Researchers at Risk: Precarity, Jeopardy and Uncertainty in Academia (Palgrave Studies in Education Research Methods)

Palgrave Macmillan, 2021

This book explores the phenomenon of researchers at risk: that is, the experiences of scholars whose research topics require them to engage with diverse kind of dangers, uncertainties or vulnerabilities. This risk may derive from working with variously marginalised individuals or groups, or from being members of such groups themselves. At other...

Scalable Fuzzy Algorithms for Data Management and Analysis: Methods and Design

Information Science Publishing, 2009

Today, fuzzy methods are of common use as they provide tools to handle data sets in a relevant, robust, and interpretable way, making it possible to cope with both imprecision and uncertainties. Scalable Fuzzy Algorithms for Data Management and Analysis: Methods and Design presents up-to-date techniques for addressing data...

Evolutionary Computation in Dynamic and Uncertain Environments (Studies in Computational Intelligence)

Springer, 2007

This book provides a compilation on the state-of-the-art and recent advances of evolutionary algorithms in dynamic and uncertain environments within a unified framework. The motivation for this book arises from the fact that some degree of uncertainty in characterizing any realistic engineering systems is inevitable. Representative methods for...

Fuzzy Surfaces in GIS and Geographical Analysis: Theory, Analytical Methods, Algorithms and Applications

CRC Press, 2007

Surfaces are a central to geographical analysis. Their generation and manipulation are a key component of geographical information systems (GISs). However, geographical surface data is often not precise. When surfaces are used to model geographical entities, the data inherently contains uncertainty in terms of both position and attribute....

Theory and Approaches of Group Decision Making with Uncertain Linguistic Expressions (Uncertainty and Operations Research)

Springer, 2019

This book mainly introduces a series of theory and approaches of group decision-making based on several types of uncertain linguistic expressions and addresses their applications. The book pursues three major objectives: (1) to introduce some techniques to model several types of natural linguistic expressions; (2) to handle these...

Fantasies of Time and Death: Dunsany, Eddison, Tolkien

Palgrave Macmillan, 2020

This book reveals the unique contribution made by the three founding fathers of British fantasy?Lord Dunsany, E. R. Eddison and J. R. R. Tolkien?to our culture’s perennial reassessment of the meanings of time, death and eternity. It traces the poetic, philosophical and theological roots of the striking preoccupation with mortality and...

Software Development Failures

MIT Press, 2003

Failed or abandoned software development projects cost the U.S. economy alone billions of dollars a year. In Software Development Failures, Kweku Ewusi-Mensah offers an empirically grounded study that suggests why these failures happen and how they can be avoided. Case studies analyzed include the well-known Confirm travel industry...

Better Business Decisions from Data: Statistical Analysis for Professional Success

Apress, 2014

Everyone encounters statistics on a daily basis. They are used in proposals, reports, requests, and advertisements, among others, to support assertions, opinions, and theories. Unless you’re a trained statistician, it can be bewildering. What are the numbers really saying or not saying? Better Business Decisions from Data:...

Business Case Analysis with R: Simulation Tutorials to Support Complex Business Decisions

Apress, 2018

This tutorial teaches you how to use the statistical programming language R to develop a business case simulation and analysis. It presents a methodology for conducting business case analysis that minimizes decision delay by focusing stakeholders on what matters most and suggests pathways for minimizing the risk in strategic and...

Synchronization in Wireless Sensor Networks: Parameter Estimation, Peformance Benchmarks, and Protocols

Cambridge University Press, 2009

The clock or time synchronization problem in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) requires a procedure for providing a common notion of time across the nodes of WSNs. In general, clock synchronization is viewed as a critical factor in maintaining the good functioning of WSNs due mainly to their decentralized organization and timing uncertainties...
