Ebook: Intelligent Techniques and Tools for Novel System Architectures

This volume provides a source wherein academics, researchers and practitioners may derive high-quality, original and state-of-the-art papers describing theoretical aspects, systems architectures, analysis and design tools and techniques, and implementation experiences in intelligent systems where information and knowledge management should be mainly characterised as a net-centric infrastructure riding on the fifth wave of "distributed intelligence".

An urgent need for editing such a volume has occurred as a result of vivid discussions and presentations at the “IEEE-IS’ 2006 – The 2006 Third International IEEE Conference on Intelligent Systems” held in London, UK, at the University of Westminster in the beginning of September, 2006. This book is a compilation of many valuable inspiring works written by both the conference participants and some other experts in this new and challenging field.
