Proceedings Of The 6th International Progress On Wavelet Analysis And Active Media Technology

' Wavelet analysis and its applications have been one of the fastest growing research areas in the past several years. Wavelet theory has been employed in numerous fields and applications, such as signal and image processing, communication systems, biomedical imaging, radar, air acoustics, and many other areas. Active media technology is concerned with the development of autonomous computational or physical entities capable of perceiving, reasoning, adapting, learning, cooperating, and delegating in a dynamic environment. This book captures the essence of the current state of the art in wavelet analysis and active media technology. It includes nine invited papers by distinguished researchers: P Zhang, T D Bui and C Y Suen from Concordia University, Canada; N A Strelkov and V L Dol''nikov from Yaroslavl State University, Russia; Chin-Chen Chang and Ching-Yun Chang from Taiwan; S S Pandey from R D University, India; and I L Bloshanskii from Moscow State Regional University, Russia.

This volume of Advances in Soft Computing and Lecture Notes in Computer th Science vols. 5551, 5552 and 5553, constitute the Proceedings of the 6 Inter- tional Symposium of Neural Networks (ISNN 2009) held in Wuhan, China during May 26–29, 2009. ISNN is a prestigious annual symposium on neural networks with past events held in Dalian (2004), Chongqing (2005), Chengdu (2006), N- jing (2007) and Beijing (2008). Over the past few years, ISNN has matured into a well-established series of international conference on neural networks and their applications to other fields. Following this tradition, ISNN 2009 provided an a- demic forum for the participants to disseminate their new research findings and discuss emerging areas of research. Also, it created a stimulating environment for the participants to interact and exchange information on future research challenges and opportunities of neural networks and their applications. ISNN 2009 received 1,235 submissions from about 2,459 authors in 29 co- tries and regions (Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Islamic Republic of Iran, Japan, Jordan, Macao, Malaysia, Mexico, Norway, Qatar, Republic of Korea, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, Tunisia, United Kingdom, United States, Venezuela, Vietnam, and Yemen) across six continents (Asia, Europe, North America, South America, Africa, and Oceania). Based on rigorous reviews by the Program Committee members and reviewers, 95 high-quality papers were selected to be published in this volume.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Information Systems, Technology and Management, ICISTM 2011, held in Gurgaon, India, in March 2011. The 35 revised full papers presented together with 4 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 106 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on information management, information systems, information technology, healthcare information management and technology, business intelligence, applications, as well as management science and education.

Wavelet analysis has gained recognition as a useful tool for analyzing time-frequency, and is playing an important role in signal and information processing. Wavelet analysis is not only based on a bright new idea, but also on concepts that already existed in various forms in many different fields. The formalization and emergence of this wavelet theory is the result of a multidisciplinary effort that has brought together of varied disciplines. This book captures the essence of the state of the art in wavelet analysis and active media technology.

This book captures the essence of the current state of research in wavelet analysis and its applications, and identifies the changes and opportunities -- both current and future -- in the field. Distinguished researchers such as Prof John Daugman from Cambridge University and Prof Victor Wickerhauser from Washington University present their research papers.
