Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Spiral bound. Hades was a powerful god in classical Greek mythology. His 'Helmet of Darkness' enabled him and the other gods to be invisible during their sometimes-ambiguous quests. Therefore, the helmet became proverbial for those who conceal their true nature. Digital platforms such as Uber, Amazon, Tinder and Airbnb, with their invisible Hades-esque algorithms, have drastically changed social structures and human behaviour???and not always for the better. They have given a completely new meaning to such concepts as work, employment, dating and tourism. The invasive nature of their algorithms is said to be largely derived from the extremely addictive mechanisms of the gaming industry and the classical pigeon-learning experiments performed last century by American psychologist B.F. Skinner. Jansen's intriguing fifth book offers a surprising critical artistic view of the downside of the digital platform economy. Uncommon signed. Signed by Author(s). Book.

First Edition. Oblong quarto (33.5 x 25cm); 23 sheets of hand-made paper, printed on rectos only and spiral-bound on left side. Inscribed on inside of front cover: "To John and Jean / Good luck on your Buffalo Bill Wild West Show / Love Adolph and Suzanne." Light dusting and subtle, even toning to covers, with shallow, moderate stain to lower right edge of rear cover and terminal leaves; Very Good+ Extremely early and uncommon artist's book by the well-known Milwaukee painter and sculptor. "The Platforms" is a collection of frenetic, barely-figural line studies, providing a satirical view of the 1960 Presidential election; for reasons not entirely clear to this cataloguer, the IBM Corporation is featured heavily (and quite negatively) in the visual narrative - perhaps a reference to the incursion of computer technology into the forecasting of American political contests, which had begun with IBM's UNIVAC computer predicting Eisenhower's victory over Adlai Stevenson in 1956. Rosenblatt (1934-2017) studied with Josef Albers at Yale; in 1966 he relocated with his wife Suzanne to Milwaukee, where he became a long-tenured (and much-beloved) professor of Art at UW-M. The book must have been produced in very small numbers, as OCLC notes only 5 holdings (3 in Wisconsin; two others at MOMA and SUNY Binghamton). Signed.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The main intention of this book is to give an impression of the state of the art in energy-aware task-scheduling-related issues for very dynamic emb- ded real-time processing applications. The material is based on research at IMEC in this area in the period 1999¿2006, with a very extensive state-- the-art overview. It can be viewed as a follow-up of the earlier ¿Modeling, veri cation and exploration of task-level concurrency in real-time embedded systems¿ book [234] that was published in 1999 based on the task-level m- eling work at IMEC. In order to deal with the stringent timing requirements, the cost-sensitivity and the dynamic characteristics of our target domain, we have again adopted a target architecture style (i. e. , heterogeneous mul- processor) and a systematic methodology to make the exploration and op- mization of such systems feasible. But this time our focus is mainly on p- viding practical work ow out of the (abstract) general ow from previous book and also the relevant scheduling techniques for each step of this ow. Our approach is very heavily application-driven which is illustrated by several realistic demonstrators. Moreover, the book addresses only the steps above the traditional real-time operating systems (RTOS), which are mainly focused on correct solutions for dispatching tasks. Our methodology is nearly fully independent of the implementations in the RTOS so it is va- able for the realization on those existing embedded systems where legacy applications and underlying RTOS have been developed.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 276 pp. Englisch.
