This book will serve as a valuable source of information about triangulations for the graduate student and researcher. With emphasis on computational issues, it presents the basic theory necessary to construct and manipulate triangulations. In particular, the book gives a tour through the theory behind the Delaunay triangulation, including algorithms and software issues. It also discusses various data structures used for the representation of triangulations.

Since the first edition was published, new technologies have come up, especially in the area of convergence of Computing and Communications, accompanied by a lot of new technical terms. This second expanded and updated edition has been worked out to cope with this situation. The number of entries has been incremented by 35%. With about 159,000 entries, this dictionary offers a valuable guide to navigate through the entanglement of German and English terminology. The lexicographic concept (indication of the subject field for every term, short definitions, references to synonyms, antonyms, general and derivative terms) has been maintained, as well as the tabular layout.

This book adopts a conceptual approach to computer graphics, with emphasis on mathematical concepts and their applications. It introduces an abstract paradigm that relates the mathematical concepts with computer graphic techniques and implementation methods. This model is intended to help the reader understand the mathematical concepts and their practical use. However, mathematical complexity has not been allowed to dominate. The haul mark of the book is its profuse solved examples which aid in the understanding of mathematical concepts. The text is supplemented with introduction to various graphics standards, animation, multimedia techniques and fractals. These topics are of immense use in each of the three visual disciplines: modeling transformations, projections and multi-view geometry for computer vision. Geometry of lines, vectors and planes is essential for any geometric computation problem, light and illumination for image-based rendering, and hidden surface removal. Almost every chapter has the working source code to illustrate the concepts, which could be written and used as small programs for better understanding of the topics. A concise appendix of open source OpenGL is also included to showcase programming concepts of computer graphics and visualization. The text is completely platform-independent and the only prerequisite is the knowledge of coordinate geometry and basic algebra. It will be useful both as a text and reference, thus it can easily be used by novices and experienced practitioners alike.

This book presents a selection of current research results in the field of intelligent systems and draws attention to their practical applications and issues connected with the areas of decision-making, economics, business and finance. The nature of the contributions is interdisciplinary – combining psychological and behavioural aspects with the theory and practice of decision-support, design of intelligent systems and development of machine learning tools. The authors, among other topics, discuss the multi-expert evaluation with intangible criteria, suggest a redefinition of the standard multiple-criteria decision-making framework, propose novel methods for causal map analysis and new feature selection methods. The topics are selected to stress the potential of the up-to-date intelligent methods to deal with practical problems relevant in these areas and to provide inspiration for advanced students, researchers and practitioners in the respective fields.

This volume presents the proceedings of a workshop on evolutionary models and strategies and another workshop on parallel processing, logic, organization, and technology, both held in Germany in 1989. In the search for new concepts relevant for parallel and distributed processing, the workshop on parallel processing included papers on aspects of space and time, representations of systems, non-Boolean logics, metrics, dynamics and structure, and superposition and uncertainties. The point was stressed that distributed representations of information may share features with quantum physics, such as the superposition principle and the uncertainty relations. Much of the volume contains material on general parallel processing machines, neural networks, and system-theoretic aspects. The material on evolutionary strategies is included because these strategies will yield important and powerful applications for parallel processing machines, and open the wayto new problem classes to be treated by computers.
