Developing countries worldwide have been embarking on 'smart
cities' programmes using new technology solutions to improve public
services. Faced with severe problems of the digital divide,
poverty, unemployment, inequality, and financial and social
exclusion, these cities have to negotiate hard in order to reach
their goals. This book examines urban governance, digital divide,
poverty, unemployment, financial and social exclusion and presents
a theoretical perspective on inclusive cities, urbanization,
migration, slums and affordable housing. The book aims at
formulating and implementing an agenda for inclusive, equitable,
and sustainable urban development in tune with the UN-SDGs, the New
Urban Agenda of Habitat III, and India's new national urban
missions. It probes into the scope of adopting inclusionary urban
planning, zoning, and housing, financing inclusive city development
and poverty alleviation through municipal finance reforms using
findings and lessons from detailed field studies of Indian cities.
It also suggests an Agenda for Slum-free and Poverty-free cities in
an attempt to make these cities more people-focused, humane and
inclusionary. This book will be of interest to scholars and
researchers of political science, policy studies, public
administration, urban studies, urban planning and management, urban
sociology and geography, besides being of interest to policy
researchers, community workers, grass roots researchers, policy
makers, and sociologists.

workshops were on the following subjects models for interoperable
infrastructures, applications, privacy and access control,
reliability and performance, cloud and configuration management,
interoperability in (System-of-)Systems, distributed information
systems applications, architecture and process in distributed
information system, distributed information system development and

This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the following 8
International Workshops: OTM Academy; OTM Industry Case Studies
Program; Enterprise Integration, Interoperability, and Networking,
EI2N; International Workshop on Fact Based Modeling 2015, FBM;
Industrial and Business Applications of Semantic Web Technologies,
INBAST; Information Systems, om Distributed Environment, ISDE;
Methods, Evaluation, Tools and Applications for the Creation and
Consumption of Structured Data for the e-Society, META4eS; and
Mobile and Social Computing for collaborative interactions, MSC
2015. These workshops were held as associated events at OTM 2015,
the federated conferences "On The Move Towards Meaningful Internet
Systems and Ubiquitous Computing", in Rhodes, Greece, in October
2015. The 55 full papers presented together with 3 short papers and
2 popsters were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 100
submissions. The workshops share the distributed aspects of modern
computing systems, they experience the application pull created by
the Internet and by the so-called Semantic Web, in particular
developments of Big Data, increased importance of security issues,
and the globalization of mobile-based technologies.
As high cost of spray grade coating powders limits the adoption of
thermal spray techniques in industries, exploring low cost coating
materials has become the need of the hour. This book is an
exploration onto the coating potential of such a novel and cheap
material called Red Mud that does not belong to the so called
plasma sprayable category. Red mud is the major waste generated
during the production of alumina from bauxite and it comprises of
oxides of iron, titanium, aluminium and silica along with some
other minor constituents. Plasma is used for deposition of red mud
coatings on metal substrates. Plasma spray coating is a technique
that combines particle melting, rapid solidification and
consolidation in a single process. This book gives a detailed
account of all these.
This book models the default probabilities and credit spreads for
select Indian firms in the Black-Scholes-Merton framework.In
particular, it shows that the objective (or 'real') probability
estimates are higher than the risk-neutral estimates over the
sample period. However, the probability measure is found to be
robust to the 'default trigger point'. The model output also
compares favorably with the default rate reported by CRISIL's
Average 1-year rating transitions as well as the Altman Z-score
measure. However it does not generate spreads as high as those
observed in the corporate bond market. Perhaps not surprisingly,
this is consistent with the received literature on credit spreads.
This book is meant for Credit Analysts and Officers of the Credit
Risk Management Department of banks and financial institutions who
are concerned with designing and developing internal credit rating
models, pricing models and credit portfolio models as well as
students of Finanace and those teaching Risk Management.
