Overview: Das Kaufverhalten von Kunden wird von einer Vielzahl von Faktoren beeinflusst. In der Markt- und Sozialforschung sowie in der Unternehmenspraxis werden Conjoint-Analysen angewendet, um diese Faktoren zu untersuchen, jedoch stellen sie hohe Anforderungen an die Probanden. Joachim R. Pelz formuliert ein Modell zur Analyse der Aussagefähigkeit und -willigkeit von Probanden, das mit einer umfangreichen empirischen Untersuchung verifiziert wird. Der Einfluss auf die Ergebnisgüte und die Ursachen der Aussagefähigkeit und -willigkeit werden identifiziert und quantifiziert. Die Implikationen

Overview: Includes supplementary material: A Source Book for the History of Mathematics, but one which offers a different perspective by focusinng on algorithms. With the development of computing has come an awakening of interest in algorithms. Often neglected by historians and modern scientists, more concerned with the nature of concepts, algorithmic procedures turn out to have been instrumental in the development of fundamental ideas: practice led to theory just as much as the other way round. The purpose of this book is to offer a historical background to contemporary algorithmic practice.9

Overview: Uses concrete examples to show how precious social relations can be.helps the reader understand the underlying mechanisms to various concepts as participation, and of populism distortion.Cross-discipl.​The purpose of the book is to propose and exploit an analytical, critical, well defined theory of a very crucial human social relation that I call “Tutelarity/ Tutelage”. This will thus explain how/why such relation is so relevant at any layer of sociality: from affective relationships, to social cooperation and interactions, to politics and democracy. The approach is theoretical and s

It has been successfully applied to e.g. planning problems, configuration and verification of software, diagnosis and database repairs. However, ASP is not directly suitable for modeling problems with continuous domains. Such problems occur naturally in diverse fields such
