This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Much of AI research is about problem-solving strategies, andseveral techniques have been crystalized. One such techniqueis constraint satisfaction or reasoning based on relations.Constraint-based reasoning is used to solve a wide field ofproblems, and recently constraint techniques have beenincorporated into logic programming languages, yielding awhole new field of research and application: constraintlogic programming. Constraint satisfaction techniques havebecome part of almost all introductory books on AI.This monograph is about constraint satisfaction. It differsfrom others in that it presents all approaches under acommon, generalizing view: dynamic constraints. This new wayof viewing constraints provides new insights about thedifferent approaches, and forms a very practical basis forteaching constraint-based reasoning. A uniform view of theconstraint world is also a good basis for constraintresearch. This text is not intended to be a self-containedtextbook on constraint-based reasoning, but rather acoherent text on an interesting view of the field. 136 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Mathematicians have long recognized the distinction betweenan argument showing that an interesting object exists and a procedure for actually constructing the object. Computer science adds a new dimension of interest in constructivity, since a computer program is a formal description of a constructive procedure that can be executed automatically. It has beenover a decade since a conference was devoted to constructivity, and never before has one been held specifically relating computer science to constructivity. Thus, this proceedings volume is the most concentrated offering ever produced of the diverse ways in which constructivity and computer science are related. The papers cover semantics and type theory, logic and theorem proving, real and complex analysis, topology and combinatorics, nonconstructive graph-theoretical techniques, and curriculum and pedagogic issues. The book offers a concentrated view of the many ways in which constructivity has assumed importance in computer science, and contains results available nowhere else. 264 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -What the book is about This book is about the theory and practice of the use of multimedia, multimodal interfaces for leaming. Yet it is not about technology as such, at least in the sense that the authors do not subscribe to the idea that one should do something just because it is technologically possible. 'Multimedia' has been adopted in some commercial quarters to mean little more than a computer with some form of audio ar (more usually) video attachment. This is a trend which ought to be resisted, as exemplified by the material in this book. Rather than merely using a new technology 'because it is there', there is a need to examine how people leam and eommunicate, and to study diverse ways in which computers ean harness text, sounds, speech, images, moving pietures, gestures, touch, etc. , to promote effective human leaming. We need to identify which media, in whieh combinations, using what mappings of domain to representation, are appropriate far which educational purposes . . The word 'multimodal ' in the title underlies this perspective. The intention is to focus attention less on the technology and more on how to strueture different kinds of information via different sensory channels in order to yield the best possible quality of communication and educational interaction. (Though the reader should refer to Chapter 1 for a discussion of the use of the word 'multimodal' . ) Historically there was little problem. 244 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In the past decade, the formal theory of specification,verfication and development of real-time programs has grown from work of a few specialized groups to a real 'bandwagon'. Many eminent research groups have shifted their interests in this direction. Consequently, research in real-time is now entering established research areas in formal methods, such as process algebra, temporal logic, and model checking. This volume contains the proceedings of a workshop dedicated to the theory of real-time with the purpose of stepping back and viewing the results achieved as well as considering the directions of ongoing research. The volume gives a representative picture of what is going on in the field worldwide, presented by eminent, active researchers. The material in the volume was prepared by the authors after the workshop took place and reflects the results of the workshop discussions. 736 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Rhetorik für den Ingenieur. - Diese Aussage impliziert eine Art Sonderbehandlung für eine spezielle Berufsgruppe. Unterscheidet sich denn deren Rhetorik, d.h. genaugenommen die Handhabung rhetorischer Ausdrucksformen und -mittel, so wesentlich von der Rhetorik anderer Berufe Sehr generalisiert betrachtet sicher lich, wenn man die üblichen Kommunikationsgewohnheiten der I ngenieure analysiert. Ingenieure bedienen sich besonderer Symbole: Netzpläne, Tabel len, Grafiken, Zeichnungen u.a. Die Zeichnung ist die Sprache der Techniker! Unvergessen und verpflichtend ist für mich die ser Leitspruch aus meiner eigenen Ausbildung zum Ingenieur. Diese Art der Kommunikation mit Symbolen reduziert die verbale Kommunikation. Man versteht sich, ohne daß viel Worte gemacht werden. Aber Ingenieure, mit ihrer so ausgeprägten Fähigkeit zu abstrahieren, müssen sich als Manager, als Team mitglieder oder als Pädagogen auch auf Kommunikationspart ner einstellen, die andere Denkstrukturen repräsentieren, die z.B. die Gabe haben, in Analogien zu denken, die aber auch der Anschauung bedürfen. Wenn Ingenieure in ihrer Rhetorik keine Sprachbarrieren auf bauen wollen, werden sie sich zum Beispiel bemühen müssen, nicht nur Fachtermini zu vermeiden, sondern auch abstrakte Sachzusammenhänge anschaulich darzustellen. Ich selbst weiß, daß dies lernbar ist, und leite eine permanente Nutzanwendung aus dem ab, was ich einst in einem Rhetorik seminar bei Gerd Ammelburg gelernt habe. v Seit mehr als 20 Jahren kenne ich sein berufliches Wirken, mir ist sein gedankliches und instrumentales Konzept vertraut und ich bin - was mir noch wichtiger erscheint - von der erfolg reichen Umsetzbarkeit überzeugt. 196 pp. Deutsch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Die Internationalisierung der Märkte und die verstärkte Globalisierung des Wettbe werbs stellen Anforderungen an unsere Unternehmen, in denen neue - kundenorien tierte -Produktionsformen gefordert sind. Hohe Typen-und Variantenvielfalt bei höch ster Qualität, kurze Lieferzeiten und hohe Termintreue sowie eine kurzfristige Marktver fügbarkeit der Produkte sind Kundenforderungen, denen sich Unternehmen heute stellen müssen. Unter Stichworten wie Lean Production oder Just in Time diskutieren wir momentan Produktionskonzepte, die offensichtlich deutliche Wettbewerbsvorteile gegenüber unseren traditionellen Strukturen besitzen. Wie kann eine moderne, kundenorientierte Produktion den scheinbaren Widerspruch zwischen einer planbaren Produktion und dem Reaktionsvermögen auf kurzfristige Kundenwünsche vereinen Wie können zu gleich die notwendige Flexibilität und eine höchstmögliche Rentabilität erzielt werden Lösungen liegen in einer Entflechtung der Produktion und dem Aufbau dezentraler, marktorienierter Strukturen, wie Fertigungs-und Montageinseln. Ganzheitliche Logi stikkonzepte optimieren den Informations-und Materialfluß durch schnittstellenarme Abläufe. Erweiterte Teileklassifizierung und Strategien der rollierenden Planung für produktionssynchrone Beschaffung und Bereitstellung reduzieren die Bestände. Zusätzliche Synergieeffekte entstehen durch Integration von Produktinnovation und Produktionsplanung. Was bedeuten kundenorientierte Produktionsstrukturen in der Praxis Die Referenten werden diese Frage sowohl aus Sicht der strategischen Produktions-und Organ isa tionsplanung als auch ausgehend von praktischen Erfahrungen diskutieren. 252 pp. Deutsch.
