Review Euro-Par 2006: Parallel Processing: Workshops: CoreGRID 2006, UNICORE Summit 2006, Petascale Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, Dresden, Germany, ... Papers (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) / Springer:This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed joint post-proceedings of the three International Workshops on Grid Middleware, CoreGrid 2006, the UNICORE Summit 2006, and the Workshop on Petascale Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, held in Dresden, Germany, in August/September 2006, in conjunction with Euro-Par 2006, the 12th International Conference on Parallel Computing. The 29 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 50 submissions. The 16 papers presented at the CoreGRID Workshop on Grid Middleware focused on knowledge and data management on grids, grid resource management and scheduling, as well as grid information, resource and workflow monitoring services. The 8 papers presented at the UNICORE Summit 2006 show current developments and implementations of the UNICORE middleware system, which today is used in daily production worldwide. Beyond this production usage, the UNICORE technology serves as a solid basis in many European and International projects. The concern of the 5 papers of the Petascale Computational Biology and Bioinformatics Workshop was to show what bioinformatics or computational biology applications can or should accomplish with petascale computing environments, and what obstacles must be overcome in order to implement and use effective and important problems in the life sciences (biology, biochemistry, environmental sciences, etc. ).

Review Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery for Process Monitoring and Control (Advances in Industrial Control) / Springer:Modern computer-based control systems are able to collect a large amount of information, display it to operators and store it in databases but the interpretation of the data and the subsequent decision making relies mainly on operators with little computer support. This book introduces developments in automatic analysis and interpretation of process-operational data both in real-time and over the operational history, and describes new concepts and methodologies for developing intelligent, state-space-based systems for process monitoring, control and diagnosis. The book brings together new methods and algorithms from process monitoring and control, data mining and knowledge discovery, artificial intelligence, pattern recognition, and causal relationship discovery, as well as signal processing. It also provides a framework for integrating plant operators and supervisors into the design of process monitoring and control systems. The topics covered include: • a fresh look at current systems for process monitoring, control and diagnosis; • a framework for developing intelligent, state-space-based systems; • a review of data mining and knowledge discovery; • data preprocessing for feature extraction, dimension reduction, noise removal and concept formation; • multivariate statistical analysis for process monitoring and control; • supervised and unsupervised methods for operational state identification; • variable causal relationship discovery in graphical models and production rules; • software sensor design; • historical data analysis; Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery for Process Monitoring and Control is important reading for researchers and graduate students in process control and data and knowledge engineering. Control and process engineers should also find this book of value.

Review Modeling Decisions: Information Fusion and Aggregation Operators (Cognitive Technologies) / Springer:Information fusion techniques and aggregation operators produce the most comprehensive, specific datum about an entity using data supplied from different sources, thus enabling us to reduce noise, increase accuracy, summarize and extract information, and make decisions. These techniques are applied in fields such as economics, biology and education, while in computer science they are particularly used in fields such as knowledge-based systems, robotics, and data mining. This book covers the underlying science and application issues related to aggregation operators, focusing on tools used in practical applications that involve numerical information. Starting with detailed introductions to information fusion and integration, measurement and probability theory, fuzzy sets, and functional equations, the authors then cover the following topics in detail: synthesis of judgements, fuzzy measures, weighted means and fuzzy integrals, indices and evaluation methods, model selection, and parameter extraction. The methods are illustrated with representative examples throughout, and there are extensive bibliographies and reading suggestions. The book is intended for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners such as engineers, computer scientists, statisticians and economists who use decision models and aggregation operators. The reader is assumed to have a nonspecialized background in mathematics.

Review DB2/400 Design Concepts: Referential Integrity and Triggers / Midrange Computing:Now you can offload key data integrity enforcement from your application code to the database manager, so business rules cannot be bypassed and modifications can be made in one place rather than application by application. Midrange Computing editor Sharon Hoffman tells you how in her new book, DB2/400 Design Concepts: Referential Integrity and Triggers. "When the V3R1 database announcements were unveiled in May 1994, presenters assumed that customers understood the functions in theory," writes Hoffman in her introduction. "This assumption has proven to be invalid. " The problem, she explains, is that V3R1 introduced "unfamiliar terminology based on database concepts that are unknown in the AS/400 business community. " To rectify the situation, Hoffman wrote DB2/400 Design Concepts: Referential Integrity and Triggers-the first and only book designed to explain these important functions from the perspective of a traditional AS/400 programmer!.

Review Handbook of Biometrics / Springer:Biometric recognition, or simply Biometrics, is a rapidly evolving field with applications ranging from accessing one's computer to gaining entry into a country. Biometric systems rely on the use of physical or behavioral traits, such as fingerprints, face, voice and hand geometry, to establish the identity of an individual. The deployment of large-scale biometric systems in both commercial (e. g. , grocery stores, amusement parks, airports) and government (e. g. , US-VISIT) applications has served to increase the public's awareness of this technology. This rapid growth has also highlighted the challenges associated with designing and deploying biometric systems. Indeed, the problem of biometric recognition is a "Grand Challenge" in its own right. The past five years has seen a significant growth in biometric research resulting in the development of innovative sensors, robust and efficient algorithms for feature extraction and matching, enhanced test methodologies and novel applications. [+]These advances have resulted in robust, accurate, secure and cost effective biometric systems. The Handbook of Biometrics - an edited volume contributed by prominent invited researchers in Biometrics - describes the fundamentals as well as the latest advancements in the burgeoning field of biometrics. It is designed for professionals composed of practitioners and researchers in Biometrics, Pattern Recognition and Computer Security. The Handbook of Biometrics can be used as a primary textbook for an undergraduate biometrics class. This book is also suitable as a secondary textbook or reference for advanced-level students in computer science.
