Ontologies-Based Business Integration
E-business integration is a vision we have developed over a long period of time. As we have worked in business practice for many years prior to and in parallel with our academic research, we have always thought of such - tegration not only as an intellectual challenge but also as a real business tool. Consequently, when we started our project on Ontologies-based R- onciliation for Business Integration (ORBI) in 2004, not only pure science but also business objectives were at the center of our research. We were very happy to be able to form a project consortium that consisted not only of renowned researchers but also of experienced business practitioners from a range of companies. Each played a specific role – as user, provider or co-developer of the application components that are based on the me- ods we have developed. So may this book find its way not only to the desks of researchers and students, but also into the offices and minds of business practitioners worldwide who are dealing with the challenge of integrating their business processes, applications and information.

Nonlinear Fokker-Planck Equations : Fundamentals and Applications
Providing an introduction to the theory of nonlinear Fokker-Planck equations, this book discusses fundamental properties of transient and stationary solutions, emphasizing the stability analysis of stationary solutions by means of self-consistency equations, linear stability analysis, and Lyapunov's direct method. Also treated are Langevin equations and correlation functions. Nonlinear Fokker-Planck Equations addresses various phenomena such as phase transitions, multistability of systems, synchronization, anomalous diffusion, cut-off solutions, travelling-wave solutions and the emergence of power law solutions. A nonlinear Fokker-Planck perspective to quantum statistics, generalized thermodynamics, and linear nonequilibrium thermodynamics is given. Theoretical concepts are illustrated where possible by simple examples. The book also reviews several applications in the fields of condensed matter physics, the physics of porous media and liquid crystals, accelerator physics, neurophysics, social sciences, population dynamics, and computational physics.

Fuzzy Chaotic Systems : Modeling, Control, and Applications
"Fuzzy Chaotic Systems" provides original heuristic research achievements and insightful ideas on the interactions or intrinsic relationships between fuzzy logic and chaos theory. It presents the fundamental concepts of fuzzy logic and fuzzy control, chaos theory and chaos control, as well as thedefinition of chaos on the metric space of fuzzy sets. This monograph discusses and illustrates fuzzy modeling and fuzzy control of chaotic systems, synchronization, anti-control of chaos, intelligent digital redesign, spatiotemporal chaos and synchronization in complex fuzzy systems; as well as a practical application example of fuzzy-chaos-based cryptography. Like other very good books, this book may raise more questions than it can provide answers. It therefore generates a great potential to attract more attention to combine fuzzy systems with chaos theory and contains important seeds for future scientific research and engineering applications.
Expert Network Time Protocol : An Experience in Time with NTP
Have you ever tried to figure out why your computer clock is off, or why your emails somehow have the wrong timestamp? Most likely, it's due to an incorrect network time synchronization, which can be reset using the Network Time Protocol. Until now, most network administrators have been too paranoid to work with this, afraid that they would make the problem even worse. However, Expert Network Time Protocol: An Experience in Time with NTP takes the mystery out of time, and shows the network administrator how to regain the upper hand. This book is a fascinating look into NTP, and the stories behind the science. Written by Peter Rybaczyk, one of the foremost experts on NTP, this book will show the network administrator how to become more comfortable working with time.

Emergent Properties in Natural and Artificial Dynamical Systems
An important part of the science of complexity is the study of emergent properties arising through dynamical processes in various types of natural and artificial systems. This is the aim of this book, which is the outcome of a discussion meeting within the first European conference on complex systems. It presents multidisciplinary approaches for getting representations of complex systems and using different methods to extract emergent structures. This carefully edited book studies emergent features such as self organization, synchronization, opening on stability and robustness properties. Invariant techniques are presented which can express global emergent properties in dynamical and in temporal evolution systems. This book demonstrates how artificial systems such as a distributed platform can be used for simulation used to search emergent placement during simulation execution.
Devices for Cardiac Resynchronization : Technologic and Clinical Aspects
The treatment of congestive heart failure by implanted biventricular pacemakers, or cardiac resynchronization, has revolutionized the practice of implanting pacemakers and defibrillators. More cardiac resynchronization therapy devices than conventional pacemakers are now being implanted and their numbers are growing worldwide.
Deepfake
The technology used to create such digital content has quickly become accessible to the masses, such as “DEEPFAKE.” Deep fakes refer to manipulated videos, or other digital representations produced by sophisticated artificial intelligence, that yields to synthesize a sequence of face images and voices of characters corresponding to their identities, such as voice tone, facial expression, with a good lip synchronization. Therefore, this study is about developing real-time video generation software, which generates a target video from a single input image. Several methods and algorithms have been applied to detect, analyze personalize facial expression, voice and natural head poses to present a life-like image instead of a low quality one.
Data parallel C++programming accelerated systems using C++ and SYCL
Full of practical advice, detailed explanations, and code examples to illustrate key topics. SYCL enables access to parallel resources in modern accelerated heterogeneous systems. Now, a single C++ application can use any combination of devices–including GPUs, CPUs, FPGAs, and ASICs–that are suitable to the problems at hand. This book teaches data-parallel programming using C++ with SYCL and walks through everything needed to program accelerated systems. The book begins by introducing data parallelism and foundational topics for effective use of SYCL. Later chapters cover advanced topics, including error handling, hardware-specific programming, communication and synchronization, and memory model considerations.

Brain Dynamics : Synchronization and Activity Patterns in Pulse-Coupled Neural Nets with Delays and Noise
This book addresses a large variety of models in mathematical and computational neuroscience.He devotes the main part to the synchronization problem. He presents neural net models more realistic than the conventional ones by taking into account the detailed dynamics of axons, synapses and dendrites, allowing rather arbitrary couplings between neurons. He gives a complete stabile analysis that goes significantly beyond what has been known so far. He also derives pulse-averaged equations including those of the Wilson--Cowan and the Jirsa-Haken-Nunez types and discusses the formation of spatio-temporal neuronal activity pattems. An analysis of phase locking via sinusoidal couplings leading to various kinds of movement coordination is included.
