CECNet2014 was hosted by Hubei University of Science and Technology, China, with the main objective of providing a comprehensive global forum for experts and participants from acadamia to exchange ideas and presenting results of ongoing research in the most state-of-the-art areas of Consumer Electronics Technology, Communication Engineering and Technology, Wireless Communications Enginneering and Technology, and Computer Engineering and Technology...read more

Product Description: This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Brain Inspired Cognitive Systems, BICS 2013, held in Beijing, China in June 2013. The 45 high-quality papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 68 submissions...read more

Product Description: Complex Systems are made up of numerous interacting sub-components. Non-linear interactions of these components or agents give rise to emergent behavior observable at the global scale. Agent-based modeling and simulation is a proven paradigm which has previously been used for effective computational modeling of complex systems in various domains...read more

Product Description: In this book common sense computing techniques are further developed and applied to bridge the semantic gap between word-level natural language data and the concept-level opinions conveyed by these. In particular, the ensemble application of graph mining and multi-dimensionality reduction techniques is exploited on two common sense knowledge bases to develop a novel intelligent engine for open-domain opinion mining and sentiment analysis...read more

Product Description: Brain Inspired Cognitive Systems - BICS 2010 aims to bring together leading scientists and engineers who use analytic and synthetic methods both to understand the astonishing processing properties of biological systems and specifically of the brain, and to exploit such knowledge to advance engineering methods to build artificial systems with higher levels of cognitive competence...read more

Product Description: The perception-action cycle is the circular flow of information that takes place between the organism and its environment in the course of a sensory-guided sequence of behaviour towards a goal. Each action causes changes in the environment that are analyzed bottom-up through the perceptual hierarchy and lead to the processing of further action, top-down through the executive hierarchy, toward motor effectors...read more

Product Description: This volume brings together, through a peer-revision process, the advanced research results obtained by the European COST Action 2102: Cross-Modal Analysis of Verbal and Nonverbal Communication, primarily discussed for the first time at the Second COST 2102 International Training School on “Development of Multimodal Int- faces: Active Listening and Synchrony” held in Dublin, Ireland, March 23–27 2009...read more

Product Description: This intriguing book constitutes the thoroughly refereed postproceedings of the International Conference on Non-Linear Speech Processing, NOLISP 2007, held in Paris, France, in May 2007. The 24 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions...read more

Product Description: Listen to any news broadcast today and the message comes through loud and clear: Islam is a religion of violence and behind every Muslim there lurks a potential terrorist. Islam is a threat to values of the Christian West. They are like oil and water...read more
