The conference has an interdisciplinary focus and aims to bring together scientists - mathematicians, electrical engineers, computer scientists, and physicists, from universities and industry - to have in-depth discussions of the latest scientific results in Computational Science and Engineering relevant to Electrical Engineering and to stimulate and inspire active participation of young researchers.

The main aim of this book is to discuss model order reduction (MOR) methods for differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) with linear coefficients that make use of splitting techniques before applying model order reduction. The splitting produces a system of ordinary differential equations (ODE) and a system of algebraic equations, which are then reduced separately. For the reduction of the ODE system, conventional MOR methods can be used, whereas for the reduction of the algebraic systems new methods are discussed. The discussion focuses on the index-aware model order reduction method (IMOR) and its variations, methods for which the so-called index of the original model is automatically preserved after reduction.

Revised as though Christ's trial took place in the 20th century, Schilder melds Biblical fact with the courtroom suspense drama for a riveting read.

The fourth international conference on Scientific Computing in Electrical En- gineering (SCEE) was held at the Eindhoven University of Technology, from 23rd to 28th June, 2002. It was sponsored by Philips Research Laborato- ries Eindhoven, the Eindhoven University of Technology, Computer Simula- tion Technology (CST) from Darmstadt, ABB Corporate Research, Thales Netherlands,the European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry (ECMI), the University of Rostock (organiser of SCEE-2000), the European network for Mathematics, Computing and Simulation for Industry (MACSI-net), the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW), and the Scien- tific Computing Group of the Eindhoven University of Technology. The Program Committee consisted of: Dr. Alain Bossavit, Electricite de France, Clamart, France. Dr. Uwe Feldmann, Infineon Technologies A.G., Munich, Germany. Prof.Dr. Leszek Demkowicz, University of Texas at Austin, USA. Dr. Michael Gunther, Universitat Karlsruhe, Germany. Prof.Dr. Ulrich Langer, Johannes Kepler Universitat, Linz, Austria. Dr. Jan ter Maten,Philips Research Laboratories Eindhoven, The Nether- lands. Prof.Dr. Ursula van Rienen, Universitat Rostock, Germany. Prof.Dr. Jaijeet Roychowdhury, University of Minnesota, USA. - Prof.Dr. Wil Schilders, Technische Universiteit Eindhoven and Philips Research Laboratories Eindhoven, The Netherlands. - Prof.Dr. Thomas Weiland, Technische Universitat Darmstadt, Germany.

The idea for this book originated during the workshop "Model order reduction, coupled problems and optimization" held at the Lorentz Center in Leiden from S- tember 19-23, 2005. During one of the discussion sessions, it became clear that a book describing the state of the art in model order reduction, starting from the very basics and containing an overview of all relevant techniques, would be of great use for students, young researchers starting in the ?eld, and experienced researchers. The observation that most of the theory on model order reduction is scattered over many good papers, making it dif?cult to ?nd a good starting point, was supported by most of the participants. Moreover, most of the speakers at the workshop were willing to contribute to the book that is now in front of you. The goal of this book, as de?ned during the discussion sessions at the workshop, is three-fold: ?rst, it should describe the basics of model order reduction. Second, both general and more specialized model order reduction techniques for linear and nonlinear systems should be covered, including the use of several related numerical techniques. Third, the use of model order reduction techniques in practical appli- tions and current research aspects should be discussed. We have organized the book according to these goals. In Part I, the rationale behind model order reduction is explained, and an overview of the most common methods is described.

This contributed volume convenes a rich selection of works with a focus on innovative mathematical methods with applications in real-world, industrial problems. Studies included in this book are all motivated by a relevant industrial challenge, and demonstrate that mathematics for industry can be extremely rewarding, leading to new mathematical methods and sometimes even to entirely new fields within mathematics. The book is organized into two parts: Computational Sciences and Engineering, and Data Analysis and Finance. In every chapter, readers will find a brief description of why such work fits into this volume; an explanation on which industrial challenges have been instrumental for their inspiration; and which methods have been developed as a result. All these contribute to a greater unity of the text, benefiting not only practitioners and professionals seeking information on novel techniques but also graduate students in applied mathematics, engineering, and related fields.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Routledge is now re-issuing this prestigious series of 204 volumes originally published between 1910 and 1965. The titles include works by key figures such asC.G. Jung, Sigmund Freud, Jean Piaget, Otto Rank, James Hillman, Erich Fromm, Karen Horney and Susan Isaacs. Each volume is available on its own, as part of a themed mini-set, or as part of a specially-priced 204-volume set. A brochure listing each title in the International Library of Psychology series is available upon request.

This state-of-the-art survey comprises a selection of the material presented at the International Dagstuhl Seminar on Annotating, Extracting and Reasoning about Time and Events, held in Dagstuhl Castle, Germany, in April 2005.

The seminar centered around an emerging de facto standard for time and event annotation: TimeML. The 9 papers included in the book constitute the thoroughly cross-reviewed and revised versions of selected summaries and findings presented and discussed at the seminar.

The papers feature current research and discuss open problems concerning annotation, temporal reasoning, and event identification. The main concern is with the determination of the effectivity of the TimeML language for consistent annotation, the determination of the usefulness of such annotations for further processing, and the question as to which modifications should be applied to the standard to improve its convenience in applications such as question-answering and information retrieval.

Dieses Buch ist das Buch eines Psychiaters und Psychologen, der, auf seinem Wissenschaftsgebiete fuBend, versucht, das Wesentliche der Naturwissenschaft zu iiberblicken, um den philosophischen Gehalt des geforderten wissenschaftlichen Materials priifen zu konnen. Bei diesem Versuch ist es zweifellos ein Hindernis, daB dem Autor des Buches tiefergreifende Kenntnisse auf physikalischem, mathematischem und biologischem Gebiete nicht zu Gebote stehen; er steht jenen Wissen schaften als AuBenseiter gegeniiber. Vielleicht liegt gerade hier die Starke seiner Position, denn irgendwo muB das Fachwissen auch dem jenigen sich erschlieBen, der eine andere Teildisziplin wissenschaftlich bearbeitet. Dieser Sachverhalt notigt den Autor, seine Darlegungen iiber physikalische Probleme vorwiegend auf zusammenfassende Dar stellungen zu stiitzen. Auf Einzeluntersuchungen konnte nicht zuriick gegriffen werden. Aus methodischen Griinden werden auch im zweiten biologischen Teile gleichfalls zusammenfassende Werke bevorzugt, trotzdem bei der groBeren Verwandtschaft der Arbeitsgebiete dem Autor der Zugang zur wissenschaftlichen Einzelarbeit nicht verschlossen ist. Es kann nicht Aufgabe des Autors sein, bei diesem Stande der Dinge die wissenschaftliche Einzelproblematik der ihm fremden Wissenschaften kritisch zu beleuchten und fOrdern zu wollen. Er hat es sogar fiir wiinschenswert gehalten, einzelne sehr element are Tatsachen wieder ins Gedachtnifl zurUckzurufen, um seine Gedankengange an ihnen zu veranschaulichen, Tatsachen, welche den naturwissenschaftlich Unter richteten gelaufig sind."
