Using artificial intelligence and robustness as a unifying theme, this book comments on the basic strategy is found in nature (such as redundancy, granularity, adaptation, improvement, self-healing, etc.), and how this understanding can be used to further study the general design principles for artificial intelligence in the context of various areas of modern research and systems (including computer pervasive, autonomic computing, ambient intelligence, bioinformatics and others). Contributions from experts in the field provide invaluable insights in various fields of cutting-edge research using artificial intelligence and robustness as the central theme.
