Solar Energy Fundamentals and Modeling Techniques : Atmosphere, Environment, Climate Change and Renewable Energy
Collects together material from the current literature in atmospheric environmental sciences, climate change research, meteorology, engineering and renewable energy, liberally illustrated by diagrams and worked examples.the book includes an innovative exposition of expert system methodologies used in the domain of solar irradiation and energy. In addition to methodologies such as statistics and geo-statistics (regionalized variables), new modeling approaches such as fuzzy logic inference, artificial neural network (ANN) and genetic algorithm techniques are introduced, along with both classical Kriging and newly developed techniques for spatial solar irradiation modeling.
Logic Programming ; Vol. 4079 ; 22nd International Conference, ICLP 2006, Seattle, WA, USA, August 17-20, 2006, Proceedings
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 22nd International Conference on Logic Programming, ICLP 2006, held in Seattle, WA, USA, in August 2006. The 20 revised full papers and 6 application papers presented together with 2 invited talks, 2 tutorials and special interest papers, as well as 17 poster presentations and the abstracts of 7 doctoral consortium articles, were carefully reviewed and selected from 83 initial submissions. The papers cover all issues of current research in logic programming - they are organized in topical sections on theory, functional and constraint logic programming, program analysis, answer-set programming, semantics, and applications.
