Building effective and user-friendly transportation systems is one of the big challenges for engineers in the 21st century. There is an increasing need to understand, model, and govern such systems at both the individual (micro) and the society (macro) level. Still, this raises significant technical problems, as transportation systems may contain thousands of autonomous, "intelligent" entities that need to be simulated and/or controlled. Therefore, traffic and transportation scenarios are extraordinarily appealing for Distributed Artificial Intelligence, and (multi-) agent technology in...

La scarsa qualita dei dati puo ostacolare o danneggiare seriamente l'efficienza e l'efficacia di organizzazioni e imprese. La crescente consapevolezza di tali ripercussioni ha condotto a importanti iniziative pubbliche come la promulgazione del "Data Quality Act" negli Stati Uniti e della direttiva 2003/98 del Parlamento Europeo.

Gli autori presentano un'introduzione completa e sistematica all'ampio insieme di problemi legati alla qualita dei dati. Il libro parte con una descrizione dettagliata di diverse dimensioni della qualita dei dati, come l'accuratezza, la completezza e la...

Increasingly, academic and industrial leaders are recognizing that college graduates need new skills to address business and technical issues in a service business environment. Because services depend critically on people working together and with technology to provide value for others, these new skills include the ability to integrate across traditional disciplinary areas to obtain globally effective solutions. Service Science, Management and Engineering (SSME) is one such approach to properly focusing education and research on services, and to preparing tomorrow s graduates to work in an...
