Conceptual Modeling - ER 2007: 26th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling

Springer, 2007

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 26th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, ER 2007, held in Auckland, New Zealand, in November 2007.

The 37 revised full papers presented together with 3 keynote lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from 167 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on...

Guide to Computer Network Security (Computer Communications and Networks)

Springer, 2008

Contemporary societies have increasing dependence on computers and computer networks, and the increasing popularity of mobile computing, have given rise to numerous computer security problems. Yet despite a high proliferation of expert remedies, a viable and comprehensive solution to these security issues remains elusive, and society continues to...

Computational Fluid Dynamics: An Introduction (Von Karman Institute Book)

Springer, 2008

Computational Fluid Dynamics: An Introduction grew out of a von Karman Institute (VKI) Lecture Series by the same title first presented in 1985 and repeated with modifications every year since that time.

The objective, then and now, was to present the subject of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to an audience unfamiliar with all but...

Power Management of Digital Circuits in Deep Sub-Micron CMOS Technologies

Springer, 2006

In the deep sub-micron regime, the power consumption has become one of the most important issues for competitive design of digital circuits. Due to dramatically increasing leakage currents, the power consumption does not take advantage of technology scaling as before. State-of-art power reduction techniques like the use of multiple supply and...

A New Perspective on Thermodynamics

Springer, 2009

The book adheres to a chronological development of the laws of thermodynamics as the inventors of those laws discovered them. This shows that "new" discoveries of non-optimal efficiencies are not new at all and have been analyzed by people like Lord Kelvin as far back as 1852 in his analysis of an unevenly heated body.

The Industrial Organization of Banking: Bank Behavior, Market Structure, and Regulation

Springer, 2010

The academic literature commonly examines issues relating to bank behavior, market structure, or bank regulation by abstracting from interrelationships among these factors. From a policy perspective, however, these elements of the industrial organization of banking are inextricably linked. The goal of this book is to provide a complete overview,...

Handbook of Data Compression

Springer, 2009

Data compression is one of the most important fields and tools in modern computing. From archiving data, to CD-ROMs, and from coding theory to image analysis, many facets of modern computing rely upon data compression. This book provides a comprehensive reference for the many different types and methods of compression. Included are a detailed...

Software Language Engineering: Third International Conference, SLE 2010

Springer, 2011

We are pleased to present the proceedings of the third international conference on Software Language Engineering (SLE 2010). The conference was held in Eindhoven, the Netherlands during October 12–13, 2010. It was co-located with the ninth international conference on Generative Programming and Component Engineering (GPCE) and the...

The Coming Robot Revolution: Expectations and Fears About Emerging Intelligent, Humanlike Machines

Springer, 2009

Making a robot that looks and behaves like a human being has been the subject of many popular science fiction movies and books. Although the development of such a robot faces many challenges, the making of a virtual human has long been potentially possible. With recent advances in various key technologies related to hardware and...

Agile Business Rule Development: Process, Architecture, and JRules Examples

Springer, 2011

According to Wordnet, a rule is “a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior” or “a prescribed guide for conduct or action.” Businesses, and organizations in general, operate under a number of rules: rules about what services to offer and to whom; rules about how much to charge for those services;...

Approximation Methods for Polynomial Optimization: Models, Algorithms, and Applications (SpringerBriefs in Optimization)

Springer, 2012

Polynomial optimization, as its name suggests, is used to optimize a generic multivariate polynomial function, subject to some suitable polynomial equality and/or inequality constraints. Such problem formulation dates back to the nineteenth century when the relationship between nonnegative polynomials and sum of squares (SOS) was...

Theories, Methods and Numerical Technology of Sheet Metal Cold and Hot Forming: Analysis, Simulation and Engineering Applications

Springer, 2012

Over the last 15 years, the application of innovative steel concepts in the automotive industry has increased steadily. Numerical simulation technology of hot forming of high-strength steel allows engineers to modify the formability of hot forming steel metals and to optimize die design schemes. Theories, Methods and Numerical Technology...
