Network Economics
This textbook on network economics provides essential microeconomic instruments for the analysis of network sectors like telecommunications, transport or energy. Network-specific characteristics emerge both on the cost side and benefit side, requiring network providers to develop innovative entrepreneurial competition strategies for costing, pricing, and investment. From a competition policy perspective, a number of interesting questions arise: In which parts of networks is competition functional? In contrast, where is an abuse of market power to be expected? What is the division of labor between cartel authorities and regulatory agencies? The book develops an analytical framework for all network industries which allows readers to study entrepreneurial strategies as well as regulation and competition policies for network industries.

Multimedia Cloud Computing Systems
The second generation of cloud computing systems, known as domain-specific clouds, are emerging based on application-specific processors and serverless computing paradigm. As multimedia streaming services are increasingly growing in popularity and diversity, this book is authored to introduce “multimedia clouds” as a domain-specific cloud that operates in the intersection of cloud computing technologies and digital media streaming. The book concentrates on the architectural aspects of multimedia clouds and describes development of high-level abstractions that will mitigate the burden of programmers, cloud architects, and system administrators. Multimedia clouds not only democratize multimedia streaming and add flexibility to the streaming services, they also help stream providers to offer robust and reliable streaming services in a cost- and energy-efficient manner.

Die Quellen des Zorns
Die Belagerung der "Festung Europa" durch illegale Einwanderung und die Reaktionen verschreckter Bürger darauf sind nur ein Beispiel für Auslöser des Volkszorns. Die Griechenland-Krise bzw. die europäische Finanzkrise, Terrorismus, Parallelgesellschaften in Europa und schwere Verstöße der USA und Russlands gegen das Völkerrecht: All das sind Quellen des Volkszorns. Die wachsende Schere zwischen Arm und Reich, der Trend zu mehr Überwachung, Vorratsdatenspeicherung, Einschränkungen der Presse- und Meinungsfreiheit kommen hinzu. Die Folgen sind eine alarmierende Wahlverweigerung, linke Protestbewegungen wie "Blockupy", die griechische Syriza und die spanische "Podemos", aber auch recht...
