Die Medienindustrie befindet sich im Wandel. Ausgehend von der digitalen Revolution hat-te sich die Bereitstellung von Medienprodukten in den vergangenen Jahren bereits erheb-lich verändert. Eine zentrale Herausforderung für Medienunternehmen besteht vor allem darin, der zunehmenden Bedeutung...

Cloud Computing is a topic that has gained momentum in the last years. Current studies show that anincreasing number of companies is evaluating the promised advantages and considering making use ofcloud services. In this paper we investigate the phenomenon of cloud computing and its importance...

This paper describes results of the simulation of social objects, the dependenceof schoolchildren's professional abilities on their personal characteristics. Thesimulation tool is the articial neural network (ANN) technology. Results of acomparison of the time expense for training the ANN and...

This paper describes articial neural networks which are based on the adaptiveresonance theory. The usage of these articial neural networks for classicationtasks is presented. The example uses is the classication of patient health fromthe results of general blood analysis.[...]

An estimation of the number of multiplication and addition operations fortraining articial neural networks by means of consecutive and parallel algorithmson a computer cluster is carried out. The evaluation of the eciency of thesealgorithms is developed. The multilayer perceptron, the Volterra...
