Combinatorial Image Analysis

Covering the theoretical aspects of image processing and analysis through the use of graphs in the representation and analysis of objects, Image Processing and Analysis with Graphs: Theory and Practice also demonstrates how these concepts are indispensible for the design of cutting-edge solutions for real-world applications.

This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Hybrid Artificial Intelligent Systems, HAIS 2013, held in Salamanca, Spain, in September 2013. The 68 papers published in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 218 submissions.

This book constitutes the joint refereed proceedings of six workshops, EvoWorkshops 2003, held together with EuroGP 2003 in Essex, UK in April 2003.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of three workshops on the application of evolutionary programming and algorithms in various domains…

Efficient transfer between science and society is crucial for their future development. The rapid progress of information technology and computer systems offers a large potential and new perspectives for solving complex problems. Mathematical modelling and simulation have become important tools not only in scientific investigations but also in analysing, planning and controlling technological and economic processes. Mathematics, imbedded in an interdisciplinary concept, has become a key technology.
