  • Publisher: IGI Global

In IoT scenarios, ways in which large-scale and cross-domain service systems can be established are still unclear, and no systematic or in-depth theories and methods have yet been found. An effective, formal foundation to IoT application designs could serve as a knowledge base for a variety of virtual world applications. Integrating and Streamlining Event-Driven IoT Services discusses how to observe isolated services running by different observation sources, how to fuse different observations to deal with observation conflict and incompleteness, and how to deal with adversaries and physical system features for real-time property enforcement over the fused knowledge. Overall, presenting an exploration of systematic theories and methods for the design of IoT services based on the principles of streamlining and integration, this book features research on topics such as CEP service, virtual machine technologies, and hybrid EPC. It is ideally designed for engineers, researchers, and university students seeking coverage on applications for smart cities, smart grids, and Industry 4.0.

Hagi Tudose. Nuvele și schițe

„Opera lui Delavrancea pare nedusa pana la capat, ramasa la nivelul promisiunii neimplinite. Autorul si-a cheltuit talentul cu nonsalanta – pentru a nu spune cu usurinta – si s-a resemnat prea usor la statutul de literat amator. Abandonand mult prea devreme proza, inainte de a fi implinit patruzeci de ani, a abandonat unica arie literara in care contributia lui putea fi substantiala. Nostalgia copilariei si decorul Barierei Vergului i-au oferit cele mai bune pagini unui Delavrancea ajuns, ca prozator, la maturitate: din pacate, la judecata finala, aceste pagini raman destul de putine.“ – Mihai Zamfir

This book takes the concept of social audit and lifts it beyond the role of functioning largely as a management tool. The book proposes a system in which social audit is regulated so as to provide a mechanism for effectively promoting corporate accountability in society. Taking this as its theme, this book provides both a conceptual explanation of the developmental perspectives of social audit regulation and empirical evidence of the impact of social audit practice from different parts of the world. It is the first book to explore the issues and challenges related to the development of effective social audit regulation.

Corporate Social Responsibility and the Paradoxes of State Capitalism

Through a series of case studies in diverse regions of the world, this book explores how transnational Norwegian energy and extractive industries handle corporate social responsibility (CSR) when operating abroad in places such as China, Brazil, and Turkey. With significant state ownership and embeddedness in the Nordic societal model, Norwegian capitalism is often represented as “benign” or ethical. By tracing CSR policy and practice—from headquarters to operations—this volume critically explores the workings of Norwegian corporate capitalism and its engagement with key issues of responsibility, accountability, and sustainability.
