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, and air acoustics. 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 state of the art in wavelet analysis and its applications and active media technology. At the Congress, invited talks were delivered by distinguished researchers, namely Prof John Daugman of Cambridge University, UK; Prof Bruno Torresani of INRIA, France; Prof Victor Wickerhauser of Washington University, USA, Prof Ning Zhong of the Maebashi Institute of Technology, Japan; Prof John Yen of Pennsylvania State University, USA; and Prof Sankar K Pal of the Indian Statistical Institute, India.

Methodologies for Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining

Today we live in an information age: information has become a commodity, and every second thousands of new records are created. This explosion of massive data sets created by businesses, science and governments necessitates intelligent and more powerful computing paradigms so that users can benefit from this data. This information needs to be summarized and synthesized to support effective problem solving and decision making. The papers in this book assume an interdisciplinary approach based on three major methodologies: first, hybridization, i.e., combining methods in order to harness their strengths and avoid their shortcomings; second, multiphase processing, i.e., the step-wise preparation, evaluation and refinement of data; and, third, multi-agent and distributed processing, i.e., using intelligent agents as well as Web or grid architectures. The final vision of the authors is an intelligent information technology, encompassing theories and applications from, for example, artificial intelligence, data mining, grid computing, and statistical learning. This monograph presents the current state of research and development in both theoretical and application aspects of intelligent information analysis. It is a source of reference and includes numerous examples for researchers, graduate students and advanced professionals working in areas such as electronic commerce, business intelligence, and knowledge grids.

Intelligent Technologies for Information Analysis
