Location-Based Services (LBS) are the delivery of data and information services where the content of those services is tailored to the current location and context of a mobile user. This is a new and fast-growing technology sector incorporating GIS, wireless technologies, positioning systems and mobile human-computer interaction. Geo-Information (GI) Engineering is the design of dependably engineered solutions to society's use of geographical information and underpins applications such as LBS. These are brought together in this comprehensive text that takes the reader through from source data to product delivery.

This book will appeal to professionals and researchers in the areas of GIS, mobile telecommunications services and LBS. It provides a comprehensive view and in-depth knowledge for academia and industry alike. It serves as essential reading and an excellent resource for final year undergraduate and postgraduate students in GIScience, Geography, Mobile Computing or Information Systems who wish to develop their understanding of LBS.

The biennial International Workshop on Coding and Cryptology (IWCC) aims to bring together many of the world's greatest minds in coding and crypt- ogy to share ideas and exchange knowledge related to advancements in c- ing and cryptology, amidst an informal setting conducive for interaction and collaboration. It is well known that fascinating connections exist between coding and cr- tology. Therefore this workshop series was organized to facilitate a fruitful - teraction and stimulating discourse among experts from these two areas. The inaugural IWCC was held at Wuyi Mountain, Fujian Province, China, during June 11-15, 2007 and attracted over 80 participants. Following this s- cess, the second IWCC was held June 1-5, 2009 at Zhangjiajie, Hunan Province, China. Zhangjiajie is one of the most scenic areas in China. The proceedings of this workshop consist of 21 technical papers, covering a wide range of topics in coding and cryptology, as well as related ?elds such as combinatorics. All papers, except one, are contributed by the invited speakers of the workshop and each paper has been carefully reviewed. We are grateful to the external reviewers for their help, which has greatly strengthened the quality of the proceedings. IWCC 2009 was co-organizedby the National University of Defense Techn- ogy (NUDT), China and Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. We acknowledge with gratitude the ?nancial support from NUDT. We wouldliketo expressourthanks to Springer formaking it possible forthe proceedings to be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.

The Routledge Course in Chinese Media Literacy is aimed at lower advanced level students of Mandarin who wish to build media literacy in the Chinese language. The book is written by university professors who have hands-on experience as media professionals. It gathers newsworthy authentic materials on topics covered by reporters on a day-to-day basis, and makes them accessible through prereading exercises, grammatical analysis, vocabulary associations, and research training for language learners. From front page headlines to business, education, crime, and sports and entertainment, the student reader will be exposed to the full scope of news coverage and become familiar with their presentation in a Chinese context. A companion website with audio, video, accompanying materials and a traditional Chinese edition is available at www.routledge.com/cw/li.

Dieser Band fuhrt 16 Aufsatze von Herbert Breger zusammen, die um Leibniz' Arbeiten zur Mathematik und Physik und ihre philosophischen Voraussetzungen kreisen. Drei interessante und ungewoehnliche Aspekte stehen hierbei im Vordergrund: Kontinuum, Analysis und Informales. Leibniz' Kontinuum und seine Analysis sind gerade wegen ihres Unterschieds zur heutigen Mathematik interessant. Anhand zahlreicher Beispiele wird ferner die Frage nach dem Verhaltnis zwischen der mathematischen Rationalitat und der Kunst gestellt und die nach den engen Beziehungen zwischen Mathematik und Philosophie bei Leibniz eroertert. Es wird gezeigt, dass der Leibniz zugeschriebene Brief zum Prinzip der kleinsten Wirkung, der Anlass zu einem Streit zwischen Maupertuis, Samuel Koenig und Voltaire wurde, eine Falschung war. Das Buch erscheint im Leibniz-Jahr 2016, in dem auch der X. Leibniz-Kongress stattfindet.

"Es hat wohl kein Mensch soviel gelesen und studiert, mehr nachgedacht und geschrieben als Leibniz. Und dennoch gibt es keine Gesamtausgabe seiner Werke." Seit dieser Klage des franzoesischen Aufklarers Denis Diderot versuchen Generationen von Gelehrten, den grossen, etwa 200.000 Blatt umfassenden Nachlass des Universalgelehrten Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz editorisch zu erschliessen und der Forschung zuganglich zu machen. Die groesste ihrer Art ist die aus acht Reihen bestehende so genannte Akademieausgabe, die inzwischen von der Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Goettingen und der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften gemeinsam betreut wird. 52 Bande sind bisher erschienen. Schon langst gilt diese Ausgabe als Mutter vieler nationalsprachiger Editionen - chinesischer, japanischer, spanischer sowie des "Yale Leibniz". Die Editionsstellen in Berlin, Hannover, Munster und Potsdam sind zugleich Ansprechpartner internationaler Leibniz-Forschung. Unter Leitung von Wenchao Li, Leibniz-Stiftungsprofessor an der Leibniz Universitat Hannover, fand im Dezember 2011 in Hannover erstmals eine internationale Tagung statt, die sich spezifisch mit der Tradition, Bedeutung und Herausforderung der Leibniz-Edition auseinandersetzte. Die Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer kamen aus Japan, Frankreich, Russland, Spanien, Italien, den USA und Deutschland.

Der Begriff des Politischen wurde von den Herausgebern der historisch-kritischen Akademieausgabe fur diese Reihe der Edition weit gefasst, er umschliesst neben Werken, Abhandlungen und Aufzeichnungen, in denen sich Leibniz zu Fragen und Ereignissen des Staatslebens seiner Zeit aussert, alle Arbeiten zur Forderung der wirtschaftlichen und geistigen Kultur, soweit die Mitwirkung des Staates vorausgesetzt wird oder doch der praktische Zweck und nicht die wissenschaftliche Erorterung im Vordergrund steht. Je weiter die Edition voranschreitet, um so deutlicher tritt in einer Reihe von "politischen" Themen, d. h. von Erorterungen uber das Wohl der res publica, ein unloslicher Zusammenhang zwischen wissenschaftlicher Erorterung und praktischen Zwecken zutage, dienen doch beide dem bonum commune, dem allgemeinen Besten, und verfehlen es beide, wenn sie sich voneinander losen. Der jetzt vorgelegte Band enthalt Texte zum Rechts- und Staatswesen, zur dynastischen Politik des Hauses Braunschweig-Luneburg und zur Neunten Kur. Leibniz schreibt uber das Postrecht des Kaisers und allgemein zum Postwesen, setzt sich mit den historischen und rechtsphilosophischen Schriften von Pufendorf ebenso auseinander wie mit den Schriften von Thomasius. Anlasslich der Konigswahl 1697 befasst er sich ausfuhrlich mit Polen. Daneben tritt Russland im Zeitraum dieses Bandes neu in das Blickfeld des politischen Autors Leibniz, u. a. mit einer Denkschrift fur Zar Peter I. uber die Forderung der Wissenschaften und Kunste in Russland. Die beruhmten "Novissima Sinica," der Bericht uber das Neueste aus China von 1697, mit den Anlagen der Originalberichte und Dokumentationen gehoren ebenso zum Fundus dieses Bandes wie Texte zur Gesundheitspolitik und einige Gedichte von Leibniz."
