Regulation and Risk
This study examines the impact of a system of enforced self-regulation on the corporate life of British Railways. The book raises important questions about how workplace risks are managed and what influence the law can have.
Universal Artificial Intelligence
Personal motivation. The dream of creating artificial devices that reach or outperform human inteUigence is an old one. It is also one of the dreams of my youth, which have never left me. What makes this challenge so interesting? A solution would have enormous implications on our society, and there are reasons to believe that the AI problem can be solved in my expected lifetime. So, it's worth sticking to it for a lifetime, even if it takes 30 years or so to reap the benefits. The AI problem. The science of artificial intelligence (AI) may be defined as the construction of intelligent systems and their analysis. A natural definition of a system is anything that has an input and an output str...
Qualitative Research Methods
From selecting appropriate methods to publishing your findings, this second edition offers a multidisciplinary introduction to the qualitative research process built around the authors’ Qualitative Research Cycle – consisting of the design, data collection and analytic cycles.
Compliance
The concept of compliance is central to government attempts to regulate economic activities. In this volume Hutter investigates the notion of compliance in two areas of vital importance to our everyday lives, namely occupational health and safety, and the environment. Hutter provides a snapshot view of the work of field-level inspectors and in doing so is able to provide insights into the broader factors which influence regulation and its definition at the everyday level, adding to our understanding of an ill-defined area of criminal law and social control.
Managing Food Safety and Hygiene
'One of the most thorough and considered studies we have of the relationship between regulation and business risk management practices. Food regulation provides a revealing canvas for understanding the dynamics of the governance of risk.' – John Braithwaite, Australian National University Food safety and hygiene is of critical importance to us all, yet, as periodic food crises in various countries each year show we are all dependent on others in business and public regulation to ensure that the food we consume from food, in the retailing and hospitality sectors is safe. Bridget Hutter considers the understandings of risk and regulation held by those in business and considers the compliance...
Algorithmic Learning Theory
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Algorithmic Learning Theory, ALT 2005, held in Singapore in October 2005. The 30 revised full papers presented together with 5 invited papers and an introduction by the editors were carefully reviewed and selected from 98 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on kernel-based learning, bayesian and statistical models, PAilearning, query-learning, inductive inference, language learning, learning and logic, learning from expert advice, online learning, defensive forecasting, and teaching.
Robotics
Robotics: Science and Systems VIII spans a wide spectrum of robotics, bringing together contributions from researchers working on the mathematical foundations of robotics, robotics applications, and analysis of robotics systems.
Algorithmic Learning Theory
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Algorithmic Learning Theory, ALT 2006, held in Barcelona, Spain in October 2006, colocated with the 9th International Conference on Discovery Science, DS 2006. The 24 revised full papers presented together with the abstracts of five invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 53 submissions. The papers are dedicated to the theoretical foundations of machine learning.
Regulatory Crisis
This book presents the concept of 'regulatory crisis', reframing practical and theoretical questions about how disasters and crises challenge regulators and regulation.
Many-Electron Approaches in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics
This book provides a broad description of the development and (computational) application of many-electron approaches from a multidisciplinary perspective. In the context of studying many-electron systems Computer Science, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics are all intimately interconnected. However, beyond a handful of communities working at the interface between these disciplines, there is still a marked separation of subjects. This book seeks to offer a common platform for possible exchanges between the various fields and to introduce the reader to perspectives for potential further developments across the disciplines. The rapid advances of modern technology will inevitably require substantial improvements in the approaches currently used, which will in turn make exchanges between disciplines indispensable. In essence this book is one of the very first attempts at an interdisciplinary approach to the many-electron problem.
