Glossary

Artificial Intelligence:

The study of “intelligent devices” which perceive their environment and act to maximize the possibility of their success at some goal.

Classification:

A general process related to categorization where ideas and objects are recognized, differentiated, and understood.

Clustering:

The process of partitioning a dataset into specific meaningful subsets, by categorizing or grouping similar data items together.

Dynamic System:

A system in which a function describes the time dependence of a point in a geometrical space.

Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA):

An integrated circuit designed to be configured by a customer or a designer after manufacturing.

Swarm Intelligence:

The collective behavior of decentralized, self-organized systems, natural or artificial. The concept is employed in work on artificial intelligence.

Traveling Salesman Problem:

An NP-problem where, providing a list of nodes and their correlation, the shortest possible route is defined.
