About this title

Synopsis

This book presents selected papers from an international workshop devoted to the theory, techniques and tools of decision analysis and support. Major trends in the development of this field are stressed, such as the tendency to place the final user of a decision support system in the center of attention, or an emerging connection between tools and software environments for modeling and for decision support. The volume is a continuation of the reports on earlier meetings which were published in the same series.

From the Back Cover

Nanocrystalline materials exhibit outstanding structural and mechanical properties. However, future progress in this emerging field is critically dependent upon the development of new methods of understanding and analyzing the underlying nanoscale and interface effects causing their unique mechanical properties. This exceptionally well- researched volume in Nanostructure Science and Technology serves both as an introduction to structural nanocrystalline materials as well as a monograph providing a systematic overview of the current state-of-the-art of fundamental and applied research in the area. The book provides a unique interdisciplinary approach by incorporating chapters from contributors from various academic disciplines including Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, and Polymer Science. Sudipta Seal integrates the most current and relevant technologies in the field to address the subject. This volume will prove to be indispensable to professionals in the in the field of nanomaterials science and nanotechnologies, from researchers and graduate students to engineers who are involved in production and processing of nanomaterials with enhanced physico-chemical properties.
