Emotional Machines


Free Download Emotional Machines: Perspectives from Affective Computing and Emotional Human-Machine Interaction
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3658376406 | 454 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 8 MB
Can machines simulate, express or even have emotions? Is it a good to build such machines? How do humans react emotionally to them and how should such devices be treated from a moral point of view? This volume addresses these and related questions by bringing together perspectives from affective computing and emotional human-machine interaction, combining technological approaches with those from the humanities and social sciences. It thus relates disciplines such as philosophy, computer science, technology, psychology, sociology, design, and art. The volume offers readers interested in the phenomenon of emotional machines new perspectives from a variety of disciplines and addresses fundamental questions that will become pressing in the foreseeable future as emotional machines increasingly populate our everyday lives.

Abstract State Machines, Alloy, B, VDM, and Z


Free Download Abstract State Machines, Alloy, B, VDM, and Z: Third International Conference, ABZ 2012, Pisa, Italy, June 18-21, 2012. Proceedings by John Derrick, John Fitzgerald, Stefania Gnesi, Sarfraz Khurshid, Michael Leuschel, Steve Reeves, Elvinia Riccobene
English | PDF | 2012 | 392 Pages | ISBN : 3642308848 | 8.6 MB
This book constitutes the proceedings of the Third International Conference on Abstract State Machines, B, VDM, and Z, which took place in Pisa, Italy, in June 2012. The 20 full papers presented together with 2 invited talks and 13 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 59 submissions. The ABZ conference series is dedicated to the cross-fertilization of five related state-based and machine-based formal methods: Abstract State Machines (ASM), Alloy, B, VDM, and Z. They share a common conceptual foundation and are widely used in both academia and industry for the design and analysis of hardware and software systems. The main goal of this conference series is to contribute to the integration of these formal methods, clarifying their commonalities and differences to better understand how to combine different approaches for accomplishing the various tasks in modeling, experimental validation and mathematical verification of reliable high-quality hardware/software systems.

A New Breed Of Effect
Part FX plug-in, part-synth; Texture synthesises new layers which track the dynamics of your sound. Want to “glue” your hi-hat’s transients by adding dynamic filtered noise? Or how about beefing up that kick drum by automatically adding a low sine wave? Texture makes this easy, intuitive, and fast.

Experimental musicians and sound designers will find a huge range of effects at their fingertips. How about having bubbling water track a keyboard part, or using an explosion to trigger a sequence of pitch-modulating aftershocks? Texture makes all this and more possible.

Or import any sample as a texture source, with full access to Texture’s powerful granular synthesis engine.
