This book explores the many facets of building and operating an SAP infrastructure exploiting Cloud technologies, describing and discussing the latest challenges and suitable solutions, and outlining future trends. Includes practice-oriented case studies.

Written in an accessible style without sacrificing depth of analysis, this book examines central issues in the public debate on environmental problems and policy, from the perspective of economics. Provides a concise introduction to micro- and macroeconomics.

This book describes, predicts and explains information as a general phenomenon, probing the nature and output of processes without requiring prior math or computer background. Applies basic processes to a range of disciplines related to information science.

Part one of this book offers comprehensive advice on methods and techniques for experiment design, modeling and optimization. The second part presents practical applications, focused mainly in the field of thermodynamics and fluid dymanics.

This book surveys fuzzy rational foundations of the structure of exact and inexact sciences over epistemological space, drawing the conclusion that conditions of the fuzzy paradigm present a methodological unity where every zone of thought has fuzzy covering.

This inaugural volume on a topic of increasing importance collates research on databases, statistics, information retrieval, data mining and machine learning to provide a detailed discussion of the practical aspects and limitations of data matching.

This book offers a meta-theory of knowledge-production process and the logical pathway that connects epistemic possibility to epistemic reality. Covers paradigms for information processing and isolates classical and fuzzy paradigms for comparative analysis.

Explaining complex topics and models in simple terms requiring no specialist training, this lavishly illustrated volume shows what makes cellular automata, unconventional computing, gliders, solitons, and non-linear dynamics such hot contemporary topics.

Linking the differing techniques deployed in describing space-filling curves to their corresponding algorithms, this book introduces SFCs as tools in scientific computing, focusing in particular on the representation of SFCs and on the resulting algorithms.

This invaluable diagnostic aid has a wealth of in-vivo images at high magnification that capture the features of KCS, or dry-eye syndrome, as well as filamentary keratopathy, a rarely seen associative pathology. The images depict a wide range of presentations.

This book presents models for users' experiences with interactive systems. It examines how to incorporate aesthetic, emotional, and social aspects of a product while designing interactive systems.

This book provides a solution to the call admission control (CAC) problem, considering dynamic channel assignments (DCA) as an integral part of decision-making for call admission. It employs evolutionary techniques to solve the optimization problems.

This lively book explains many of the key concepts in the field, starting with the Golden Number and taking the reader on a geometrical journey via Shapes and Solids, through the Fourth Dimension, finishing up with Einstein's Theories of Relativity.

This book focuses on analyzing theoretically the energy level alignment of different metal/organic interfaces. It presents a combination of a standard DFT calculation with the inclusion of the charging energy (U) of the molecule.

This book examines controversial questions in laser filamentation, a highly complex phenomenon involving nonlinear optical effects and plasma physics. It presents a powerful new approach to estimating the influence of higher-order nonlinear optical effects.

This book develops data analysis techniques which enable testing of aspects of the Standard Model of particle physics with unprecedented precision, using data from the DZero experiment at the high energy Tevatron proton-antiproton collider at Fermilab, Chicago.

Presenting a cutting-edge workflow language explicitly expressing parallelism and data distribution for generic workflow applications, this book includes sophisticated algorithms for automatically creating and optimizing workflows using semantic technologies.

Responding to the need for flexible process-aware information systems, a range of technologies have emerged. This volume deploys real-world case studies from a range of application domains to explore the challenges to, and solutions for, adaptive PAIS.

Developed for its direct applicability to industrial practice, the CoBRA method of cost estimation, benchmarking and risk analysis in software design is a proven antidote to cost overruns and project delays, with several successful case studies included here.

Here is a comprehensive profile of Vito Volterra, a pioneer of functional analysis and author of fundamental research in integral equations, elasticity theory and population dynamics. His stand against facism was unpopular, but his work remains undiminished.

The complexes that they form are therefore cyclic inclusion complexes. Because the complexes are cyclic in nature, complexation can be very strong, as op posed to 1t-complex, electrostatic, or apolar complexes in which complex formation is two-dimensional rather than three-dimensional.

Since the early seventies concepts of specification have become central in the whole area of computer science. The fundamentals of algebraic specification lay a basis for teaching, research, and development in all those fields of computer science where algebraic techniques are the subject or are used with advantage on a conceptual level.

In this book I shall discuss the import and implications of a particular type of integration, namely financial integration, and then look at the most important problems connected with measuring it.

The study of the biological effects of foreign chemicals (whether therapeutic drugs or chemicals present at work or in the environment) interests the biologist from a number of different and complementary viewpoints.

The revolutionary impetus of the NMR methods in organic chemistry has parallels in the field of boron chemistry. Several years ago Eaton and Lipscomb sUpImarized the status in this field in their book "NMR Studies of Boron Hydrides and Related Compounds" and a plethora of new data has accumulated since then.

With contributions by numerous experts

The attempt to simulate dialogues in Natural Language by a machine requires extensive analyses of Natural Language's expression and content phenomena. Sometimes fully self-explanatory or content-related expression units within carrier systems of isolated morphologies guarantee significant insights into phenomena of Natural Language's content.

It succinctly treats structural, electrical and optical properties of nitrides and the substrates on which they are deposited, band structures of nitrides, optical processes, deposition and fabrication technologies, light-emitting diodes, and lasers.
