Simulation Gaming. Applications for Sustainable Cities and Smart Infrastructures


Book Description

This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 48th International Simulation and Gaming Association Conference, ISAGA 2018, held in Delft, The Netherlands, in July 2018. The 19 revised full papers included in the volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 27 submissions. The contributions to this book range from design thinking related to simulation gaming, the analysis of the consequences of design choices in games, to games for decision making, examples of games for business, climate change, maritime spatial planning, sustainable city development, supply chain, and much more.




Gmdh-methodology And Implementation In C (With Cd-rom)


Book Description

Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) is a typical inductive modeling method built on the principles of self-organization. Since its introduction, inductive modeling has been developed and applied to complex systems in areas like prediction, modeling, clusterization, system identification, as well as data mining and knowledge extraction technologies, to several fields including social science, science, engineering, and medicine.This book makes error-free codes available to end-users so that these codes can be used to understand the implementation of GMDH, and then create opportunities to further develop the variants of GMDH algorithms. C-language has been chosen because it is a basic language commonly taught in the first year in computer programming courses in most universities and colleges, and the compiled versions could be used for more meaningful practical applications where security is necessary.

Gmdh-methodology And Implementation In Matlab


Book Description

Group method of data handling (GMDH) is a typical inductive modeling method built on the principles of self-organization. Since its introduction, inductive modelling has been developed to support complex systems in prediction, clusterization, system identification, as well as data mining and knowledge extraction technologies in social science, science, engineering, and medicine.This is the first book to explore GMDH using MATLAB (matrix laboratory) language. Readers will learn how to implement GMDH in MATLAB as a method of dealing with big data analytics. Error-free source codes in MATLAB have been included in supplementary material (accessible online) to assist users in their understanding in GMDH and to make it easy for users to further develop variations of GMDH algorithms.




Meta-Learning in Computational Intelligence


Book Description

Computational Intelligence (CI) community has developed hundreds of algorithms for intelligent data analysis, but still many hard problems in computer vision, signal processing or text and multimedia understanding, problems that require deep learning techniques, are open. Modern data mining packages contain numerous modules for data acquisition, pre-processing, feature selection and construction, instance selection, classification, association and approximation methods, optimization techniques, pattern discovery, clusterization, visualization and post-processing. A large data mining package allows for billions of ways in which these modules can be combined. No human expert can claim to explore and understand all possibilities in the knowledge discovery process. This is where algorithms that learn how to learnl come to rescue. Operating in the space of all available data transformations and optimization techniques these algorithms use meta-knowledge about learning processes automatically extracted from experience of solving diverse problems. Inferences about transformations useful in different contexts help to construct learning algorithms that can uncover various aspects of knowledge hidden in the data. Meta-learning shifts the focus of the whole CI field from individual learning algorithms to the higher level of learning how to learn. This book defines and reveals new theoretical and practical trends in meta-learning, inspiring the readers to further research in this exciting field.




Applications of Artificial Intelligence in COVID-19


Book Description

The book examines the role of artificial intelligence during the COVID-19 pandemic, including its application in i) early warnings and alerts, ii) tracking and prediction, iii) data dashboards, iv) diagnosis and prognosis, v) treatments, and cures, and vi) social control. It explores the use of artificial intelligence in the context of population screening and assessing infection risks, and presents mathematical models for epidemic prediction of COVID-19. Furthermore, the book discusses artificial intelligence-mediated diagnosis, and how machine learning can help in the development of drugs to treat the disease. Lastly, it analyzes various artificial intelligence-based models to improve the critical care of COVID-19 patients.




Computational Intelligence Techniques for Bioprocess Modelling, Supervision and Control


Book Description

Computational Intelligence (CI) and Bioprocess are well-established research areas which have much to offer each other. Under the perspective of the CI area, Biop- cess can be considered a vast application area with a growing number of complex and challenging tasks to be dealt with, whose solutions can contribute to boosting the development of new intelligent techniques as well as to help the refinement and s- cialization of many of the already existing techniques. Under the perspective of the Bioprocess area, CI can be considered a useful repertoire of theories, methods and techniques that can contribute and offer interesting alternative approaches for solving many of its problems, particularly those hard to solve using conventional techniques. Although throughout the past years CI and Bioprocess areas have accumulated substantial specific knowledge and progress has been quick and with a high degree of success, we believe there is still a long way to go in order to use the potentialities of the available CI techniques and knowledge at their full extent, as tools for supporting problem solving in bioprocesses. One of the reasons is the fact that both areas have progressed steadily and have been continuously accumulating and refining specific knowledge; another reason is the high level of technical expertise demanded by each of them. The acquisition of technical skills, experience and good insights in either of the two areas is very demanding and a hard task to be accomplished by any professional.
