 Unconventional Computation: 7th International Conference, UC 2008, Vienna, Austria, August 25-28, 2008, ProceedingsThis book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Unconventional Computation, UC 2008, held in Vienna, Austria, in August 2008.
The 16 revised full papers presented together with 4 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers are devoted to all aspects of... | | Software Development Rhythms: Harmonizing Agile Practices for SynergyIn the deep dark night, lying down on Kande beach on the shores of Lake Malawi, we looked up into the cloudless sky. Countless tiny stars were blinking at us. A little tired, or perhaps just mesmerized by those distant, mysterious lights, we closed our eyes and began to hear more, the peaceful slap of water on the little beach, and the small,... | | Managing Systems Migrations and Upgrades: Demystifying the Technology PuzzleManaging Systems Migrations and Upgrades is the perfect book for technology managers who want a rational guide to evaluating the business aspects of various possible technical solutions. Enterprises today are in the middle of the R&D race for technology leadership, with providers who increasingly need to create markets for new technologies... |

Metaphors For God's Time in Science and ReligionMetaphors for God's Time in Science and Religion examines the exploratory work of metaphors for time in astrophysical cosmology, chaos theory, evolutionary biology and neuroscience. Stephen Happel claims that the Christian God is intimately involved at every level of physical and biological science. He compares how scientists and... | | The Rise of the BlogosphereIn Consilience: The Unity of Knowledge, biologist Edward O. Wilson writes that a “balanced perspective cannot be acquired by studying disciplines in pieces but through pursuit of the consilience among them. Such unification will come hard. But I think it is inevitable. Intellectually it rings true, and it gratifies impulses that rise from the... | | |

Quantum Statistical MechanicsThe book provides a contemporary understanding of irreversibility, particularly in quantum systems. It explains entropy production in quantum kinetic theory and in the master equation formulation of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. The first half of the book focuses on the foundations of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics with emphasis on... | | Introduction to Nonlinear PhysicsThis textbook provides an introduction to the new science of nonlinear physics for advanced undergraduates, beginning graduate students, and researchers entering the field. The chapters, by pioneers and experts in the field, share a unified perspective. Nonlinear science developed out of the increasing ability to investigate and analyze systems for... | | |
