Overview: Der vorliegende Band präsentiert Beiträge eines Workshops zu Forschung und Anwendung auf dem Gebiet der Software-Messung und -Bewertung, der im September 2001 an der Universität Kaiserslautern stattfand. Im Vordergrund stehen die Anwendung von Software-Metriken in der Praxis sowie die Untersuchung neuer Software-Systeme hinsichtlich ihrer qualitativen und quantitativen Eigenschaften. Dabei werden insbesondere Verfahren zur Kosten- und Aufwandsschätzung, z.B. die Full-Function-Point-Methode, betrachtet und ihre Anwendungen für eingebettete Systeme analysiert. Einen Schwerpunkt bildet

Overview: Ties together ideas from universal algebra, topology, and category theory.About half of the theorems provided by the author in the book are new.Open problems and research areas are outlined for the re.Sheaves of Algebras over Boolean Spaces. comprehensively covers sheaf theory as applied to universal algebra. The text presents intuitive ideas from topology such as the notion of metric space and the concept of central idempotent from ring theory. These lead to the abstract notions of complex and factor element, respectively. Factor elements are defined by identities, discovered for sh

Overview: The theme ofthe conference at which the papers in this book were presented was‘Systems Thinking in Europe‘. Members of the United Kingdom Systems Society (UKSS) were conscious that the systems movementflourishes notonly in the UK, America and the Antipodes, but also in continental Europe, both East and West, and in the USSR, a nation increasingly being welcomed by the European comity. Membership of the UKSS had not perhaps had the opportunity, however, of hearing important new ideas from continental Europe, and this conference provided an opportunity to do so. Some interesting papers

Overview: "When you are doing something that is a brand new adventure, breaking new ground, whether it is something like a techno­ logical breakthrough or simply a way of living that is not what the community can help you with, there is always the danger of too much enthusiasm, of neglecting certain mechan­ ical details. Then you fall off. ‘A danger path this is. ‘ When you follow the path of your desire and enthusiasm and emotion, keep your mind in control, and don‘t let it pull you compulsively into disaster. " Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth Through ten years of working with and observin

Overview: Die empirische Arbeit widmet sich Hochschulen in privater Trägerschaft aus Sicht ihrer Studierenden. Aufgrund spezifischer Standortlogiken können private Hochschulen in ihren dualen, berufsbegleitenden oder -integrierten Studienformaten lokale bzw. regionale Arbeitsmarkt- und Wirtschaftsstrukturen berücksichtigen oder eine Orientierung an der vorhandenen Fachkräftenachfrage vornehmen. Im Forschungsprozess kommen aus diesem Grund raumsoziologische Zugänge von Martina Löw und Georg Simmel zur Anwendung. Mit diesen werden studentische Nutzungen, Aneignungen und Wahrnehmungen als sozial

Overview: Complete theory of the Maslov index and its variants.Discussion of the metaplectic group and the Conley-Zehnder index.Rigorous mathematical treatment of the Schrödinger equation in phase space.IncludeIntroduction We have been experiencing since the 1970s a process of “symplectization” of S- ence especially since it has been realized that symplectic geometry is the natural language of both classical mechanics in its Hamiltonian formulation, and of its re?nement,quantum mechanics. The purposeof this bookis to providecorema- rial in the symplectic treatment of quantum mechanics, in both

Overview: The 1939-45 war forced the Allied countries to seek alternative sources of raw materials and, as in the First World War, attention was paid by all belligerents to the marine algae or seaweeds. These occur in considerable quantities in various parts of the world, and attempts to make use of this cheap and readily accessible, though not so readily harvestable, raw material have been made almost from time immemorial. Much of the work on the economic utilization of seaweeds has been published only in scientific journals and has never been collected within the compass of a single book. Tr
