Artificial Intelligence in Theory and Practice II

ISBN: 0387096957

Languages : en
Pages : 457
Book Description
The papers in this volume comprise the refereed proceedings of the conference ‘ Artificial Intelligence in Theory and Practice’ (IFIP AI 2008), which formed part of the 20th World Computer Congress of IFIP, the International Federation for Information Processing (WCC-2008), in Milan, Italy in September 2008. The conference is organised by the IFIP Technical Committee on Artificial Intelligence (Technical Committee 12) and its Working Group 12.5 (Artificial Intelligence Applications). All papers were reviewed by at least two members of our Program Committee. Final decisions were made by the Executive Program Committee, which comprised John Debenham (University of Technology, Sydney, Australia), Ilias Maglogiannis (University of Aegean, Samos, Greece), Eunika Mercier-Laurent (KIM, France) and myself. The best papers were selected for the conference, either as long papers (maximum 10 pages) or as short papers (maximum 5 pages) and are included in this volume. The international nature of IFIP is amply reflected in the large number of countries represented here. The conference also featured invited talks by Prof. Nikola Kasabov (Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand) and Prof. Lorenza Saitta (University of Piemonte Orientale, Italy). I should like to thank the conference chair, John Debenham for all his efforts and the members of our program committee for reviewing papers to a very tight deadline.

Pages : 204
Book Description
La Costa Reed is a bestselling author with a sordid past. Her life is an open book, but will one well-guarded secret threaten to tarnish it all? LA COSTA is a survivor of poverty and abhorrent childhood abuses. From the dirt lots of West Memphis, to the streets of LA, she manages to completely reinvent herself. After rising from the snares of the adult entertainment world as a stripper in an esteemed gentlemen’s club in the city, La Costa lands a new job and a fresh start in Nevada, as a receptionist. Later, she joins forces with business owner Georgia Byrne, a celebrity relic in the modeling industry. She becomes La Costa’s mentor, boss, and newfound muse. Together, they forge a rather unorthodox family, as La Costa, along with her two-year-old son, Louis, join Georgia in renovating their lives, along with a nineteenth-century beach house in the Carolinas that they all call home. Thanks to a twist of fate, La Costa is commissioned to write Georgia’s biography, which garners the attention of the publishing industry, and soon catapults the unknown writer’s career to best-selling status as a celebrated author of contemporary romance fiction. Now, thirteen years later, with the release of La Costa’s own controversial memoir, paired with an offer to co-host Global Network’s newest talk show, this highly acclaimed genre queen is about to meet the two most shocking plot twists of her life. One that portends to steal her heart with a second-act romance, and the other that threatens to rip it from her chest. La Costa comes to find that not only is life stranger than fiction, but that past demons die hard. Sexy Ink! is the fourth book in Jamie Collins’ Secrets and Stilettos women’s fiction series. If you enjoy page-turning stories about strong, fearless women who make tough choices—and boldly survive them—you will devour this read.
