Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Diese fünfte Auflage wurde zusammen mit dem zweitgenannten Autor kritisch durchgesehen, ergänzt und verbessert. Die Besprechung zur ersten Auflage ist nach wie vor aktuell.Aus den Besprechungen zur ersten Auflage: 'Aufgelockert durch viele Beispiele und Übungsaufgaben, wird die Theorie der Funktionen einer komplexen Veränderlichen bis zum Residuenkalkül entwickelt. Im Zentrum stehen die Integralsätze von Cauchy. Jeder Paragraph schließt mit historischen Hinweisen, die auch die persönlichen Beziehungen der Beteiligten nicht ausklammern. So erfährt man natürlich die unterschiedlichen Standpunkte von Cauchy und Weierstrass. Neben den Themen, die in keinem Text zur Funktionentheorie fehlen dürfen, findet man auch 'Raritäten', etwa: Eisensteins Zugang zu den trigonometrischen Funktionen mittels Reihen oder Ritts Satz über asymptotische Reihenentwicklung, welcher einen berühmten Satz von E. Borel enthält.'Elemente der Mathematik 424 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -We are both fans of watching animated stories. Every evening, before or after d- ner, we always sit in front of the television and watch the animation program, which is originally produced and shown for children. We find ourselves becoming younger while immerged in the interesting plot of the animation: how the princess is first killed and then rescued, how the little rat defeats the big cat, etc. But what we have found in those animation programs are not only interesting plots, but also a big chance for the application of computer science and artificial intelligence techniques. As is well known, the cost of producing animated movies is very high, even with the use of computer graphics techniques. Turning a story in text form into an animated movie is a long and complicated procedure. We came to the c- clusion that many parts of this process could be automated by using artificial - telligence techniques. It is actually a challenge and test for machine intelligence. So we decided to explore the possibility of a full life cycle automation of c- puter animation generation. By full life cycle we mean the generation process of computer animation from a children s story in natural language text form to the final animated movie. It is of course a task of immense difficulty. However, we decided to try our best and to see how far we could go. 400 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Software systems play an increasingly important role in modern societies. Smart cards for personal identi cation, e-banking, software-controlled me- cal tools, airbags in cars, and autopilots for aircraft control are only some examples that illustrate how everyday life depends on the good behavior of software. Consequently, techniques and methods for the development of hi- quality, dependable software systems are a central research topic in computer science. A fundamental approach to this area is to use formal speci cation and veri cation. Speci cation languages allow one to describe the crucial p- perties of software systems in an abstract, mathematically precise, and implementation-independent way. By formal veri cation, one can then prove that an implementation really has the desired, speci ed properties. Although this formal methods approach has been a research topic for more than 30 years, its practical success is still restricted to domains in which devel- ment costs are of minor importance. Two aspects are crucial to widen the application area of formal methods: - Formal speci cation techniques have to be smoothly integrated into the software and program development process. - The techniques have to be applicable to reusable software components. This way, the quality gain can be exploited for more than one system, thereby justifying the higher development costs. Starting from these considerations, Peter Muller has developed new te- niques for the formal speci cation and veri cation of object-oriented so- ware. The speci cation techniques are declarative and implementati- independent. They can be used for object-oriented design and programming. 312 pp. Englisch.

In some cases, major software systems are assembled with virtually no custom code in the system. The use of COTS software products as components o ers the promise of rapid delivery to end users, shared development costs with other customers, and an opportunity for expanding mission or business capabilities and performance as improvements are made in the commercial marketplace. Few organizations today can a ord the resources and time to replicate market-tested capabilities. Yet, the promise of COTS products is too often not realized in practice. There have been more failures than successes in using COTS software products. The research and software practitioner communities have been working with COTS-based software systems for a number of years. There is now su cient documented experience in the community to collect, analyze, and disseminate success stories, common failings, lessons-learned, and research advances. The mounting experience shows that the e ective use of COTS software products in major software systems demands new skills, knowledge, and abilities, changed roles and responsibilities, and di erent techniques and processes. The International Conference on COTS-Based Software Systems (ICCBSS) focuses on the challenges of building and maintaining systems that incorporate COTSsoftwareproducts.Theconferencesponsors,theNationalResearchCo- cil Canada, the Software Engineering Institute, and the University of Southern California Center for Software Engineering, aim to bring together managers, - velopers, maintainers, and researchers to share their expertise and experience. 276 pp. Englisch.

Ziel dieser Studie ist es, die Erfahrungen der einzelnen Beitrittsländer mit ihrer bisherigen Währungspolitik empirisch zu analysieren und währungspolitische Strategien zu erarbeiten. Als Ergebnis zeigt sich, dass eine Eurobindung für Slowenien, Estland und Ungarn aus Sicht dieser Länder, aber auch aus Sicht der EU sehr vorteilhaft sein kann. Für diese Länder sowie für Tschechien und Polen könnte der Übergang zur Währungsunion durch eine Lockerung des Wechselkurskriteriums oder eine vorzeitige Öffnung des Europäischen Währungssystems (EWS II) wesentlich erleichtert werden, ohne dass dies die Stabilität des Euro stören müsste. 140 pp. Deutsch.

Unlike the cir culations of most other organs, if the coronary circulation becomes insufficient to sustain myocardial contractile function, overall quality of life rapidly declines and life can abruptly end. In partnership with the cerebral circulation, the coronary circula tion plays a central role in sustaining life. However, unlike the cerebral circulation, whose function is self-sufficient to define life, the coronary circulation determines global blood flow and thus the initial state for the remainder of the body. This unique condition, together with the reality that coronary artery disease primarily affects peo ple in their productive years of life, has allowed physicians and scientists who study the heart to enjoy a privileged position in the field of medical research and clinical practice. Thus, it comes as little surprise that many new and exciting research developments involving the coronary circulation have recently come to the forefront of medical thinking. This reality, coupled with the large number of clinical trials of agents specif ically designed to sustain or improve coronary flow in many disease states, makes the timing of this monograph relevant. The book features papers presented at a recent international symposium, the fourth in a series of meetings on Applied Physiology of the Peripheral Circulation. The papers selected by the editors review the most impor tant advances in the fields of cardiology and the coronary circulation. 204 pp. Englisch.

Vertragsarztes ist erstmals 1985 ins Bewusstsein der Öffentlichkeit gerückt. In jüngster Zeit hat die Thematik durch große Strafverfahren, die Einrichtung von besonderen Prüfgruppen bei den Krankenkassen und durch gemeinsame Initiativen zur Betrugsbekämpfung von Krankenkassen, kassenärztlichen Vereinigungen und dem Bundeskriminalamt weiteres Interesse erfahren. Eine wissenschaftliche Untersuchung der Begehungsweisen des Abrechnungsbetruges lag jedoch bislang nicht vor. Die Arbeit behandelt die sich dazu im objektiven Tatbestand des Par. 263 StGB ergebenden wesentlichen Konstellationen und Problematiken. 276 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The idea to initiate a series of workshops to be entitled Engineering Societies in the Agent s World (ESAW) originated in late 1999, among members of the working group on Communication, Coordination, and Collaboration of the Intelligent Informa tion Agents special interest group of AgentLink, the European Network of Excellence for Agent Based Computing. By that time, the convergenceof scienti c and technolog ical progress in numerous areas, including software engineering, distributed problem solving, knowledge based systems, and dynamic pervasive networking had gained sig ni cant momentum. As a result, the reality of multiagent systems was now a given. In the eyes of the proposers and supporters of ESAW, these developments led to a new and manifest need, that was being left all but uncovered by the existing range of conferences and meetings. A platform that would overcome the disparate roots of the multiagent systems eld by placing a clear focus on an integrative level of anal ysis, namely: arti cial societies populating a world encompassing the natural and the arti cial, comprising autonomousentities and their environment. 212 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Declarative languages build on sound theoretical bases to provide attractive frameworks for application development. These languages have been succe- fully applied to a wide variety of real-world situations including database m- agement, active networks, software engineering, and decision-support systems. New developments in theory and implementation expose fresh opportunities. At the same time, the application of declarative languages to novel problems raises numerous interesting research issues. These well-known questions include scalability, language extensions for application deployment, and programming environments. Thus, applications drive the progress in the theory and imp- mentation of declarative systems, and in turn bene t from this progress. The International Symposium on Practical Applications of Declarative L- guages (PADL) provides a forum for researchers, practitioners, and implementors of declarative languages to exchange ideas on current and novel application - eas and on the requirements for e ective use of declarative systems. The fourth PADL symposium was held in Portland, Oregon, on January 19 and 20, 2002. 364 pp. Englisch.
