| Quotient Space Based Problem Solving Posted: 06 Apr 2014 08:12 AM PDT 
Book Description Quotient Space Based Problem Solving: A Theoretical Foundation of Granular Computing Research results obtained by the authors form the basis of this volume. The motivation behind this research is the belief that more human-like characteristics in problem solving should be involved in a formal representation in order to achieve better performance for computer-based problem solvers. While much of the current material available is presented in the language of mathematics, including elementary topology, set theory and statistics, Quotient Space Based Problem Solving presents key concepts and techniques, including basic definitions and theorems in accessible, practical terms before the relevant discussions. Each topic is introduced by simple examples and applications. Quotient Space Based Problem Solving is designed for graduate students, research fellows and technicians in Computer Science, especially Artificial Intelligence, and those concerned with computerized problem solving. - Explains the theory of hierarchical problem solving, its computational complexity, and discusses the principle and applications of multi-granular computing
- Describes a human-like, theoretical framework using quotient space theory, that will be of interest to researchers in artificial intelligence.
- Provides many applications and examples in the engineering and computer science area.
- Includes complete coverage of planning, heuristic search and coverage of strictly mathematical models.

Book Description Object-Oriented Analysis and Design for Information Systems clearly explains real object-oriented programming in practice. Expert author Raul Sidnei Wazlawick explains concepts such as object responsibility, visibility and the real need for delegation in detail. The object-oriented code generated by using these concepts in a systematic way is concise, organized and reusable. The patterns and solutions presented in this book are based in research and industrial applications. You will come away with clarity regarding processes and use cases and a clear understand of how to expand a use case. Wazlawick clearly explains clearly how to build meaningful sequence diagrams. Object-Oriented Analysis and Design for Information Systems illustrates how and why building a class model is not just placing classes into a diagram. You will learn the necessary organizational patterns so that your software architecture will be maintainable. - Learn how to build better class models, which are more maintainable and understandable.

| Designing with the Mind in Mind, 2nd Edition Posted: 06 Apr 2014 07:51 AM PDT 
Book Description In this completely updated and revised edition of Designing with the Mind in Mind, Jeff Johnson provides you with just enough background in perceptual and cognitive psychology that user interface (UI) design guidelines make intuitive sense rather than being just a list or rules to follow. Early UI practitioners were trained in cognitive psychology, and developed UI design rules based on it. But as the field has evolved since the first edition of this book, designers enter the field from many disciplines. Practitioners today have enough experience in UI design that they have been exposed to design rules, but it is essential that they understand the psychology behind the rules in order to effectively apply them. In this new edition, you’ll find new chapters on human choice and decision making, hand-eye coordination and attention, as well as new examples, figures, and explanations throughout. - Provides an essential source for user interface design rules and how, when, and why to apply them
- Arms designers with the science behind each design rule, allowing them to make informed decisions in projects, and to explain those decisions to others
- Equips readers with the knowledge to make educated tradeoffs between competing rules, project deadlines, and budget pressures
- Completely updated and revised, including additional coverage on human choice and decision making, hand-eye coordination and attention, and new mobile and touch-screen examples throughout
