This book develops allocation mechanisms that aim to ensure an efficient resource allocation in modern IT-services. Recent methods of artificial intelligence, such as neural networks and reinforcement learning, and nature-oriented optimization methods, such as genetic algorithms and simulated annealing, are advanced and applied to allocation processes in distributed IT-infrastructures, or grid systems.

This volume features contributions to agent-based computational modeling from the social sciences and computer sciences. It presents applications of methodologies and tools, focusing on the uses, requirements, and constraints of agent-based models used by social scientists. Topics include agent-based macroeconomics, the emergence of norms and conventions, the dynamics of social and economic networks, and behavioral models in financial markets.

This proceedings volume consists of selected papers presented at the Ninth Int- national Conference on Computer-Aided Scheduling of Public Transport (CASPT 2004), which was held at the Hilton San Diego Resort and Conference Center in San Diego, California, USA, from August 9-11, 2004. The CASPT 2004 conference is the continuation of a series of international workshops and conferences prese- ing recent research and progress in computer-aided scheduling in public transport. Previous workshops and conferences were held in: Chicago (1975) Leeds (1980) Montreal (1983 and 1990) Hamburg (1987)...

Capital income taxation is a complicated issue because of the g- eral equilibrium implications these taxes have with regard to the int- sectoral and intertemporal allocation of economic resources. Together with Michael Stimmelmayr (CES, Munich) and Christian Keuschnigg (IFF, St. Gallen), Doina Radulescu from the Ifo Institute for E- nomic Research has designed a complex and particularly elegant - tertemporal general equilibrium model of the economy, called IfoMod. IfoMod makes it possible to calculate the welfare gains and losses from fundamental tax reforms in present value terms. One of the...

Euro-Par the European Conference on Parallel Computing is an international conference series dedicated to the promotion and advancement of all aspects of parallel computing. The major themes can be divided into the broad categories of hardware, software, algorithms, and applications for parallel computing. The objective of Euro-Par is to provide a forum within which to promote the dev- opment of parallel computing both as an industrial technique and an academic discipline, extending the frontier of both the state of the art and the state of the practice. This is particularlyimportant at a...

Die vorliegende Arbeit beruht auf einer Ausarbeitung einer einseme strigen Vorlesung tiber "Hkonometrie," die der erste Autor im SS 1969 an der Universitat Karlsruhe gehalten hat. Es war damals nicht mog lich, den Studenten ein deutschsprachiges Textbuch zu empfehlen, das in etwa den dargebotenen Stoff enthielt. Dagegen existieren in der englischen Literatur hervorragende Lehrbticher, es seien nur die Werke von Goldberger und Johnston erwahnt. In Zusammenarbeit mit GBtz Uebe entstand daher diese Arbeit, die sich in erster Linie an Studenten wendet, um ihnen das Studium der Methoden der...
