Intelligent Techniques and Tools for Novel System Architectures

This volume provides a source wherein academics, researchers and practitioners may derive high-quality, original and state-of-the-art papers describing theoretical aspects, systems architectures, analysis and design tools and techniques, and implementation experiences in intelligent systems where information and knowledge management should be mainly characterised as a net-centric infrastructure riding on the fifth wave of "distributed intelligence". An urgent need for editing such a volume has occurred as a result of vivid discussions and presentations at the "IEEE-IS’ 2006 – The 2006 Third International IEEE Conference on Intelligent Systems" held in London, UK, at the University of Westminster in the beginning of September, 2006. This book is a compilation of many valuable inspiring works written by both the conference participants and some other experts in this new and challenging field. This volume presents new directions and solutions in broadly perceived intelligent systems.
