Overview: This monograph is the result of the cooperation of a mathematician working in universal algebra and geometry, and a computer scientist working in automated deduction, who succeeded in employing the theorem prover Otter for proving first order theorems from mathematics and then intensified their joint effort..Mathematicians will find many new results from equational logic, universal algebra, and algebraic geometry and benefit from the state-of-the-art outline of the capabilities of automated deduction techniques. Computer scientists will find a large and varied source of theorems and

Overview: Vor 13 Jahren fand im November 1985 an der Universität Karlsruhe erstmals das Fachgespräch über "Autonome Mobile Systeme" statt. Seither wird es regelmäßig jedes Jahr alternierend einmal in München, Karlsruhe und seit 1994 auch in Stuttgart abgehalten. Diese Tradition entwickelte sich insbesondere durch Forschungs­ schwerpunkte, Verbundprojekte und Sonderforschungsbereiche, die an diesen Universitäten zu dem Thema autonome Systeme bearbeitet wurden, aktuell laufen oder in Planung sind. Im Dezember 1998 findet das 14. Fachgespräch "Autonome Mobile Systeme" (AMS‘98) nunmehr das siebte

Overview: Today, when systematic philosophy - and reason itself - are challenged both outside of and within philosophy, is it still possible to do metaphysics? This volume provides a broad perspective on contemporary approaches to the nature and the fundamental questions of metaphysics. Drawing on scholars from continental Europe, Asia, Canada, the United States, and Great Britain, and representing a variety of philosophical cultures and traditions, this volume surveys and extends work in metaphysics and its implications for broader philosophical concerns (e.g., in ethics and social philosophy

Overview: .The topic of using views to answer queries has been popular for a few decades now, as it cuts across domains such as query optimization, information integration, data warehousing, website design, and, recently, database-as-a-service and data placement in cloud systems...This book assembles foundational work on answering queries using views in a self-contained manner, with an effort to choose material that constitutes the backbone of the research. It presents efficient algorithms and covers the following problems: query containment; rewriting queries using views in various logical la

Overview: All the contributors are well known in their fieldThis volume is based on the course notes of the 2nd NCN Pedagogical School, the second in the series of Pedagogical Schools in the frame work of the European TMR project, "Breakthrough in the control of nonlinear systems (Nonlinear Control Network)". The school consists of four courses that have been chosen to give a broad range of techniques for the analysis and synthesis of nonlinear control systems, and have been developed by leading experts in the field. The topics covered are: Differential Algebraic Methods in Nonlinear Systems;

Overview: .Anti–Money Laundering in a Nutshell.is a concise, accessible, and practical guide to compliance with anti–money laundering law for financial professionals, corporate investigators, business managers, and all personnel of financial institutions who are required, under penalty of hefty fines, to get anti–money laundering training..Money laundering is endemic. As much as 5 percent of global GDP ($3.6 trillion) is laundered by criminals each year. It’s no wonder that every financial institution in the United States—including banks, credit card companies, insurers, securities brokerages,

Overview: Modern neoclassical economics is a theory of general equilibrium. It is based on highly unrealistic assumptions and yields a number of false predictions. The alternative model, presented in this book, uses a wider definition of technology, and emphasises the role of the entrepreneur as the primary agent of change. Because it takes time for firms to improve their technology, and to acquire the necessary finance for expansion, there are wide differences in firm sizes, and in their profitability. The competitive struggle to develop better technology raises the level of productivity of t
