Download or read book Intelligent Autonomous Vehicles written by International Federation of Automatic Control and published by Pergamon. This book was released on 1993-09-06 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is an increasing range of applications in which a robot has to operate in large unstructured and uncertain environments - including military cross country missions, fire fighting, construction, nuclear plant inspections, inspecting and repairing subsea structures, assembling space stations, as well as in intelligent automobiles. Uncertainty dominates the problem domain for intelligent autonomous vehicles (IAVs) through sensing the environment and vehicle state, interpreting the data, assessing the situation, adapting to changes in the environment or tasking, replanning, navigation and piloting. IFAC, recognising the industrial, technical and economic significance of IAV research, established an International Working Party to promote research and dissemination of results in IAV systems. The IAV-93 Southampton Workshop and these resulting proceedings exemplify the vitality and significant progress made by leading IAV researchers worldwide.

Download or read book Proof Theory and Automated Deduction written by Jean Goubault-Larrecq and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2001-11-30 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interest in computer applications has led to a new attitude to applied logic in which researchers tailor a logic in the same way they define a computer language. In response to this attitude, this text for undergraduate and graduate students discusses major algorithmic methodologies, and tableaux and resolution methods. The authors focus on first-order logic, the use of proof theory, and the computer application of automated searches for proofs of mathematical propositions.

Download or read book Global Warming and Climate Change written by Emma Carlson Berne and published by Referencepoint Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the world, the cause and impact of global warming and climate change is being passionately debated. While many claim that a climate crisis is imminent if greenhouse gases are not curbed, others argue that the effects have been overblown. Through objective overviews, primary sources, and full-color illustrations, this title will examine What Is Global Warming and Climate Change? What Are the Consequences of Global Warming? What Are the Controversies Surrounding Global Warming? What Are the Solutions for Global Warming?

Download or read book Logic for Computer Science written by Jean H. Gallier and published by Courier Dover Publications. This book was released on 2015-06-18 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This advanced text for undergraduate and graduate students introduces mathematical logic with an emphasis on proof theory and procedures for algorithmic construction of formal proofs. The self-contained treatment is also useful for computer scientists and mathematically inclined readers interested in the formalization of proofs and basics of automatic theorem proving. Topics include propositional logic and its resolution, first-order logic, Gentzen's cut elimination theorem and applications, and Gentzen's sharpened Hauptsatz and Herbrand's theorem. Additional subjects include resolution in first-order logic; SLD-resolution, logic programming, and the foundations of PROLOG; and many-sorted first-order logic. Numerous problems appear throughout the book, and two Appendixes provide practical background information.
