Synopsis

The book to which I was asked by the editors to write a foreword is an interesting collection of contributions. It presents the extended versions of the authors' works already introduced at the International Multi-Conference on Advanced Computer Information and Security Systems ACS-CISIM 2005. These contributions had already been reviewed once before the conference for presentation at the conference while some of them passed another selection to be prepared in their current versions for this book. I am convinced the book will be of help to the researchers in the field of Computer Methods in Biometrics, Security Systems and Artificial Intelligence. They would find the contributions of other researchers of real benefit to them. I would encourage those who have the book in hands to read it. Professor Andrzej Salwicki Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Mechanics Warsaw University, Poland ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The editors are thankfUl to all contributors whose works have proved to be of great interest to all participants of the International Conference ACS-CISIM, which was held in Elk, Poland in summer 2005. We also are greatly indebted to the Invited Speakers for their really worth listening and reading keynote talks.

About this title

From the Back Cover

This book presents the most recent achievements in some fascinating and rapidly developing fields within Computer Science.  The scientific works presented in this book have been partitioned into three topical groups: Image Analysis and Biometrics, Computer Security Systems, and Artificial Intelligence and Applications.  Image Analysis and Biometrics is the branch of Computer Science dealing with the very difficult task of artificial, visual perception of objects and surroundings, as well as the problems connected with it.  Computer Security and Safety is at present a very important and intensively investigated branch of Computer Science because of the menacing activity of hackers and computer viruses.  Artificial Intelligence remains a constantly evolving field with applications that are really noteworthy.

This book contains over 30 articles by well-known scientists and engineers reflecting the latest developments in these fields.  The articles are extended versions of works introduced at the International Multi-Conference on Advanced Computer Information and Security Systems, ACS-CISIM 2005.
