Overview: Meta-heuristics have developed dramatically since theirinception in the early 1980s. They have had widespread success inattacking a variety of practical and difficult combinatorialoptimization problems. These families of approaches include, but arenot limited to greedy random adaptive search procedures, geneticalgorithms, problem-space search, neural networks, simulatedannealing, tabu search, threshold algorithms, and their hybrids. Theyincorporate concepts based on biological evolution, intelligentproblem solving, mathematical and physical sciences, nervous systems,and statistical m

Overview: Praxiserprobte Strategien für den Weg in die osteuropäischen Märkte!Am 1. Mai 2004 hat die Europäische Union mit den zehn Beitrittsstaaten Mittel- und Osteuropas einen neuen Wachstumsmotor erhalten. Deren kombinierte Wirtschaftskraft entsprach zum Beitritt zwar nur ungefähr der Bayerns, aber das Wachstum der mittel- und osteuropäischen Staaten liegt weit über dem Bayerns, Deutschlands oder der EU. Von diesem Wachstum pro- tieren auch deutsche Unternehmen. Sie sind maßgeblich an der Aufbauleistung beteiligt und profitieren entsprechend stark von den Chancen, die sich im Osten bieten.

Overview: This book is the result of some years of research carried out at the Vrije Universiteit of Amsterdam and at the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission. The awareness of actual and potential conflicts between economic progress in production, consumption, and technology and the environment has led to the concept of "sustainable development", implying that economic and ecological values are well balanced in evaluation and decision making. The linkages between ecosystems and economic systems are the focus of ecological economics. In ecological economics, a multidimensional appr

Overview: .This volume presents a complete and self-contained description of new results in the theory of manifolds of nonpositive curvature. It is based on lectures delivered by M. Gromov at the Collège de France in Paris. Among others these lectures threat local and global rigidity problems (e.g., a generalization of the famous Mostow rigidity theorem) and finiteness results for manifolds of finite volume. V. Schroeder wrote up these lectures, including complete and detailed proofs. A lot of background material is added to the first lectures. Therefore this book may also serve as an introduc
