Review Artificial Intelligence in Real-Time Control 2000 (IFAC Proceedings Volumes) / Pergamon:This Proceedings contains the papers presented at the 9th IFAC AIRTC'2000 Symposium on "Artificial Intelligence in Real-Time Control 2000", held at Budapest Polytechnic, Hungary, on 2 - 4 October. AIRTC'2000 builds on the excellent reputation of previous meetings in the series for providing top-quality papers in this important research field. A positive development illustrated by this Proceedings is a new trend towards pragmatism in the research field. Examples of this trend are: an increase in the number of actual industrial applications; support for more widespread use of new sophisticated technologies (e. g. materials design); further intertwining of artificial intelligence and control theory methods that reduces the reliance on "blind faith", still too often associated with AI methods. Many things have changed since the first AIRTC event in 1988. Two examples illustrate the change in the general attitude of the IFAC family: in 1990, one of the major closing presentations of the IFAC World Congress warned the control community about the "coming hordes" of AI people. In 1999, one of the plenary papers at the IFAC World Congress pointed out that the AI based methods form a natural extension of control theory to the class of non-linear systems with incomplete information (at least as far as the optimisation is concerned). This contrast in attitudes shows how, during the past decade, many AI people have embraced control theory and many control people have learned the basics of AI. [+]This Proceedings serves to continue this excellent dialogue, by providing many quality papers which link both fields.

Review Spatial Database Systems: Design, Implementation and Project Management (GeoJournal Library) / Springer:This first of a kind book places spatial data within the broader domain of information technology (IT) while providing a comprehensive and coherent explanation of the guiding principles, methods, implementation and operational management of spatial databases within the workplace. The text explains the key concepts, issues and processes of spatial data implementation and provides a holistic management perspective that complements the technical aspects of spatial data stressed in other textbooks. In this respect, this book is unique in its coverage of spatial database principles and architecture, database modelling including UML, database and spatial data standards, spatial data infrastructure, database implementation, and workplace-oriented project management including user needs study and end user education. The text first overviews the current state of spatial information technology and it concludes with a speculative account of likely future developments. Cutting edge research and practical workplace needs are defined and explained. Topics covered, among others, include strategies for end user education, current spatial data standards and their importance, legal issues and liabilities in the ownership and use of spatial data, spatial metadata use within distributed databases, the Internet and Web-based solutions to database deployment, quality assurance and quality control in database implementation and use, spatial decision support, and spatial data mining. The book applies equally to senior undergraduate and graduate courses and students, as well as spatial data managers and practitioners already in the workplace. It will enhance their technical and human-resource based understanding of spatial data management. Certification courses that seek to prepare students for careers in the spatial information industry and courses targeted at enhancing needed geospatial workplace knowledge and skills will benefit greatly from its content.

Review Introduction to Design and Analysis of Experiments / Key College:Data analysis is an interpretive activity. George Cobb's goals in Introduction to Design and Analysis of Experiments are to explain how to choose sound and suitable design structures and to engage the student in understanding the interpretive and constructive nature of data analysis and experimental design. Developed over years of classroom use, this text can be used as an introduction to statistics emphasizing experimental design. Technical prerequisites are kept to a minimum. It can also be used as an elementary graduate survey course. Cobb's approach and careful exposition allow students to build a deep understanding of statistical concepts over time as they analyze and design experiments. He presents the field of statistics to students as a matrix, rather than a hierarchy, of related concepts. This text introduces the main concepts of statistical thinking in the context of experimental design and ANOVA, allowing the material to be covered in half of the usual time. Introduction to Design and Analysis of Experiments was originally published by Springer-Verlag, New York and is now being reprinted by Key College Publishing. It is available for sale from either publisher.

Review Data Modeling Master Class Training Manual: Steve Hoberman`s Best Practices Approach to Understanding and Applying Fundamentals Through Advanced Modeling Techniques / Technics Publications, LLC:This is the training manual for the Data Modeling Master Class that Steve Hoberman teaches onsite and through public classes. This text can be purchased prior to attending the Master Class, the latest course schedule and detailed description can be found on Steve Hoberman`s website. The Master Class is a complete course on data modeling, containing four days of practical techniques for producing solid relational and dimensional data models. After learning modeling concepts and terms, you will apply a best practices approach to building and validating data models through the Data Model Scorecard™. You will learn not just how to build a data model, but also how to build a data model well. Challenging exercises and workshops will reinforce the material and enable you to apply these techniques in your current projects. Steve is an excellent presenter, keeping his audience engaged while covering in-depth relational and dimensional modeling techniques. His entertaining style combined with his many real world examples and exercises, held our interest throughout the course. S. DeCandia, Pfizer Global Manufacturing In my long professional career, I have participated in many training seminars but I have never encountered a class in which the subject had been so thoroughly considered and presented in such a clear and engaging manor. [+]As a fairly new, but full time data modeler, I expect to use the things that I learned in this class every day. My only regret is that the class had to end. G. Schmid, Travelers Insurance This was the most comprehensive, informative, energetic, interesting and just plain FUN class I have ever taken on the subject of Data Modeling. G. Werner, Long Island Railroad Part 1: Modeling Basics Assuming no prior knowledge of data modeling, we will begin this section with an entertaining exercise that will illustrate an important gap filled by data models. Next, we will explain data modeling concepts and terminology. We will also explore each component on a data model and practice reading business rules. Part 2: Overview to the Data Model Scorecard™ The Scorecard is a set of ten categories for validating a data model. We will explore best practices from the perspectives of both the modeler and reviewer, and you will be provided with a template to use on your current projects. Part 3: Understanding subject area, logical, and physical data models The subject area model captures a business need within a well-defined scope; the logical data model captures an application-independent business solution; and the physical data model captures the technical solution by focusing on factors such as performance and security. Part 4: Ensuring the model captures the requirements We will focus on techniques such as the use of spreadsheets and business assertions to ensure the data model meets the business requirements. Part 5: Validating model scope We will focus on techniques for validating that the scope of the requirements matches the scope of the model. If the scope of the model is greater than the requirements, we have a situation known as scope creep. If the model scope is less than the requirements, we will be leaving information out of the resulting application. Other training modules include: Following acceptable modeling principles Determining the optimal use of generic concepts Applying consistent naming standards Arranging the model for maximum understanding Writing clear, correct, and consistent definitions Matching the model with the enterprise Comparing the meta data with the data.
