This book presents the latest findings and ongoing research in the field of green information systems and green information and communication technology (ICT). It provides insights into a whole range of cross-cutting topics in ICT and environmental sciences as well as showcases how information and communication technologies allow environmental and energy efficiency issues to be handled effectively. The papers presented in this book are a selection of extended and improved contributions to the 28th International Conference on Informatics for Environmental Protection dedicated to ICT for energy efficiency. This book is essential and particularly worth reading for those who already gained basic knowledge and want to deepen and extend their expertise in the subjects mentioned above.
This monograph contains recent studies in eco-informatics, promising ideas and new challenges in information management for supporting sustainability in companies and other organization. The scope of this book includes sets of solutions which show different stakeholders’ viewpoints on sustainability. In individual chapters, authors discuss the role which Environmental Information Systems (EIS) play in the environmental conscious functioning of enterprise. New models, methods and tools supporting sustainability are presented. Emphasis is placed on the innovative approach to eco-friendly organization and coordination of transport, logistics processes and operations management. The information management and decision making in manufacturing and service organizations is highlighted. The scope of this monograph also encompasses topics related to the modeling and monitoring of climate change.
Information technologies have evolved to an enabling science for natural resource management and conservation, environmental engineering, scientific simulation and integrated assessment studies. Computing plays a significant role in every day practices of environmental engineers, natural scientists, economists, and social scientists. The complexity of natural phenomena requires interdisciplinary approaches, where computing science offers the infrastructure for environmental data collection and management, scientific simulations, decision support documentation and reporting. Ecology, environmental engineering and natural resource management comprise an excellent real-world testbed for IT syst...

New insights into the interplay between conflict and cooperation, the impact of domestic political structures on foreign policy, the role of institutions, and the influence of worldviews and causal beliefs on decision-making.
In diesem Tagungsband zu den 10. BUIS-Tagen (20. Tagung der Fachgruppe Betriebliche Umweltinformationssysteme der Gesellschaft für Informatik e. V.) werden Thematiken „smarter“ Städte und Regionen unter Einsatz von nachhaltigen IKT-Lösungen in Beiträgen aus Wissenschaft und Praxis vorgestellt. Betriebliche Umweltinformationssysteme erfassen, analysieren und stellen hierbei umweltrelevante Daten für vielschichtige Prozesse bereit. Das Spektrum der Fachbeiträge zeigt die Vielfalt der Fragestellungen und den Einsatz von IKT-Lösungen in der Förderung der Ziele für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung auf. Wesentlichen Raum nehmen Beiträge zur Wissenschaftskooperation und zum Erfahrungstransfer zwischen afrikanischen und europäischen Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern auf allen Themenfeldern der Tagung ein.
Das Buch zu Business Intelligence (BI) präsentiert mit SAP NetWeaver 7.0. eine Version, die sich für die Lehre besonders gut eignet, weil aktuelle Technologie praxisnah und anschaulich präsentiert werden kann. Die Verknüpfung von Data Warehouse Technologie mit Business Information Warehouse erlaubt, BI aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln zu betrachten. Fallstudien mit präzisen Anweisungen und anschaulichen Grafiken zeigen das Zusammenspiel der verschiedenen Disziplinen in SAP NetWeaver 7.0 und lassen den Anwender Business Intelligence praktisch erleben.
This volume addresses the key question of the intersection of sociology and politics, and asks what a non-Marxist cultural perspective can offer the Left. Written by leading scholars, it develops new conceptions of social critique, new techniques of interpretive analysis, and new concepts for the sociology of democratic practice. It is a volume for the twenty-first-century, where global and local meet, when critical theory must examine its most fundamental presuppositions.
