This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Symposium on Algorithmic Game Theory, SAGT 2008, held in Paderborn, Germany, in April/May 2008.

The 28 revised full papes presented together with 3 invited lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from 60 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on routing and scheduling, markets, mechanism design, potpourri of games, solution concepts, and cost sharing.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of UNISCON 2008 held in Klagenfurt, Austria, during April 22-25, 2008.

UNISCON combines the ECOMO workshop series and the ISTA conference series. The 19 papers dealing with conceptual modeling, model-driven software development and information systems applications represent a 30% selection from the original set of submissions.

They are completed by two keynote lectures and 35 papers from internationally renowned researchers, invited in honor of Heinrich C. Mayr, whose 60th birthday is also celebrated at this event, that he...

Das Buch behandelt praxisbezogene Methoden zur Analyse und Steuerung operationaler IT-Risiken entsprechend der Anforderungen im Gesetz zur Kontrolle und Transparenz im Unternehmensbereich (KonTraG). Prasentiert werden zudem Konzepte fur den Aufbau und den Ablauf einer Notfall- und Krisenorganisation in Unternehmen sowie Verfahren zur Pravention und Durchfuhrung von Ubungen im Not- oder Katastrophenfall. Zu den Praxisbeispielen werden Checklisten zur Verfugung gestellt, die als Referenz bei der Erstellung eigener Dokumente dienen."

This book contains papers from the 2007 European Conference on Web Services and the Workshop on Emerging Web Services Technology. Coverage includes grid-based computing, mobility issues for web services, dynamic web services, and model driven engineering.

Interval computing combined with fuzzy logic has become an emerging tool in studying artificial intelligence and knowledge processing (AIKP) applications since it models uncertainties frequently raised in the field. This book provides introductions for both interval and fuzzy computing in a very accessible style.

Application algorithms covered in this book include quantitative and qualitative data mining with interval valued datasets, decision making systems with interval valued parameters, interval valued Nash games and interval weighted graphs. Successful applications in...

Enterprise Modeling has been defined as the art of externalizing enterprise knowledge, i.e., representing the core knowledge of the enterprise. Although useful in product design and systems development, for modeling and model-based approaches to have a more profound effect, a shift in modeling approaches and methodologies is necessary. Modeling should become as natural as drawing, sketching and scribbling, and should provide powerful services for capturing work-centric, work-supporting and generative knowledge, for preserving context and ensuring reuse. A solution is the application of...

In this ground-breaking study M.I. Franklin explores the form and substance of everyday life online from a critical postcolonial perspective. With Internet access and social media uses accelerating in the Global South, in-depth studies of just how non-western communities, at home and living abroad, actually use the Internet and web-based media are still relatively few. This book's pioneering use of virtual ethnography and mixed method research in this study of a longstanding 'media diaspora' incorporates online participant-observation with offline fieldwork to explore how postcolonial...

Data Mining for Business Applications presents the state-of-the-art research and development outcomes on methodologies, techniques, approaches and successful applications in the area. The contributions mark a paradigm shift from data-centered pattern mining to domain driven actionable knowledge discovery for next-generation KDD research and applications. The contents identify how KDD techniques can better contribute to critical domain problems in theory and practice, and strengthen business intelligence in complex enterprise applications. The volume also explores...
