Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence and Applications (FAIA)

Eleventh Scandinavian Conference on Artificial Intelligence

This book contains the proceedings of the 11th Scandinavian Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AI), held in Trondheim in May 2011. It presents 17 full papers and an additional six short papers and posters carefully selected from the submissions after thorough peer review. The papers are arranged in four main sections: machine learning, planning, application of AI and robotics and cognition.

Topics covered in the first section include: performance user centered qualities generated by supervised learning algorithms; parallel implementation of the random forests algorithm and a spatial clustering algorithm for management zone delineation. The planning section includes papers on parallel plans; including velocity constraints for trajectory planning on grids; and path consistency to solve the Boolean satisfiability problem. Application of AI addresses subjects such as anomaly detection, as well as accurate motion compensation in minimally invasive treatment. Finally, the robotics and cognition section includes contributions on how relatively simple attractor dynamics can produce complex behavior and a knowledge based system for supporting the reconfiguration of industrial robots.

With its broad range of subjects, this book will be of interest to all those with an interest in, or whose work involves AI.

Proceedings of the 20th Italian Workshop on Neural Nets

This book contains the proceedings of the annual meeting of the Italian Neural Network Society (SIREN), held in Vietri sul Mare, Italy in 2010.

Subjects covered include methodological and implementational topics, which are grouped together into chapters devoted to: models, signal processing and other applications. There are also two chapters which refer to special sessions devoted to current focuses in the field, which this year concern the dynamics of biological networks, and nonlinear systems for multimodal human-machine interaction; the latter representing a special activity of the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST).

Providing an insight into the latest news and ideas from a group of international experts, this volume will be of value to all those with an interest in neural networks and related fields.
