Overview: This book addresses an area of perception engineering which deals with constructive processes. A model of the environment is analyzed using the information acquired from mUltiple viewpoints of multiple disparate sensors at multiple time instants. Although the role of successive model building and active exploration of the environment, as is discussed in this book, is of great importance, only a few researchers of machine perception have thus far addressed the problem in these directions. Krotkov‘s book, which is a modification and continuation of his highly successful dissertation, f

With a focus on the opportunities for businesses rather than the burden that big data can represent

Overview: First systematical and at the same time the most comprehensive presentation of the large body of knowledge one has gained for Toeplitz operators, including many techniques and results that are due to Since the late 1980s, Toeplitz operators and matrices have remained a ?eld of extensive research and the development during the last nearly twenty years is impressive. One encounters Toeplitz matrices in plenty of applications on the one hand, and Toeplitz operators con?rmed their role as the basic elementary building blocks of more complicated operators on the other. Several monographs

Overview: Das Abwicklungsmanagement von Entwicklungskooperationen ist ein entscheidender Erfolgsfaktor zur Erschließung wesentlicher Zeit-, Kosten- und Qualitätsvorteile. Die Gestaltung der kooperationsspezifischen Projektorganisation sowie die instrumentelle Ausstattung ermöglichen erst effiziente Know-how-Nutzung bei flexibel erhöhten Kapazitäten und sinkenden Fixkosten. Christoph P. Figge entwirft ein Konzept zum erfolgreichen Abwicklungsmanagement von Kooperationen zwischen Wettbewerbern. Ausgehend von Abwicklungskosten, Spezialisierungseffekten und Informationsasymmetrien sowie dem Nutzen

Overview: Das Buch, das die Bedeutung der Mathematik dokumentiert.Ein Blick in das Frühjahrsprogramm 1990 der Urania genügte, um festzustellen, dass diese traditionsreiche Berliner Bildungsstätte eine erstaunliche Breite an Themen auf­ wies: Frühgeschichte und aktuelle Politik, Geistes-und Naturwissenschaften, Dia-Vor­ träge über den Hindukusch und medizinische Vorsorgetipps - alle Gebiete waren ver­ treten. Alle bis auf eines: Es gab keinen einzigen Vortrag über Mathematik. Als wir im Mai 1990 mit dem Direktor der Urania darüber sprachen, wollten wir genau dies än­ dern und mit den gängigen V

Overview: All twelve chapters greatly revised with six chapters extensively expanded and updated.Primarily covers classical data analysis methods while also treating machine learning and data mining methods.Inc.Now in a thoroughly revised and expanded second edition, this classroom-tested text demonstrates and illustrates how to apply concepts and methods learned in disparate courses such as mathematical modeling, probability, statistics, experimental design, regression, optimization, parameter estimation, inverse modeling, risk analysis, decision-making, and sustainability assessment methods

Overview: This volume of the LNCS series contains the proceedings of the 5th Internat- nal Working Conference on Active Networks (IWAN 2003) held in the ancient cultural city of Kyoto, Japan. This year we received 73 submissions. The increasing number indicates that Active Networks continues to be an attractive ?eld of research. Through - reful reviewing and discussion, our program committee decided to fully accept 21 papers. Three papers were conditionally accepted, and were included after shepherding by members of the technical program committee. This volume thus includes these 24 papers whi

Overview: In this chapter we are largely influenced in our choice of material by the demands of the rest of the book. However, we take the view that this is an opportunity for the student to grasp basic categorical notions which permeate so much of mathematics today, including, of course, algebraic topology, so that we do not allow ourselves to be rigidly restricted by our immediate objectives. A reader totally unfamiliar with category theory may find it easiest to restrict his first reading of Chapter II to Sections 1 to 6; large parts of the book are understandable with the material presente

Overview: Assessment is central to the social work process and yet is becoming an increasingly burdensome and complex task, under pressure of burgeoning governmental and agency guidelines issuing from the Community Care Act, The Children‘s Act and Criminal Justice Acts, as well as movements towards user-participation and empowerment. This book offers a clear and practical guide that does not skirt the uncertainties and ambiguities inherent to assessment, but rather offers clear and usable principles from which social workers can develop thorough and meaningful analyses of their clients‘ situat

Overview: Die 42. Aachener Bausachverständigentage behandeln schwerpunktmäßig den sich daraus ergebenden Konflikt, dass sowohl die öffentlich-rechtlichen als auch die privatrechtlichen Anforderungen und Erwartungen an Bauwerke stetig steigen. Einerseits soll mit neuesten und leistungsfähigsten Bauweisen gebaut werden, andererseits sollen sich diese bereits über längere Zeit praktisch bewährt haben. Diese widersprüchlichen Erwartungen werden an Beispielen aus verschiedenen Bereichen des Bauens verdeutlicht. Darauf aufbauend wird im Rahmen von Pro + Kontra das Thema A.nerkannte Regeln der Techni

Overview: Includes numerous hands-on applications of the stated theorems in each chapter.The van der Pol, Duffing and Mathieu equations are discussed in detail.Provides scientists and engineers with a concise sThis primer on averaging theorems provides a practical toolbox for applied mathematicians, physicists, and engineers seeking to apply the well-known mathematical theory to real-world problems. With a focus on practical applications, the book introduces new approaches to dissipative and Hamiltonian resonances and approximations on timescales longer than 1/ε..Accessible and clearly written
