Overview: The C.I.M.E. Summer School at Como in 1986 was the first in that series on the subject of combinatorial optimization. Situated between combinatorics, computer science and operations research, the subject draws on a variety of mathematical methods to deal with problems motivated by real-life applications. Recent research has focussed on the connections to theoretical computer science, in particular to computational complexity and algorithmic issues. The Summer School‘s activity centered on the 4 main lecture courses, the notes of which are included in this volume:978-3-540-51797-9978-

Overview: Die Gestaltung des organisationalen Wandels gehört zu den bedeutendsten Aufgaben von Führungskräften. Jedoch scheitern etwa 70 Prozent aller Veränderungsinitiativen. Julia Pescher zeigt grundlegende Wirkmechanismen und Prozesse von Veränderungen auf. Sie wertet Daten von mehr als 100 Unternehmen mit Hilfe der multivariaten Analysemethode der Cluster-Analyse aus, klassifiziert branchenübergreifend typische Gestaltungsformen des Change Managements in der Praxis und erläutert Unterschiede in ihren Erfolgsauswirkungen. Darüber hinaus illustriert sie Ansatzpunkte für die erfolgreiche Gest

Overview: .This book gathers the proceedings of the ICAFFI International Conference on Accounting, Finance and Financial Institutions. The main topics addressed include: corporate finance, financial markets and asset pricing, empirical finance, taxation, financial risk management, international finance, financial econometrics, financial reporting and accounting standards, managerial accounting, measuring financial performance, accounting information systems, and current issues in accounting and finance in emerging and other markets. Presenting both cutting-edge research and a broad set of meth

Overview: Develops and embeds understanding of the problems and challenges of contemporary global security.Provides a framework for analysis of the security institutions in a cross-disciplinary manner.Argues thThis book focuses on current key issues of international security from an actor-centered approach. The volume is divided into 3 sections: the first part analyses an array of security issues in Europe, the second one explores how those security issues play out in the Americas, and the third focuses on Africa. Each of the chapter authors outlines the relevant ideas, interests and instituti

Overview: Describes the best algorithms to measure collective behavior in soccer and other team sports.Explains how computational metrics based on geo-referencing can be used to identify collective properties o.This book provides an account of the use of computational tactical metrics in improving sports analysis, in particular the use of Global Positioning System (GPS) data in soccer. As well as offering a practical perspective on collective behavioural analysis, it introduces the computational metrics available in the literature that allow readers to identify collective behaviour and pattern

Overview: Bridges novel findings from academia to real-world challenges in business, industry, and government.Showcases true cross-seeding between the fields of combinatorics, graph theory, and computing.Brings This proceedings volume convenes selected, revised papers presented at the 52nd Southeastern International Conference on Combinatorics, Graph Theory and Computing (SEICCGTC 2021), virtually held at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, USA, on March 8-12, 2021. As has been a tradition since its inception in 1970, this edition once more brought together mathematicians, practitioners

Overview: Proffers some sustainable policy options for curtailing lawlessness and armed conflict on the continent.Explores some of the emerging concerns and offers a holistic understanding of the remote and immThis edited volume reflects on some of the important discussions on the trends of governance, conflict and security in Africa. It explores some of the emerging concerns and offers a holistic understanding of the remote and immediate causes of the conflict and how the neo-colonial African states have been structured in a manner that makes violent conflict inevitable. The book thereby prov

Overview: Provides insights on the interplay between semantics and pragmatics.Cross-linguistic and multi-paradigm approach coupled with rich data.Novel, state-of-the-art views on central topics in linguistic reA group of authors containing both leading authorities and young researchers addresses a number of issues of contrastiveness, polarity items and exhaustivity, quantificational expressions and the implicatures they generate, and the interaction between semantic operators and speech acts. The 19 contributions provide insights on the interplay between semantics and pragmatics. The volume’s

Kurt Hirschhorn and Marvin Legator, the other members of the editorial board. Alexander Hollaender January 1971 Preface The purpose of these volumes is to encourage the development and ap­ plication of testing and monitoring procedures to avert significant human exposure to mutagenic agents. The need for protection against exposure to possibly mutagenic chemicals is only now coming to be generally realized. The recently issued Report of th

Overview: Presents an integrated and interdisciplinary approach to conversational systems together with materials from a broad background.Gives detailed explanations of original techniques such as 3D conversatiThis book covers an approach to conversational informatics which encompasses science and technology for understanding and augmenting conversation in the network age. A major challenge in engineering is to develop a technology for conveying not just messages but also underlying wisdom. Relevant theories and practices in cognitive linguistics and communication science, as well as technique

Overview: Latest research in the area of theory and applications of fusion of intelligent paradigmsThis book is about synergy in computational intelligence (CI). It is a c- lection of chapters that covers a rich and diverse variety of computer-based techniques, all involving some aspect of computational intelligence, but each one taking a somewhat pragmatic view. Many complex problems in the real world require the application of some form of what we loosely call “intel- gence”fortheirsolution.

Overview: Coral reef communities are among the most complex, mature and productive ecosystems on earth. Their activity resulted in the creation of vast lime constructions. Being extremely productive and having the function of a powerful biofilter, coral reefs play an important role in global biogeochemical processes and in the reproduction of food resources in tropical marine regions. All aspects of coral reef science are covered systematically and on the basis of a holistic ecosystem approach. The geological history of coral reefs, their geomorphology as well as biology including community st
