Reflecting recent advances in the field of data mining and knowledge discovery achieved by Francophone scientists in France and elsewhere, this collection of extended and reworked papers were originally presented at the EGC 2009 conference in Strasbourg.

This book introduces Local Binary Patterns (LBP), arguably one of the most powerful texture descriptors, and LBP variants. This volume provides the latest reviews of the literature and a presentation of some of the best LBP variants by researchers at the forefront of textual analysis research and research on LBP descriptors and variants.

E-Learning Paradigms and Applications

Machine learning builds models of the world using training data from the application domain and prior knowledge about the problem.

Continuing where the last volume left off, this publication covers cutting-edge research into intelligent machines, including innovative applications such as document processing, language translation, and lightweight reprogramming for wireless sensor networks.

This book is the first single volume that brings together the topics of serious games, alternative realities, and play therapy.

Multimedia services involve processing, transmission and retrieval of multiple forms of information. With this view in mind, researchers are working on fusing intelligent paradigms such as arti?cial neural networks, swarm intelligence, arti?cial immune systems, evolutionary computing and multiagents with multimedia services.

Research in multi-agent systems offers a promising technology for problems with networks, online trading and negotiations but also social structures and communication.

This book addresses the major issues in the Web data management related to technologies and infrastructures, methodologies and techniques as well as applications and implementations. Emphasis is placed on Web engineering and technologies, Web graph managing, searching and querying and the importance of social Web.

The series "Studies in Computational Intelligence" (SCI) publishes new developments and advances in the various areas of computational intelligence ¿ quickly and with a high quality. The intent is to cover the theory, applications, and design methods of computational intelligence, as embedded in the fields of engineering, computer science, physics and life science, as well as the methodologies behind them. The series contains monographs, lecture notes and edited volumes in computational intelligence spanning the areas of neural networks, connectionist systems, genetic algorithms, evolutionary computation, artificial intelligence, cellular automata, self-organizing systems, soft computing, fuzzy systems, and hybrid intelligent systems. Critical to both contributors and readers are the short publication time and world-wide distribution - this permits a rapid and broad dissemination of research results. The purpose of the 1st ACIS International Conference on Computers, Networks, Systems, and Industrial Engineering (CNSI 2011) was held on May23-25, 2011 in Jeju, Jeju Island, South Korea is to bring together scientist, engineers, computer users, students to share their experiences and exchange new ideas, and research results about all aspects (theory, applications and tools) of computer and information science, and to discuss the practical challenges encountered along the way and the solutions adopted to solve them The conference organizers selected the best 22 papers from those papers accepted for presentation at the conference in order to publish them in this volume.  The papers were chosen based on review scores submitted by members of the program committee, and underwent further rigorousrounds of review.

In a rapidly evolving world of knowledge and technology, do you ever wonder how hydrology is catching up? This book takes the angle of computational hydrology and envisions one of the future directions, namely, quantitative integration of high-quality hydrologic field data with geologic, hydrologic, chemical, atmospheric, and biological information to characterize and predict natural systems in hydrological sciences.Intelligent computation and information fusion are the key words. The aim is to provide both established scientists and graduate students with a summary of recent developments in this topic. The chapters of this edited volume cover some of the most important ingredients for quantitative hydrological information fusion, including data fusion techniques, interactive computational environments, and supporting mathematical and numerical methods. Real-life applications of hydrological information fusion are also addressed.
