Overview: This is the eighth year that the Agent-Oriented Information Systems (AOIS) workshops have been held. Papers submitted to AOIS show an increase in quality and maturity as agent technology is being increasingly seen as a viable alternative for software and systems development. In AOIS, we focus on the application of agent technology in information systems development and explore the potential for facilitating the increased usage of agent technology in the creation of information systems in the widest sense. This year’s workshops were held in conjunction with two major, international co

Among the topics addressed are parallelism, distributed systems, approximation, combinatorial optimization, computational biology, computational geometry, external-memory algorithms, graph algorithms, network algorithms, online algorithms, data compression, symbolic computation, pattern matching, a

Overview: .Sebastian Link geht in diesem Buch der Frage nach, welche Auswirkungen mit dem Erwerbseinstiegsprozess verbundene Risiken (Arbeitslosigkeit, Niedriglohnbeschäftigung) und atypische Beschäftigungsverhältnisse auf die Armutsbetroffenheit junger Erwachsener in Deutschland haben. Mithilfe von Quer- und Längsschnittanalysen auf Basis des Sozio-Oekonomischen Panels zeigt er, dass nicht in erster Linie das gehäufte Auftreten von Erwerbsrisiken und atypischer Beschäftigung zu einem Armutsanstieg bei jungen Erwachsenen geführt hat, sondern die Verstärkung ihrer negativen finanziellen Folgen.

Overview: A selection of papers presented at the international conference`Applied Logic: Logic at Work‘, held in Amsterdam in December 1992.Nowadays, the term `applied logic‘ has a very wide meaning, asnumerous applications of logical methods in computer science, formallinguistics and other fields testify. Such applications are by nomeans restricted to the use of known logical techniques: at its best,applied logic involves a back-and-forth dialogue between logicaltheory and the problem domain.. The papers focus on theapplication of logic to the study of natural language, in syntax,semantics an

Overview: Examines emerging tensions as a result of the use of social media in adoptive families in the UK, US and across the world.Analyses the use of popular media and as a narrative tool.Assesses the implica.Adoption in the Digital Age .explores the transformation of adoption due to social and digital media technologies. The most prolific of these changes can be seen within contact arrangements, particularly those that are not managed by an intermediary, between adopted minors and their biological kin. Within this shift, it becomes clear that this often-breached contact arrangement lends it

Overview: This book vigorously challenges the dominant academic view of ASBOs as erroneous tools of social control, and offers an alternative perspective on anti-social behaviour management which argues that ASBOs are capable of enabling a positive process of engagement among local authorities, housing professionals and residents.978-1-349-36935-5978-0-230-28124-0

Overview: Enables learning of fundamental theory of design processes and how to create value from experiences.Discusses how to conduct data-driven decision making in design processes from the Deming cycle (PDCA.The intention behind this book is to illustrate the deep relation among human behavior, data-centric science, and social design. In fact, these three issues have been independently developing in different fields, although they are, of course, deeply interrelated to one another. Specifically, fundamental understanding of human behavior should be employed for investigating our human socie

Overview: This book is the outgrowth of the COMETT II Course on Advanced Instru­ mentation, Data Interpretation, and Control of Biotechnological Processes organized by the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven and the Universiteit Gent, and held at Gent, Belgium, October 1994.

Overview: Proves a Conjecture on Circle Packing Manifolds.Includes supplementary material: .Dominik Volland studies the construction of a discrete counterpart to the Hilbert transform in the realm of a nonlinear discrete complex analysis given by circle packings. The Hilbert transform is closely related to Riemann-Hilbert problems which have been studied in the framework of circle packings by E. Wegert and co-workers since 2009. The author demonstrates that the discrete Hilbert transform is well-defined in this framework by proving a conjecture on discrete problems formulated by Wegert. Moreov
