Satellite images often suffer from interpretability issues and lost details due to sensor limitations. This book exploits deep learning to boost minute details and improve classification, showing how super-resolution improves spatial detail for precise decision-making.
This volume presents research merging classical measurement theory with modern data science. Discover novel methods for superior measurement design, robust data evaluation, and efficient instrumentation implementations.
Virtual and Augmented Reality
This book explores the latest research in education design for virtual and augmented reality. Using numerous studies and examples, it will help the reader gain a better understanding of the nature of these realities and their applications in theory and practice.
This book explores two pillars of dynamic systems engineering: modeling, analysis, and control, and model-based fault diagnosis. It equips readers with the tools to detect, isolate, and mitigate defects, providing the skills to identify and remedy potential system failures.
As new discoveries transform our view of the universe, this book focuses on the core questions: Is any living organism only the result of programming? What of the human being? Are we a robot participating in the living world or a consciousness in a biological habitat?
This book offers thought experiments exploring digital transformation’s disruptions to technology, knowledge, and human identity. The essays are “short cuts”—brief, bold excursions that challenge conventional paths and invite readers into uncertain yet revelatory terrain.
Mainframe Computer Systems
This volume describes General Electric’s venture into mainframe computers. GE pioneered commercial timesharing, and its hardware was used to develop the BASIC language and the influential Multics system. Unable to compete with IBM, GE sold its computer division to Honeywell.
High-Performance Computing and Artificial Intelligence
This essential resource explores the synergy between High-Performance Computing (HPC) and AI. Learn how HPC accelerates AI to tackle complex problems, while AI optimizes HPC systems, driving breakthroughs in healthcare, climate science, finance, and manufacturing.
Neuroinformatics and Semantic Representations
This book proposes a neural network for structural information analysis. Inspired by the human brain, this approach reconstructs a model of the world to interpret behaviour and enables automatic semantic analysis of text, constructing a semantic portrait from any stream.
Navigating the Future
This book explores artificial intelligence’s dual role as a solution and a risk for humanity’s most pressing challenges. It discusses the ethical governance needed to guide AI’s transformative potential towards a sustainable, equitable, and peaceful future.
This book explains object-oriented programming concepts like classes, objects, inheritance, and polymorphism in a simple manner. It includes a large number of examples in C#, VB.Net, and Python, making it an indispensable resource to enhance your system development skills.
This book covers new deep neural networks that synthesize their optimal structure in online mode. Based on the principle of self-organization, this approach solves a wide class of Data Stream Mining problems, including pattern recognition, forecasting, and classification.
Trusted Routing Mechanisms
As our business and private lives rely on computing systems, digital security is imperative. This book offers solutions that ensure the integrity and confidentiality of network traffic by protecting data from third parties.
This book provides theory on artificial intelligence techniques and insight on application development. It is for academicians, practitioners, and students seeking a deep understanding of the latest paradigms in AI to develop intelligent systems for the benefit of humanity.
This collection of essays tackles classic questions: What is life? What is consciousness? It explores whether evolution is predetermined, if science and spirituality can harmonize, and if AI is at odds with the human spirit. Each chapter includes science fiction stories on AI.
Digital transformation has changed marketing, but its impact on consumer behaviour still requires exploration. This book sheds light on the challenges and solutions for companies, investigating customer experience, influencer marketing, and trust for the online consumer.
This groundbreaking study introduces an innovative approach to biometric authentication using photoplethysmographic (PPG) signals. Discover how optical sensors extract these unique biometric traits to achieve an exceptional accuracy rate of 99.46%, revolutionizing identification.
First Generation Mainframes
This volume describes the IBM computer systems that influenced architecture in the 1950s and 1960s. These modular systems featured a common architecture for peripherals, the first operating systems, and groundbreaking software like the FORTRAN programming language.
A Global Approach to Data Value Maximization
A multitude of approaches and techniques can be applied to extract the maximum informative value from complex data sets, many of which are discussed here. Dell’Aversana begins with the domain of geosciences, before moving on to various other scientific and engineering sectors.
