Agency and the semantic Web – Christopher Walton - Oxford University Press

ISBN-10: 0199292485 | ISBN-13: 978-0199292486 | Publication Date: December 7, 2006 | Edition: 1

This highly topical text considers the construction of the next generation of the Web, called the Semantic Web. This will enable computers to automatically consume Web-based information, overcoming the human-centric focus of the Web as it stands at present, and expediting the construction of a whole new class of knowledge-based applications that will intelligently utilize Web content.

The text is structured into three main sections on knowledge representation techniques, reasoning with multi-agent systems, and knowledge services. For each of these topics, the text provides an overview of the state-of-the-art techniques and the popular standards that have been defined. Numerous small programming examples are given, which demonstrate how the benefits of the Semantic Web technologies can be realized at the present time. The main theoretical results underlying each of the technologies are presented, and the main problems and research issues which remain are summarized.
Based on a course on ‘Multi-Agent Systems and the Semantic Web’ taught at the University of Edinburgh, this text is ideal for final-year undergraduate and graduate students in Mathematics, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Logic and researchers interested in Multi-Agent Systems and the Semantic Web.

Total Aikido The Master Course

Total Aikido The Master Course – Gozo Shioda with Yasuhisa Shioda

Covers basic postures and movements with special emphasis on certain key points for perfecting one’s technique to achieve maximum effect with the minimum of effort.

This is an English translation of Shioda’s “hidden principles”, finally made available by the Yoshinkan school of Aikido. An outstanding student of Aikido founder Morihei Ueshiba, Shioda taught thousands of people in his lifetime and left a profound legacy, successfully teaching the spiritual and practical applications of a martial art that could all too easily become mired in one or the other.

In this sequel to Dynamic Aikido, the pre-eminent master continues his explanation of the essential principles but in finer detail. Comprehensive and fully illustrated, Total Aikido covers all the basic postures and movements. Demonstrations are provided in a dojo setting, with helpful pointers for avoiding common mistakes. To enable students to develop greater strength and control, they are shown how to increse their speed, shift their centre of gravity, and synchronize movements with those of their opponents. This is a treasury of expert information on Aikido.
