Advances in Information Processing and Protection [Paperback]

This book contains a selection of the best papers given at an international conference on advanced computer systems. The Advanced Computer Systems Conference was held in October 2006, in Miedzyzdroje, Poland. The book is organized into four topical areas: Artificial Intelligence; Computer Security and Safety; Image Analysis, Graphics and Biometrics; and Computer Simulation and Data Analysis.

The Computer Science is relatively new field which is developing very fast not only because due to the huge interest of scientists and the market request, but also because this science has created possibilities for people of investigation and solved many problems that some time ago seemed to be insolvable. Such problems had only been described in science fiction novels, like underwater journeys of captain Nemo described by Jules Verne in XIX century. At present, various human dreams are successively becoming reality exactly as the underwater journeys became possible in the XX century. The proposed book gives you a view of the progress in such domains of Computer Science as Artificial Intelligence, Biometrics, Security of Information Technology, Computer Information Systems and Industrial Management. The works contained in the book describe the newest investigation results of devoted scientists from Europe and Asia. The book is written in a hard scientific language. It is really valuable and I am sure it will deliver you many scientific benefits.
