The Book of Observations

Intended for mature readers, The Book of Observations creatively expresses Douglas' views of life through his original and insightful observations which range from humorous to philosophical and at times combine elements of both. Some will make you laugh a little, while others will make you think a lot.Douglas provides an introduction to the book as well as introductions to each of the sixteen sections, and also shares closing comments.
A Catalyst for Ideas
In his thirty-four years as president of the School of American Research, Douglas W. Schwartz's far-reaching vision placed SAR on the intellectual edge of research about humans across the globe. Nowhere is this more evident than in his influence on the field of anthropological archaeology. The twelve essays in this volume celebrate his contributions by looking back at changes in the field and forward to vital questions, methods, and theories yet nascent. Ranging geographically from the North American Southwest-where Schwartz himself conducted extensive research-to Mesopotamia, central America, and the Indian subcontinent and chronologically from early hominid evolution through archaic hunter-gatherers to the classic and historical Maya, the distinguished contributors make the case for Schwartz's enduring legacy. Addressing major issues in relations of power, writing systems, and directions for future research, this volume is at once mature in its depth and exciting in its boldness.

Decision Support Systems
This book presents the state-of-the-art information on decision support systems (DSS). Over the last forty years, DSS have developed from theoretical concepts into the real world computerized applications and they motivate cognitive decision-making functions of humans based on artificial intelligence techniques for the purpose of performing decision support functions. DSS consists of three primary components: user interface, computerized model and knowledge base. The applications of DSS encompass several domains, ranging athwart transportation security, weather forecast, aviation checking, clinical diagnosis and business management to internet search techniques, therefore through the integration of knowledge bases with inference rules DSS are able to present suggestions to end users to enhance results and decisions. This book will serve as a useful resource for both graduate and undergraduate students engaged in computer-related fields as well as for the established professionals as a source of reference.
