About the book:
This book is based upon research work undertaken by the authors and their collaborators over about 15 years. The book provides a theoretical foundation for understanding the nature of media data and the principles involved in its interpretation. The book presents a unified approach to recent advances in interpretation of multimedia data, and how a multimedia ontology can fill the semantic gap between the conceptual and the media worlds. ...

About the book:
Cognitive vision is still an immature technology, and is struggling its way to realize the versatility and capabilities of the human vision system. The scope of the subject is rather ill-defined; there is just not one single way to emulate human vision, and the researchers have trodden many different paths. The gamut of research in the subject appears to be like islands in an ocean, a good part of which is yet to be traversed. This book collates the work from various researchers in the field and attempts to create a coherent narrative with a wide coverage. The goal of the book is to demystify many mysteries that the human visual system holds, and to provide their computational models that can be realized in artificial vision systems. The book is intended for the researchers, in academics and industry, who want to explore the principles of cognitive vision and may like to apply it to real-life problems.
About the Book:
This goal of this book is to provide a consistent narrative of the entire gamut of distributed systems. In particular, the book bridges the foundational topics in distributed computing with advanced systems of contemporary importance.
The book is designed as a textbook to cover two courses on foundational and advanced distributed systems. For the foundational course, the book covers topics like communication, synchronization, information diffusion and mutual exclusion. The topics for the advance course are peer-to-peer systems, big data, cyber-physical systems, distributed artificial intelligence, and distributed trust.
The book provides ample programming examples and exercises for the students to have a concrete grip of the subject. There are adequate references to contemporary research topics as well as business applications to kindle interest and enable further exploration for the benefit of the researchers and the professionals.
