Der Titel Workflow-based Integration sagt aus, dass der Ansatz fur die Integration die fachliche Anforderung ist, also der Geschaftsprozess, der durch eine zu - stimmende Technologie unterstutzt werden soll. Diese Unterstutzung umfasst nicht nur einen begrenzten Bereich des Geschaftsprozesses, sondern den kompl- ten Ablauf, z. B. von der Anfrage fur ein Darlehen uber seine Auszahlung bis zur abgeschlossenen Tilgung. Wahrend dieses Ablaufes werden unterschiedliche R- sourcen in Form von Mitarbeitern und Geraten (Hardware und Werkzeuge) be- tigt und mussen fur den reibungslosen Ablauf zur Verfugung gestellt werden. Die Entwicklung von prozessunterstutzenden Anwendungen wird immer komp- xer und aufwandiger. Hinzu kommt, dass die Projektbeteiligten oft schon beim Projektstart unterschiedlicher Auffassung uber Begriffe und deren Bedeutung sind. Dieses Buch soll dabei helfen, die Kommunikation zwischen den Projekt- teiligten zu verbessern, um gemeinsam die Ziele eines Projektes bestimmen zu konnen und diese zu erreichen. Zu Beginn des Buches erhalt der Leser Grundlagen uber die Themen, die fur eine erfolgreiche Durchfuhrung prozessorientierter Projekte notwendig sind. Diese Grundlagen umfassen einen Einblick in die Begriffsklarung, die Modellierung, die Dokumentation und die Technologie, mit der solche Prozesse beschrieben und umgesetzt werden konnen. Weiterhin wird ein Ausblick gewagt, welche zukunf- gen Technologien in Zusammenhang mit Workflow zu berucksichtigen sind. Ein Vorgehensmodell, welches im Anschluss vorgestellt wird, soll mit seinen T- plates einen Leitfaden fur die effektive Durchfuhrung von Workflow-Projekten darstellen."

We are facing a future of unbounded complexity. Whether that complexity is harnessed to build a world that is safe, pleasant, humane and profitable, or whether it causes us to careen off a cliff into an abyss of mind-numbing junk is an open question. The challenges and opportunities--technical, business, and human--that this technological sea change will bring are without precedent. Entire industries will be born and others will be laid to ruin as our society navigates this journey.

There are already many more computing devices in the world than there are people. In a few more years, their number will climb into the trillions. We put microprocessors into nearly every significant thing that we manufacture, and the cost of routine computing and storage is rapidly becoming negligible. We have literally permeated our world with computation. But more significant than mere numbers is the fact we are quickly figuring out how to make those processors communicate with each other, and with us. We are about to be faced, not with a trillion isolated devices, but with a "trillion-node network" a network whose scale and complexity will dwarf that of today's Internet. And, unlike the Internet, this will be a network not of computation that we "use," but of computation that we "live in."

Written by the leaders of one of America's leading pervasive computing design firms, this book gives a no-holds-barred insiders' account of both the promise and the risks of the age of Trillions. It is also a cautionary tale of the head-in-the-sand attitude with which many of today's thought-leaders are at present approaching these issues. "Trillions "is a field guide to the future--designed to help businesses and their customers prepare to prosper, "in" the information.

"The latest in parallel EM solutions with both in-core and out-of-core solvers"

The solution of complex electromagnetic (EM) problems requires one to address the issues related with numerical accuracy and efficient distribution of the solution procedure over multiple computational nodes. With the advent of multicore processors and high performance computing (HPC) technology, the EM software designers need to know how to add new functionality to computational EM codes so that they can run efficiently on these new processors.

"Higher Order Basis Based Integral Equation Solver HOBBIES]" presents a road map for the analysis of complex material structures using the high-performance parallel simulation software known as HOBBIES. Focusing on the Method of Moments (MoM), the book features new parallel programming techniques and user-friendly code with superior capabilities for solving challenging EM radiation and scattering problems. It provides readers with complete guidance on how to extend the capability of MoM and achieve faster and more accurate EM analysis and utilize multicore CPUs on desktop computers. Complete with an academic version of the HOBBIES software, this book: Explains the unique features of the higher order basis functions in the solution of integral equations in a MoM contextShows how to generate a properly load balanced parallel computational procedure for MoM matrix filling and matrix equation solving in both in-core and out-of-core implementationPresents a professional graphical users interface (GUI) for generating the geometrical structure based on NURBS modelingIllustrates various automatic meshing procedures based on an a-priori defined error between the actual geometry and the meshed structureOutlines all the key features of the HOBBIES software, including multiple optimization procedures for EM synthesis

The bottleneck of traditional MoM arises from the lack of memory in computers for solution of large problems. This is mitigated by using higher order basis functions and out-of-core solver in HOBBIES. HOBBIES has the capability to perform numerically accurate EM simulations using thousands of CPU cores in an HPC environment using a properly load balanced out-of-core solver. In this way, it provides a cost-effective choice for addressing modern engineering and scientific challenges that arise from the extremely complicated real-life applications.

By showcasing international, European, and community-based projects, this volume explores how online technologies and collaborative and blended learning can be used to bolster social cohesion and increase students' understanding of what it means to be a global citizen. With the pace of technology rapidly increasing, Blended and Online Learning for Global Citizenship draws timely attention to the global lessons being learned from the impact of these technologies on peace building, community development, and acceptance of difference. In-depth case studies showcasing successful projects in Europe, Northern Ireland, and Israel explore blended learning and illustrate how schools and educators have embraced online technologies to foster national and international links both within and beyond communities. This has, in turn, equipped students with experiences that have informed their attitudes to cultural and political conflicts, as well as racial, ethnic, and social diversity. Building on the authors' previous work Online Learning and Community Cohesion (2013), this thought-provoking text will be of interest to researchers, academics, and postgraduate students in the fields of international and comparative education. Educators and school leaders concerned with how multiculturalism and technology play out in the classroom environment will also benefit from reading this text.

The Internet of Things offers massive societal and economic opportunities while at the same time significant challenges, not least the delivery and management of the technical infrastructure underpinning it, the deluge of data generated from it, ensuring privacy and security, and capturing value from it. This Open Access Pivot explores these challenges, presenting the state of the art and future directions for research but also frameworks for making sense of this complex area. This book provides a variety of perspectives on how technology innovations such as fog, edge and dew computing, 5G networks, and distributed intelligence are making us rethink conventional cloud computing to support the Internet of Things. Much of this book focuses on technical aspects of the Internet of Things, however, clear methodologies for mapping the business value of the Internet of Things are still missing. We provide a value mapping framework for the Internet of Things to address this gap. While there is much hype about theInternet of Things, we have yet to reach the tipping point. As such, this book provides a timely entree for higher education educators, researchers and students, industry and policy makers on the technologies that promise to reshape how society interacts and operates.
