Overview: Computing in context has become a necessity in modern and intelligent IT - plications. With the use of mobile devices and current research on ubiquitous computing, context-awareness has become a major issue. However, context and context-awareness are crucial not only for mobile and ubiquitous computing. They are also vital for spanning various application areas, such as collaborative softwareand Web engineering,personaldigital assistantsand peer-to-peer inf- mation sharing, health care work?ow and patient control, and adaptive games and e-learning solutions. In these areas, context s

Overview: Vor allem aus ?konomischen und ?kologischen Gründen spielen Produktkreisl?ufe mittlerweile in verschiedenen Branchen eine zentrale Rolle. Allerdings bestehen hinsichtlich des Erfolgs dieser Closed-loop Supply Chains erhebliche Unterschiede. So gibt es neben technisch-logistischen Fragen, die in der wissenschaftlichen Diskussion bisher dominieren, auch im Handeln der einzelnen Akteure bedingte Probleme. ..Romy Morana entwickelt einen Untersuchungsrahmen, der es erm?glicht, unterschiedliche organisierte Produktkreisl?ufe zu analysieren und miteinander zu vergleichen. Er besteht aus den

Overview: Among the first English language works on the Spanish philosopher, María Zambrano..Proposes that exile is not just as a theme or context for writing, but a fundamental aspect of Zambrano’s thought..Si.This book analyzes the exile ontology of Spanish philosopher María Zambrano (1904-1991). Karolina Enquist K?llgren connects Zambrano’s lived exile and political engagement with the Spanish Civil War to her poetic reason, and argues that Zambrano developed a theory of expressive subjectivity that combined embodiment with the expressive creativity of the human mind. The analysis of recurr

Overview: Contains scientific and technological achievements of medicinal and aromatic plants in India.Provides valuable insight into Indian traditional medicine.Written by experts in the field.This book is the 9th volume in the series Medicinal and Aromatic Plants of the World. India being one of the countries with the longest and richest past/present/future of Medicinal and Aromatic Plant (MAP) production and utilization has accumulated more than sufficient knowledge to fill two volumes.? This is shown by the vivid interest of Indian colleagues to contribute.? Similar to the previous volumes

Overview: Motion-based recognition deals with the recognition of anobject and/or its motion, based on motion in a series of images. Inthis approach, a sequence containing a large number of frames is usedto extract motion information. The advantage is that a longer sequenceleads to recognition of higher level motions, like walking or running,which consist of a complex and coordinated series of events. Unlikemuch previous research in motion, this approach does not requireexplicit reconstruction of shape from the images prior to recognition..This book provides the state-of-the-art in this rapidly

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Little more than three years down the line and I am already writing the Preface to a second volume to follow Protein and Peptide Analysis by Mass . What has happened in between these times to make this second venture worthwhile? New types of mass spectrometric instrumentation have appeared so that new techniques have become possible and existing techniques have become much more feasible. More particularly, however, the newer ionization te- niques, introduced for the analysis of high molecular weight materials, have now been thoroughly used and studied

Overview: Significantly expanded with two new chapters covering Henry Stapp‘s most recent work.Includes supplementary material: ."Scientists other than quantum physicists often fail to comprehend the enormity of the conceptual change wrought by quantum theory in our basic conception of the nature of matter," writes Henry Stapp. Stapp is a leading quantum physicist who has given particularly careful thought to the implications of the theory that lies at the heart of modern physics. In this?book, which contains several of his key papers as well as new material,?he focuses on the problem of consc

Overview: First academic book to examine important relationship with man‘s best friend.Highlights empirical basis for how bond enhances men‘s psychological state.A contextual research approach pairing masculini.The healing power of the bond between men and dogs is explored in this unique book. Three important themes emerge: attachment, loss, and continued bonds with canine companions for males across the life span and from various contextual backgrounds.

Overview: With the proliferation of consumer devices, computation is becoming truly ubiq- tous. Multi-agent systems hold the promise to enable utilization of these compu- tional resources for ground-breaking new applications. However, as the number of agents involved in multi-agent computations rises, traditional approaches of bui- ing multi-agent systems fail to scale. Massively multi-agent systems address this challenge of scale. Massive, in this context, is meant to capture the complexity of such systems, which precludes decision making to focus on individual agents. Agents making decisions

Overview: Historically, one of the basic issues in control systems design has been robustness: the ability of a controlled plant to withstand variations in or lack of knowledge of its dynamics. Even if the dynamics of a system are accurately known for purposes of implementation, it is often desirable to design a control system based on a simplified model. Consequently it is essential to be able to guarantee a reasonable performance not only for the nominal plant, but also for its neighbouring perturbations: this is the issue of robustness. Since the beginning of this decade major advances have
