Synthesis and Colloquium Digital Libraries Update

New Morgan & Claypool eBooks

 

Digital Circuits and Systems
Author: Tsutomu Sasao, Meiji University
Keywords: affine equivalence, code converter, constant-weight code, computer virus scanning, equivalence class, functional decomposition, hash function, incompletely specified function, index generation function & unit, IP address table, irreducible index generation function, linear decomposition & transformation, LUT cascade
Abstract: Index generation functions are binary-input integer valued functions. They represent functions of content addressable memories (CAMs). Applications include: IP address tables; terminal controllers; URL lists; computer virus scanning circuits; memory patch circuits; list of English words; code converters; and pattern matching circuits.

 

Games and Computational Intelligence
Authors: Diego Pérez Liébana, Simon M. Lucas, Raluca D. Gaina, Queen Mary University of London; Julian Togelius, Ahmed Khalifa, New York University; Jialin Liu, Southern University of Science and Technology
Keywords: computational intelligence, artificial intelligence, video games, general video game playing, GVGAI, video game description language, reinforcement learning, Monte Carlo tree search
Abstract: Research on general video game playing aims at designing agents or content generators that can perform well in multiple video games, possibly without knowing the game in advance and with little to no specific domain knowledge. The general video game AI framework and competition propose a challenge in which researchers can test their favorite AI methods with a potentially infinite number of games created using the Video Game Description Language. > Download eBook PDF
Information Concepts, Retrieval, and Services
Authors: Brian O’Connor & Richard L. Anderson, The University of North Texas
Keywords: computational film analysis, video structure, functional ontology, photons in and out
Abstract: In order to discover how movies work—their structure and meaning—we honed ways to provide pixel level analysis, forms of clustering, and precise descriptions of what parts of a signal influence viewer behavior. We assert that analysis of the signal set across the evolution of film—from Edison to Hollywood to Brakhage to cats on social media—yields a common ontology with instantiations (responses to changes in coding and decoding antecedents). > Download eBook PDF
Mechanical Engineering
Author: Xiaobin Le, Wentworth Institute of Technology
Keywords: reliability, reliability-based design, mechanical component, mechanical design, computational method, numerical simulation, static load, limit state function, failure, safety, probability
Abstract: It begins with a brief discussion on the engineering design process and the fundamental reliability mathematics. Then, the book presents several computational methods for calculating the reliability of a component under loads when its limit state function is established. Finally, the book presents how to establish the limit state functions of a component under static load and furthermore how to calculate the reliability of typical components under simple typical static load and combined static loads. > Download eBook PDF
Author: Xiaobin Le, Wentworth Institute of Technology
Keywords: reliability, reliability-based design, mechanical component, mechanical design, computational method, numerical simulation, static load, cyclic load, fatigue damage, limit state function, failure
Abstract: It begins with a systematic description of a cyclic load. Then, the books use two probabilistic fatigue theories to establish the limit state function of a component under cyclic load, and further to present how to calculate the reliability of a component under a cyclic loading spectrum. Finally, the book presents how to conduct dimension design of typical components such as bar, pin, shaft, beam under static load, or cyclic loading spectrum with required reliability. > Download eBook PDF
