Data Mining and Warehousing: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools and Applications provides a complete assembly of the research available in this emerging and increasingly important field of research. This multi-volume collection offers tools, designs and outcomes of the utilization of data mining and warehousing technologies, such as algorithms, concept lattices, multidimensional data, and online analytical processing.

Here are the refereed proceedings of the First International Conference on Knowledge Science, Engineering and Management, KSEM 2006, held in Guilin, China in August 2006 in conjunction with PRICAI 2006. The book presents 51 revised full papers and 57 revised short papers together with 4 invited talks, reporting a wealth of new ideas and current research results in the broad areas of knowledge science, knowledge engineering, and knowledge management.

We met again in front of the statue of Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz in the city of Leipzig. Leibniz, a famous son of Leipzig, planned automatic logical inference using symbolic computation, aimed to collate all human knowledge. Today, artificial intelligence deals with large amounts of data and knowledge and finds new information using machine learning and data mining. Machine learning and data mining are irreplaceable subjects and tools for the theory of pattern recognition and in applications...

This book is the fifth in a series of annual surveys of optical storage technology, concepts, product developments and applications. It includes analyses of read-only and read/write technologies and examines new products under development or introduced during 1989. The categorization of available products is emphasized by providing an understanding of their characteristics, advantages and limitations. The overall conceptual presentation retains its utility and readers should be able to relate ne...

This book constitutes the proceedings of the First International Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation, and Personalization, held in Trento, Italy, on June 22-26, 2009. This annual conference was merged from the biennial conference series User Modeling, UM, and the conference on Adaptive Hypermedia and Adaptive Web-Based Systems, AH. The 53 papers presented together with 3 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 125 submissions. The tutorials and workshops were organized in top...

This is the proceedings of the SIGAL International Symposium on Algorithms held at CSK Information Education Center, Tokyo, Japan, August 16-18, 1990. SIGAL (Special Interest Group on Algorithms) was organized within the Information Processing Society of Japan in 1988 to encourage research in the field of discrete algorithms, and held 6-8 research meetings each year. This symposium is the first international symposium organized by SIGAL. In response to the call for papers, 88 papers were submitt...

Logics have, for many years, laid claim to providing a formal basis for the study and development of applications and systems in arti?cial intelligence. With the depth and maturity of formalisms, methodologies and logic-based systems - day, this claim is stronger than ever. The European Conference on Logics in Arti?cial Intelligence (or Journ' ees Europ' eennes sur la Logique en Intelligence Arti?cielle, JELIA) began back in 1988, as a workshop, in response to the need for a European forum for t...

Seven Deadliest USB Attacks provides a comprehensive view of the most serious types of Universal Serial Bus (USB) attacks. While the book focuses on Windows systems, Mac, Linux, and UNIX systems are equally susceptible to similar attacks. If you need to keep up with the latest hacks, attacks, and exploits effecting USB technology, then this book is for you. This book pinpoints the most dangerous hacks and exploits specific to USB, laying out the anatomy of these attacks including how to make you...

Centred on the impact of information and communication technology in socio-technical environments and its support of human activity systems, the study of information systems remains a distinctive focus in the area of computer science research. Information Systems Research and Exploring Social Artifacts: Approaches and Methodologies discusses the approaches and methodologies currently being used in the field on information systems. This reference source covers a wide variety of socio-technical...

This volume contains the papers selected for presentation at the 10th Int- national Conference on Rough Sets, Fuzzy Sets, Data Mining, and Granular Computing, RSFDGrC 2005, organized at the University of Regina, August 31st-September 3rd, 2005. This conference followed in the footsteps of inter- tional events devoted to the subject of rough sets, held so far in Canada, China, Japan,Poland,Sweden, and the USA. RSFDGrC achievedthe status of biennial international conference, starting from 2003 in...

This book provides a coherent and complete overview of various Question Answering (QA) systems. It covers three main categories based on the source of the data that can be unstructured text (TextQA), structured knowledge graphs (KBQA), and the combination of both. Developing a QA system usually requires using a combination of various important techniques, including natural language processing, information retrieval and extraction, knowledge graph processing, and machine learning. After a genera...

This report examines contemporary trends in data storage technology. It explores issues such as the expanding role of networking, the Internet and intranets and the impact these technologies will have on the enterprise.

Style is a fundamental and ubiquitous aspect of the human experience: Everyone instantly and constantly assesses people and things according to their individual styles, academics establish careers by researching musical, artistic, or architectural styles, and entire industries maintain themselves by continuously creating and marketing new styles. Yet what exactly style is and how it works are elusive: We certainly know it when we see it, but there is no shared and clear understanding of the dive...
