Multi-Robot Systems


Book Description

This book is a collection of 29 excellent works and comprised of three sections: task oriented approach, bio inspired approach, and modeling/design. In the first section, applications on formation, localization/mapping, and planning are introduced. The second section is on behavior-based approach by means of artificial intelligence techniques. The last section includes research articles on development of architectures and control systems.




Organic Computing


Book Description

A Handbook of Information Technology


Book Description

Information technology (IT) can be collectively described as that used by man to gather, store and retrieve, manipulate and communicate data and information. Today , in the 'Information Age', this takes place over and across vast geographical, demographical, socio-political and economic scopes, and the ceasing of it will choke society, as know it today, to a pre-historic standstill. It is, understandably implemented through various aspects of computing and Electronic Technology. With the growing complexity of the information processing needs throughout fields as diverse as business, science, technology, exploration and entertainment, several issues involving data security, time complexity. Bandwidth and thought put, parallel and alternative computing technology and the technology used in an ever-increasing band of newer types of devices, are posing the most crucial questions to the future of society in general and IT in particular. The book is a collection of articles written by professors, industry persons and researchers if international repute and comprises the latest breakthrough sin the fields of Information Theory and Coding, Information Security, Next Generation Internet technology, Data Mining and Knowledge Management, Mobile Computing and Communication. Bioinformatics, Soft Computing, Multimedia Systems and Communication, Quantum Computing, Image Processing and other areas which together comprise IT. This book is a must read for those seeking to expand their knowledge about various aspects of Information Technology.
