The Agent Modeling Language - AML: A Comprehensive Approach to Modeling Multi-Agent Systems

Birkhauser, 2007

Multi-agent systems are already a focus of studies for more than 25 years. Despite substantial effort of an active research community, modeling of multi-agent systems still lacks complete and proper definition, general acceptance, and practical application. Due to the vast potential of these systems e.g. to improve the practice in software and to...

Space Time Play: Computer Games, Architecture and Urbanism: the Next Level

Birkhauser, 2007

Computer and video games are leaving the PC and conquering the arena of everyday life in the form of mobile applications (such as GPS cell phones, etc.) â the result is new types of cities and architecture. How do these games alter our perception of real and virtual space? What can the designers of physical and digital worlds learn from one...

Emerging Web Services Technology (Whitestein Series in Software Agent Technologies and Autonomic Computing)

Birkhauser, 2007

This book contains initial results of innovative and sometimes controversial emerging Web services research ideas. It covers a wide spectrum of active research areas like Model Driven Engineering for SOA, Mobility and Services, Dynamic Web Service Discovery and Composition, Service Management, and Semantic Web, just to name a few.

As Web...

Issues in Multi-Agent Systems: The AgentCities.ES Experience (Whitestein Series in Software Agent Technologies and Autonomic Computing)

Birkhauser, 2007

The agent paradigm has been a subject of research for the last years, and the purpose of this book is to present current status of this technology by looking at its application in different domains, such as electronic markets, e-tourism, ambience intelligence, and complex system analysis.

It starts by discussing software engineering...

Group-based Cryptography (Advanced Courses in Mathematics - CRM Barcelona)

Birkhauser, 2008

This book is about relations between three different areas of mathematics and theoretical computer science: combinatorial group theory, cryptography, and complexity theory. It is explored how non-commutative (infinite) groups, which are typically studied in combinatorial group theory, can be used in public key cryptography. It is also shown...

Emerging Web Services Technology, Volume II (Whitestein Series in Software Agent Technologies and Autonomic Computing)

Birkhauser, 2008

This 2nd volume on Emerging Web Services Technologies continues to follow the current research activities in the areas of Web Services and Service Oriented Architectures. By collecting the proceedings of the second Workshop of Emerging Web Services Technology 2007 it contains many examples of promising research activities...

Economic Models and Algorithms for Distributed Systems (Autonomic Systems)

Birkhauser, 2009

Distributed computing paradigms for sharing resources such as Clouds, Grids, Peer-to-Peer systems, or voluntary computing are becoming increasingly popular. While there are some success stories such as PlanetLab, OneLab, BOINC, BitTorrent, and SETI@home, a widespread use of these technologies for business applications has not yet been...

The Physical Tourist: A Science Guide for the Traveler

Birkhauser, 2008

Typical travel guides have sections on architecture, art, literature, music and cinema. Rarely are any science-related sites identified. For example, a current travel guide for Germany contains one tidbit on science: Einstein is identified as the most famous citizen of Ulm. By contrast, this travel guide walks a tourist through Berlin and...

Families of Conformally Covariant Differential Operators, Q-Curvature and Holography (Progress in Mathematics)

Birkhauser, 2009

The central object of the book is Q-curvature. This important and subtle scalar Riemannian curvature quantity was introduced by Tom Branson about 15 year ago in connection with variational formulas for determinants of conformally covariant differential operators. The book studies structural properties of Q-curvature from an extrinsic point of view...

Spacetime, Geometry and Gravitation (Progress in Mathematical Physics)

Birkhauser, 2009

Teaching Einstein’s general relativity at introductory level poses problems because students cannot begin to appreciate the basics of the theory unless they learn a sufficient amount of Riemannian geometry. Most elementary books take the easy course of telling the students a few working rules stripping the mathematical details to a minimum...

Theory and Practice of Uncertain Programming

Physica-Verlag, 2003

Real-life decisions are usually made in the state of uncertainty (randomness, fuzziness, roughness, etc.). How do we model optimization problems in uncertain environments? How do we solve these models? In order to answer these questions, this book provides a self-contained, comprehensive and up-to-date presentation of uncertain programming theory....

Knowledge Integration: The Practice of Knowledge Management in Small and Medium Enterprises

Physica-Verlag, 2005

The ability to manage knowledge is relevant for millions of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) that operate in high-tech environments. They strongly depend on external knowledge about customers, technologies, and competitors because, as opposed to large companies, they have limited internal knowledge resources and little power to control...
