Review Shape Analysis and Retrieval of Multimedia Objects (Multimedia Systems and Applications) / Springer:With the explosive growth of Multimedia Applications, the ability to index/retrieve multimedia objects in an efficient way is challenging to both researchers and practitioners. A major data type stored and managed by these applications is the representation of two dimensional (2D) objects. Objects contain many features (e. g. , color, texture, and shape) that have meaningful semantics. From those features, shape is an important feature that conforms with the way human beings interpret and interact with the real world objects. The shape representation of objects can therefore be used for their indexing, retrieval and as similarity measure. The object databases can be queried and searched for different purposes. For example, a CAD application for manufacturing industrial parts might intend to reduce the cost of building new industrial parts by searching for reusable existing parts in a database. Regarding an alternative trademark registry application, one might need to ensure that a new registered trademark is sufficiently distinctive from the existing marks by searching the database. [+]Therefore, one of the important functionalities required by all these applications is the capability to find objects in a database that match a given object. Traditional books on computer vision and informational retrieval are too general, and they do not provide advanced or specific information regarding shape analysis and recognition. Shape Analysis and Retrieval of Multimedia Objects provides a comprehensive survey of the most advanced and powerful shape retrieval techniques used in practice today. In addition, this monograph addresses key methodological issues for evaluation of the shape retrieval methods. Shape Analysis and Retrieval of Multimedia Objects is designed to meet the needs of practitioners and researchers in industry, and graduate-level students in Computer Science.

Review Feature Selection in Data Mining - Approaches Based on Information Theory / VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller e.K.:In many predictive modeling tasks, one has a fixed set of observations from which a vast, or even infinite, set of potentially predictive features can be computed. Of these features, often only a small number are expected to be useful in a predictive model. Models which use the entire set of features will almost certainly overfit on future data sets. The book presents streamwise feature selection which interleaves the process of generating new features with that of feature testing. Streamwise feature selection scales well to large feature sets. The book also describes how to use streamwise feature seleciton in multivariate regressions. It includes a review of traditional feature selecitions in a general framework based on information theory, and compares these methods with streamwise feature selection on various real and synthetic data sets. This book is intended to be used by researchers in machine learning, data mining, and knowledge discovery.

Review Reasoning Web: 4th International Summer School 2008, Venice Italy, September 7-11, 2008, Tutorial Lectures (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) / Springer:This book contains a collection of thoroughly revised tutorial papers based on lectures given by leading researchers at the 4th International Summer School on the Reasoning Web, held in Venice, Italy, in September 2008. The objective of the book is to provide a coherent introduction to semantic web methods and research issues with a particular focus on reasoning. The seven tutorial papers presented provide competent coverage of methods and major application areas such as social networks, semantic multimedia indexing and retrieval, bioinformatics, and semantic web services. They highlight which techniques are already being successfully applied for purposes such as improving the performance of information retrieval algorithms, enabling the interoperation of heterogeneous agents, modelling users profiles and social relations, and standardizing and improving the accuracy of very large and dynamic scientific databases.

Review Efficient XML Updates- Index-Aware Updates for a Native XML Database System / VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller e.K.:With the rapidly evolving XML technology and thereby ever-increasing number of XML documents, the importance of providing efficient tools for managing these enormous amounts of data is rising every day. Native XML database systems are such tools. Like other XML database systems they need indices in order to provide efficient and fast access to the data. These indices represent redundant data structures in the database and therefore have to be kept consistent, whenever the underlying base data is manipulated. Updating fragments of an XML document with automated, transparent, and efficient index maintenance is the central theme of this book. Author Harald Burger first analyses the two most prominent existing proposals for XML updates, namely the W3C's proposed extension of XQuery with operations for data manipulation and XUpdate. He then introduces an efficient and simple way to keep the indices in an XML DBMS consistent: the Simple Update API for the native XML database management system Infonyte DB. This book is addressed to professionals involved in XML and database development. It is also directed towards researchers in the XML area and beginning graduate or advanced undergraduate students of computer science.

Review Job Scheduling Strategies for Parallel Processing: 13th International Workshop, JSSPP 2007, Seattle, WA, USA, June 17, 2007, Revised Papers (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) / Springer:This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 13th International Workshop on Job Scheduling Strategies for Parallel Processing, JSSPP 2007, held in Seattle, WA, USA, in June 2007, in conjunction with the 21st ACM International Conference on Supercomputing, ICS 2007. The 10 revised full research papers presented went through the process of strict reviewing and subsequent improvement. The papers cover all current issues of job scheduling strategies for parallel processing from the supercomputer-centric viewpoint but also address many nontraditional high-performance computing and parallel environments that cannot or need not access a traditional supercomputer, such as grids, Web services, and commodity parallel computers. The papers are organized in topical sections on performance and tools, queueing systems, as well as grid and heterogeneous architectures.
