Statistics has been a main tool in almost every field of activity and an essential part of applied scientific work, supporting conclusions and offering insights into new uses for established methodologies, thus making it a valuable resource in looking for faceless facts. Model construction describing populations or phenomena subject to...

This volume includes 27 research contributions, selected out of 90. The contributions cover a...

​This book undertakes to marry the concepts of "Concept Mapping" with a "Design Thinking" approach in the context of business analysis. While in the past a lot of attention has been paid to the business process side, this book now focusses information quality and valuation, master data and hierarchy management,...

Welche Wege nimmt das Gepäck, wenn es vom Passagier am Check-In-Schalter auf das Band gelegt und am Ankunftsflughafen wieder vom Passagier in Empfang genommen wird? Welche Technologien und Konzepte könnten in den nächsten Jahren an den Flughäfen international anzutreffen sein, welche werden sich durchgesetzt haben. Wie...

This book presents the application of microwave literature for designing lumped/semi-lumped filters and combline/iris-coupled microwave cavity filters. It provides the physical understanding of the terms and characteristics of radio frequency (RF) filters. The book complements engineering text books on RF components and provides support for...

Based on the lecture notes of a school titled ‘Tides in Astronomy and Astrophysics’ that brought together students and researchers, this book focuses on the fundamental theories of tides at different scales of the universe—from tiny satellites to whole galaxies—and on the most recent developments. It also attempts to...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 20th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms, ESA 2012, held in Ljubljana, Slovenia, in September 2012 in the context of the combined conference ALGO 2012. The 69 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 285 initial submissions: 56 out of 231 in track design...

Over the past few decades the powerful methods of statistical physics and Euclidean quantum field theory have moved closer together, with common tools based on the use of path integrals. The interpretation of Euclidean field theories as particular systems of statistical physics has opened up new avenues for understanding strongly coupled...

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 19th International Symposium on Static Analysis, SAS 2012, held in Deauville, France, in September 2012. The 25 revised full papers presented together with 4 invited talks were selected from 62 submissions. The papers address all aspects of static analysis, including abstract...
