In the early years, software development was organized using the waterfall model, where the focus of requirements engineering was on a frozen requirements document, which formed the basis of the subsequent design and implementation process. Since then, a lot has changed: software has to be developed faster, in larger and distributed teams, for pervasive as well as large-scale applications, with more flexibility, and with ongoing maintenance and quick release cycles.What do these ongoing developments and changes imply for the future of requirements engineering and software design Now is the time to rethink the role of requirements and design for software intensive systems in transportation, life sciences, banking, e-government and other areas. Past assumptions need to be questioned, research and education need to be rethought.This book is based on the Design Requirements Workshop, held June 3-6, 2007, in Cleveland, OH, USA, where leading researchers met to assess the current state of affairs and define new directions. The papers included were carefully reviewed and selected to give an overview of the current state of the art as well as an outlook on probable future challenges and priorities. After a general introduction to the workshop and the related NSF-funded project, the contributions are organized in topical sections on fundamental concepts of design; evolution and the fluidity of design; quality and value-based requirements; requirements intertwining; and adapting requirements practices in different domains.Springer-Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 512 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Almost a century and a half of study produced substantial progress in our understanding of glial cells and their development. As in other areas of science, major advances were associated with the discovery of new methods. These are summarized first. Most of this account describes development of glia in the CNS. We begin with astroglia because of their known presence and significance in early embryonic stages. Some of Åström' s unpublished evidence is included in this section. After consideration of oligodendroglia, microglia and ependymal cells, we describe the development of Schwann cells, the glia found in the PNS. In general, morphological observations of developing mammalian nervous tissues (mostly rodent) are emphasized; we have also tried to include findings relevant to cytodifferentiation, interactions, functions and regulation of developing glia. Of course, much has been learned about glial development by studying other species and a variety of experimental models, such as tissue culture systems, grafts and mouse mutants. Selected aspects of these subjects are also included.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 120 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Self-normalized processes are of common occurrence in probabilistic and statistical studies. A prototypical example is Student's t-statistic introduced in 1908 by Gosset, whose portrait is on the front cover. Due to the highly non-linear nature of these processes, the theory experienced a long period of slow development. In recent years there have been a number of important advances in the theory and applications of self-normalized processes. Some of these developments are closely linked to the study of central limit theorems, which imply that self-normalized processes are approximate pivots for statistical inference.The present volume covers recent developments in the area, including self-normalized large and moderate deviations, and laws of the iterated logarithms for self-normalized martingales. This is the first book that systematically treats the theory and applications of self-normalization.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 292 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Cooperative, collaborating autonomous systems are at the forefront of research efforts in numerous disciplines across the applied sciences. There is constant progress in solution techniques for these systems. However, despite this progress, cooperating systems have continued to be extremely difficult to model, analyze, and solve. Theoretical results are very difficult to come by. Each year, the International Conference on Cooperative Control and Optimization (CCO) brings together top researchers from around the world to present new, cutting-edge, ideas, theories, applications, and advances in the fields of autonomous agents, cooperative systems, control theory, information flow, and optimization. The works in this volume are a result of invited papers and selected presentations at the Eighth Annual International Conference on Cooperative Control and Optimization, held in Gainesville, Florida, January 30 ¿ February 1, 2008.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 472 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The eld of applied nonlinear dynamics has attracted scientists and engineers across many different disciplines to develop innovative ideas and methods to study c- plex behavior exhibited by relatively simple systems. Examples include: population dynamics, uidization processes, applied optics, stochastic resonance, ocking and ightformations,lasers,andmechanicalandelectricaloscillators. Acommontheme among these and many other examples is the underlying universal laws of nonl- ear science that govern the behavior, in space and time, of a given system. These laws are universal in the sense that they transcend the model-speci c features of a system and so they can be readily applied to explain and predict the behavior of a wide ranging phenomena, natural and arti cial ones. Thus the emphasis in the past decades has been in explaining nonlinear phenomena with signi cantly less att- tion paid to exploiting the rich behavior of nonlinear systems to design and fabricate new devices that can operate more ef ciently. Recently, there has been a series of meetings on topics such as Experimental Chaos, Neural Coding, and Stochastic Resonance, which have brought together many researchers in the eld of nonlinear dynamics to discuss, mainly, theoretical ideas that may have the potential for further implementation. In contrast, the goal of the 2007 ICAND (International Conference on Applied Nonlinear Dynamics) was focused more sharply on the implementation of theoretical ideas into actual - vices and systems.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 492 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Die EU-Mitgliedstaaten haben sich das Ziel gesetzt, die Aufwendungen für Forschung und Entwicklung (FuE) bis zum Jahr 2010 auf 3% des Bruttoinlandsprodukts (BIP) anzuheben. Deutschland liegt mit einem Anteil der FuE-Aufwendungen von 2,54% des BIP unter der geforderten 3%-Marke.Zur Erreichung des Lissabon-Ziels führt die EU-Kommission eine steuerliche Breitenförderung von FuE als wichtige Maßnahme an. In Deutschland existieren im Gegensatz zur Mehrzahl der EU-Mitgliedstaaten sowie zu bedeutsamen Drittstaaten keine speziellen steuerlichen Maßnahmen zur FuE-Förderung.Die Arbeitsgruppe 'Steuerliche FuE-Förderung' der Forschungsunion Wirtschaft - Wissenschaft prüft in diesem Bericht, ob, inwieweit und mittels welcher Instrumente auch in Deutschland eine direkte steuerliche FuE-Förderung in Erwägung gezogen werden kann. Als Ergebnis werden konkrete Vorschläge zur Ausgestaltung einer steuerlichen FuE-Förderung in Deutschland entwickelt.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 148 pp. Deutsch.
