Robotic Sailing
While sailing has a long tradition, both as a means of transportation and as a sport, robotic sailing is a fairly new area of research. One of its unique characteristics is the use of wind for propulsion. On the one hand, this allows for long range and long term autonomy. On the other hand, the dependency on changing winds presents a serious challenge for short and long term planning, collision avoidance, and boat control. Moreover, building a robust and seaworthy sailing robot is no simple task, leading to a truly interdisciplinary engineering problem. These proceedings summarize the state of the art as presented at the International Robotic Sailing Conference 2011. Following an overview of the history of autonomous sailing a number of recent boat designs is presented, ranging from small one-design boats to vessels built to cross the Atlantic Ocean. Subsequently, various aspects of system design and validation are discussed, further highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of the field. Finally, methods for collision avoidance, localization and route planning are covered.
Feature Extraction and Image Processing for Computer Vision
Feature Extraction and Image Processing for Computer Vision is an essential guide to the implementation of image processing and computer vision techniques, with tutorial introductions and sample code in Matlab. Algorithms are presented and fully explained to enable complete understanding of the methods and techniques demonstrated. As one reviewer noted, "The main strength of the proposed book is the exemplar code of the algorithms." Fully updated with the latest developments in feature extraction, including expanded tutorials and new techniques, this new edition contains extensive new material on Haar wavelets, Viola-Jones, bilateral filtering, SURF, PCA-SIFT, moving object detection and tra...
Verification, Model Checking, and Abstract Interpretation
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Verification, Model Checking, and Abstract Interpretation, VMCAI 2019, held in Cascais, Portugal, in January 2019.The 27 full papers presented together with the abstracts of 3 invited keynote talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 62 submissions. VMCAI provides topics including: program verification, model checking, abstract interpretation, program synthesis, static analysis, type systems, deductive methods, program certification, decision procedures, theorem proving, program certification, debugging techniques, program transformation, optimization, and hybrid and cyber-physical systems.
New World Immigrants
A consolidation of the many articles regarding ship passenger lists previously published.
Bach's Famous Choir
In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the cantors of the St. Thomas School and Church in Leipzig could be counted among the most significant German composers of their times. But what attracted these artists - from Seth Calvisius to J.S. Bach to Johann Adam Hiller - to the music school and choir and inspired them to explore new repertoire of the highest standing? And how did the cantors influence the musical profile of the school - a profile that often became a bone of contention between school and city hall? The success of the St. Thomas School was not a foregone conclusion; its history is replete with challenges and setbacks as well as triumphs. The school was caught between the conf...

Das Management und die Behebung von Krisen in der Luftfracht
Die Atomkatastrophe von Fukushima, der SARS-Virus oder politische Spannungen haben die Verletzlichkeit und die Grenzen der Belastbarkeit der globalen Transportsysteme offengelegt. Insbesondere auf die Luftfracht wirken sich diese exogenen Schocks erheblich aus. Im Krisenfall können Airlines, Flughäfen, Luftfrachtspeditionen usw. ihre Ressourcen nicht oder nur begrenzt verwenden. Beispielsweise kann ein Flughafen bedingt durch Brände, Anschläge, IT-Ausfälle usw. nicht angeflogen werden. Strecken oder ganze Gebiete eines Flugnetzes können aufgrund von Wetterkatastrophen oder Personalstreiks nicht nutzbar sein. Der Grund für die Wahl des kostenintensiven Lufttransports besteht vor allem darin, dass Güter besonders schnell, sicher oder über weite Strecken transportiert werden müssen. Doch wie reagieren die Entscheidungsträger in Luftfrachtspeditionen, wenn nun das Transportmittel der Wahl nicht mehr verfügbar ist? Welche Handlungsmöglichkeiten haben Luftfrachtunternehmen im Krisenfall? Nach einer ausführlichen Literaturrecherche werden die Ergebnisse einer Expertenbefragung aufgezeigt. Ein Krisenszenario wird modelliert und eine mögliche Krisenbewältigung simuliert.
