Biometric Technologies and Verification Systems8 reviews
John R. Vacca
Butterworth-Heinemann, 2007
Excellent, Comprehensive Look
This is a great book about verification systems that use biometrics. It covers all the bases and provides insights that most of us would never think about when selecting a biometric technology. This book includes easy to understand explanations of how the technologies work and it also provides sections on deployment at an enterprise level. I don't think there is any form of verification here ...

The Algorithmic Beauty of Sea Shells3 reviews
Hans Meinhardt
Springer, 2003
very thought provoking and visually stimulating
I came across this book at the Rhode Island School of Design library. As an artist I found it surprising that what I had considered to be just a beautiful pattern was actually an imprint of the pressure and movement of the waves upon the seashell. This insight was very thought provoking for me. Perhaps to biologists this is a normal and natural thing - but for an artist this kind of scientific ...

Spiking Neuron Models3 reviews
Wulfram Gerstner, Werner M. Kistler
Cambridge University Press, 2002
All you ever wanted to know about spiking neuron models
I have used this book as an introduction and reference book for modeling neurons since I started my thesis work in computational neuroscience two years ago. It covers various types of spiking neuron models (e.g. Hodgkin-Huxley, Morris-Lecar, Integrate&Fire, Spike-Response-Model), noise in neuron models, population models, and plasticity/learning.
It is a very useful book, clearly written and ...

Advances in Evolutionary Computing1 review
S. Tsutsui
Springer, 2003
Excellent coverage of EC on practical problems
Although the papers are categorized into "theory" and "applications", all papers are quite practice-oriented. The first 23 "theoretical" papers present various sub-fields of EC while still providing good entries to the applications of these sub-fields. The other 17 papers focus on the application of EC techniques on very specific problems, be they combinatorial or mostly applied. The papers are ...
