A Software Process Model Handbook for Incorporating People's
Capabilities offers the most advanced approach to date, empirically
validated at software development organizations. This handbook adds
a valuable contribution to the much-needed literature on
people-related aspects in software engineering. The primary focus
is on the particular challenge of extending software process
definitions to more explicitly address people-related
considerations.
The capability concept is not present nor has it been considered
in most software process models. The authors have developed a
capabilities-oriented software process model, which has been
formalized in UML and implemented as a tool. A Software Process
Model Handbook for Incorporating People's Capabilities guides
readers through the incorporation of the individual's capabilities
into the software process.
Structured to meet the needs of research scientists and
graduate-level students in computer science and engineering, this
book is also suitable for practitioners in industry.

This volume brings together current research and practical
innovations in the field of foreign language teaching. The
contributions are all by well-known experts in the area. More
specifically, the volume aims to give some comprehensive and
updated coverage of theory, research and practice in two of the
most challenging issues in today's English language teaching
scenarios: the development of L2 vocabulary knowledge and the
contribution of new corpus-based evidence to language teaching. The
first section of the volume presents a comprehensive overview of
relevant issues in the field of L2 vocabulary acquisition, where
surveys of the state of the art in the area combine with empirical
studies which approach the topic from the field of applied
linguistics (teaching techniques, material writing), as well as
from complementary disciplines such as semantics, phraseology and
lexicography. The second section of the book delves into the
pedagogical applications of current research in the field of
corpus-based studies. The papers collected here explore the
potential of new corpus evidence for the development of foreign
language learners' competence. The final section bridges the gap
between theory and practice by bringing together an intensely
practical collection of papers offering useful advice on how to
deal with vocabulary and/or corpora in the foreign language
classroom that are derived from teaching and research conducted at
the University of Granada (Spain) under the acronym ADELEX
(Assessing and Developing Lexis through New Technologies). Though
some papers involve reference to other languages such as French and
Spanish, this is essentially a study of corpus and lexical theory
as applied to contemporary English. The volume is backed up by an
independent, dedicated website maintained by the editors. While
web-based activities and vocabulary tests complement the printed
material for the entire volume, Section 3 From theory to
practiceA", provides systematic support.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 5th International
Conference on Decision Support Systems Technologies, ICDSST 2019,
held in Madeira, Portugal, in May 2019. This year the conference is
a EURO mini conference and therefore has a slightly different
acronym: "EmC-ICDSST 2019". The EWG-DSS series of International
Conference on Decision Support System Technology (ICDSST), starting
with ICDSST 2015 in Belgrade, was planned to consolidate the
tradition of annual events organized by the EWG-DSS in offering a
platform for European and international DSS communities, comprising
the academic and industrial sectors, to present state-of-the-art
DSS research and developments, to discuss current challenges that
surround decision-making processes, to exchange ideas about
realistic and innovative solutions, and to co-develop potential
business opportunities. The main topic of this year's conference
was "Main Developments and Future Trends". The 11 papers presented
in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 59
submissions. They were organized in topical sections named:
decision support systems in societal issues; decision support
systems in industrial and business applications; and advances in
decision support systems' methods and technologies.

During the current neoliberal economic times, a major paradigm
shift in urban planning occurred characterized by the emergence of
"urban megaprojects" as a dominant strategy in the construction of
Mexican cities. This work focuses on the megaproject of Santa Fe in
Mexico City, the largest urban development in Latin America, widely
decried as an insertion of a global urbanism imposed by
undemocratic means for the benefit of transnational capital. Santa
Fe was ambitioned as the most global place in the city. The
objective of this book is to examine the urban, political, and
cultural consequences of creating a physical space to be a global
service center. I would argue that the original aims of the project
of attracting global capital are being only partially achieved;
instead the megaproject is resulting in increased spatial
segregation, spatial exclusion, gentrification, and privatization
of the city space. The process of implementing urban megaprojects
at first appears to be omnipotent and unidirectional. However, I
hypothesize that these projects are highly contested by supposedly
powerless voices, and are thus continuously renegotiated and
reframed.
