International Business Strategy: Rethinking the Foundations of Global Corporate Success

Cambridge University Press, 2009

How can you best extend your knowledge of how multinational enterprises (MNEs) function? What does globalization mean for today's managers? How do students turn the message from academic literature into effective business strategies within an MNE? This practical textbook shows how the key concepts from business strategy literature can be...

Linear Genetic Programming (Genetic and Evolutionary Computation)

Springer, 2006

Linear Genetic Programming presents a variant of genetic programming (GP) that evolves imperative computer programs as linear sequences of instructions, in contrast to the more traditional functional expressions or syntax trees. Primary characteristics of linear program structure are exploited to achieve acceleration of both execution time and...

Networks: Optimisation and Evolution (Cambridge Series in Statistical and Probabilistic Mathematics)

Cambridge University Press, 2007

Point-to-point vs. hub-and-spoke. Questions of network design are real and involve many billions of dollars. Yet little is known about optimizing design - nearly all work concerns optimizing flow assuming a given design. This foundational book tackles optimization of network structure itself, deriving comprehensible and realistic design principles....

Morality in the Philosophy of Thomas Hobbes: Cases in the Law of Nature

Cambridge University Press, 2009

In this book, S. A. Lloyd offers a radically new interpretation of Hobbes's laws of nature, revealing them to be not egoistic precepts of personal prudence but rather moral instructions for obtaining the common good. This account of Hobbes's moral philosophy stands in contrast to both divine command and rational choice interpretations. Drawing from...

Approximation, Randomization, and Combinatorial Optimization. Algorithms and Techniques

Springer, 2011

This volume contains the papers presented at the 14th International Workshop on Approximation Algorithms for Combinatorial Optimization Problems (APPROX 2011) and the 15th International Workshop on Randomization and Computation (RANDOM 2011), which took place concurrently in Princeton University, USA, during August 17–19,...

Codes and Ciphers: Julius Caesar, the Enigma, and the Internet

Cambridge University Press, 2001

For at least two thousand years there have been people who wanted to
send messages which could only be read by the people for whom they
were intended. When a message is sent by hand, carried from the sender
to the recipient, whether by a slave, as in ancient Greece or Rome, or by
the Post Office today, there is a risk of it...

Satisficing Games and Decision Making: With Applications to Engineering and Computer Science

Cambridge University Press, 2003

We constantly make decisions which are simply "good enough" rather than optimal--a type of decision for which Wynn Stirling has adopted the word "satisficing". Most computer decision making algorithms, however, seek only the optimal solution based on rigid criteria and reject others. Outlining an alternative approach, this...

Grounding Cognition: The Role of Perception and Action in Memory, Language, and Thinking

Cambridge University Press, 2005

One of the key questions in cognitive psychology is how people represent knowledge about concepts such as football or love. Recently some researchers have proposed that concepts are represented in human memory by the sensorimotor systems that underlie interaction with the outside world. These theories represent a recent development in cognitive...

Principles of Embedded Networked Systems Design

Cambridge University Press, 2005

"...this volume represents a real mine of information...anyone working in the field would benefit from owning a copy." IEEE Communications Engineer

Embedded network systems (ENS) provide a set of technologies that can link the physical world to large-scale networks in applications, such as monitoring of borders,...

God and the Founders: Madison, Washington, and Jefferson

Cambridge University Press, 2009

Did the Founding Fathers intend to build a "wall of separation" between church and state? Are public Ten Commandments displays or the phrase "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance consistent with the Founders' understandings of religious freedom? In God and the Founders, Dr. Vincent Phillip Muñoz answers these questions...

Modern Compiler Implementation in ML

Cambridge University Press, 2004

Over the pasi decade, there have been several shifts in the way compilers are built. New kinds of programming languages are being used: object-oriented languages with dynamic methods, functional languages with nested scope and first-class function closures; and many of these languages require garbage collection. New machines have...

An Analog Electronics Companion: Basic Circuit Design for Engineers and Scientists

Cambridge University Press, 2003

This morning my newspaper contained the obituary of Sir Alan Hodgkin, Nobel Laureate together with Andrew Huxley and John Eccles, in physiology and medicine. What has this to do with our interest in electronics? Well, the prize was awarded for the elucidation of the mechanism of the propagation of electrical impulses along neural...
