The best-selling A First Course in Fuzzy Logic provides an introduction to the theory of fuzzy sets and to its various areas of application in engineering and decision making. This third edition has been completely revised and expanded with new information on copulas and t-norms and features a new section on type-2 fuzzy sets. It also includes expanded information on generalized modus ponens, the compositional rule of inference, possibility theory, partial knowledge, and fuzzy integrals. With exercises at the end of each chapter, this book remains an essential text for students from such fields as artificial intelligence, computer science, engineering, cognitive science, and probability and statistics.

This text provides a self-contained, "no frills," mathematically rigorous derivation from first principles of all basic Kalman filter recursions. This approach relies on a pared-down version of more general state-space models found most often in the literature. Such simplification saves notational complexity without sacrificing conceptual understanding. The rigor found in the book ensures a fundamental understanding of how the Kalman filter actually works, which builds confidence for those employing the filter in their research and writing code to implement it in practice. The author provides implementations of the Kalman filter in Java available for download from his Web site.

This book presents methods for accessing broadcast based M-services from multiple wireless channels. It details a novel infrastructure that provides a multi-channel broadcast framework for mobile users to effectively discover and access composite M-services.

This book reviews acoustic MIMO scenarios for improving human-machine interaction. The book establishes an acoustic MIMO paradigm, linking MIMO signal processing with classical signal processing. Also presented is a novel analysis of acoustic applications to reinforce the fundamentals of acoustic MIMO signal processing.
