How Computers Work

This explanation of how computers function is accompanied by a CD-ROM that gives an animated tour of the inner workings of a computer. This Millennium Edition has been updated to include information on such things as digital cameras, DVD drives, and e-books.

Fuzzy Logic And the Semantic Web

These are exciting times in the fields of Fuzzy Logic and the Semantic Web, and this book will add to the excitement, as it is the first volume to focus on the growing connections between these two fields. This book is expected to be a valuable aid to anyone considering the application of Fuzzy Logic to the Semantic Web, because it contains a number of detailed accounts of these combined fields, written by leading authors in several countries. The Fuzzy Logic field has been maturing for forty years. These years have witnessed a tremendous growth in the number and variety of applications, with a real-world impact across a wide variety of domains with humanlike behavior and reasoning. And we believe that in the coming years, the Semantic Web will be major field of applications of Fuzzy Logic.
This book, the first in the new series Capturing Intelligence, shows the positive role Fuzzy Logic, and more generally Soft Computing, can play in the development of the Semantic Web, filling... Fuzzy Logic And the Semantic Web

How Computers Work

Revolutionizing Product Development

Today, a company's capability to conceive and design quality prototypes and bring a variety of superior products to market quicker than its competitors is increasingly the focal point of competition, contend leading product development experts Steven Wheelwright and Kim Clark. Drawing on six years of in-depth, systematic, worldwide research, they present proven principles for developing the critical capabilities for speed, efficiency, and quality that have worked again and again in scores of successful Japanese, American, and European fast-cycle firms.
The authors argue that to survive, let alone succeed, today's companies must construct a new platform-- with new methodologies-- on which they can compete. Using their model for development strategies, Wheelwright and Clark show that firms can create a solid architecture for the integration of marketing, manufacturing, and design functions for problem solving and fast action-- particularly during the critical design-build-test cycles...

Reaction-diffusion Computers

The book introduces a hot topic of novel and emerging computing paradigms and architectures -computation by travelling waves in reaction-diffusion media. A reaction-diffusion computer is a massively parallel computing device, where the micro-volumes of the chemical medium act as elementary few-bit processors, and chemical species diffuse and react in parallel. In the reaction-diffusion computer both the data and the results of the computation are encoded as concentration profiles of the reagents, or local disturbances of concentrations, whilst the computation per se is performed via the spreading and interaction of waves caused by the local disturbances. The monograph brings together results of a decade-long study into designing experimental and simulated prototypes of reaction-diffusion computing devices for image processing, path planning, robot navigation, computational geometry, logics and artificial intelligence.
The book is unique because it gives a comprehensive presentation... Reaction-diffusion Computers

Using The Internet For Active Teaching and Learning

For courses in Computers in Education.
This accessible and engaging new book will help readers learn to use the Internet to support teaching and learning in today`s classrooms. Combining both theory and practice, it uses internet technologies and resources to enable project-based active learning in the classroom. Readers are provided with an instructional model for teaching and learning using the Internet called Web-Enhanced Learning
, helping them create web-enhanced learning activities based on projects that bring real-world problems into the classroom for students too interpret and solve.

Computers in the Medical Office

This revision incorporates the important changes both in the NDCMedisoft program and in the medical office environment. Computers in the Medical Office
offers training and applications using full-featured, state-of-the-art software and current, realistic medical office cases while building transferable computerized medical billing and scheduling skills. Although it is correlated to Medisoft software, students who complete CIMO learn the appropriate terminology and skills necessary to use any patient billing software program with minimal additional training.
