Constraint Satisfaction Techniques for Agent-Based Reasoning

Birkhauser, 2005

An important aspect of multi agent systems are agent reasoning techniques for problem solving, either at the level of a single agent or at the level of distributed collaboration amongst multiple agents.

Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP) prove to be a generic framework which can be applied for modeling and solving a wide range...

Contemporary Cryptology (Advanced Courses in Mathematics - CRM Barcelona)

Birkhauser, 2005

In February 2004, at the Universitat Polit`ecnica de Catalunya, we presented a 45-hour Advanced Course on Contemporary Cryptology, organised by the Centre de Recerca Matem`atica. This volume is an expanded and unified version of the material presented in the lectures and the background material that we distributed among the...

Failed Stone

Birkhauser, 2002

In the spring of 2002, I wrote a book entitled Falling Glass: Problems and Solutions in Contemporary Architecture. The research for Falling Glass helped me understand how glass failures could be avoided and enlightened me as to which innovations were being explored within the glass industry. Originally, the book was...

Emerging Web Services Technology, Volume II (Whitestein Series in Software Agent Technologies and Autonomic Computing)

Birkhauser, 2008

This 2nd volume on Emerging Web Services Technologies continues to follow the current research activities in the areas of Web Services and Service Oriented Architectures. By collecting the proceedings of the second Workshop of Emerging Web Services Technology 2007 it contains many examples of promising research activities...

Community-Acquired Pneumonia (Birkh?user Advances in Infectious Diseases)

Birkhauser, 2007

Community-acquired pneumonia is a disease of high morbidity and mortality. Demographic changes in industrialised countries with a growing population of elderly persons will add to its significance. In the last years much progress in the field of community-acquired pneumonia has been achieved. Vaccination programs against...

Pediatric Infectious Diseases Revisited (Birkh?user Advances in Infectious Diseases)

Birkhauser, 2007

In both industrialized and developing countries, childhood immunization has become one of the most important and cost-effective public health interventions. National immunization programs have prevented millions of deaths since WHO initiated the ‘Expanded Program on Immunization’ in 1974. Smallpox was eradicated in 1979,...

Functional Analysis Methods for Reliability Models (Pseudo-Differential Operators)

Birkhauser, 2011

People are often concerned with the reliability of products they use and of the friends and associates with whom they interact daily in a myriad of ways. Although the term “reliability” may not occur in the description of a given product or interaction, it is often the attribute that the individual means in expression of...

Advanced Real Analysis

Birkhauser, 2005

This book and its companion volume Basic Real Analysis systematically develop concepts and tools in real analysis that are vital to every mathematician, whether pure or applied, aspiring or established. The two books together contain what the young mathematician needs to know about real analysis in order to communicate well with...

Approximation Theory: From Taylor Polynomials to Wavelets (Applied and Numerical Harmonic Analysis)

Birkhauser, 2005

This concisely written book gives an elementary introduction to a classical area of mathematics – approximation theory – in a way that naturally leads to the modern field of wavelets. The exposition, driven by ideas rather than technical details and proofs, demonstrates the dynamic nature of mathematics and the...

Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations with Applications (International Series of Numerical Mathematics)

Birkhauser, 2013

This book primarily concerns quasilinear and semilinear elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations, inequalities, and systems. The exposition leads the reader through the general theory based on abstract (pseudo-) monotone or accretive operators as fast as possible towards the analysis of concrete differential equations, which have...

A Tale of Two Fractals

Birkhauser, 2013

Since Benoit Mandelbrot's pioneering work in the late 1970s, scores of research articles and books have been published on the topic of fractals. Despite the volume of literature in the field, the general level of theoretical understanding has remained low; most work is aimed either at too mainstream an audience to...

A Probability Path (Modern Birkhäuser Classics)

Birkhauser, 2013

Many probability books are written by mathematicians and have the built-in bias that the reader is assumed to be a mathematician coming to the material for its beauty. This textbook is geared towards beginning graduate students from a variety of disciplines whose primary focus is not necessarily mathematics for its own sake. Instead,...
