It covers all aspects of grid and pervasive computing and focuses on topics such as cluster computing, grid computing, semantic Web and semantic grid, service-oriented computing, peer-to-peer computing, mobile computing, as well as grid and pervasive related applications.
“Billionaires are a unique fraternity and bread of humans that have excelled in the workforce more productive and creative than the successful entrepreneur, where timing in business supersedes talent and determination, persistence and sheer guts have shadowed and outreached college degrees.” Currently, there are over 2300 billionaires on planet Earth and growing each and every year. These individuals think and act differently thus resulting in extreme capital collections along with owning about 30% of the sports teams and massive collections of art, sacred writings, and toys. The category of women Billionaires seems to be growing fast in the USA, China, and Hong Kong, where most of the w...
Computer vision, the science and technology of machines that see, has been a rapidly developing research area since the mid-1970s. It focuses on the understanding of digital input images in many forms, including video and 3-D range data. Graph-Based Methods in Computer Vision: Developments and Applications presents a sampling of the research issues related to applying graph-based methods in computer vision. These methods have been under-utilized in the past, but use must now be increased because of their ability to naturally and effectively represent image models and data. This publication explores current activity and future applications of this fascinating and ground-breaking topic.
Crossroads of Family Businesses in China: Succession and Transformation studies the intergenerational succession in family-owned businesses, specifically in the Chinese mainland. With the succession of family businesses over time, transformation is required as it needs to correspond to the world's development to successfully sustain the company. There is a multitude of factors that play their roles accordingly to perform a prosperous accession.Hence, this book highlights common issues such as the challenges for both succession and transformation of the company, the interest of the second generation, introducing the second generation to the business before fully passing on, family culture and...

In the past China’s capital market featured prevalent state ownership and a weak legal environment. It has, however, achieved very substantial development in the past two decades. China has surpassed Japan as the world’s second-largest stock market and has also emerged as a leading player in green bonds and Fintech markets. The chapters in this book provide insights on Chinese listed firms and advance the understanding of China’s unique institutions. Some important questions are covered including the governance role of foreign investors in partially privatized firms, the financial implications of political connections, the "Chinese model" of commercial banks and regulatory reforms that...
"This book presents, discusses, shares ideas, results and experiences on the recent important advances and future challenges on enabling technologies for achieving higher performance"--Provided by publisher.
This book presents the proceedings of 8th International Conference on Frontiers of Intelligent Computing: Theory and Applications (FICTA 2020), which aims to bring together researchers, scientists, engineers and practitioners to share new ideas and experiences in the domain of intelligent computing theories with prospective applications to various engineering disciplines.
