Book Description
LA TRANSPOSITION DES PROBLEMES-JOUETS DE LABORATOIRE AUX APPLICATIONS INDUSTRIELLES A MONTRE LES LIMITES DE L'EMPLOI D'UN MODELE CONNEXIONNISTE ISOLE COMME SOLUTION POLYVALENTE. EN DEPIT DE RESULTATS PLUS CONVAINCANTS, L'INTEGRATION DE CES MODELES DANS DES SYSTEMES DE PRE- OU POST-TRAITEMENTS, ELABORES AVEC LES OUTILS DES SCIENCES DE L'INGENIEUR, S'AVERE ENCORE INSUFFISANTE. DANS CE CONTEXTE, L'EMPLOI DE SOLUTIONS HYBRIDES, AU SEIN MEME DES ARCHITECTURES NEURONALES, SEMBLE PLUS FRUCTUEUX. LA GESTION DE SYSTEMES MULTI-RESEAUX POSE CEPENDANT DES DIFFICULTES LIEES A LA COMPATIBILITE STRUCTURELLE, A L'HARMONISATION DES FONCTIONS, A LA MISE EN PLACE DE COOPERATIONS, ETC. CETTE THESE PROPOSE LES FONDEMENTS D'UNE STRUCTURE D'ACCUEIL PERMETTANT LA CREATION DE TELLES ARCHITECTURES. ELLE SE PLACE DANS LA CONTINUITE DE TRAVAUX BASES SUR UN MODELE D'INSPIRATION NEUROBIOLOGIQUE DU CORTEX CEREBRAL ET SITUES ENTRE LES APPROCHES BAS NIVEAUX ET COGNITIVISTES. APRES AVOIR MONTRE L'INTERET D'UNE MEILLEURE PRISE EN COMPTE DE LA COMPREHENSION DU VIVANT POUR LA REALISATION DE DISPOSITIFS ARTIFICIELS, ELLE DECRIT UN CADRE FORMEL ASSOCIANT UN CERTAIN NOMBRE DE CONCEPTS (HIERARCHIE, CONNECTIVITE, PLASTICITE, ...) SUSCEPTIBLES DE CONDUIRE A L'ELABORATION INCREMENTALE DE RESEAUX COMPLEXES. L'EXPOSE SE POURSUIT PAR LA PRESENTATION D'OUTILS INFORMATIQUES FLEXIBLES, ADAPTES A L'ETUDE DU MODELE CORTICAL AINSI QU'A SON ENSEIGNEMENT ET FACILITANT LA CONCEPTION DE CES META-SYSTEMES. QUELQUES EXEMPLES ILLUSTRENT ENSUITE LES ATTRAITS PLURIDISCIPLINAIRES DE CES OUTILS ET METTENT EN EVIDENCE LES GAINS APPORTES AUX TEMPS DE DEVELOPPEMENT. ENFIN, LA DERNIERE PARTIE DE CETTE THESE SOULEVE LE PROBLEME DE L'ACCELERATION DES SIMULATIONS ET CONSIDERE DES SOLUTIONS A COURT OU MOYEN TERME, PERMETTANT LA REALISATION D'APPLICATIONS TEMPS REEL

Book Description
Self-organization constitutes one of the most important theoretical debates in contemporary life sciences. The present book explores the relevance of the concept of self-organization and its impact on such scientific fields as: immunology, neurosciences, ecology and theories of evolution. Historical aspects of the issue are also broached. Intuitions relative to self-organization can be found in the works of such key western philosophical figures as Aristotle, Leibniz and Kant. Interacting with more recent authors and cybernetics, self-organization represents a notion in keeping with the modern world's discovery of radical complexity. The themes of teleology and emergence are analyzed by philosophers of sciences with regards to the issues of modelization and scientific explanation. The implications of self-organization for life sciences are here approached from an interdisciplinary angle, revealing the notion as already rewarding and full of promise for the future.

Book Description
This book examines how the computer, as we currently know it, will be replaced by a new generation of technologies, moving computing off the desktop and ultimately integrating it with real world objects and everyday environments. It provides a unique combination of concepts, methods and prototypes of ubiquitous and pervasive computing reflecting the current interest in smart environments and ambient intelligence.

Book Description
This thought-provoking work analyzes concrete political events and reinterprets key concepts in modern political science. Building on the works of Kant, Badiou, Adorno, Hegel, and more, it posits that the dynamics of revolution can be encapsulated in the concept of negation, since a revolution essentially negates "what is" by rejecting the power in place. The work argues that revolution is the true ground of Western democracy and that the proof of a true democracy is the activity of protest movements. It discusses how modern philosophy conceives political truth as revolutionary or eventful, and that one aspect of revolution is negativity, which fluctuates between inertia and melancholia. It examines the problem of revolution in the context of modern philosophy, providing a diagnosis of the historical developments since the fall of the Soviet Union to the Arab Spring, setting forth an original theory of revolution while shedding light on the notion of negativity in contemporary thought. This innovative work will appeal to anyone interested in political theory and political philosophy.

Book Description
As Aristotle stated, scientific explanation is based on deductive argument-yet, Wesley C. Salmon points out, not all deductive arguments are qualified explanations. The validity of the explanation must itself be examined. Four Decades of Scientific Explanation provides a comprehensive account of the developments in scientific explanation that transpired in the last four decades of the twentieth century. It continues to stand as the most comprehensive treatment of the writings on the subject during these years.Building on the historic 1948 essay by Carl G. Hempel and Paul Oppenheim, "Studies in the Logic of Explanation," which introduced the deductive-nomological (D-N) model on which most work on scientific explanation was based for the following four decades, Salmon goes beyond this model's inherent basis of describing empirical knowledge to tells us "not only what, but also why." Salmon examines the predominant models in chronological order and describes their development, refinement, and criticism or rejection.Four Decades of Scientific Explanation underscores the need for a consensus of approach and ongoing evaluations of methodology in scientific explanation, with the goal of providing a better understanding of natural phenomena.

Book Description
A Lacanian look at how comedy might come to philosophy's rescue, with examples ranging from Hegel and Molière to George W. Bush and Borat. Why philosophize about comedy? What is the use of investigating the comical from philosophical and psychoanalytic perspectives? In The Odd One In, Alenka Zupančič considers how philosophy and psychoanalysis can help us understand the movement and the logic involved in the practice of comedy, and how comedy can help philosophy and psychoanalysis recognize some of the crucial mechanisms and vicissitudes of what is called humanity. Comedy by its nature is difficult to pin down with concepts and definitions, but as artistic form and social practice comedy is a mode of tarrying with a foreign object—of including the exception. Philosophy's relationship to comedy, Zupančič writes, is not exactly a simple story (and indeed includes some elements of comedy). It could begin with the lost book of Aristotle's Poetics, which discussed comedy and laughter (and was made famous by Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose). But Zupančič draws on a whole range of philosophers and exemplars of comedy, from Aristophanes, Molière, Hegel, Freud, and Lacan to George W. Bush and Borat. She distinguishes incisively between comedy and ideologically imposed, “naturalized” cheerfulness. Real, subversive comedy thrives on the short circuits that establish an immediate connection between heterogeneous orders. Zupančič examines the mechanisms and processes by which comedy lets the odd one in.

Book Description
Although there are scores of books on the theme of revolution, Ilan Rachum's study is unique in its analysis from the perspective of political discourse. It examines how the term 'revolution' entered Western political vocabulary through a historical survey covering the early Renaissance to the French Revolution. Antecedents of the term 'revolution' originated in Italy, from where they spread with modifications to France and finally England. Rachum also examines the use and significance of the term during the Enlightenment, the emergence of the epithet 'American Revolution', and the rebounding effects of this term on French intellectuals on the eve of 1789. This fascinating study will excite historians, political scientists, and anyone with an interest in the history of ideas that have had a lasting impact on how we perceive and describe social change.

Book Description
The questions which this volume seeks to address include: what is translation competence? How can it be built and developed? How can the product of the performance be used to measure levels of competence? These questions are addressed with specific reference to the training situation. They are arranged in three sections, the first focusing on the identification of subcompetences.
