Product Description
The software engineering field has recently observed anincreased integration with the computational intelligence (CI) field,which is primarily comprised of the mature technologies of fuzzylogic, artificial neural networks, genetic algorithms, geneticprogramming, and rough sets. Hybrid systems that combine two or moreof these individual technologies are also categorized under the CIumbrella. The computational intelligence area provides a softwaredevelopment team with a unique conceptual and algorithmic opportunityof incorporating advanced CI technologies into the various phases ofsoftware development, primarily for addressing problems arising due toimprecise measurement and uncertainty of information. Software Engineering with Computational Intelligence, an editedvolume, was initially selected for a special volume of "The Annals ofSoftware Engineering" (ANSE) Journal, which has been discontinued. Thecontributions in this book are grouped into four chapters according tothe software engineering categories of: software project managementand effort estimation; software quality assurance and estimation;software testing, verification, and validation; and software design.The contributions focus on applying CI techniques to address varioussoftware engineering problems. This book is designed to meet the needs of a professional and academicsoftware engineering audience, and those of graduate students inComputer Science, Computer Engineering, and Software Engineeringprograms. ...

Product Description

In the past decades, model reduction has become an ubiquitous tool in analysis and simulation of dynamical systems, control design, circuit simulation, structural dynamics, CFD, and many other disciplines dealing with complex physical models. The aim of this book is to survey some of the most successful model reduction methods in tutorial style articles and to present benchmark problems from several application areas for testing and comparing existing and new algorithms. As the discussed methods have often been developed in parallel in disconnected application areas, the intention of the mini-workshop in Oberwolfach and its proceedings is to make these ideas available to researchers and practitioners from all these different disciplines.

Product Description

This book is an introduction to some new fields in soft computing with its principal components of fuzzy logic, ANN and EA. The approach in this book is to provide an understanding of the soft computing field and to work through soft computing using examples. It also aims to integrate pseudo-code operational summaries and Matlab codes, to present computer simulation, to include real world applications and to highlight the distinctive work of human consciousness in machine.

Product Description
The book deals with the numerical approximation of various PDEs using the spectral element method, with particular emphasis for elliptic equations dominated by first-order terms. It provides a simple introduction to spectral elements with additional new tools (upwind grids and preconditioners). Applications to fluid dynamics and semiconductor devices are considered, as well as in other models were transport-diffusion equations arise. The aim is to provide the reader with both introductive and more advanced material on spectral Legendre collocation methods. The book however does not cover all the aspects of spectral methods. Engineers, physicists and applied mathematicians may study how to implement the collocation method and use the results to improve their computational codes. ... Read more

Disappointed
I was not happy with this book at all.I found the text and drawingssophmoric.The problems were mainly algebraic exersizes rather thanengineering problems.This is a book for highschoolers at best.

Good cursory overview of mathimatics of engineering geology
This book provides a decent brief review of classical engineering geology, including tunneling, soil and rock mechanics, hill slope stability, and channel and groundwater flow.This book is good as a set of practiceproblems sets.Although fundementals are covered thoroughly, no in depthanalysis of the topics is provided.Good as an introduction to mathimaticsof engineering geology.

I want to have solutions of problems in this book.
This is not a review on this book. This book will be selected for textbook in my lecture(subject: engineering geology). Therefore I want to get a book including solutions of problems because this book does not have solutionsbut only answers. My address is following Dr. Gyo-Cheol Jeong Dept. Earthand Environmental Sciences Andong National University Andong 760-749,Seoul, Korea

Good book but dated style
I used the book for my graduate level class in Numerical Methods. The book explains numerical concepts well but there are very few worked out examples. The algorithms are presented as pseudocode which is a very very archaic style of presenting. The authors should realize that the best way to explain is to actually work out some examples. Thats why I give this book three stars.

Good for Grad Students
My professor usedthis book for a numerical methods course, and the computer programs within were helpful, but I wouldnt use this book for an undergrad course. There are no hand-worked examples in the book, which might make this book inappropriate for a first course in the subject.

Excellently written, clear explanation.
I bought the book when I took the course from Yogesh Jaluria (the authur).I found it to be an excellently written book with clear explanation of the numerical methods before each example.This book is a reflection of his teaching which is also superb.It might not be as comprehensive as Numerical Recipe but I found it to be much more tangible and clearer.I highly recommend it to to all engineering AND science students.There are only two grips I have with the book, all the codes are written in FORTRAN 77, which is a bit dated depending on your point of view, the other is that the pages like to fall off over time in the softcover copy. ...

Product Description
Tremendous computing power is now available for relatively low cost. Desktop and notebook computers commonly have multiple processors, and even homes have networks of computers. This offers great potential for taking advantage of distributed computing, but in order to realise this potential suitable program design methodologies are required. The .NET framework makes it relatively easy to implement distributed computing along with multi-threading. This book describes the implementation of a finite element program using .NET and object-oriented programming in C#. The book describes both overall program design approaches, along with program details. The book describes domain decomposition solution methods, covering both direct and iterative solvers, and their incorporation into a finite element program. The book is intended for researchers and postgraduate students working in the field of numerical software. The source code described in this book is available from the author's web site. ...

This book presents major advances in high performance computing as well as major advances due to high performance computing. It contains a collection of papers in which results achieved in the collaboration of scientists from computer science, mathematics, physics, and mechanical engineering are presented. From the science problems to the mathematical algorithms and on to the effective implementation of these algorithms on massively parallel and cluster computers we present state-of-the-art methods and technology as well as exemplary results in these fields. This book shows that problems which seem superficially distinct become intimately connected on a computational level.
