This book presents the outcome of the European project "SERENA",
involving fourteen partners as international academics,
technological companies, and industrial factories, addressing the
design and development of a plug-n-play end-to-end cloud
architecture, and enabling predictive maintenance of industrial
equipment to be easily exploitable by small and medium
manufacturing companies with a very limited data analytics
experience. Perspectives and new opportunities to address open
issues on predictive maintenance conclude the book with some
interesting suggestions of future research directions to continue
the growth of the manufacturing intelligence.

This is the first volume of critical essays devoted to the work of
Trevor Joyce, one of the Republic of Ireland's most innovative
poets of the past 50 years. Contributions from: Lucy Collins, Eric
Falci, Fergal Gaynor, John Goodby, Fanny Howe, David Lloyd, Peter
Manson, Niamh O'Mahony, Marthine Satris, Geoffrey Squires, Keith
Tuma and Jeffrey Twitchell-Waas. The book appears in tandem with a
major retrospective volume: Joyce's Selected Poems 1967-2014.
In this volume we witness Wittgenstein in the act of composing and
experimenting with his new visions in philosophy. The book includes
key explanations of the origin and background of these previously
unknown manuscripts. It investigates how Wittgenstein's
philosophical thought-processes are revealed in his dictation to,
as well as his editing and revision with Francis Skinner, in the
latter's role of amanuensis. The book displays a considerable
wealth and variety of Wittgenstein's fundamental experiments in
philosophy across a wide array of subjects that include the mind,
pure and applied mathematics, metaphysics, the identities of
ordinary and creative language, as well as intractable problems in
logic and life. He also periodically engages with the work of
Newton, Fermat, Russell and others. The book shows Wittgenstein
strongly battling against the limits of understanding and the
bewitchment of institutional and linguistic customs. The reader is
drawn in by Wittgenstein as he urges us to join him in his
struggles to equip us with skills, so that we can embark on
devising new pathways beyond confusion. This collection of
manuscripts was posted off by Wittgenstein to be considered for
publication during World War 2, in October 1941. None of it was
published and it remained hidden for over two generations. Upon its
rediscovery, Professor Gibson was invited to research, prepare and
edit the Archive to appear as this book, encouraged by Trinity
College Cambridge and The Mathematical Association. Niamh O'Mahony
joined him in co-editing and bringing this book to publication.
The book addresses the question of whether, in an age of
internationalisation and globalisation, cultural differences are
still relevant to German-Irish corporate relationships? The first
three chapters establish the theoretical framework for the analysis
by exploring the notion of culture, profiling the business cultures
of both countries, and examining existing approaches to the study
of parent company-foreign subsidiary relationships. In the
following three chapters, using interviews carried out with two
sample groups (fifteen German parent companies and fourteen of
their Irish operations; seven Irish parent companies and nine of
their German operations), the parent companies in both groups are
examined to see whether they demonstrate characteristics which are
in keeping with their national business cultures. Their foreign
operations are then analysed as is the parent company-foreign
subsidiary relationship to determine whether any parent company
influences are visible. The general approaches adopted by the two
groups of parent companies to their foreign operations are compared
and contrasted. Finally differences in national attitudes and
values are identified and their impact assessed.
This edited monograph sets out to track the course of change in
both Ireland and Germany and in Irish-German relations over the
last 20 years. 1989 marked the 40th year since the establishment of
the Federal Republic of Germany the same year saw the toppling of
the Berlin wall and with it the fall of the Iron Curtain. In
Ireland, 1989 was a year nestled within a period of high
unemployment and poor economic performance. Yet within a few years,
a transformation occurred that brought unprecedented change,
economically and socially. Therefore, symbolically speaking, a
number of walls fell in Ireland that brought new spaces, if not
freedoms increased standards of living and better living conditions
for many, new confidence in Self, and greater openness and
tolerance for the Other within a society that had been
predominantly monocultural for much of the twentieth century. The
tenor of this book is one which charts, analyses, discusses and
celebrates transition and change in Ireland, in Germany and in the
relationship between Ireland and Germany in the hugely significant
period of the last twenty years.
