ABOUT
THIS BOOK
This book is a view of Italian
Culture as seen by two, second- and third-generation
Italian-Americans. Their Italian Family was from the
Piedmont region of Italy, and the view does have a
Piedmontese focus, but all of Italy and Italian culture is
explored. Topics include, elements of the Italian language
(including the dialects of Piedmont and Naples), popular
music, history, food and wine, and growing up Italian in the
USA. Both authors are engineers, so a special chapter is
included on left-brained Italians (mathematicians,
scientists, and engineers), a subject not commonly included
in books on Italian culture. The material in the book has
been used by the first author in a course on Italian Culture
taught in the Division of Continuing Education at the
University of New Mexico since 1993.
MY LIFE AND TRAVELS WITH THE
FATHER OF FUZZY LOGIC By Fay Zadeh
List price: $35
ABOUT THIS BOOK
You are invited to come fly
with the Zadehs on their magic carpet as they visit exotic
places around the globe. Learn about distant lands and
peoples through the experiences of two world travelers who
have shared an extraordinary lifetime together. Accompany
them on their trek from the old world to the new, and their
many trips back to the old. Learn about the fascinating man
who has been dubbed, "The Father of Fuzzy Logic." Mrs. Zadeh
wanted to publish this book because there has been nothing
personal written about her husband other than his scientific
and technical achievements. "Since as a person he has an
unusual character, besides his many hobbies, varied
interests, and even hidden passions, I thought his
background and life in general would make him more
interesting and accessible," she says. "We have traveled so
much together, with some unusual adventures... I wanted to
share our experiences with others... to know him as someone
who has his feet on the ground, even though he remains a
kind of "Flying Dutchman" and continues to spread his
thoughts around the world." In this charming, descriptive
narrative, Mrs. Zadeh shares many personal impressions of
people and places. Starting from an early age, Mrs. Zadeh
has collected many interesting stories about "The Father of
Fuzzy Logic". The reader will find these supplemented by
anecdotes of colleagues, relatives, and friends in a
separate appendix at the back of the book along with recipes
of Lotfi's favorite foods. Climb aboard the Zadehs’ magic
carpet of memories and find out more about the "The Father
of Fuzzy Logic."
INTELLIGENT AUTOMATION AND
SOFT COMPUTING Trends in Research, Development, and Applications
Volume 1
Editors: M. Jamshidi, C.C. Nguyen, R. Lumia and J. Yuh
List price: $120
ABOUT THIS BOOK
Economics, automation, and
manufacturing are among areas which have replaced the global
hostilities and confrontations of the past political scene.
Recently, environmental issues have also been raised in many
international forums, such as the Montreal Protocol, which
would make the role of highly interdisciplinary fields such
as manufacturing, automation, and intelligent systems even
more important. One of the most critical factors in
manufacturing is intelligent industrial automation. The role
of Artificial Intelligence and Soft Computing (Fuzzy Logic,
Neural Networks, Genetic Algorithms, and Probabilistic
Reasoning) in producing user-friendly "smart products is now
a reality in the global market place. MIQ (Machine
Intelligence Quotient) is fast becoming an attribute for
many household products. The First World Automation Congress
-- WAC '94 -- was a common forum for international
scientists, engineers, and technologists to come together
and discuss these issues.
The objective of this
first volume of TSI Press' Series on Intelligent
Automation and Soft Computing is to report on the technical
presentations of the WAC '94.

ABOUT
THIS BOOK
Recently, the need for
efficient automation and machine intelligence has led design
engineers to a new field called Intelligent Automation.
lntelligent Automation refers to the use of artificial
intelligence and soft computing (fuzzy logic, neural
networks, genetic algorithms, genetic programming, etc.) in
the automation process. These processes would commonly save
on the development time, production time, and reduces the
overall cost. They may contribute to the overall system MIQ
(Machine Intelligence Quotient). This fourth volume of TSI
Press Series on Intelligent and Soft Computing constitutes a
report on the research papers presented at the second
International Symposium on Intelligent Automation and
Control held within the World Automation Congress (WAC '96)
in Montpellier, France from May 28-30, 1996.

UNDERWATER ROBOTIC VEHICLES
Design and Control
Editor: J. Yuh
List price: $90
ABOUT THIS BOOK
Most of the chapters in
Underwater Robotic Vehicles: Design and Control were
prepared as papers for a workshop entitled "Future Research
Directions in Underwater Robotics," held August, 1994. This
workshop invited researchers, manufacturers, and users of
Underwater Robotic Vehicles (URVs), and its goals were to
discuss the state-of-the-art, explore current and future
applications, and investigate effective collaboration
mechanisms among researchers and manufacturers. The authors
who contributed to this volume, like many of those attending
the workshop, are recognized leaders in the field of URVs.
The objectives of this
three-part book, which contains 14 chapters by 27 authors,
are to guide the design of advanced URV systems by providing
information on recent developments in vehicle technologies
and to reveal potential application areas.

ABOUT
THIS BOOK
With the cold war having
receded, research in space and aeronautics has taken a new
direction in terms of Supersonic and Hypersonic Vehicles.
Applications of hybrid fuzzy systems, evolutionary
strategies, eigenstructure assignment and robust control for
uncertain systems, fault detection systems, and other topics
on computational fluid dynamics are just a few examples of
the exceptional diversity of technical programs in this
research area. The First Industrial/Academy Symposium on
Research for Future Supersonic and Hypersonic Vehicles was a
common forum for international scientists, engineers, and
research students to come together and exchange information.
The objective of this book of TSI Press' Series of First Industrial/Academy Symposium on Research for Future Supersonic and Hypersonic Vehicles is to report on the technical presentations of the Symposium.

List price: $40
ABOUT THIS BOOK
In today's complex
technological world very few individuals can be found who
have achieved world-class stature in both science and
literature. This is in contrast with the distant past, when
the scholarly tradition was directed towards a fundamental
and broad view of knowledge. One rare exception is Professor
Fazlollah Reza, electrical engineer, mathematician, and one
of the leading authorities on Persian literature, especially
on the works of Abolghassem Ferdowsi the great Persian Poet
of the eleventh century. This book is a tribute to Professor
Reza, and it constitutes only a partial record of a
Symposium held in his honor of UCLA in Los Angeles,
California, USA.
DISCONTINUOUS DEFORMATION
ANALYSIS (DDA) AND SIMULATIONS OF DISCONTINUOUS MEDIA
Editors: M. Reza Salami, Don Banks

ABOUT
THIS BOOK
Geologic materials, rocks and
soils, are by their vary nature heterogeneous and
discontinuous. On the grain scale, soils and granular rocks
are composed of randomly arranged particles, either loosely
packed or cemented together. On a larger scale, rocks masses
are typically made up of fractured or jointed blocks of
rock, which may have widely varying properties. On an ever
larger scale, crustal faults and tectonic plate boundaries
are physical discontinuities in rocks and soils which, due
to relative motion between crustal blocks or plates, are the
cause of many destructive and deadly earthquakes around the
world. Such discontinuities, pervasive on all scales, makes
it difficult if not impossible, to model problems of
realistic size or significance using standard methods of
continuum mechanics. Thus, the Discontinuous Deformation
Analysis (DDA) method wad developed. this computational
method permits analysis of multi-body contact and
interaction problems, with specific application to complex
problems in geomechanics. The objective of this Forum is to
bring together experts from around the world to discuss
foundations of the method, to motivate future advancements
of the method, and to share their experiences in applying
DDA to solve practical engineering problems.
The volume of the proceedings constitutes an invaluable resource tool for those interested in the latest developments in the field of Discontinuous Deformation Analysis (DDA) and Simulations of Discontinuous Media.
