ITIL(r) Version 3 At a Glance takes a graphical approach to consolidating the information of ITIL(r) version 3. ITIL(r) is an internationally-recognized set of best practices for providing IT service management. IT organizations worldwide are implementing ITIL(r) as a vehicle for improving IT service quality and improve return on investment for IT services.

The desk reference's unique graphical approach takes otherwise complex textual descriptions and makes the information accessible in a series of consistent, simple diagrams. ITIL(r) Version 3 At a Glance will be of interest to...

This book offers a broad overview of techniques used in the design of Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) networks for efficient dissemination of information in computer networks. It starts with an overview of the hardware components then provides a thorough review of WDM. Each topic is covered rigorously with emphasis on detailed explanations of the approaches used. Numerous exercises are included.

Hinter vielen Programmen stecken clevere Verfahren, die man als Algorithmen bezeichnet. Algorithmen losen nicht nur mathematische Aufgaben, die sich mit Zahlen beschaftigen, sondern auch andere, ganz alltagliche Problemstellungen, bei denen logischer Spursinn, raumliche Orientierung oder geschicktes Verhandeln gefragt sind, beispielsweise: Wie sollten Seerauber eine Schatzkarte aufteilen, bzw. Bankangestellte den Geheimcode des Tresors? Wie ermittle ich den kurzesten Weg zwischen zwei Orten? Wie kann ich einen Kuchen gerecht aufteilen? Dieses Buch vollfuhrt einen Streifzug durch die...

Computersysteme mit dezentralen Kontrollstrukturen (z.B. Internet, Peer-to-Peer-Systeme, Grid-Computing) sind in immer mehr Bereichen anzutreffen. Da sie neben den Eigenschaften eines Computersystems haufig auch die eines Wirtschaftssystems besitzen, muss dieser neuen Komplexitat beim Entwurf von Algorithmen und Protokollen Rechnung getragen werden.

Algorithmic Mechanism Design liegt im Schnittfeld von Algorithmik, Spieltheorie und Mikrookonomie. Es zeigt, wie eigennutzig handelnde Akteure dazu veranlasst werden konnen, effiziente gemeinsame Entscheidungen zu treffen, und untersucht...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third Australian Conference on Artificial Life, ACAL 2007, held in Gold Coast, Australia, in December 2007. The 34 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 70 submissions. Research in Alife covers the main areas of biological behaviour as a metaphor for computational models, computational models that reproduce/duplicate a biological behaviour, and computational models to solve biological problems.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Algorithms and Models for the Web-Graph, WAW 2007, held in San Diego, CA, USA, in December 2007 - colocated with WINE 2007, the Third International Workshop on Internet and Network Economics. The 13 revised full papers and five revised short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a large pool of submissions for inclusion in the book. The papers address a wide variety of topics.

Allgegenwartige, in den Hintergrund tretende Informationstechniken konnten den Menschen in allen Lebensbereichen bei der Arbeit, beim Einkaufen, beim Reisen und zu Hause unbemerkt und mitdenkend" unterstutzen. Eine solche Entwicklung bietet nicht nur die Vision, intellektuelle und physische Begrenzungen des Menschen zu uberwinden, sondern auch viele neue Herausforderungen fur bisherige Werte und Lebensweisen. Daher drangt sich die Frage auf, wie wir angesichts dieser Moglichkeiten kunftig leben wollen und wie wir die vor uns stehenden Entwicklungen beeinflussen konnen. Das Buch beschreibt...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Conference on Pattern Recognition and Machine Intelligence, PReMI 2007, held in Kolkata, India in December 2007. The papers are organized in topical sections on pattern recognition, image analysis, soft computing and applications, data mining and knowledge discovery, bioinformatics, signal and speech processing, document analysis and text mining, biometrics, and video analysis.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation, ISAAC 2007, held in Sendai, Japan, in December 2007. The 77 revised full papers presented together with two invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 220 submissions. The papers included topical sections on graph algorithms, computational geometry, complexity, graph drawing, distributed algorithms, optimization, data structure, and game theory.

This is the second volume in a series of innovative proceedings entirely devoted to the connections between mathematics and computer science. Here mathematics and computer science are directly confronted and joined to tackle intricate problems in computer science with deep and innovative mathematical approaches.

The book serves as an outstanding tool and a main information source for a large public in applied mathematics, discrete mathematics and computer science, including researchers, teachers, graduate students and engineers. It provides an overview of the current questions in...
