Mobile Agents
Mobile agents are intelligent agents with advanced mobility capabilities. A mobile agent must be provided with the so called strong mobility, a feature which allows it to carry its status with it and accomplish its mission by migrating from site to site in the Internet. A mobile agent can complete in a site what it started in another site.Starting from the mobile agent concept, this book provides the reader with a suitably detailed discussion on mobile agent principles of operation, as for instance, migration, communication, co-ordination, interoperability, fault tolerance and security. As an example of mobile agents application fields, this book discusses how they can be effective in implementing data mining and information retrieval systems.
Human-Computer Interaction. Design and User Experience
The three-volume set LNCS 12181, 12182, and 12183 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Human Computer Interaction thematic area of the 22nd International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, HCII 2020, which took place in Copenhagen, Denmark, in July 2020.* A total of 1439 papers and 238 posters have been accepted for publication in the HCII 2020 proceedings from a total of 6326 submissions. The 145 papers included in this HCI 2020 proceedings were organized in topical sections as follows: Part I: design theory, methods and practice in HCI; understanding users; usability, user experience and quality; and images, visualization and aesthetics in HCI. Part II: gesture-based interaction; speech, voice, conversation and emotions; multimodal interaction; and human robot interaction. Part III: HCI for well-being and Eudaimonia; learning, culture and creativity; human values, ethics, transparency and trust; and HCI in complex environments. *The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Understanding Emergent Urbanism
The ideas presented in this book are a conceptual leverage to correct the rigidity of top-down practices and bring the real city, or the city of everyday life, closer to the city of conventional planning. Considering self-organization as the starting point at the base of complex systems, this book tries to understand how specific qualities emerge and evolve from this behavior. For this, the book discusses new ways of looking at and understanding cities by applying holistic methods and approaches based on the conceptual grounds of quantum, fractal, and complexity theories. The book highlights the fact that the information on how to transform and build a city is contained within the city itsel...
Contemporary Perspectives on Architectural Organicism
This project is born out of similar questions and discussions on the topic of organicism emergent from two critical strands regarding the discourse of organic self-generation: one dealing with the problem of stopping in the design processes in history, and the other with the organic legacy of style in the nineteenth century as a preeminent form of aesthetic ideology. The epistemologies of self-generation outlined by enlightenment and critical philosophy provided the model for the discursive formations of modern urban planning and architecture. The form of the organism was thought to calibrate modernism’s infinite extension. The architectural organicism of today does not take on the languag...

Words Against Words
Words Against Words is the first book to consider the philosophical works of Carlo Michelstaedter (1887-1910) from a stylistic point of view. It focuses on the links between poetic and rhetoric in Michelstaedter’s major work, La Persuasione e la Rettorica, well known for its original multilingualism, embodiment of subgenres, dialogues, apologues and parables, technical jargons. In the context of the early twentieth century ‘crisis of language’ in Central Europe, Carlo Michelstaedter, a young Italian speaking Jew from Gorizia who left the Austro-Hungarian territory to study in Florence, articulates one of the most radical examples of ‘negative thought’, while at the same time strugg...
The Routledge Companion to Contemporary European Theatre and Performance
This is a comprehensive overview of contemporary European theatre and performance as it enters the third decade of the twenty-first century. It combines critical discussions of key concepts, practitioners, and trends within theatre-making, both in particular countries and across borders, that are shaping European stage practice. With the geography, geopolitics, and cultural politics of Europe more unsettled than at any point in recent memory, this book’s combination of national and thematic coverage offers a balanced understanding of the continent’s theatre and performance cultures. Employing a range of methodologies and critical approaches across its three parts and ninety-four chapters...
La sceneggiatura delle scelte concrete: processi e metodi della ‰Û¬progettazione architettonica
"Sceneggiature delle scelte concrete" sintetizza la necessità di una scrittura pertinente alle modalità del pensiero progettuale, piuttosto che scritture letterarie, storico filologiche o giornalistiche con lo scopo di fornire dei "veri e propri dispositivi sintattici" per la comprensione e la trasmissione delle scelte strutturanti il progetto di architettura. Nati nel seminario di dottorato tenuto dal professor Antonino Saggio a "Sapienza," gli scritti di Matteo Baldissara, Giulia Cervini, Micaela Didomenicantonio, Massimiliano Modena, Giulia Perugi, Samuel Quagliotto, Elisa Romano, Alessandro Zilio e dei curatori Valerio Perna e Gabriele Stancato e dello stesso Saggio divulgano metodi e processi di Louis Kahn, Herzog & De Meuron, Steve Holl, Sverre Fehn, Mies van der Rohe e Makoto Sei Watanabe attraverso opere significative realizzate in un arco temporale di quasi novanta anni, dai primi anni Venti del Novecento fino ai più recenti esperimenti dell'Information technology in architettura.
