Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Award-winning monograph of the Ferran Sunyer i Balaguer Prize 2002.The subject of this book is the study of automorphic distributions, by which is meant distributions on R2 invariant under the linear action of SL(2,Z), and of the operators associated with such distributions under the Weyl rule of symbolic calculus.Researchers and postgraduates interested in pseudodifferential analyis, the theory of non-holomorphic modular forms, and symbolic calculi will benefit from the clear exposition and new results and insights.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 260 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Communication networks are very complex and interdependent systems requiring complicated management and control operations under strict resource and time constraints. A finite number of network components with limited capacities need to be shared for dynamically allocating a high number of traffic demands. Moreover, coordination of peer provider is required whenever these demands span domains controlled by distinct operators. In this context, traditional human-driven management is becoming increasingly inadequate to cope with the growing heterogeneity of actors, services and technologies populating the current deregulated market.This book proposes a novel approach to improve multi-provider interactions based on the coordination of autonomous and self-motivated software entities acting on behalf of distinct operators. Coordination is achieved by means of distributed constraint satisfaction techniques integrated within economic mechanisms, which enable automated negotiations to take place. This allows software agents to find efficient allocations of service demands spanning several networks without having to reveal strategic or confidential data. In addition, a novel way of addressing resource allocation and pricing in a compact framework is made possible by the use of powerful resource abstraction techniques.The book is addressed to researchers in the area of agent technology, automated negotiation, distributed constraint satisfaction, and networking, in particular for what concerns resource allocation and pricing. Furthermore, it should be a valuable resource for both network and service providersSpringer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 296 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Because of the correspondences existing among all levels of reality, truths pertaining to a lower level can be considered as symbols of truths at a higher level and can therefore be the 'foundation' or support leading by analogy to a knowledge of the latter. This confers to every science a superior or 'elevating' meaning, far deeper than its own original one. - R. GUENON, The Crisis of Modern World Having been interested in the Kepler Problem for a long time, I have al ways found it astonishing that no book has been written yet that would address all aspects of the problem. Besides hundreds of articles, at least three books (to my knowledge) have indeed been published al ready on the subject, namely Englefield (1972), Stiefel & Scheifele (1971) and Guillemin & Sternberg (1990). Each of these three books deals only with one or another aspect of the problem, though. For example, En glefield (1972) treats only the quantum aspects, and that in a local way. Similarly, Stiefel & Scheifele (1971) only considers the linearization of the equations of motion with application to the perturbations of celes tial mechanics. Finally, Guillemin & Sternberg (1990) is devoted to the group theoretical and geometrical structure.Springer Nature c/o IBS, Benzstrasse 21, 48619 Heek 464 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book contains the proceedings of the conference 'Fractals in Graz 2001 - Analysis, Dynamics, Geometry, Stochastics' that was held in the second week of June 2001 at Graz University of Technology, in the capital of Styria, southeastern province of Austria. The scientific committee of the meeting consisted of M. Barlow (Vancouver), R. Strichartz (Ithaca), P. Grabner and W. Woess (both Graz), the latter two being the local organizers and editors of this volume. We made an effort to unite in the conference as well as in the present pro ceedings a multitude of different directions of active current work, and to bring together researchers from various countries as well as research fields that all are linked in some way with the modern theory of fractal structures. Although (or because) in Graz there is only a very small group working on fractal structures, consisting of 'non-insiders', we hope to have been successful with this program of wide horizons. All papers were written upon explicit invitation by the editors, and we are happy to be able to present this representative panorama of recent work on poten tial theory, random walks, spectral theory, fractal groups, dynamic systems, fractal geometry, and more. The papers presented here underwent a refereeing process.Springer Nature c/o IBS, Benzstrasse 21, 48619 Heek 296 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Die Bedeutung Hossdorfs für das architektonische Geschehen der 50er bis 70er Jahre ist erst in jüngster Zeit erkannt worden. Obwohl er als Bauingenieur vorwiegend im Bereich des Hochbaus tätig war, oft im Schatten der ihn beiziehenden Architekten, tritt seine eigene Handschrift bei diesen Bauten deutlich zu Tage. In seinem Privatinstitut entstand ein eigenes Modellversuchslaboratorium in dem er neuartige Messgeräte bis hin zu kompletten computergesteuerten Versuchs- und Berechnungssystemen, wie die weltweit beachtete 'Hybridstatik', entwickelte.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 276 pp. Deutsch.
