Coping with Uncertainty: Modeling and Policy Issues

Springer, 2006

Uncertainties and risks have always been, and will remain, present; both in everybody’s life and in policy making. This presence is not always recognized because humans tend to perceive the world in a deterministic way, and in most cases succeed in somehow dealing with uncertainties. However, ignoring uncertainties often results in serious...

Biologically Inspired Artificial Intelligence for Computer Games

IGI Global, 2007

As game developers a few years from now, we may look back at current generation AI with astonishment and possibly with a hint of nostalgia. We will notice the extreme simplicity of the systems and behaviours we created, asking ourselves whether it was in fact by design or more by necessity. More importantly, we will be surprised by the amount of...

Analytically Tractable Stochastic Stock Price Models (Springer Finance)

Springer, 2012

Asymptotic analysis of stochastic stock price models is the central topic of the present volume.

Crop Improvement Under Adverse Conditions

Springer, 2012

Plant development and productivity are negatively regulated by various environmental stresses. Abiotic stress factors such as heat, cold, drought, and salinity represent key elements limiting agricultural productivity worldwide. Thus, developing crop plants with the ability to tolerate abiotic stresses is a critical need which demands modern...

Scientific Modeling and Simulations (Lecture Notes in Computational Science and Engineering)

Springer, 2009

The conceptualization of a problem (modeling) and the computational solution of this problem (simulation), is the foundation of Computational Science. This coupled endeavor is unique in several respects. It allows practically any complex system to be analyzed with predictive capability by invoking the multiscale paradigm linking...

Measurement and Modeling of Silicon Heterostructure Devices

CRC Press, 2007

When you see a nicely presented set of data, the natural response is: “How did they do that; what tricks did they use; and how can I do that for myself?” Alas, usually, you must simply keep wondering, since such tricks-of- the-trade are usually held close to the vest and rarely divulged. Shamefully ignored in the technical literature,...
