This book explores in theory and practice how artificial
intelligence (AI) intersects with and alters the city. Drawing upon
a range of urban disciplines and case studies, the chapters reveal
the multitude of repercussions that AI is having on urban society,
urban infrastructure, urban governance, urban planning and urban
sustainability. Contributors examine how the city, far from being a
passive recipient of new technologies, is influencing and reframing
AI through subtle processes of co-constitution. The book advances
three main contributions and arguments: First, it provides
empirical evidence of the emergence of a post-smart trajectory for
cities in which new material and decision-making capabilities are
being assembled through multiple AIs. Second, it stresses the
importance of understanding the mutually constitutive relations
between the new experiences enabled by AI technology and the urban
context. Third, it engages with the concepts required to clarify
the opaque relations that exist between AI and the city, as well as
how to make sense of these relations from a theoretical
perspective. Artificial Intelligence and the City offers a
state-of-the-art analysis and review of AI urbanism, from its roots
to its global emergence. It cuts across several disciplines and
will be a useful resource for undergraduates and postgraduates in
the fields of urban studies, urban planning, geography,
architecture, urban design, science and technology, sociology and
politics.

This volume constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the
22nd IFIP WG 1.5International Workshop on Cellular Automata and
Discrete ComplexSystems, AUTOMATA 2016, held in Zurich,
Switzerland, in June 2016. This volume contains 3 invited talks in
full-paper length and 12 regularpapers, which were carefully
reviewed and selected from a total of 23submissions. The papers
feature research on all fundamental aspects of cellular automata
and related discrete complex systems and deal with the following
topics: dynamical, topological, ergodic and algebraic aspects;
algorithmic and complexity issues; emergent properties; formal
language processing; symbolic dynamics; models of parallelism and
distributed systems; timing schemes; phenomenological descriptions;
scientific modeling; and practical applications.

1861. Now first published from a manuscript in the British Museum,
dating somewhere in the latter portion of the 15th century. This
work is not put forward as entirely new to Freemasons. Various
versions of the history and articles are found in public libraries
and in print. Much that occurs in these pages has been long
obsolete; still, the principles of the Craft in those early days
are mainly still our own at present time; and if this little book
induces any brother Mason to take up the search for like valuable
testimonies to the antiquity of the Order, the labors of such will
be nowhere more warmly hailed than by the Editor.
As the church in the global south continues to grow at a rapid
pace, the question of how to develop local theologies becomes more
and more urgent. This book charts a path forward through
exegetical, theological and cultural analysis by scholars who are
wrestling with the issues in their own situations around the globe.
The contents were developed under the auspices of the World
Evangelical Alliance Theological Commission at the Oxford
contextualization consultation. This book was published in
partnership with the World Evangelical Alliance.
