Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Thishandbookwasmotivatedinpartbyourexperience(andthatofothers)in performing research and in teaching about networked and embedded control systems (NECS) as well as in implementing such systems. Although NECS- along with the technologies that enable them-have become ubiquitous, there are few, if any, sources where a student, researcher, or developer can gain a su ciently broad view of the subject. Oftentimes, the needed information is scattered in articles, websites, and speci cation sheets. Such di culties are perhaps to be expected, given the relative newness of the subject and the diversity of its constitutive disciplines. From control theory and communi- tions, to computer science and electronics, the variety of approaches, tools, and language used by experts in each eld often acts as a barrier to und- standing how ideas t within the broader context of networked and embedded control. With the above in mind, we have gathered a collection of articles that provide at least an introduction to the important results, tools, software, and technologies that shape the area of NECS. Our goal was to present the most important knowledge about NECS in a book that would be useful to anyone who wants to learn about any aspect of the subject. We hope that we have succeeded and that every reader will nd valuable information in the book. Wethanktheauthorsofeachofthechapters.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Online auctions are a platform to trade goods on the Internet. In this context, negotiation capabilities for software agents in continuous double auctions (CDAs) are a central concern. Agents need to be able to prepare bids for and evaluate offers on behalf of the users they represent with the aim of obtaining the maximum benefit for their users.For the agents, their bids are decided according to some bidding strategy. However, in CDAs, it is a complex decision problem because of the inherent uncertainty and dynamics of the auction market. In this book, we present a new bidding strategy for agents to adopt in CDAs and propose tools to enhance the performance of existing bidding strategies in CDAs. The superior performance of the new bidding strategy as well as the tools presented in this book are illustrated through extensive experiments. 140 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -La théorie classique des suites de Sturm fournit un algorithme pour déterminer le nombre de racines d'un polynôme à coefficients réels contenues dans un intervalle donné. L'objet principal de ce mémoire est de montrer qu'une généralisation adéquate de la théorie des suites de Sturm fournit entre autres choses:une notion d'indice de Maslov pour un lacet algébrique de lagrangiens défini sur un anneau commutatif;une démonstration du théorème fondamental de la K-théorie (algébrique) hermitienne, théorème dû à M. Karoubi;une démonstration des théorèmes de périodicité de Bott (topologique), dans l'esprit des travaux de F. Latour;un calcul du groupe K2 relatif, symplectique-linéaire, pour tous les anneaux commutatifs, dans l'esprit des travaux de R. Sharpe.Le livre est dans la mesure du possible « self-contained » et élémentaire: il met essentiellement en oeuvre des arguments d'algèbre linéaire ou bilinéaire.

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Acute and chronic hepatitis and hepatitis-related diseases such as liver failure, liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma are among the most important causes for disabilities and death. Hepatocellular injury is due to a variety of agents including viruses, toxins, radiation, injury and drugs but also bacteria, parasites and autoimmune reactions. This volume reviews today's knowledge about hepatitis with emphasis on comparative aspects between hepatitis in humans and animals, but also between different etiological agents. This particular viewpoint makes the book relevant for scientists from both human and veterinary medicine, gastroenterologists, pathologists, virologists and students of human and veterinary medicine. 400 pp. Englisch.…
