Advances in Heuristic Signal Processing and ApplicationsThere have been significant developments in the design and application of algorithms for both one-dimensional signal processing and multidi-mensional signal processing, namely image and video processing, with the recent focus changing from a step-by-step procedure of designing the algorithm first and following up with in-depth analysis and performance improvement to instead applying heuristic-based methods to solve signal-processing problems. In this book the contribut-ing authors demonstrate both general-purpose algorithms and those aimed at solving specialized application problems, with a special emphasis on heuristic iterative optimization methods employ-ing modern evolutionary and swarm intelligence based techniques.

Enterprise Architecture PatternsPractical Solutions for Recurring IT‑Architecture Problems

Every enterprise architect faces similar problems when designing and governing the enterprise ar-chitecture of a medium to large enterprise. Design patterns are a well-established concept in software engineering, used to define universally applicable solution schemes. By applying this approach to enterprise architectures, recurring problems in the design and implementation of enterprise architectures can be solved over all layers, from the business layer to the application and data layer down to the technology layer. Inversini and Perroud describe patterns at the level of enterprise architecture, which they refer to as Enterprise Architecture Patterns.

Robotized Transcranial Magnetic StimulationRobotized Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation describes the methods needed to develop a robotic system that is clinically applicable for the applica-tion of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Chapter 1 introduces the basic principles of TMS and discusses current developments towards ro-botized TMS. Part I (Chapters 2 and 3) systemati-cally analyzes and clinically evaluates robotized TMS. More specifically, it presents the impact of head motion on the induced electric field. In Part II (Chapters 3 to 8), a new method for a robust robot/camera calibration, a sophisticated force-torque control with hand-assisted positioning, a novel FTA-sensor for system safety, and tech-niques for direct head tracking, are described and evaluated. Part III discusses these developments in the context of safety and clinical applicability of robotized TMS and presents future prospects of robotized TMS.

Abstraction in Artificial Intelligence and Complex SystemsAbstraction is a fundamental mechanism un-derlying both human and artificial perception, representation of knowledge, reasoning and learn-ing. This mechanism plays a crucial role in many disciplines, notably Computer Programming, Natural and Artificial Vision, Complex Systems, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Art, and Cognitive Sciences. This book first provides the reader with an overview of the notions of abstraction proposed in various disciplines by comparing both commonalities and differences. After discussing the characterizing properties of abstraction, a formal model, the KRA model, is presented to capture them.

Model-based Health Monitoring of Hybrid SystemsThis book systematically presents a comprehensive framework and effective techniques for in-depth analysis, clear design procedure, and efficient implementation of diagnosis and prognosis algo-rithms for hybrid systems. It offers an overview of the fundamentals of diagnosis\prognosis and hybrid bond graph modeling. This book also de-scribes hybrid bond graph-based quantitative fault detection, isolation and estimation. Moreover, it also presents strategies to track the system mode and predict the remaining useful life under mul-tiple fault condition. A real world complex hybrid system—a vehicle steering control system—is studied using the developed fault diagnosis meth-ods to show practical significance.

In Search of Better Governance in South Asia and BeyondThe pursuit for better governance has assumed center stage in developmental discourse as well as reform initiatives of all organizations working for the public welfare, and includes such issues as service delivery and responding to citizens’ needs and demands. In the era of globalization, multilevel and new modes of governance are changing the traditional governance models of nation states, accelerated by technological innova-tion, rising citizen expectation, policy intervention from international and multilateral donor com-munities, and the hegemony of western ideology imposed on many developing nations. However, a universally accepted and agreed upon definition of ‘governance’ still remains elusive.

Corporate PerformanceA Ratio‑Based Approach to Country and Industry Analyses

This book presents the comparative evaluation of international and industrial factors affecting the financial condition of enterprises. In the theoreti-cal part, the results of previous research on the oc-currence of the country and industry effect in the financial health of companies are reviewed. The aim of the empirical study is to determine such factors – national or industrial ones – that have a greater impact on the corporate performance in the selected European Union countries. Corporate performance is measured and described with the use of a large set of fundamental ratios. Corporate performance is therefore treated as a more com-plex matter influenced by such aspects as profit-ability, liquidity, working capital and solvency.

Soulful CorporationsA Values‑Based Perspective on Corporate Social Responsibility

Corporate debacles, financial and economic crises and environmental disasters in different parts of the globe over the last two decades are seen as in-dicators for a transformation in business conduct by scholars and practitioners alike. A need for corporate goals to move on from simply maximiz-ing shareholder profit to optimizing stakeholder welfare is being echoed in various quarters. Upon this backdrop, this book shows how Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) can be a means for global unity and universal welfare and how corpo-rations, as associations of individuals, can identify their ‘collective spirits’ in terms of environmentally aware, socially responsible and financially reward-ing missions and goals.

Structural Additive Theory Nestled between number theory, combinatorics, algebra and analysis lies a rapidly developing sub-ject in mathematics variously known as additive combinatorics, additive number theory, additive group theory, and combinatorial number theory. Its main objects of study are not abelian groups themselves, but rather the additive structure of subsets and subsequences of an abelian group, i.e., sumsets and subsequence sums. This text is a hy-brid of a research monograph and an introductory graduate textbook. With few exceptions, all results presented are self-contained, written in great detail, and only reliant upon material covered in an advanced undergraduate curriculum supple-mented with some additional Algebra, rendering this book usable as an entry-level text. However, it will perhaps be of even more interest to research-ers already in the field. The majority of material is not found in book form and includes many new results as well.

The Mathematical Structure of Classical and Relativistic PhysicsA General Classification Diagram

The theories describing seemingly unrelated areas of physics have surprising analogies that have aroused the curiosity of scientists and motivated efforts to identify reasons for their existence. Comparative study of physical theories has revealed the presence of a common topologi-cal and geometric structure. The Mathematical Structure of Classical and Relativistic Physics is the first book to analyze this structure in depth, thereby exposing the relationship between (a) global physical variables and (b) space and time elements such as points, lines, surfaces, instants, and intervals.

Quantile-Based Reliability AnalysisThis book provides a fresh approach to reliability theory, an area that has gained increasing rel-evance in fields from statistics and engineering to demography and insurance. Its innovative use of quantile functions gives an analysis of lifetime data that is generally simpler, more robust, and more accurate than the traditional methods, and opens the door for further research in a wide variety of fields involving statistical analysis. In addition, the book can be used to good effect in the classroom as a text for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in Reliability and Statistics.
