Order Stars - Theory and Applications (Hardcover, Softcover Repri): A. Iserles, S.P. Norsett Order Stars - Theory and Applications (Hardcover, Softcover Repri)

Order stars is a recently developed technique to analyze and explain the behaviour of numerical methods. The main idea is to explore different features of numerical algorithms as properties of analytical functions in various portions of the complex plane. Thus, for example, the order of some numerical methods for ordinary differential equations can be translated to the language of approximation theory - specifically, to the question of how well a given rational function R approximates the exponential. Likewise, stability properties of the underlying method can be expressed as some other features of the function R. In this formulation, order stars establish the relationship between order and stability, helping in the search for better and more efficient computational algorithms.

Although GIS has been in existence for over 20 years, the systems have only recently matured to the point where they have become accessible to geographers, planners, environmental scientists and others as an affordable and practical tool for spatial analysis. Much of the GIS literature is scattered over the journals and technical reports of a number of disciplines. These sources are often not widely available especially to the newcomer to the field. This text was assembled to bring together what we believe is a balanced sampling of written works that cover important aspects of the basic principles involved in GIS, as well as to provide some examples of GIS applications.

Technology - New Trajectories in Law (Paperback): Penny Crofts, Honni Van Rijswijk Technology - New Trajectories in Law (Paperback)
Penny Crofts, Honni Van Rijswijk
R567 Discovery Miles 5 670 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Placing contemporary technological developments in their historical context, this book argues for the importance of law in their regulation. Technological developments are focused upon overcoming physical and human constraints. There are no normative constraints inherent in the quest for ongoing and future technological development. In contrast, law proffers an essential normative constraint. Just because we can do something, does not mean that we should. Through the application of critical legal theory and jurisprudence to pro-actively engage with technology, this book demonstrates why legal thinking should be prioritised in emerging technological futures. This book articulates classic skills and values such as ethics and justice to ensure that future and ongoing legal engagements with socio-technological developments are tempered by legal normative constraints. Encouraging them to foreground questions of justice and critique when thinking about law and technology, the book addresses law students and teachers, lawyers and critical thinkers concerned with the proliferation of technology in our lives.

A new era of complexity science is emerging, in which nature- and bio-inspired principles are being applied to provide solutions. At the same time, the complexity of systems is increasing due to such models like the Internet of Things (IoT) and fog computing. Will complexity science, applying the principles of nature, be able to tackle the challenges posed by highly complex networked systems? Bio-Inspired Optimization in Fog and Edge Computing: Principles, Algorithms, and Systems is an attempt to answer this question. It presents innovative, bio-inspired solutions for fog and edge computing and highlights the role of machine learning and informatics. Nature- or biological-inspired techniques are successful tools to understand and analyze a collective behavior. As this book demonstrates, algorithms, and mechanisms of self-organization of complex natural systems have been used to solve optimization problems, particularly in complex systems that are adaptive, ever-evolving, and distributed in nature. The chapters look at ways of enhancingto enhance the performance of fog networks in real-world applications using nature-based optimization techniques. They discuss challenges and provide solutions to the concerns of security, privacy, and power consumption in cloud data center nodes and fog computing networks. The book also examines how: The existing fog and edge architecture is used to provide solutions to future challenges. A geographical information system (GIS) can be used with fog computing to help users in an urban region access prime healthcare. An optimization framework helps in cloud resource management. Fog computing can improve the quality, quantity, long-term viability, and cost-effectiveness in agricultural production. Virtualization can support fog computing, increase resources to be allocated, and be applied to different network layers. The combination of fog computing and IoT or cloud computing can help healthcare workers predict and analyze diseases in patients.
