Every day we need to solve large problems for which supercomputers are needed. High performance computing (HPC) is a paradigm that allows to efficiently implement large-scale computational tasks on powerful supercomputers unthinkable without optimization. We try to minimize our effort and to maximize the achieved profit. Many challenging real world problems arising in engineering, economics, medicine and other areas can be formulated as large-scale computational tasks. The volume is a comprehensive collection of extended contributions from the High performance computing conference held in Borovets, Bulgaria, September 2019. This book presents recent advances in high performance computing. The topics of interest included into this volume are: HP software tools, Parallel Algorithms and Scalability, HPC in Big Data analytics, Modelling, Simulation & Optimization in a Data Rich Environment, Advanced numerical methods for HPC, Hybrid parallel or distributed algorithms. The volume is focused on important large-scale applications like Environmental and Climate Modeling, Computational Chemistry and Heuristic Algorithms.
This 49th volume offers a good sample of the main streams of current research on probability and stochastic processes, in particular those active in France. This includes articles on latest developments on diffusion processes, large deviations, martingale theory, quasi-stationary distribution, random matrices, and many more. All the contributions come from spontaneous submissions and their diversity illustrates the good health of this branch of mathematics. The featured contributors are E. Boissard, F. Bouguet, J. Brossard, M. Capitaine, P. Cattiaux, N. Champagnat, K. Abdoulaye Coulibaly-Pasquier, H. Elad Altman, A. Guillin, P. Kratz, A. Lejay, C. Leuridan, P. McGill, L. Miclo, G. Pagès, E. Pardoux, P. Petit, B. Rajeev, L. Serlet, H. Tsukada, D. Villeomannais and B. Wilbertz.
This collection honours Ron Doney’s work and includes invited articles by his collaborators and friends. After an introduction reviewing Ron Doney’s mathematical achievements and how they have influenced the field, the contributed papers cover both discrete-time processes, including random walks and variants thereof, and continuous-time processes, including Lévy processes and diffusions. A good number of the articles are focused on classical fluctuation theory and its ramifications, the area for which Ron Doney is best known.
Lévy processes, that is, processes in continuous time with stationary and independent increments, form a flexible class of models, which have been applied to the study of storage processes, insurance risk, queues, turbulence, laser cooling, and of course finance, where they include particularly important examples having "heavy tails." Their sample path behaviour poses a variety of challenging and fascinating problems, which are addressed in detail.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on Biometrics, ICB 2007, held in Seoul, Korea, August 2007. Biometric criteria covered by the papers are assigned to face, fingerprint, iris, speech and signature, biometric fusion and performance evaluation, gait, keystrokes, and others. In addition, the volume also announces the results of the Face Authentication Competition, FAC 2006.
This book contains the extended and revised versions of selected papers from the 4th International Symposium on Business Modeling and Software Design, BMSD 2014, held in Luxembourg, Luxembourg, in June 2014. The symposium was organized and sponsored by the Interdisciplinary Institute for Collaboration and Research on Enterprise Systems and Technology (IICREST), in collaboration with the Public Research Centre Henri Tudor (TUDOR). Cooperating organizations were the Dutch Research School for Information and Knowledge Systems (SIKS), Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH), the UTwente Center for Telematics and Information Technology (CTIT), and AMAKOTA Ltd. The 37 papers presented at BMSD ...
