Overview: Includes supplementary material: .This brief introduces overlapping coalition formation games (OCF games), a novel mathematical framework from cooperative game theory that can be used to model, design and analyze cooperative scenarios in future wireless communication networks. ..The concepts of OCF games are explained, and several algorithmic aspects are studied.? In addition, several major application scenarios are discussed. These applications are drawn from a variety of fields that include radio resource allocation in dense wireless networks, cooperative spectrum sensing for cogni

Overview: Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anf?ngen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen für die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfügung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden müssen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.978-3-642-98455-6978-3-642-99269-8

Overview: Develops the theory of initial-, boundary-, and eigenvalue problems, real and complex linear systems, asymptotic behavior and stability. Using novel approaches to many subjects, the book emphasizes differential inequalities and treats more advanced topics such as Caratheodory theory, nonlinear boundary value problems and radially symmetric elliptic problems. New proofs are given which use concepts and methods from functional analysis. Applications from mechanics, physics, and biology are included, and exercises, which range from routine to demanding, are dispersed throughout the text

Overview: Many of us have implemented oral communication instruction in our design courses, lab courses, and other courses where students give presentations. Others have students give presentations without instruction on how to become a better presenter. Many of us, then, could use a concise book that guides us on what instruction on oral communication should include, based on input from executives from different settings. This instruction will help our students get jobs and make them more likely to move up the career ladder, especially in these hard economic times. Oral Communication Excellen

The plenary speakers Morris

Overview: First textbook to address the issue of ophthalmology in an ageing society.Covers aspects that pose an increasing challenge for treating physicians and for society in general.Written by world leaders i.The ageing of the world’s population is one of the major achievements of modern society. By 2050, an estimated 2 billion people will be aged 60 years or over. However, ageing poses major challenges and this is especially true for the field of ophthalmology, given that the major eye diseases – age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, and cataract – predominantly affect the elderly.?Th

Overview: This book contains the proceedings of the Workshop on OpenMP Applications and Tools, WOMPAT 2003. WOMPAT 2003 was held on June 26and 27, 2003 in Toronto, Canada. The workshop brought together the users and developers of the OpenMP API to meet, share ideas and experiences, and to discuss the latest developments in OpenMP and its applications. The OpenMP API is now a widely accepted standard for high-level shar- memory parallel programming. Since its introduction in 1997, OpenMP has gained support from the majority of high-performance compiler and hardware vendors. WOMPAT 2003 was the

Overview: Reihenfolgeprobleme stehen im Fachgebiet des Operations Research seit einiger Zeit im Mittelpunkt des Interesses. Nachdem bis vor wenigen Jahren für viele Reihenfolgeprobleme noch keine brauchbaren L?sungs- verfahren bekannt waren, wurden seit etwa 1960 verschiedene Verfahren entwickelt, die kleine und mittelgro?e Probleme mit wirtschaftlich ver- tretbarem Aufwand exakt und gr??ere Probleme mit hinreichender Genauigkeit zu l?sen gestatteten. In der vorliegenden Arbeit sollen diese Verfahren diskutiert und vor allem über die mit ihnen an zahlreichen Beispielen gewonnenen Erfahrungen b
