This book discusses computer-supported medical diagnosis with a particular focus on ovarian tumor diagnosis – since ovarian cancer is difficult to diagnose and has high mortality rates, especially in Central and Eastern Europe. It presents the theoretical foundations (both medical and mathematical) of the intelligent OvaExpert system, which supports decision-making in tumor diagnosis. OvaExpert was created primarily to help gynecologists predict the malignancy of ovarian tumors by applying the existing diagnostic models and using modern methods of computationalintelligence that accommodate imprecise and imperfect medical data, both of which are common features of everyday medical practice. The book presents novel methods based on interval-valued fuzzy sets and the theory of their cardinalities.

This book focuses on the use of artificial intelligence to address a specific problem in the brain – the orientation distribution function. It discusses three aspects: (i) Preparing, enhancing and evaluating one of the cuckoo search algorithms (CSA); (ii) Describing the problem: Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) is used for non-invasive investigations of anatomical connectivity in the human brain, while Q-ball imaging (QBI) is a diffusion MRI reconstruction technique based on the orientation distribution function (ODF), which detects the dominant fiber orientations; however, ODF lacks local estimation accuracy along the path. (iii) Evaluating the performance of the CSA versions in solving the ODF problem using synthetic and real-world data. This book appeals to both postgraduates and researchers who are interested in the fields of medicine and computer science.

1.1 Motivation Throughout the last decade, major car manufacturers have introduced a great - riety of di?erent assistance systems to make driving safer and more comfortable. Mechatronic systems like dynamic stability control, situation dependant suspension adjustment or the recently introduced night vision cameras are just a few examples among a range of helpful developments. The current focus of research is on cognitive assistance systems for high-level p- ception of the environment. Rather than present mere images to the driver, these future systems extract all relevant information and provide a reduced set that alerts to possible dangers or, in a further stage, directly takes over control of the vehicle to prevent accidents. TheseStepsTowardstheSeeingCar were presented as a keynote speech at theAdvancedMicrosystemsforAutomotiveApplications2007 conference byVolkswagen [87]. In addition to radar, ultrasonic and laser sensors, concepts include video cameras for the perception of the medium and far range. Video will play an especially important role in future driver assistance, since the tra?c environment is designed for human needs, and thus relies predominantly on visual cues. For the visual assessment of the environment, two aspects are crucial and will be covered in this book. First, the vehicle has to know its own motion in space in order to reliably di?erentiate visual motion caused by other objects, such as moving pedestrians, from that of the static environment generated by the car’s own movement. Second, the visual sensor needs to cover a wide range with high resolution and precision.

The Web has revolutionized the way we seek information on all aspects of education, entertainment, business, health and so on. The Web has evolved into a publishing medium, global electronic market and increasingly, a platform for conducting electronic commerce. A part of this success can be attributed to the tremendous advances made in the Artificial intelligence field. The popularity of the Web has opened many opportunities to develop smart Web-based systems using artificial intelligence techniques. There exist numerous Web technology and applications that can benefit with the application of artificial intelligence techniques. It is not possible to cover them all in one book with a required degree of quality, depth and width. We present this book to discuss some important Web developments by using artificial intelligence techniques in the areas of Web personalisation, semantic Web and Web services. The primary readers of this book are undergraduate/postgraduate students, researchers and practitioners in information technology and computer science related areas. The success of this book is largely due to the collective efforts of a great team consisting of authors and reviewers. We are grateful to them for their vision and wonderful support. The final quality of selected papers reflects their efforts. Finally we would like to thank the Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane Australia and University of South Australia, Adelaide Australia for providing us the resources and time to undertake this task. We extend our sincere thanks to Scientific Publishing Services Pvt. Ltd., for the editorial support.
