During the overall development of complex engineering systems different modeling notations are employed. For example, in the domain of automotive systems system engineering models are employed quite early to capture the requirements and basic structuring of the entire system, while software engineering models are used later on to describe the concrete software architecture. Each model helps in addressing the specific design issue with appropriate notations and at a suitable level of abstraction. However, when we step forward from system design to the software design, the engineers have to ensure that all decisions captured in the system design model are correctly transferred to the software ...
Traditionally, research on model-driven engineering (MDE) has mainly focused on the use of models at the design, implementation, and verification stages of development. This work has produced relatively mature techniques and tools that are currently being used in industry and academia. However, software models also have the potential to be used at runtime, to monitor and verify particular aspects of runtime behavior, and to implement self-* capabilities (e.g., adaptation technologies used in self-healing, self-managing, self-optimizing systems). A key benefit of using models at runtime is that they can provide a richer semantic base for runtime decision-making related to runtime system conce...
This book proposes a holistic transdisciplinary approach to sustainability as a subject of social sciences. At the same time, this approach shows new ways, as perspectives of philosophy, political science, law, economics, sociology, cultural studies and others are here no longer regarded separately. Instead, integrated perspectives on the key issues are carved out: Perspectives on conditions of transformation to sustainability, on key instruments and the normative questions. This allows for a concise answer to urgent and controversial questions such as the following: Is the EU an environmental pioneer? Is it possible to achieve sustainability by purely technical means? If not: will that mean...
Traditionally, citizenship has been defined as the legal and political link between individuals and their democratic political community. However, traditional conceptions of democratic citizenship are currently challenged by various developments like migration, the rise of populism, increasing polarization, social fragmentation, and the challenging of representative democracy as well as developments in digital communication technology. Against this background, this peer reviewed book reflects recent conceptions of citizenship by bringing together insights from different disciplines, such as political science, sociology, economics, law, and history.
Around the world, tourists are drawn to visit murals painted on walls. Whether heritage asset, legacy leftover, or contested art space, the mural is more than a simple tourist attraction or accidental aspect of tourism material culture. They express something about the politics, heritage and identity of the locations being visited, whether a medieval fresco in an Italian church, or modern political art found in Belfast or Tehran. This interdisciplinary and highly international book explores tourism around murals that are either evolving or have transitioned as instruments of politics, heritage and identity. It explores the diverse messaging of these murals: their production, interpretation, marketing and – in some cases – destruction. It argues that the mural is more than a simple tourist attraction or accidental aspect of tourism material culture. Murals and Tourism will be valuable reading for those interested in cultural geography, tourism, heritage studies and the visual arts.

Der Autor untersucht umfassend die Rechtsetzungs-, Verwaltungs- und Ertragshoheit der EG in bezug auf Umweltabgaben. Ausgehend von einer EG-eigenen Abgabentypologie wird der Umfang der entsprechenden autonomen Rechtsetzungskompetenzen der EG untersucht. Zur Abgrenzung der einschlägigen Kompetenzgrundlagen wird ein materielles Kriterium entwickelt, das eine angemessene Berücksichtigung des großen Gestaltungsspielraumes bei Umweltabgaben ermöglicht und zu einer einheitlichen Anwendung der Kompetenzgrundlagen mit Einstimmigkeitsregel im Rat führt. Des weiteren werden die Grenzen einer EG-Abgabenverwaltungshoheit, insbesondere für parafiskalische Einrichtungen, und der Übernahme der Finan...
Dieser Band rekonstruiert vier verschiedenartige Korrespondenzen Birkens: Der junge Nürnberger Magnus Daniel Omeis tritt von Anfang an recht selbstbewusst auf, plant alle Schritte auf den Erfolg hin und sucht Birkens Beratung. Als Universitätsprofessor in Altdorf wächst er gar in die Rolle des Führenden hinein. Joachim Heinrich Hagen aus Bayreuth beginnt den Kontakt als demütiger Bittsteller, der Birken die für seine Laufbahn wichtigen Dichtungen und Reden zur Begutachtung und Korrektur vorlegt. Auch als Gymnasialprofessor verharrt er in der Rolle des lebenslang zu Dank Verpflichteten. Der Regensburger Sebastian Seelmann, den Birken zum Dichter gekrönt und später zum Notar ernannt ha...
