Fuzzy Logic Theory and ApplicationsPart I and Part IIby Lotfi A Zadeh (UC Berkeley) & Rafik A Aliev(Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University, Azerbaijan)

Nowadays, voluminous textbooks and mono-graphs in fuzzy logic are devoted only to separate or some combination of separate facets of fuzzy logic. There is a lack of a single book that presents a comprehensive and self-contained theory of fuzzy logic and its applications.

Written by world renowned authors, Lofti Zadeh, also known as the Father of Fuzzy Logic, and Rafik Aliev, who are pioneers in fuzzy logic and fuzzy sets, this unique compendium includes all the principal facets of fuzzy logic such as logical, fuzzy-set-theoretic, epistemic and relational. Theoretical problems are prominently illustrated and illuminated by numerous carefully worked-out and thought-through examples.

Readership: Researchers, academics, professionals, graduate and undergraduate students in fuzzy logic and its applications.

An Introduction to the Analysis of Algorithms (3rd Edition)by Michael Soltys (California State University Channel Islands, USA)

A successor to the first and second editions, this updated and revised book is a leading companion guide for students and engineers alike, specifically software engineers who design algorithms. While succinct, this edition is mathematically rigorous, covering the foundations for both computer scientists and mathematicians with interest in the algorithmic foundations of Computer Science.

Besides expositions on traditional algorithms such as Greedy, Dynamic Programming and Divide & Conquer, the book explores two classes of algorithms that are often overlooked in introductory textbooks: Randomised and Online algorithms — with emphasis placed on the algorithm itself. The book also covers algorithms in Linear Algebra, and the foundations of Computation. The coverage of Randomized and Online algorithms is timely: the former have become ubiquitous due to the emergence of cryptography, while the latter are essential in numerous fields as diverse as operating systems and stock market predictions.

Readership: Students of undergraduate courses in algorithms and programming and associated professionals.

“It’s well written and is peppered with sections titled, ‘exercises and complements’. Clearly the reader needs to take these very seriously. I personally find exercises in category theory and homological algebra very satisfying because of their architecture and their minimalist quality: it’s a lot of fun for it all to come down to dancing all over a commutative diagram or two and to draw a lot of arrows. I like the subject a great deal, and I think this is a good book to learn it from.” MAA Reviews

Dynamic VisionFrom Images to Face Recognitionby Shaogang Gong (Queen Mary and WestfieldCollege), Stephen J McKenna (University of Dundee)& Alexandra Psarrou (University of Westminster)

“Dynamic Vision is a unique book. To my knowledge, there is no comparable book that covers the broad and complex domain of adaptive visual recognition in such a readable way. The clear presentation style helps the reader to appreciate the painstaking work involved in making the automatic recognition of faces possible iK the authors were successful in providing ‘ a coherent and unified treatment of the issue from a computational and systems perspective’ and highly recommend the book to any researcher interested in face recognition or visual recognition in general.” Cognitive Systems Research

This book describes the latest models and algorithms that are capable of performing face recognition in a dynamic setting. The key question is how to design computer vision and machine learning algorithms that can operate robustly and quickly under poorly controlled and changing conditions. Consideration of face recognition as a problem in dynamic vision is perhaps both novel and important. The algorithms described have numerous potential applications in areas such as visual surveillance, verification, access control, video-conferencing, multimedia and visually mediated interaction.

Readership: Researchers in image processing, computer vision, neural networks, artificial intelligence, pattern recognition, robotics and real-time systems.

This journal publishes both applications and theory-oriented articles on new developments in the fields of pattern recognition and artificial intelligence, and is of interest to both researchers in industry and academia. From the beginning, there has always been a close relationship between the disciplines of pattern recognition and artificial intelligence. The recognition and understanding of sensory data like speech or images, which are major concerns in pattern recognition, have always been considered as important subfields of artificial intelligence. On the other hand, topics like knowledge representation, inference, search or learning that belong to the center of artificial intelligence, have constantly attracted the attention of researchers working in pattern recognition.
