Adapting Police Services to New Immigration

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionLatino immigration to the Midwest has had a significant impact on police-community relations, particularly, in smaller communities historically unaccustomed to diverse ethnic groups. This book describes the experiences of law enforcementagencies in three Mid-Missouri communities and their efforts to adapt to their changing demographics while maintaining current relations with the majority population. The findings reveal that the relationship between law enforcement and the majority communities was positive and supportive. There were several challenges, however, to the development of a cooperative police-Latino relationship. These included the language barrier, fear of the police, immigration issues and the nature of contacts between the police and Latino community. [detailed...]

Adapting Proofs-as-Programs : The Curry-Howard Protocol (Monographs in Computer Science)

2005 y.
Publisher: Springer
Description: This monograph details several important advances in the area known as the proofs-as-programs paradigm, a set of approaches to developing programs from proofs in constructive logic. It serves the dual purpose of providing a state-of-the-art overview of the field and detailing tools and techniques to stimulate further research. One of the book’s central themes is a general, abstract framework for developing new systems of program synthesis by adapting proofs-as-programs to new contexts, which the authors call the Curry--Howard Protocol. This protocol is used to provide two novel applications for industrial-scale, complex software engineering: contractual imperative program synthesis and structured software synthesis. These applications constitute an exemplary justification for the applicability of the protocol to different contexts. The book is intended for graduate students in computer science or mathematics who wish to extend their background in logic and type theory as… [detailed...]

Adaptive Bidding in Single-Sided Auctions under Uncertainty: An Agent-based Approach in Market Engineering (Whitestein Series in Software Agent Technologies and Autonomic Computing

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In the last years electronic markets, especially online auctions, have become very popular and received more and more attention in both, business (B2B) as well as in public practice (B2C and C2C). Science, however, is still far from having studied all phenomena and effects which can be observed on electronic markets. Apart from theoretic analysis, other approaches are necessary to evaluate and understand market effects. This book shows that and how software agents can be used to simulate bidding behaviour in electronic auctions. The main emphasis of this book is to apply computational economics to market theory. It summarizes the most common and up-to-date agent-based simulation methods and tools and develops the simulation software AMASE. On basis of the introduced methods a model is established to simulate bidding behaviour under uncertainty. The book addresses researchers, computer scientists, economists and students who are interested in applying agent-based… [detailed...]

Adaptive Control of Systems with Actuator Failures

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionWhen an actuator fails, chaos or calamity can often ensue. It is because the actuator is the final step in the control chain, when the control system’s instructions are made physically real that failure can be so important and hard to compensate for. When the nature or location of the failure is unknown, the offsetting of consequent system uncertainties becomes even more awkward. Adaptive Control of Systems with Actuator Failures centres on counteracting situations in which unknown control inputs become indeterminately unresponsive over an uncertain period of time by adapting the responses of remaining functional control systems. Both “lock-in-place” and varying-value failures are dealt with. The results presented demonstrate: the existence of nominal plant-model matching controller structures with associated matching conditions for all possible failure patterns, the choice of a desirable adaptive controller structure, derivation of novel… [detailed...]

Adaptive Filtering: Algorithms and Practical Implementation (Kluwer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science, 399)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The field of digital signal processing has developed considerably in the last two decades. This development is related to the growth of available technologies for implementing digital signal processing algorithms. If accurate information on the signals to be processed is available, the designer can easily choose the most appropriate algorithm to process the signal. Fixed algorithms do not process efficiently signals whose statistical properties are unknown. The solution is to use an adaptive filter that automatically changes its characteristics by optimizing its internal parameters. Adaptive filtering algorithms are essential in many statistical signal processing applications. Adaptive Filtering: Algorithms and Practical Implementation is a concise presentation of adaptive filtering, covering as many algorithms as possible while avoiding adapting notations and derivations related to the different algorithms. Furthermore, the book points out the algorithms which really work in a… [detailed...]

Adaptive Learning by Genetic Algorithms: Analytical Results and Applications to Economic Models

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book deals with the learning behavior of boundedly rational agents in economic systems. In particular, the modeling of learning populations by genetic algorithms is studied in detail. After an extensive review and discussion of the existing literature in the first part, a mathematical analysis of the dynamic properties of genetic algorithm learning in the general framework of systems with a state dependent fitness function is provided. It is shown that co-evolutionary economic models typically fall into this class and the usefulness of the analytical results derived is illustrated in several game theoretic and microeconomic models. The mathematical analysis is complemented by extensive simulation analyses. The last part of the book demonstrates how the obtained theory may be used to design the algorithm such that the learning of equilibria of the economic system is facilitated. [detailed...]

Adaptive Motion of Animals and Machines

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The principles of adaptation to various environments have not yet been clarified. Furthermore, autonomous adaptation remains unsolved and a seriously difficult problem in robotics. Apparently, the adaptation ability shown by animals and that needed by robots in the real world cannot be explained or realized by one single function in a control system and mechanism. That is, adaptation in motion is induced at every level in a wide spectrum from the central neural system to the musculoskeletal system. This book contains the papers selected carefully from the symposium AMAM2003 particularly concerning adaptation in locomotion from the viewpoint of robotics and neurophysiology. Due to this restriction in topics adopted, we expect that this book will efficiently provide good information for scientists and engineers, which is useful to discuss the principles and mechanisms underlying animals` adaptation under unstructured environment .

Adaptive Perspectives on Human-Technology Interaction: Methods and Models for Cognitive Engineering and Human-Computer Interaction (Human-Technology Interaction)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In everyday life, and particularly in the modern workplace, information technology and automation increasingly mediate, augment, and sometimes even interfere with how humans interact with their environment. How to understand and support cognition in human-technology interaction is both a practically and socially relevant problem. The chapters in this volume frame this problem in adaptive terms: How are behavior and cognition adapted, or perhaps ill-adapted, to the demands and opportunities of an environment where interaction is mediated by tools and technology? The authors draw heavily on the work of Egon Brunswik, a pioneer in ecological and cognitive psychology, as well as on modern refinements and extensions of Brunswikian ideas, including Hammond`s Social Judgment Theory, Gigerenzer`s Ecological Rationality and Anderson`s Rational Analysis. Inspired by Brunswik`s view of cognition as `coming to terms` with the `casual texture` of the external world, the chapters in this volume… [detailed...]
