Information Infrastructure(s)
This book marks an important contribution to the fascinating debate on the role that information infrastructures and boundary objects play in contemporary life, bringing to the fore the concern of how cooperation across different groups is enabled, but also constrained, by the material and immaterial objects connecting them. As such, the book itself is situated at the crossroads of various paths and genealogies, all focusing on the problem of the intersection between different levels of scale throughout devices, networks, and society. Information infrastructures allow, facilitate, mediate, saturate and influence people’s material and immaterial surroundings. They are often shaped and inter...
Selected Topics in Nonlinear Dynamics and Theoretical Electrical Engineering
This book contains a collection of recent advanced contributions in the field of nonlinear dynamics and synchronization, including selected applications in the area of theoretical electrical engineering. The present book is divided into twenty-one chapters grouped in five parts. The first part focuses on theoretical issues related to chaos and synchronization and their potential applications in mechanics, transportation, communication and security. The second part handles dynamic systems modelling and simulation with special applications to real physical systems and phenomena. The third part discusses some fundamentals of electromagnetics (EM) and addresses the modelling and simulation in some real physical electromagnetic scenarios. The fourth part mainly addresses stability concerns. Finally, the last part assembles some sample applications in the area of optimization, data mining, pattern recognition and image processing.
Human Factors in Computing and Informatics
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Conference on Human Factors in Computing and Informatics, SouthCHI 2013, held in Maribor, Slovenia, in July 2013. SouthCHI is the successor of the USAB Conference series and promotes all aspects of human-computer interaction. The 38 revised full papers presented together with 12 short papers, 4 posters and 3 doctoral thesis papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 169 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: measurement and usability evaluation; usability evaluation - medical environments; accessibility methodologies; game-based methodologies; Web-based systems and attribution research; virtual environments; design culture for ageing well: designing for "situated elderliness"; input devices; adaptive systems and intelligent agents; and assessing the state of HCI research and practice in South-Eastern Europe.
Data and Mobility
Over the last few years, the local value of mobility and information in our society has grown tremendously. As the importance of Information and Communication Te- nologies (ICT) increases, we expect more changes in future mobility behavior. This includes not only mobility behavior for the single user, but also for the transportation of goods and infrastructure operators. It will also affect the regulation of resources and political decision-making. Both, data and mobility become more connected. To cope effectively with the anticipated changes, we must expand our focus and take current developments in both areas into account. The topic of the Lakeside Conference 2010, Data and Mobility – Tr...
Recent Advances in Nonlinear Dynamics and Synchronization
This book focuses on modelling and simulation, control and optimization, signal processing, and forecasting in selected nonlinear dynamical systems, presenting both literature reviews and novel concepts. It develops analytical or numerical approaches, which are simple to use, robust, stable, flexible and universally applicable to the analysis of complex nonlinear dynamical systems. As such it addresses key challenges are addressed, e.g. efficient handling of time-varying dynamics, efficient design, faster numerical computations, robustness, stability and convergence of algorithms. The book provides a series of contributions discussing either the design or analysis of complex systems in scien...
Information und Gesellschaft
Am 1. Januar 2007 wurde an der Alpen-Adria-Universität zu Klagenfurt die Fakultät für Technische Wissenschaften ins Leben gerufen. Damit wurde einem sozialhistorischen Trend Rechnung getragen, der un- kehrbar ist: Die Gesellschaft der Zukunft wird eine technologisch gepr- te sein. „Wenn man den Maßstab für die Bedeutung der einzelnen Teil- biete der menschlichen Kultur in erster Linie ihrer realen Wirksamkeit entnimmt,“ so hatte Ernst Cassirer in seinem berühmten Aufsatz „Form und Technik“ gesagt, „wenn man den Wert dieser Gebiete nach der G- ße ihrer unmittelbaren Leistung bestimmt, so ist kaum ein Zweifel daran erlaubt, dass, mit diesem Maße gemessen, die Technik im Aufba...
Hague Yearbook of International Law / Annuaire de La Haye de Droit International, Vol. 26 (2013)
The title of the Hague Yearbook of International Law reflects the close ties which have always existed between the AAA and the City of The Hague with its international law institutions, and indicates the Yearbook’s aim of devoting attention to developments taking place in the international law institutions based in The Hague. However, the Yearbook has a broader scope as well: to offer a platform for review of new developments in the field of international law. As of the 2010 Volume, the Yearbook has been compiled by a new and expanded Editorial Board, offering fresh ideas and a new approach. A newly established Advisory Board has also been added, including ICJ Judge Bruno Simma, Serge Bram...
Female Leadership in Branchen mit hohem Digitalisierungsgrad
Die Digitale Transformation führt zu tiefgreifenden Veränderungen in Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft, wobei Leadership eine zentrale Rolle spielt. Die Partizipation von Frauen an der Gestaltung der Digitalisierung, insbesondere auf Führungsebene, ist hierbei essenziell. In diesem Zusammenhang werden neben der Diskussion des Begriffs des Female Leadership auch Führungsstile von Frauen, ihre Karrierepfade, Persönlichkeitseigenschaften, Kompetenzen sowie die vielfältigen Einflussfaktoren analysiert. Denn weibliche Führungskräfte sehen sich sowohl hemmenden als auch förderlichen Einflussfaktoren gegenüber, weshalb Maßnahmen auf gesellschaftlich-struktureller, branchenspezifischer, organisationaler und individueller Ebene erforderlich sind, um den Frauenanteil in Führungspositionen zu erhöhen. Dieses Buch liefert dazu Handlungsempfehlungen.
Digitale Subjekte
Wie gehen junge Menschen mit den Herausforderungen der digitalen Medien um, wie verändern sich ihr Alltag und ihre Lebenswirklichkeiten? Im Kontext der gegenwärtigen gesellschaftlichen, medien- und technikbasierten Umbrüche bilden sich neue Subjektformen heraus. Anhand von Analysen der zentralen gesellschaftlichen Felder Arbeit, Lernen und Kommunikation zeigen die Beiträge dieses Bandes, welche neuen Praktiken - und damit auch neue Selbst- und Weltbilder - Subjekte im Umgang mit digitalen Medien entwickeln.
Handbuch Kognitionswissenschaft
Wann finden geistige Prozesse statt? Zum Beispiel, wenn wir emotional sind, uns erinnern oder träumen. Mit innovativen Beiträgen stellt das Handbuch kognitive Leistungen wie Erinnerung, Lernen, Planen, Wahrnehmung oder Sprache vor beim Menschen, aber auch im Hinblick auf künstliche Systeme wie Computer oder Roboter. Es beleuchtet die verschiedenen Modelle kognitiver Systeme, darunter das Computermodell des Geistes, neuronale Netze oder dynamische Systeme. Mit den Fächern Anthropologie, Informatik, Linguistik, Neurowissenschaft, Psychologie und Philosophie führt es in die Teildisziplinen der Kognitionswissenschaft ein.
