This book presents an overview of archiving strategies developed over the last years by the authors that deal with suitable approximations of the sets of optimal and nearly optimal solutions of multi-objective optimization problems by means of stochastic search algorithms. All presented archivers are analyzed with respect to the approximation qualities of the limit archives that they generate and the upper bounds of the archive sizes. The convergence analysis will be done using a very broad framework that involves all existing stochastic search algorithms and that will only use minimal assumptions on the process to generate new candidate solutions. All of the presented archivers can effortlessly be coupled with any set-based multi-objective search algorithm such as multi-objective evolutionary algorithms, and the resulting hybrid method takes over the convergence properties of the chosen archiver. This book hence targets at all algorithm designers and practitioners in the field of multi-objective optimization.

La cuarta revolución industrial llega liderada por tecnologías disruptivas que implican cambios importantes en la operación de las empresas, y promueven la adaptación de los estándares de su actividad, o la generación de modelos nuevos. La cadena de suministro recibe aportaciones positivas del uso de estas tecnologías. Pero se enfrenta a retos que deben ser afrontados desde el conocimiento y el análisis del nuevo escenario. En este libro, seis personas expertas aportan su conocimiento y su experiencia profesional, presentando una selección de las principales tecnologías que interactúan en la cadena de suministro 4.0, destacando las ventajas y los retos que supondrán para sus procesos operativos. Analizan el fenómeno de los cambios disruptivos como agentes generadores de inseguridad en las empresas, pero también como catalizadores de nuevas oportunidades de desarrollo. Por último, tratan un elemento imprescindible en la industria 4.0: los modelos de organización humana que surgen con la implantación de las tecnologías analizadas. Este libro está dirigido a las personas que intervienen en la gestión y dirección de la cadena de suministro, en la consultoría o en la formación, y a quienes quieren ampliar sus conocimientos sobre la industria 4.0.

Brain Inspired Cognitive Systems - BICS 2010 aims to bring together leading scientists and engineers who use analytic and synthetic methods both to understand the astonishing processing properties of biological systems and specifically of the brain, and to exploit such knowledge to advance engineering methods to build artificial systems with higher levels of cognitive competence. BICS is a meeting point of brain scientists and cognitive systems engineers where cross-domain ideas are fostered in the hope of getting emerging insights on the nature, operation and extractable capabilities of brains. This multiple approach is necessary because the progressively more accurate data about the brain is producing a growing need of a quantitative understanding and an associated capacity to manipulate this data and translate it into engineering applications rooted in sound theories. BICS 2010 is intended for both researchers that aim to build brain inspired systems with higher cognitive competences, and for life scientists who use and develop mathematical and engineering approaches for a better understanding of complex biological systems like the brain. Four major interlaced focal symposia are planned for this conference and these are organized into patterns that encourage cross-fertilization across the symposia topics. This emphasizes the role of BICS as a major meeting point for researchers and practitioners in the areas of biological and artificial cognitive systems. Debates across disciplines will enrich researchers with complementary perspectives from diverse scientific fields. BICS 2010 will take place July 14-16, 2010, in Madrid, Spain.

Presents a hands-on view of the field of multi-view stereo with a focus on practical algorithms. It frames the multiview stereo problem as an image/geometry consistency optimization problem and describesits main two ingredients: robust implementations of photometric consistency measures and efficient optimization algorithms.
