für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This book examines the role of an information system in the implementation of legislation led reform. The book applies a range of social theories such as Actor-Network Theory, the Due Process Model, and Structuration Theory in conjunction with historical and contextual analysis, tracing the emergence of the explicit socio-political conditions, within which the information system was to be deployed. Legislation led reform is viewed from three different perspectives. First, by examining the network of aligned interests second, by analysing the inclusion of a new actor in an existing network and third, by focusing on the institutionalisation of the network. The book concludes that the institutionalisation of a network of actors with aligned interests can be supported by information system. Such an information system would have, as inscribed program of action, the functionality which would be derived from the legislation. When enrolled as an actor into the existing network, the information system ensures, through its routine use, that all actors in the network interpret certain collective interests (related to the inscribed program of action) consistently and apply them uniformly. ····· 10361101623
für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Vision is a very important sense to humans and animals. It is mimicked for robots with cameras. However, conventional cameras have a small field of view, which implies that important difficulties might be encountered (such as motion ambiguity, occlusion and lack of information), particularly in robotics. This book is therefore dedicated to omnidirectional vision systems, especially catadioptric cameras, which permit these difficulties to be overcome. A catadioptric camera is a special type of omnidirectional system: it is composed of a camera and a convex mirror, permitting a great enlargement of the field of view and thus acquiring much more information from the environment. The objective of this book is to study the role of omnidirectional vision for robotic applications such as low-level feature extraction, target tracking, motion estimation and 3D reconstruction, while addressing the fundamental issues pertaining to omnidirectional vision. This book is accompanied with OmniToolbox v2.1 , a Matlab toolbox dedicated to omnidirectional vision (freely available on the website of the authors), so that the readers of this book can start working with omnidirectional images directly. ····· 10361101616

für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Semi-supervised learning (SSL) has grown into an important research area in machine learning, motivated by the fact that human labeling is expensive while unlabeled data are relatively easy to obtain. A basic assumption in traditional SSL is that unlabeled data and labeled data share the same distribution. However, this assumption may be incorrect when unlabeled data have a shifted covariance, or come from a related but different domain, or contain irrelevant data. With the divergence of the distribution of unlabeled data, very little academic literature exists on how to choose or adapt machine learning algorithms to different settings of unlabeled data. This book, therefore, introduces a new unified view on learning with different settings of unlabeled data. This book consists of two parts: the first part analyzes the fundamental assumptions of SSL and proposes a few efficient SSL algorithms the second part discusses three learning frameworks to deal with other settings of unlabeled data. This book should be helpful to researchers or graduate students in areas with abundance of unlabeled data, such as computer vision, bioinformatics, web mining, and natural language processing. ····· 10361101597

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Knowledge discovery and data mining from time changing data streams and concept drift handling on data streams have become important topics in the machine learning recently. Machine learning offers promise of a solution, but the field mainly focuses on achieving high accuracy when data supply is limited. The challenges that are faced by information processing and classification in particular, are related to the need to cope with huge volume of data, to process data streams online and in real time and to handle concept drift. When tackling with data stream, incremental classification algorithms are required. An ensemble of classifiers has several advantages over single classifier methods. So we have designed and implemented a new ensemble classifier which is adaptive and efficient for data streams classification. Adaptive sliding window and adaptive size hoeffding tree techniques are used in this algorithm. This technique should helpful to online processing of data streams and should be especially useful to network monitoring systems and financial industries or anyone else who may be handling data streams. ····· 10361101551

Automatic recognition of human face based on facial expression can be important component of natural human-machine interface. It may also be used in behavioral science. Although human can recognize the face practically without any effort, but reliable face recognition by machine is a challenge. This book presents a new approach for recognizing the face of a person considering the expression of the same human face at different instant of time. This methodology is developed combining Eigenface method for feature extraction and k-Means clustering for identification of the human face. In experimental purpose, AT&T face database is used which contains a set of 40 people with 10 images with different facial expressions at the different illumination. Experimental results demonstrate the efficacy of the approach. This book is written such a manner that it will help researchers to work on the area of image processing and pattern recognition. It also helps graduate students to know the background and basic theories of different face recognition methods. ····· 10361101520
für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Companies adopt Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems in order to streamline their business processes and to integrate their information systems. ERP implementations have reported failures e.g. because of a lack of integration into existing legacy systems or insufficient training and support for the business processes. User-Centred Design (UCD) aims at improving the effectiveness, efficiency, and user satisfaction of the system to be designed. In a Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) - type ERP system implementation, the user requirements are not used for designing an ERP system. Instead, the existing functionality of an ERP system is matched with the user requirements. Either the organisation adapts to the ERP system functionality or the ERP system is modified according to organisational requirements. This book provides a model of how UCD can be applied in the ERP implementation process. The focus is on how UCD can be applied in ERP implementation requirements analysis, with the aim to improve the success of ERP implementation. ····· 10361101489

The suggested methods of spatial domain hiding perform data hiding into higher nibbles or moderatory bits (i.e. bits 2` to 5`) of an 8-bit host image pixel using data matching or substitution with pixel gray value error minimization respectively. Both these techniques offer higher robustness as compared to commonly used LSB technique. In addition a new algorithm for achieving higher robustness as compared to generic DCT algorithm has been proposed based on long-tail modeling of mid-frequency DCT coefficients. The work contained also includes study on robust medical data hiding along with compaction using computationally simple Haar wavelet transform for illustrating its feasibility in secure telemedicine application along with a new effective technique of steganalysis based on generating relative frequency histograms. ····· 10361101448

für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Knowledge Representation (KR) languages such as OWL (Web Ontology Language), offer the possibility of computationally exploiting biological knowledge, by codifying it in the axioms of bio-ontologies. Bio-ontologies are widely used in life sciences for knowledge management. Knowledge is, however, often represented in bio-ontologies without following rigorous principles of modelling and the resulting bio-ontologies are axiomatically lean. Therefore knowledge cannot be fully computationally exploited. A solution is provided by the use of Ontology Design Patterns (ODPs). ODPs are thoroughly documented and efficient solutions for recurrent problems encountered when building ontologies. In order for ODPs to be efficiently accessed by bio-ontologists, an online catalogue of ODPs has been created. Such ODPs can be applied automatically with the Ontology PreProcessor Language (OPPL). The infrastructure for applying ODPs formed by the catalogue and OPPL has been used for applying ODPs in bio-ontologies like the Cell Type Ontology. The results of such application have been evaluated to assess the applied ODPs and the change on ontology quality. ····· 10361101364

When responding to extreme events, very often there are both alternative actions that might be considered, and far more requests for actions than can be executed immediately. The relative desirability of each option for action could be a collaborative expression of a significant number of emergency managers and experts trying to manage the most desirable alternatives at any given time, in real time. This same decision process could be used for a number of tasks but will be designed for distributed dynamic decision making during time critical phases of extreme events. This is because the proposed system is specially designed to save time, remove ambiguities, and decrease uncertainty, all of which are major challenges described in the literature on time critical decision making during the volatile time critical phases of emergency response. ····· 10361101142

There are many software rearchitecting frameworks which are based upon different concepts and context-related issues for a specific application or programming language, such as Rigi, Ciao, SPOOL, and Symphony. These rearchitecting frameworks were compared and analyzed, in this work, using generic architecture characteristics. Based on this comparison, a new model for rearchitecting frameworks is proposed. As an implementation, a new framework was built according to the model standards. This is Software Rearchitecting Action Framework` (SRAF). Then an automated Java tool, Rearchitecting Tool Support (RTS), is designed to validate the framework. In this book we propose an discuss the SRAF and RTS which we argue it will assist the architect in deciding which kind of architectural style is the best to describe the system, and hence, to enhance it. Hence, they provide good methodology for obtaining a suitable level of documentation of the undocumented open source object-oriented software. ····· 10361101133
