Overview: Covers a wide range of jurisdictions and areas of activity.Provides useful lessons for law-making states of any size.Gives theoretical and practical insights into the processes and outcomes of law-mak.This book puts the spotlight on a different and neglected aspect of law drafting and reform: the question of size. Specifically, how does the size of a jurisdiction affect its ability to make and change its laws?..Some of the challenges affecting small jurisdictions include: a lack of resources and paucity of policy/drafting capacity; the pressures and pull from sources outside the juri

Overview: Presents an up-to-date review of modeling and optimization approaches for location problems.Includes concepts of non cooperative game theory in a firm‘s decision making process.Features insights on mo.This book presents an up-to-date review of modeling and optimization approaches for location problems along with a new bi-level programming methodology which captures the effect of competition of both producers and customers on facility location decisions.

Overview: Examines how emergency management organisations learn from past events.Uses empirical evidence from Australian bushfire public review processes.Serves as a roadmap for practitioners to facilitate the .This book examines the ways in which emergency management organizations make sense and learn from natural disasters. Examining recent bushfires in Australia, it demonstrates that whilst public inquiries that follow such disasters can be important for learning and change, they have ultimately created a learning vacuum insofar as their recommendations repeat themselves. This has kept gove

Overview: .One of the main goals of optimal control theory is to provide a theoretical basis for choosing an appropriate controller for whatever system is under consideration by the researcher or engineer. Two popular norms that have proved useful are known as H-2 and H - infinity control. The first has been particularly applicable to problems arising in the aerospace industry. However, most industrial problems are badly modeled and the second norm proved to be more appropriate when the actual conditions of the problem did not conform to the stipulated conditions of the theory. This book takes

Overview: The 1980s and 1990s have seen a growing interest in research and practice in the use of methodologies within problem contexts characterised by a primary focus on technology, human issues, or power. During the last five to ten years, this has given rise to challenges regarding the ability of a single methodology to address all such contexts, and the consequent development of approaches which aim to mix methodologies within a single problem situation. This has been particularly so where the situation has called for a mix of technological (the so-called ‘hard‘) and human­ centred (so-ca

Overview: Wie Kreditinstitute Geschäftspotenziale realisieren und wettbewerbsfähig bleibenKreditinstitute zahlen für Refinanzierungsmittel am Geld- und Kapitalmarkt in Abhängigkeit von ihrem Rating und der Laufzeit der aufgenommenen Gelder bonitätsabhängige Zinsaufschläge, die auch als Credit Spreads bezeichnet werden. Allerdings sind solche Spreads über die Zeit nicht konstant, sondern können, wie gerade die in der jüngsten Finanzkrise äußerst angespannte Refinanzierungssituation der Banken verdeutlich hat, je nach Liquiditätsverfassung und den Einschätzungen der Marktteilnehmer erheblich sch

Overview: Erstes interdisziplinäres Buch zur Maschinenethik.Erläutert die normativen Aspekte der Mediatisierungstheorie.Aktuelle Diskussion um autonome Systeme (z.B. autonom fahrende Autos)Der Band untersucht die besonderen ethischen Probleme, die die Entwicklung autonom „handelnder“ und „kommunizierender“ medialer Systeme aufwirft. Da sie Prozesse nicht nur eigenständig vollziehen, sondern zugleich steuern, stellt sich die Frage, inwieweit sie in diesem „Handeln“ und „Entscheiden“ normativ orientiert werden können. Über frühere Entwicklungen hinaus entsteht zudem eine computergesteuerte digit
