Sommario/riassunto

A revised, expanded, and updated second version to the successful Biological Invasions: Economic and Environmental Costs of Alien Plant, Animal, and Microbe Species, this reference discusses how non-native species invade new ecosystems and the subsequent economic and environmental effects of these species. With nine new chapters, this text provides detailed information on the major components of the invasive-species problem from six continents, including impacts on human health and livestock. The book examines ways in which non-native species destroy vital crops and forests; damage ecosystem dynamics, which leads to plant and animal biodiversity losses; and cause soil erosion and water loss--

Sommario/riassunto

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Modeling Decisions for Artificial Intelligence, MDAI 2017, held in Kitakyushu, Japan, in October 2017. The 18 revised full papers presented together with one invited paper and three abstracts of invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 30



submissions. Providing a forum for researchers to discuss models for decision and information fusion (aggregation operators) and their applications to AI, the papers are organized in topical sections on aggregation operators, fuzzy measures and integrals; clustering and classication; data privacy and security; data mining and applications.
