One of the distinguishing features of this new text is its coverage of canvas, one of the most...

Ecosystem Services: Economics and Policy (Palgrave Studies in Natural Resource Management)

Palgrave Macmillan, 2019

This book bridges the gap between economic and ecological theory and practice. Its main focus is on how the principles of the Austrian School of economics could improve the validity of Ecosystem Services.

The concept of ‘Ecosystem Services’ is a relatively recent innovation in environmental thought. The...

Principles of Model Checking

MIT Press, 2008

Our growing dependence on increasingly complex computer and software systems necessitates the development of formalisms, techniques, and tools for assessing functional properties of these systems. One such technique that has emerged in the last twenty years is model checking, which systematically (and automatically) checks whether a model of a...

A Guide to Forensic Testimony: The Art and Practice of Presenting Testimony As An Expert Technical Witness

Addison Wesley, 2002

Information technology is an increasingly large factor in legal proceedings. In cases large and small, from the U.S. Government's antitrust suit against Microsoft Corporation, to civil lawsuits filed over the failure of a network, to criminal cases in which the authenticity of electronic evidence is questioned, the testimony of a technical...

Promoting Sustainable Electricity in Europe: Challenging the Path Dependence of Dominant Energy Systems

Edward Elgar Publishing, 2008

This is a timely and comparative assessment of initiatives to promote renewable electricity sources (RES) in eight European countries. Carried out by the ProSus research programme at the University of Oslo in cooperation with leading research institutions in each country, the study focuses on the promotional schemes used to foster RES in Austria,...

Digital Communication over Fading Channels: A Unified Approach to Performance Analysis

John Wiley & Sons, 2000

Regardless of the branch of science or engineering, theoreticians have always been enamored with the notion of expressing their results in the form of closed-form expressions. Quite often, the elegance of the closed-form solution is overshadowed by the complexity of its form and the difficulty in evaluating it numerically. In such instances, one...

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...

1: Cartilage and Osteoarthritis (Methods in Molecular Medicine)

Humana Press, 2004

Osteoarthritis (OA), the most common form of arthritis, is generally characterized by a slowly progressive degeneration of articular cartilage, particularly in the weight-bearing joints. It has a stronger prevalence in women, and its incidence increases with age. OA is a major and growing health concern in developed countries, owing to...

Spatio-temporal Networks: Modeling and Algorithms (SpringerBriefs in Computer Science)

Springer, 2012

Spatio-temporal networks (STN)are spatial networks whose topology and/or attributes change with time. These are encountered in many critical areas of everyday life such as transportation networks, electric power distribution grids, and social networks of mobile users. STN modeling and computations raise significant challenges. The model must...

Network Security Essentials: Applications and Standards (4th Edition)

Reasoning with Probabilistic and Deterministic Graphical Models: Exact Algorithms (Synthesis Lectures on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2013

Graphical models (e.g., Bayesian and constraint networks, influence diagrams, and Markov decision processes) have become a central paradigm for knowledge representation and reasoning in both artificial intelligence and computer science in general. These models are used to perform many reasoning tasks, such as scheduling, planning and...
