics Systems Planning and Control (Wiley Interscience Series in Systems and Optimization) / Wiley:Logistics is defined as a business planning framework for the management of material, service, information and capital flows. Logistic systems have received considerable attention in the last 10 years, as they constitute one of the cornerstones in the design and control of production systems and the modeling of supply chains. This renewed interest is partly due to the recognition that well-known planning and control systems such as ‘Manufacturing Resources Planning’ and ‘Just in Time’ systems fail to establish a sound integration of lead time management, capacity planning and quality considerations. This book uniquely: Presents a balanced treatment of quantitative methods for logistics systems planning, organization and control. Each topic is illustrated with real examples. Each chapter features an annotated bibliography of key references. Features a number of case studies that show how the methods can be applied to complex logistics problems. Assumes only a basic knowledge of operations research. Supported by a Website featuring exercises and teaching material. A unique, leading edge title for researchers, practitioners, and students of logistics and supply chain management, in both academia; engineering, computer science, management science, undergraduate, graduate students and industry professionals.
