This book is a printed edition of the Special Issue "Advanced Hydroinformatic Techniques for the Simulation and Analysis of Water Supply and Distribution Systems" that was published in Water
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th European Conference on Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimization, EvoCOP 2012, held in Málaga, Spain, in April 2012, colocated with the Evo* 2012 events EuroGP, EvoBIO, EvoMUSART, and EvoApplications. . The 22 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 48 submissions. The papers present the latest research and discuss current developments and applications in metaheuristics - a paradigm to effectively solve difficult combinatorial optimization problems appearing in various industrial, economic, and scientific domains. Prominent examples of metaheuristics are evolutionary algorithms, simulated annealing, tabu search, scatter search, memetic algorithms, variable neighborhood search, iterated local search, greedy randomized adaptive search procedures, estimation of distribution algorithms, and ant colony optimization.
The book presents a remarkable collection of chapters covering a wide range of topics in the areas of intelligent systems and artificial intelligence, and their real-world applications. It gathers the proceedings of the Intelligent Systems Conference 2019, which attracted a total of 546 submissions from pioneering researchers, scientists, industrial engineers, and students from all around the world. These submissions underwent a double-blind peer-review process, after which 190 were selected for inclusion in these proceedings. As intelligent systems continue to replace and sometimes outperform human intelligence in decision-making processes, they have made it possible to tackle a host of pro...
The proliferation of powerful but cheap devices, together with the availability of a plethora of wireless technologies, has pushed for the spread of the Wireless Internet of Things (WIoT), which is typically much more heterogeneous, dynamic, and general-purpose if compared with the traditional IoT. The WIoT is characterized by the dynamic interaction of traditional infrastructure-side devices, e.g., sensors and actuators, provided by municipalities in Smart City infrastructures, and other portable and more opportunistic ones, such as mobile smartphones, opportunistically integrated to dynamically extend and enhance the WIoT environment. A key enabler of this vision is the advancement of soft...
A palavra "risco" é usada com mais do que um sentido em relação ao contrato de venda. O risco pode ser risco contratual, risco económico, risco de mercado, risco de preço, risco da prestação ou da contraprestação, mas também risco de perda, deterioração ou perecimento das mercadorias. De acordo com o que procuro defender, na venda internacional de mercadorias nem todos os detalhes relativos à transferência do risco são identificáveis com o olhar dirigido apenas a este contrato. Outros contratos, como o contrato de transporte, o contrato de seguro ou os créditos documentários permitem identificar um concreto risco no contrato de venda quando está em causa “transferência do risco” e delinear melhor o critério para a sua alocação. Um lapso de detalhe na criação do critério para a transferência do risco permitirá uma alocação ineficiente, com consequências desastrosas.
The scope of this book is to present the cornerstones of a modern transportation law embedded in a modern logistics and supply chain environment. For this purpose, internationally leading experts write contributions on specific topics of transportation law. The authors compare different legal approaches and present conceptually convincing answers. In addition, they discuss unsolved issues in transportation law. In a first step, the challenges and chances regarding the transformation of the transportation market will be illustrated. Subsequently, several key topics such as the basic principles in transportation law, regulative frameworks form digital freight documents and a look towards a modern logistics will be covered. In conclusion, the insights for a reform in Swiss transportation law reform are identified.
English summary: Variation orders enable one party to a contract to modify the contract's content after its conclusion without the involvement of the other party. Christoph Fischer's comparative analysis takes transportation law as an example and examines the existence of such orders, their limitations and the effects they have on remuneration. German description: Weisungsrechte stellen im Vertragsrecht eine Besonderheit dar, weil sie einer Vertragspartei die einseitige, nachtragliche Veranderung des Vertrages ermoglichen. Das Bedurfnis nach solchen Modifizierungsrechten ist oft dann besonders gross, wenn die Parteien im Moment des Vertragsschlusses ihre Interessen nicht abschliessend festle...
