This book aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working across domains and research disciplines to measure, model, and visualize complex networks. It collects the works presented at the 10th International Conference on Complex Networks (CompleNet) in Taragona, Spain, March, 2019. With roots in physical, information and social science, the study of complex networks provides a formal set of mathematical methods, computational tools and theories to describe, prescribe and predict dynamics and behaviors of complex systems. Despite their diversity, whether the systems are made up of physical, technological, informational, or social networks, they share many common organizing principles and thus can be studied with similar approaches. This book provides a view of the state-of-the-art in this dynamic field and covers topics such as group decision-making, brain and cellular connectivity, network controllability and resiliency, online activism, recommendation systems, and cyber security. This text will appeal to students and researchers in the field.
"Social networks fundamentally shape our lives. Networks channel the ways that information, emotions, and diseases flow through populations. Networks reflect differences in power and status in settings ranging from small peer groups to international relations across the globe. Network tools even provide insights into the ways that concepts, ideas and other socially generated contents shape culture and meaning. As such, the rich and diverse field of social network analysis has emerged as a central tool across the social sciences. This Handbook provides an overview of the theory, methods, and substantive contributions of this field. The thirty-three chapters move through the basics of social n...
The proceedings from the eighth KMO conference represent the findings of this international meeting which brought together researchers and developers from industry and the academic world to report on the latest scientific and technical advances on knowledge management in organizations. This conference provided an international forum for authors to present and discuss research focused on the role of knowledge management for innovative services in industries, to shed light on recent advances in social and big data computing for KM as well as to identify future directions for researching the role of knowledge management in service innovation and how cloud computing can be used to address many of the issues currently facing KM in academia and industrial sectors.
En aquest llibre es recullen les opinions i comentaris de vint-i-cinc antics alumnes de la Universitat Rovira i Virgili, de diferents àmbits de coneixement i de diferents promocions, que desenvolupen la seva activitat professional i investigadora a les nostres comarques o a qualsevol indret del món, sobre la formació que reberen a la universitat i la seva aplicabilitat en l’activitat professional quotidiana. Aquestes vint-i-cinc opinions d’antics alumnes han de servir per reflexionar sobre les missions que han estat encomanades a la universitat i millorar-ne l’acompliment.
El Morell: un poble, una història no és una obra d'història en voga, no pretén ser un recull i anàlisi de dades (socials, econòmiques, polítiques, etc.). És un llibre on la Història amb majúscules deixa pas a la microhistòria, a la vida de la gent. En Josep Bultó ens ofereix un petit viatge en el temps, on ressegueix les passes dels homes i les dones, en alguns casos des del naixement fins a la mort, en què tot rememorant els seus records i, al mateix temps, les vivències dels amics i amigues, ens endinsa en un món en part ja desaparegut. Passejarem pels carrers sense asfaltar, amb roderes marcades pel pas del carros; reviurem converses en què les dites populars eren freqüents. El seu interès ultrapassa l'àmbit estrictament local. Hi trobem un retrat social d'una forma de viure que, amb petites variants, podríem trobar en tots els pobles; uns cicles de vida marcats per les feines del camp, uns preceptes religiosos presents a totes les cases, unes sessions dobles de cinema els diumenges (on podíem menjar i fumar), uns enterraments establerts en tres categories i moltes altres curiositats que anireu descobrint o recordant quan us hi endinseu.
This work represents the third entry of the series of works on “Chaos, Complexity and Leadership”. Contents of the book are composed from broad range of chaos, complexity and their applications in multi disciplines. Articles reflect different perspectives in the field of applied nonlinear methods, modeling of data and simulations as well as theoretical achievements of chaos and complex systems. In addition to this, readers are going to find new applications in leadership and management of chaos and complexity theory such as in fields from education to politics. It is completely new and fresh piece of mind for readers who are interested in chaos, complexity and especially leadership.
The European Conference on Complex Systems, held under the patronage of the Complex Systems Society, is an annual event that has become the leading European conference devoted to complexity science. ECCS'12, its ninth edition, took place in Brussels, during the first week of September 2012. It gathered about 650 scholars representing a wide range of topics relating to complex systems research, with emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches. More specifically, the following tracks were covered: 1. Foundations of Complex Systems 2. Complexity, Information and Computation 3. Prediction, Policy and Planning, Environment 4. Biological Complexity 5. Interacting Populations, Collective Behavior 6. Social Systems, Economics and Finance This book contains a selection of the contributions presented at the conference and its satellite meetings. Its contents reflect the extent, diversity and richness of research areas in the field, both fundamental and applied.
Recent developments in air pollution modeling and its application are explored here in contributions by researchers at the forefront of their field. The book is focused on local, urban, regional and intercontinental modeling; data assimilation and air quality forecasting; model assessment and evaluation; aerosol transformation; the relationship between air quality and human health and the interaction between climate change and air quality. The work will provide useful reference material for students and professors interested in air pollution modeling at the graduate level as well as researchers and professionals involved in developing and utilizing air pollution models.
The history of modern architecture as constructed by historians and key texts. Writing, according to Panayotis Tournikiotis, has always exerted a powerful influence on architecture. Indeed, the study of modern architecture cannot be separated from a fascination with the texts that have tried to explain the idea of a new architecture in a new society. During the last forty years, the question of the relationship of architecture to its history—of buildings to books—has been one of the most important themes in debates about the course of modern architecture. Tournikiotis argues that the history of modern architecture tends to be written from the present, projecting back onto the past our cu...
