Efficiency and Scalability Methods for Computational Intellect
A book edited by Dr. Boris Igelnik, BMI Research, Inc., USA and Prof. Jacek Zurada, University of Louisville, USA
To be published by IGI Global: http://bit.ly/pov0xR
Introduction
The methods of computational modeling and simulation of intellect have been developing in various fields, such as digital signal processing, image processing, robotics, systems biology, medical and pharmaceuticals applications, defense, national security, space research, financial applications, business and management applications, etc. The topic is of great importance for information and management science and technology, both currently and in future. The proposed book will present a number of diverse methods and approaches to the problem of modeling and simulation of intellect, currently existing in the different areas; their perspectives; and will target computational efficiency and scalability of these methods.
The Overall Objective of the Book
This book is devoted to providing the current state-of-the-art and future perspectives of the theories and the applications of the computational modeling and simulation of intellect across a wide range of applications. The main themes of the publication are computational efficiency and scalability of the suggested methods. Researchers, instructors, designers of information and management systems, users of these systems, and graduate students will easily acquire the fundamental knowledge needed to be at the forefront of the research and to use it in the applications.
The Target Audience
The book is intended for research workers, instructors, designers of the information and management systems, users of these systems, and graduate students in related fields, who want a gentle but rigorous introduction to the computational modeling and simulation of intellect.
