Review Information Retrieval Systems: Theory and Implementation (The Information Retrieval Series) / Springer:The growth of the Internet and the availability of enormous volumes of data in digital form has necessitated intense interest in techniques for assisting the user in locating data of interest. The Internet has over 350 million pages of data and is expected to reach over one billion pages by the year 2000. Buried on the Internet are both valuable nuggets for answering questions as well as large quantities of information the average person does not care about. The Digital Library effort is also progressing, with the goal of migrating from the traditional book environment to a digital library environment. Information Retrieval Systems: Theory and Implementation provides a theoretical and practical explanation of the latest advancements in information retrieval and their application to existing systems. It takes a system approach, discussing all aspects of an Information Retrieval System. The importance of the Internet and its associated hypertext-linked structure is put into perspective as a new type of information retrieval data structure. The total system approach also includes discussion of the human interface and the importance of information visualization for identification of relevant information. The theoretical metrics used to describe information systems are expanded to discuss their practical application in the uncontrolled environment of real world systems. Information Retrieval Systems: Theory and Implementation is suitable as a textbook for a graduate-level course on information retrieval, and as a reference for researchers and practitioners in industry.

Review Ecological Informatics: Understanding Ecology by Biologically-Inspired Computation / Springer:Ecological Informatics promotes interdisciplinary research between ecology and computer science on elucidation of principles of information processing in ecosystems, ecological sustainability by informed decision making, and bio-inspired computation. The 2nd edition of the book consolidates the scope, concepts, and techniques of this newly emerging discipline by a new preface and additional chapters on cellular automata, qualitative reasoning, hybrid evolutionary algorithms and artificial neural networks. It illustrates numerous applications of Ecological Informatics for aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, image recognition at micro- and macro-scale as well as computer hardware design. Case studies focus on applications of artificial neural networks, evolutionary computation, cellular automata, adaptive agents, fuzzy logic as well as qualitative reasoning. The 2nd edition of the book includes an index and a CD with novel evolutionary algorithms for the discovery of multiple nonlinear functions and rule sets as well as parameter optimisation in complex ecological data.

Review Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining: The Info-Fuzzy Network (IFN) Methodology (Massive Computing) / Springer:This book presents a unified approach to Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining, termed IFN for Information Fuzzy Network. The IFN methodology handles a selection of the most relevant features, extraction of informative rules and patterns, and post-processing of the extracted knowledge. This book provides detailed descriptions of the IFN algorithms and discusses real-world case studies from several application domains including manufacturing, process engineering, health care, and education. In addition, the book describes the methodology of applications and compares the IFN performance to other data mining methods. Audience: This book is intended to be used by researchers in the field of information systems, engineering, computer science, statistics, and management who are searching for a unified theoretical approach to the knowledge discovery process. The book can also serve as a reference book for courses on data mining, machine learning, and databases.

Review Technologies for Constructing Intelligent Systems 2 / Physica-Verlag Heidelberg:Intelligent systems enhance the capacities made available by the internet and other computer-based technologies. This book is devoted to various aspects of the management of intelligent systems. Particular attention is paid to situations in which the available information and data may be imprecise, uncertain, incomplete or of linguistic nature. Various methods developed to manage such information are discussed in the context of several domains of application. Topics included in the book include preference modelling and decision making, learning, clustering and data mining, information retrieval. The paradigm of computing with words is also addressed.

Review Corporate Information With Sap-Eis: Building a Data Warehouse and a Mis - Application With in Sight (Efficient Business-computing) / Academic Press:The book is a real life-oriented, professional guide to developing a Management Information System (MIS). The book is professional in the sense that it addresses an MIS that encompasses all the hierarchical decisions-making levels within a corporation, and it emphasizes reliable, understandable and transparent information. The most important demand of an MIS is an easy-to-use-system interface, which needs to be coupled with an information infrastructure that takes marked conditions and the company’s particular business environment into account. The use of a modular and flexible system architecture is designed to maximize the system’s benefits to cost ratio. In addition to SAP-EIS, the book details how to use the inSight program (from the Duesseldorf-based company arcplan) to optimize system performance.

Review Fuzzy Database Modeling / Physica-Verlag Heidelberg:Some recent fuzzy database modeling advances for the non-traditional applications are introduced in this book. The focus is on database models for modeling complex information and uncertainty at the conceptual, logical, physical design levels and from integrity constraints defined on the fuzzy relations. The database models addressed here are; the conceptual data models, including the ExIFO and ExIFO2 data models, the logical database models, including the extended NF2 database model, fuzzy object-oriented database model, and the fuzzy deductive object-oriented database model. Integrity constraints are defined on the fuzzy relations are also addressed. A continuing reason for the limited adoption of fuzzy database systems has been performance. There have been few efforts at defining physical structures that accomodate fuzzy information. A new access structure and data organization for fuzzy information is introduced in this book.
