Overview: The present book is based on the conference Software Development and Reality Construction held at SchloB Eringerfeld in Germany, September 25 - 30, 1988. This was organized by the Technical University of Berlin (TUB) in cooperation with the German National Research Center for Computer Science (GMD), Sankt Augustin, and sponsored by the Volkswagen Foundation whose financial support we gratefully acknowledge. The conference was an interdisciplinary scientific and cultural event aimed at promoting discussion on the nature of computer science as a scientific discipline and on the theoret

The topics of interest included the following aspects of software engineering and formal methods: program verification, testing, certification, formal specification and proof, testing and model checking, planning, modelling, and model transformation.

Overview: No other comprehensive reference on software-implemented hardware fault tolerance is now available.Serves as a developers guide.Highlights unsolved issues in SIHFT.Includes supplementary material: .Software-Implemented Hardware Fault Tolerance addresses the innovative topic of software-implemented hardware fault tolerance (SIHFT), i.e., how to deal with faults affecting the hardware by only (or mainly) acting on the software...The first SIHFT techniques were proposed and adopted several decades ago, but they have been the object of new interest in the past few years, mainly due to th

Overview: State of the art in Supply Chain Management.Special focus on Reverse LogisticsThe world of logistics has considerably changed in the last years. There has been a steady evolution due to globalization, modern information technology, and es- cially increasing ecological awareness. Many firms have meanwhile implemented large Supply Chain Management (SCM) systems - sometimes already developed to global logistic networks. This book reflects major trends of the recent decade in SCM and, additionally, presents ideas and visions for logistic networks of the 21st century from a strictly scien

Overview: Highlights how ML, data analytics, and interconnected devices help to enhance the quality of healthcare services.Addresses the challenges of healthcare access and delivery in an increasingly connected.The book explores the convergence of healthcare and cutting-edge technology, making it a captivating subject for readers interested in future research. Smart healthcare with machine learning techniques offers a transformative paradigm that utilizes the power of new technology, data analytics, and interconnected devices to enhance the quality, efficiency, and accessibility of healthcare

Overview: Elaborates concepts and fundamentals of session-based recommender systems.Presents the usage of using deep learning techniques in session-based recommender systems from different perspectives.Aims at .This book focuses on the widespread use of deep neural networks and their various techniques in session-based recommender systems (SBRS). It presents the success of using deep learning techniques in many SBRS applications from different perspectives. For this purpose, the concepts and fundamentals of SBRS are fully elaborated, and different deep learning techniques focusing on the devel

Overview: First book to present a detailed theoretical basis for single molecule spectroscopy.It also describes numerous experimental applications of the theory.Includes supplementary material: The main topic in this book is the low temperature selective spectroscopy of impurity centers. It deals not only with the well developed methods of selective spectroscopy of molecular ensembles such as spectral hole-burning, fluorescence line-narrowing and femtosecond photon echoes, but also new methods of nanospectroscopy such as single-molecule spectroscopy. Both the­ ory and experimental data are dis

Overview: Brings together papers from the The Ecclesiological Investigations 2019 Conference in Stuttgart, Germany.Presents findings relating to the historical, canonical, and missiological elements of ecumenic.Throughout their shared history, Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Churches have lived through a very complex and sometimes tense relationship – not only theologically, but also politically. In most cases such relationships remain to this day; indeed, in some cases the tension has increased. In July 2019, scholars of both traditions gathered in Stuttgart, Germany, for an unprecedented confe

Overview: Offers original readings of pessimist philosophies.Provides an introduction to afropessimism, queer and reproductive pessimism, and ecological pessimism.Written for scholars interested in philosophy, This book argues that philosophical pessimism can offer vital impulses for contemporary cultural studies. Pessimist thought offers ways to interrogate notions of temporality, progress and futurity. When the horizon of future expectation is increasingly shaped by the prospect of apocalypse and extinction, an exploration of pessimist thought can help to make sense of an increasingly comple

Overview: Offers clear, straightforward information on the anatomical morphology, surgical procedures and precautions for the surgical process.Illustrated with more than 100 line-drawn figures.Covers 22 procedu.This book provides a comprehensive surgical atlas of functional single ventricle and hypoplastic left heart syndrome, based on theoretical insights and a wealth of clinical practice. It offers anatomical morphology and descriptive texts, while also highlighting key aspects of each procedure...The book is divided into three major parts, the first two of which illustrate the procedures fo

Overview: Provides a much-needed comprehensive view of synergy management.Unravels the black box of synergy value in M&As.Provides new models and tools for synergy management.This book addresses synergy management, which poses an important challenge for firms, advisors and practitioners involved in mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Synergy plays a key role in M&A contexts, both in the decision-making process and, subsequently, in the integration phase. However, despite the fact that synergy value is commonly regarded as one of the key success factors in M&A, research shows that firms generally f

Overview: Systematische und evidenzbasierte Empfehlungen für Diagnostik und Therapie.Von beteiligten Fachgesellschaften gemeinsam erarbeitet.Wichtige ergänzende Kapitel zu Komorbiditäten und Kindern abhängiger .Für das klassische Suchthilfesystem sind medikamentenbezogene Störungen eine Herausforderung, da das System in Deutschland nicht spezifisch für diese Patientengruppe ausgelegt ist. Auch ist immer zu bedenken, dass die entsprechenden Arzneimittel ursprünglich für eine medizinische Symptomatik und Indikation verordnet und von den Patient*innen benötigt wurden. Daher ist ein anderer Umgang

Overview: Provides state-of-the-art research on new software engineering life-cycle for safety-critical, embedded software.Includes theory, methodologies, and examples of "correct by construction" software engiEmbedded software is ubiquitous today. There are millions of lines of embedded code in smart phones, and even more in systems responsible for automotive control, avionics control, weapons control and space missions. Some of these are safety-critical systems whose correctness, timely response, and reliability are of paramount importance. These requirement pose new challenges to system des

Overview: Forest inventory may be defined as the technique of collecting, evaluating and presenting specified information on forest areas. Because of the generally la~ge extent of forest areas, data are usually collected by sampling, i.e. by making observations on only part of the area of interest. As there are many different sampling methods (e.g. Appendix 1), a choice must first be made as to which method suits the given field and financial circumstances best. On completion of the sampling procedure, the numerous data collected have next to be condensed to manageable representative quantitie
