This monograph presents examples of best practices when combining bioinspired algorithms with parallel architectures. The book includes recent work by leading researchers in the field and offers a map with the main paths already explored and new ways towards the future. Parallel Architectures and Bioinspired Algorithms will be of value to both specialists in Bioinspired Algorithms, Parallel and Distributed Computing, as well as computer science students trying to understand the present and the future of Parallel Architectures and Bioinspired Algorithms.

Daisy Papp is an Excellence Coach and the author of the groundbreaking 5+2 Love Formula. Over the years, Daisy has further developed the Island Model, an invention/intervention of renowned Psychologist and Top Management Trainer Vera F. Birkenbihl. It is a surprisingly easy to understand metaphor that changes the insights and outlooks of the reader, the Island-Apprentice. The Island Model is logical, to the point, and quickly becomes an asset with high yield. This practical advice is recommended to anyone who wants to live successfully a more content and balanced life filled with tolerance and acceptance. In this book, you will learn: -How top achievers use The Island Model as an asset, -How to shed cultural, traditional, educational, and economical differences so you can focus your energy on tolerance and acceptance, and -How knowing why people (including you) do what they do, when they do it, can help you to succeed.

Originally prepared for the Office of Naval Research, this important monograph introduces various methods for the asymptotic evaluation of integrals containing a large parameter, and solutions of ordinary linear differential equations by means of asymptotic expansions. Author's preface. Bibliography.

System dynamics is one of the most widely known and widely used methods of modeling.

Provides a comprehensive synthesis of a fundamental phenomenon, the species-area relationship, addressing theory, evidence and application.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the Second Australasian Conference on Artificial Life and Computational Intelligence, ACALCI 2016, held in Canberra, ACT, Australia, in February 2016. The 30 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 41 submissions. They are organized in topical sections named: mathematical modeling and theory; learning and optimization; planning and scheduling; feature selection; and applications and games.

This book highlights the recent research on hybrid intelligent systems and their various practical applications. It presents 58 selected papers from the 20th International Conference on Hybrid Intelligent Systems (HIS 2020) and 20 papers from the 12th World Congress on Nature and Biologically Inspired Computing (NaBIC 2020), which was held online, from December 14 to 16, 2020. A premier conference in the field of artificial intelligence, HIS - NaBIC 2020 brought together researchers, engineers and practitioners whose work involves intelligent systems, network security and their applications in industry. Including contributions by authors from 25 countries, the book offers a valuable reference guide for all researchers, students and practitioners in the fields of science and engineering.

When Kirby, a fun-loving penguin, arrives on Polar Bear Island, she shakes things up--much to the dismay of Parker, the mayor. Will Parker learn to see how great it is to make new friends? Or will he chase Kirby away forever? Full color.
