Evolution Inclusions and Variation Inequalities for Earth Data Processing II (repost)

Mikhail Z. Zgurovsky, Valery S. Mel'nik, and Pavlo O. Kasyanov, "Evolution Inclusions and Variation Inequalities for Earth Data Processing II: Differential-Operator Inclusions and Evolution Variation Inequalities for Earth Data Processing"
Sp ringer | 2010 | ISBN: 3642138772 | 272 pages | PDF | 2,1 MB

Here, the authors present modern mathematical methods to solve problems of differential-operator inclusions and evolution variation inequalities which may occur in fields such as geophysics, aerohydrodynamics, or fluid dynamics. For the first time, they describe the detailed generalization of various approaches to the analysis of fundamentally nonlinear models and provide a toolbox of mathematical equations. These new mathematical methods can be applied to a broad spectrum of problems. Examples of these are phase changes, diffusion of electromagnetic, acoustic, vibro-, hydro- and seismoacoustic waves, or quantum mechanical effects. This is the second of two volumes dealing with the subject.

Evolution of Communication and Language in Embodied Agents (repost)

Stefano Nolfi, Marco Mirolli, "Evolution of Communication and Language in Embodied Agents"
Springer | 2009 | ISBN: 3642012493, 3642012507 | 313 pages | PDF | 4,9 MB

This field of research examines how embodied and situated agents, such as robots, evolve language and thus communicate with each other. This book is a comprehensive survey of the research in this emerging field.

The contributions explain the theoretical and methodological foundations of the field, and then illustrate the scientific and technological potentials and promising research directions. The book also provides descriptions of research experiments and related open software and hardware tools, allowing the reader to gain a practical knowledge of the topic.

The book will be of interest to scientists and undergraduate and graduate students in the areas of cognition, artificial life, artificial intelligence and linguistics.
