Overview: This book examines the powerful and intensifying role that metrics play in ordering and shaping our everyday lives. Focusing upon the interconnections between measurement, circulation and possibility, the author explores the interwoven relations between power and metrics. He draws upon a wide-range of interdisciplinary resources to place these metrics within their broader historical, political and social contexts. More specifically, he illuminates the various ways that metrics implicate our lives – from our work, to our consumption and our leisure, through to our bodily routines and

Overview: Geleitwort Der Diffusionsverlauf, den das Internet und die mit ihm zusammenhängenden Anwendungen und Dienste in den letzten Jahren genommen hat, sucht in der Geschichte der Ausbreitung von Informations- und Kommunikationstechniken wie wohl in der Geschichte der Technik insgesamt seinesgleichen: Geschwindigkeit und Wirkungsbreite dieser Technik, Durch­ dringung von Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft erscheinen beispiellos Und verändern das Gesicht vieler wirtschaftlicher Tätigkeiten, Funktionen, Prozesse und Branchen. Obwohl wir nach wie vor noch am Beginn der Entwicklung einer nachhaltigen

Overview: Consists of a business model framework, a practical method and numerous cases.The framework has a perspective on service, organization, finance, and technology.Modern economies depend on innovation in services for their future growth. Service innovation increasingly depends on information technology and digitization of information processes. Designing new services is a complex matter, since collaboration with other companies and organizations is necessary. Service innovation is directly related to business models that support these services, i.e. services can only be successful in th

Overview: Optimierungsaufgaben spielen in Wirtschaft und Technik eine immer wichtigere Rolle. Dabei gewinnen Probleme, in denen gewisse Variable nur diskrete Werte annehmen können, zunehmend an Bedeutung. Führen doch Optimierungsaufgaben, in denen Stückzahlen vorkommen oder in denen die Alternative "wahr" oder "falsch" auftritt, in natürlicher Weise auf ganzzahlige Optimierungsprobleme. Historisch gesehen waren es die Transport-und Zuordnungsprobleme, zu deren Lösung die ersten Verfahren entwickelt wurden. Diese Klasse von ganzzahligen linearen Programmen besitzt die wichtige Eigenschaft, daß

Overview: The field of discrete event systems has emerged to provide a formal treatment of many of the man-made systems such as manufacturing systems, communica­ tion networks. automated traffic systems, database management systems, and computer systems that are event-driven, highly complex, and not amenable to the classical treatments based on differential or difference equations. Discrete event systems is a growing field that utilizes many interesting mathematical models and techniques. In this book we focus on a high level treatment of discrete event systems. where the order of events. rath

Overview: Transportation problems belong to the domains mathematical program­ ming and operations research. Transportation models are widely applied in various fields. Numerous concrete problems (for example, assignment and distribution problems, maximum-flow problem, etc. ) are formulated as trans­ portation problems. Some efficient methods have been developed for solving transportation problems of various types. This monograph is devoted to transportation problems with minimax cri­ teria. The classical (linear) transportation problem was posed several decades ago. In this problem, supply and
