This book is devoted to the state-of-the-art in all aspects of fireworks algorithm (FWA), with particular emphasis on the efficient improved versions of FWA.

This book offers a legal and engineering perspective on atolls, challenging misconceptions about their vulnerability to sea-level rise. The authors assert that bilateral negotiations or the possibility of acquiring small new territories should be explored.

This book introduces a new benchmark for hybrid database systems, gauging the effect of adding OLAP to an OLTP workload and analyzing the impact of commonly used optimizations in historically separate OLTP and OLAP domains in mixed-workload scenarios.

This book presents a comprehensive and systematic strategy for the design and preparation of novel artificial responsive symmetric/asymmetric single nanochannel systems under various symmetric/asymmetric stimuli.

In this book the authors describe their original research on the potential of both standard and high-resolution electroencephalography (EEG) for analyzing brain activity in response to TV advertising.

This book presents a data integration system that links remote databases in a networked environment, supports heterogeneous databases and data formats, links databases hosted on multiple platforms, and allows database owners to chose how to share their data.

This book presents recent results in the development of analog filters in nanometer CMOS. It describes methods for successfully dealing with nanometer devices and includes numerous detailed circuit diagrams and plots of measured results.

This book explores multidimensional particle swarm optimization, a technique developed by the authors and presented in a well-defined algorithmic approach. All featured applications are supported with fully documented source code as well as sample datasets.

Every enterprise architect faces similar problems when designing and governing the enterprise architecture of a medium to large enterprise.

European leaders face formidable challenges in making the single currency work. This book highlights the importance and effectiveness of structural reforms that have to accompany fiscal consolidation and discusses the appropriate tools of crisis management.

This book analyses intention recognition, an important ability that helps agents predict others' behavior, in its artificial intelligence and evolutionary computational modeling aspects. It also proposes a novel intention recognition method.

This book describes the development of the thermodynamic theory of specific intermolecular interactions. It details interactions to a wide spectrum of nitrogenated and bioorganic compounds: amino alcohols, amino acids, peptides and urea derivatives.

This book focuses on the development, maintenance, and implementation of product-line variability. It features a broad classification of tools and techniques for all stages of the development process and a detailed discussion of tradeoffs.

This book offers a detailed description and lab analysis of three different A/D converter solutions used in high volume low-power and low-voltage CMOS products, with a focus on robustness for low-power and small chip area design.

Synchronization, consensus and flocking are ubiquitous requirements in networked systems. This book investigates these requirements by using the pinning control strategy for the synchronization of complex dynamical networks.

This book surveys methods used at the Antiproton Decelerator at CERN to identify and extrapolate charged particle tracks and estimate the originating annihilation location, in its successful effort to achieve stable, long-term storage of atomic antimatter.

This book offers a stable definition of sustainability, which is able to serve as an anchor for further research. It compares new and demanding requisites with existing models (process and network architectures in the field of logistics).

This book offers a new perspective in the study of Comparative Literature and attempts to break through the linguistic barrier that keeps most comparatists in China enclosed within their own cultural domain.

This book introduces the fundamentals of piezotronics and piezo-phototronics, and shows how the functionality of piezotroics and piezo-phototronics are complementary to CMOS technology. Describes applications in sensing, nanorobotics and many other areas.

Written by the top expert in the field and engaging with all the key issues in PB, both theoretical and experimental, this publication will inform the future direction of research by bringing a level of coherence to the topic unequalled in previous treatments.

This book covers the theoretical and practical basics of giant magnetoresistance (GMR) sensors, which were initially used in hard disk drives, and which are now finding broader applications in space, automotive design, microelectronics and biotechnology.

This book describes theoretical aspects of metallic magnetism from metals to disordered alloys to amorphous alloys both at the ground state and at finite temperatures. Explores the topic via spin-fluctuation theories based on the functional integral method.

This book presents novel learning techniques that enable mobile platforms with one or more robotic manipulators to autonomously adapt to new or changing situations.
