Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'William C. Spears presents a compelling case for Stoicism as the moral framework warriors need. I saw this firsthand during my service in the Marine Corps, at the CIA, and later as a senior official at the Pentagon. The core principles of Stoicism--discipline, resilience, knowing what matters--apply just as much on the battlefield as they do in the Situation Room at the White House. This is not just theory--it's a philosophy tested under pressure, and meant for those whose decisions have consequences measured in lives.' - Michael 'Mick' Mulroy, former U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for the Middle East and senior fellow at Harvard's Belfer Center'If Stoicism seriously attracts your attention, you need a North Star. In the life of work William Spears has invested in this text, you have a resource that provides authentic, thorough guidance. He writes it in a wonderful manner that allows you to choose your own challenges, but with the tools included to have a 'best chance' of finding both methodology and reward. And when you master an aspect of Stoicism, it allows you to 'bite off' another piece of its life-sustaining wisdom and approach any challenge with confidence.Foreword by James B. Stockdale II - Can ancient philosophers really provide useful insights for the modern warfighter - How might they reconcile cosmopolitan principles with patriotic duty - Would a truly enlightened individual participate in the horrors of war Stoicism as a Warrior Philosophy grapples with these questions and more. Authored by a serving military professional, it breaks down the most advanced concepts of Stoicism into plain language without oversimplifying. Exhaustively researched, steeped in original sources, and informed by examples from the cutting edge of modern conflict, it builds upon ancient thinking to develop innovative theories of patriotic duty and ethical warfighting. While Stoicism has seen an explosion in popular interest, and is widely embraced in military culture, no serious philosophical work has yet explored its full implications within the military profession. This book answers that call. Endorsed by senior military officials and academic philosophers, Stoicism as a Warrior Philosophy provides compelling and original contributions to both military ethics and the literature of modern Stoicism.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Swarm robotics can be defined as the study of how a swarm of relatively simple physically embodied agents can be constructed to collectively accomplish tasks that are beyond the capabilities of a single one. Unlike other studies on multi-robot systems, swarm robotics emphasizes self-organization and emergence, while keeping in mind the issues of scalability and robustness. These emphases promote the use of relatively simple robots, equipped with localized sensing ability, scalable communication mechanisms, and the exploration of decentralized control strategies.This state-of-the-art survey is the first book devoted to swarm robotics. It is based on the First International Workshop on Swarm Robotics held in Santa Monica, CA, USA in July 2004 as part of SAB 2004 192 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Swarm robotics is the study of how large numbers of relatively simple physically embodied agentscanbe designedsuchthat a desiredcollectivebehavioremerges from the local interactions among agents and between the agents and the en- ronment. Swarm robotics has emerged as a novel approach to the coordination of large numbers of robots and is inspired from observation of social insects - ants, termites, wasps and bees - which stand as fascinating examples of how a large number of simple individuals can interact to create collectively intelligent systems. Socialinsects areknownto coordinatetheir actionsto accomplishtasks that are far beyond the capabilities of a single individual: termites build large and complex mounds, army ants organize impressive foraging raids, ants can collectively carry large prey. Such coordination capabilities are still well beyond the reach of current multi-robot systems. Researchon swarmroboticshasseen a signi cantincreasein the last 5 years. A number of successful swarm robotic systems have now been demonstrated in the laboratory and the study of the design, modelling, implementation and analysis of swarm robotic systems has become a hot topic of research. This workshop was organized within SAB 2006, as a sequel to the successful rst swarmroboticsworkshopin2004,withtheaimofreviewingandupdatingrecent advances on the topic. We received 21 full papers (20 research + 1 review) and accepted 14 (13 research + 1 review). Overall, we, as organizers, were pleased with the number of submissions, and a number of our reviewers explicitly commented on the generally high quality of the papers.
