This research book proposes a general conceptual framework for the development of automation in human-agents environments that will allow human- agent teams to work effectively and efficiently. We examine various schemes to implement artificial intelligence techniques in agents. The text is directed to the scientists, application engineers, professors and students of all disciplines, interested in the agency methodology and applications.
In our age of technology, computer programming has never been more important. This introductory text breaks down programming into its most fundamental concepts. Readers discover what it means to be a programmer as they explore the types of programs available and what they are able to do. Essential programs, computer language, and syntax are covered in an accessible style and eye-catching format. Accompanied by full-color photographs, fast facts, and a final activity, this book is a reader's first step into the world of computer programming.
Along with hardware, software is the other half of what makes computers run. In this easy-to-follow text, readers take a first look at software and the role it plays in the world of computing. They are introduced to relevant ideas and terminology with the help of a simple glossary and colorful photographs. The different types of software are introduced, including system and programming applications. Fast facts provide an additional layer for readers, while follow-up activities allow for extending learning off the page.
Algorithms help computers do incredible things. In this straightforward book, readers are introduced to the inner workings of computers by learning the role of algorithms. Easy-to-follow text explains what algorithms are and how they help computers carry out all kinds of tasks. Real-world examples provide readers with a fundamental understanding of concepts such as functions, conditions, and sequencing. Complemented by vivid photographs, fast facts, and a helpful glossary, this book culminates in an activity that allows readers to create their own simple algorithm.
A computer alone can do amazing things, but many computers working together can change the world. This easy-to-follow text invites readers to explore the world of computer networks as they learn what these networks are and how they work. Each colorful spread examines one part of a network using simple language to explain relevant concepts and terminology. Readers will learn about networks of all sizes, and find out just what kind of network the Internet is. Fast facts and a final activity add to this high-interest first look at networks and their place in the age of technology.
Artistic creation has proven remarkably resistant to philosophical analysis. Artists have long struggled to explain how they do what they do, and philosophers have struggled along with them. This study does not attempt to offer a comprehensive account of all creativity or all art. Instead it tries to identify an essential feature of an activity that has been cloaked in mystery for as long as history records. Jeff Mitscherling and Paul Fairfield argue that the process by which art is created has a good deal in common with the experience of the audience of a work, and that both experiences may be described phenomenologically in ways that show surprising affinities with what artists themselves often report.
Computers "think" in terms of data and databases. In this simple text, readers find out exactly what that means in the world of technology. They take a first look at what data is and how computers use it to do all the things they can do. Using easy-to-follow examples, readers are introduced to the fundamental concepts of databases, how they are used in the real world, and how computers use them to find the information they need. Presented with eye-catching photographs, this book includes fast facts and a fun activity that will captivate readers as they build their knowledge of computers.
