Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Terms such as 'expanding Universe', 'big bang', and 'initial singularity', are nowadays part of our common language. The idea that the Universe we observe today originated from an enormous explosion (big bang) is now well known and widely accepted, at all levels, in modern popular culture. But what happens to the Universe before the big bang And would it make any sense at all to ask such a question In fact, recent progress in theoretical physics, and in particular in String Theory, suggests answers to the above questions, providing us with mathematical tools able in principle to reconstruct the history of the Universe even for times before the big bang.In the emerging cosmological scenario the Universe, at the epoch of the big bang, instead of being a 'new born baby' was actually a rather 'aged' creature in the middle of its possibly infinitely enduring evolution. The aim of this book is to convey this picture in non-technical language accessibile also to non-specialists. The author, himself a leading cosmologist, draws attention to ongoing and future observations that might reveal relics of an era before the big bang.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 224 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Während die moderne Kryptologie mathematisch strenge Konzepte und Methoden aus der Komplexitätstheorie verwendet, ist die Forschung in der Komplexitätstheorie wiederum oft durch Fragen und Probleme motiviert, die aus der Kryptologie stammen. Das vorliegende Buch hebt die enge Verflechtung dieser verwandten (doch oft separat behandelten) Gebiete hervor, deren Symbiose man als ¿Kryptokomplexität' bezeichnen könnte.Der Autor führt in verständlicher Weise in dieses faszinierende Gebiet der Kryptokomplexität ein - von den Grundlagen bis hin zur aktuellen Forschung. Neben der Bereitstellung der nötigen mathematischen Begriffe enthält dieses Buch zahlreiche Abbildungen, Übungsaufgaben, Beispiele, ein ausführliches Sachwortverzeichnis und eine umfassende Bibliographie. Es präsentiert einige zentrale Themen und Herausforderungen der derzeitigen Forschung und ist sehr gut für Studierende der Informatik, Mathematik oder Ingenieurswissenschaften ab den höheren Semestern eines Bachelorstudiums geeignet.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 548 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Pseudo-differential operators were initiated by Kohn, Nirenberg and Hörmander in the sixties of the last century. Beside applications in the general theory of partial differential equations, they have their roots also in the study of quantization first envisaged by Hermann Weyl thirty years earlier. Thanks to the understanding of the connections of wavelets with other branches of mathematical analysis, quantum physics and engineering, such operators have been used under different names as mathematical models in signal analysis since the last decade of the last century.The volume investigates the mathematics of quantization and signals in the context of pseudo-differential operators, Weyl transforms, Daubechies operators, Wick quantization and time-frequency localization operators. Applications to quantization, signal analysis and the modern theory of PDE are highlighted.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 238 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The papers in this volume were presented at TMRA 2007, the International Conference on Topic Maps Research and Applications, held October 11¿12, 2007, in Leipzig, Germany. TMRA 2007 was the third conference in an annual series of international conferences dedicated to Topic Maps in science and industry. The motto of TMRA 2007 was ¿Scaling Topic Maps.¿ Taken literally the motto implies developing Topic Maps approaches that scale to large data and user volumes. This is a very real and useful research problem which is addressed by many of the contributions to the conference. But there is an even broader interpretation of the motto: wide adoption of Topic Maps in academia and industry. This is an equally important problem, and one that the TMRA conference series exists to help solve. And there is a more fanciful view on the motto. To ¿scale¿ can also mean to climb, so for the attendees the conference provided a way to ¿scale the mountain of Topic Maps.¿ In all these ways TMRA 2007 helped to scale Topic Maps.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 268 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Data Warehousing and Knowledge Discovery have been widely accepted as key te- nologies for enterprises and organizations as a means of improving their abilities in data analysis, decision support, and the automatic extraction of knowledge from data. With the exponentially growing amount of information to be included in the decision making process, the data to be processed is becoming more and more complex in both structure and semantics. Consequently, the process of retrieval and knowledge disc- ery from this huge amount of heterogeneous complex data constitutes the reality check for research in the area. During the past few years, the International Conference on Data Warehousing and Knowledge Discovery (DaWaK) has become one of the most important international scientific events to bring together researchers, developers and practitioners. The DaWaK conferences serve as a prominent forum for discussing the latest research issues and experiences in developing and deploying data warehousing and knowledge discovery systems, applications, and solutions. This year¿s conference, the 10th Int- national Conference on Data Warehousing and Knowledge Discovery (DaWaK 2008), continued the tradition of facilitating the cross-disciplinary exchange of ideas, expe- ence and potential research directions. DaWaK 2008 sought to disseminate innovative principles, methods, algorithms and solutions to challenging problems faced in the development of data warehousing, knowledge discovery and data mining applications.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 452 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The aim of publishing this book is the further development of the concept of dissipative solitons, which has been in the air for at least the last decade and a half. Since the development of classical soliton theory in the 1960s, the theory of these ¿nonlinear modes¿ of integrable systems outgrew its initial ideas. The purely mathematical concept, as it appeared in the work of Zabusky and Kruskal in 1965, required experimental veri cation, and this was successfully carried out in liquids, optical bers, and some other exotic media. Scientists came to the conclusion that ¿solitons are everywhere¿. Indeed, the notion of solitons gave a powerful boost to the multibillion industry of telecommunications. The idea of solitons underlies our understanding of tidal bores, cyclones and massive ocean waves like tsunamis. There is no doubt that the magni cent phenomenon known as ¿Morning Glory¿ ¿ a cloud wave hundreds of kilometers long ¿ is also a dissipative soliton. During almost four decades of blossoming, soliton science produced brilliant results based on the ¿inverse scattering technique¿, which allowed for construction of soliton solutions for a variety of integrable systems describing physics of water waves, light propagation, etc. At the same time, experimental scientists realized that the framework of a few particular ¿integrable systems¿ does not fully allow us to describe real applications which do not exactly belong to the class of ¿integrable equations¿. Life is actually more complicated than the exceptional image of ideal solitons in an ¿integrable world¿.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 492 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Affect and emotion play an important role in our everyday lives: They are present whatever we do, wherever we are, and wherever we go, without us being aware of them for much of the time. When it comes to interaction, be it with humans, technology, or humans via technology, we suddenly become more aware of emotion, either by seeing the other¿s emotional expression, or by not getting an emotional response while anticipating one.Given this, it seems only sensible to explore affect and emotion in human-computer interaction, to investigate the underlying principles, to study the role they play, to develop methods to quantify them, and to finally build applications that make use of them. This is the research field for which, over ten years ago, Rosalind Picard coined the phrase 'affective computing'.The present book provides an account of the latest work on a variety of aspects related to affect and emotion in human-technology interaction. It covers theoretical issues, user experience and design aspects as well as sensing issues, and reports on a number of affective applications that have been developed in recent years.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 252 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Severalconferenceand workshopseriesarededicated to formalcomponent m- els and their use in veri cation and quality prediction, such as FMCO, CBSE, FESCA,FACS andQoSA. There are a plethoraof componentmodels published, all with speci c merits and bene ts. However, most often these models are not used for comparison, as each research group concentrates on di erent aspects of formal component modelling and quality prediction. Like the famous pro- 1 duction cell approach of the FZI, Karlsruhe, which has served since 1995 as a common example for di erent embedded systems safety veri cation, in this v- ume we de ne a commonexample for modelling approachesof component-based systems. This Common Component Modelling Example enables the compa- bility of di erent approaches, the validation of existing models, a better focus of research to tackle aspects less frequently dealt within the classi cation of - isting models and approaches, an eased interchange of research ideas, as well as a simpli ed and increased coordination and research collaborations to join complementary models and approaches. In this volume we de ne the Common Component Modelling Example and present the models in current modelling and analysis approaches. The book concludes with comments on each modelling approach by an international jury. August 2007 Andreas Rausch Ralf Reussner Ra aela Mirandola Franti sek Pl¿ a sil 1 Springer LNCS vol. 891.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This volume serves as the post-conference proceedings for the Second GeoSensor Networks Conference that was held in Boston, Massachusetts in October 2006. The conference addressed issues related to the collection, management, processing, ana- sis, and delivery of real-time geospatial data using distributed geosensor networks. This represents an evolution of the traditional static and centralized geocomputational paradigm, to support the collection of both temporally and spatially high-resolution, up-to-date data over a broad geographic area, and to use sensor networks as actuators in geographic space. Sensors in these environments can be static or mobile, and can be used to passively collect information about the environment or, eventually, to actively influence it. The research challenges behind this novel paradigm extend the frontiers of tra- tional GIS research further into computer science, addressing issues like data stream processing, mobile computing, location-based services, temporal-spatial queries over geosensor networks, adaptable middleware, sensor data integration and mining, au- mated updating of geospatial databases, VR modeling, and computer vision. In order to address these topics, the GSN 2006 conference brought together leading experts in these fields, and provided a three-day forum to present papers and exchange ideas.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 284 pp. Englisch.
