Description
This book provides a broad coverage of many advanced concepts in the field of information technology. It is divided into sections covering computing, systems, robotics, cognitive science and human-computer interaction. The material is presented in a way such that little background is necessary for its understanding, yet current and future trends are indicated. Much of the work is presented by researchers at the forefront of the individual areas covered, and includes many practical examples taken from the applied science and engineering disciplines. The book is suitable for practising engineers and scientists who wish to keep abreast of modern developments employing computers for information processing in its widest sense. It is also suitable for postgraduate and final year undergraduate students interested in IT. It assumes some basic knowledge of computing and systems concepts.
