Algebraic Modeling of Topological and Computational Structures and Applications
Author: Sofia Lambropoulou
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319681036
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 481
Book Description
This interdisciplinary book covers a wide range of subjects, from pure mathematics (knots, braids, homotopy theory, number theory) to more applied mathematics (cryptography, algebraic specification of algorithms, dynamical systems) and concrete applications (modeling of polymers and ionic liquids, video, music and medical imaging). The main mathematical focus throughout the book is on algebraic modeling with particular emphasis on braid groups. The research methods include algebraic modeling using topological structures, such as knots, 3-manifolds, classical homotopy groups, and braid groups. The applications address the simulation of polymer chains and ionic liquids, as well as the modeling of natural phenomena via topological surgery. The treatment of computational structures, including finite fields and cryptography, focuses on the development of novel techniques. These techniques can be applied to the design of algebraic specifications for systems modeling and verification. This book is the outcome of a workshop in connection with the research project Thales on Algebraic Modeling of Topological and Computational Structures and Applications, held at the National Technical University of Athens, Greece in July 2015. The reader will benefit from the innovative approaches to tackling difficult questions in topology, applications and interrelated research areas, which largely employ algebraic tools.

Information Modelling and Knowledge Bases XXVII
Author: T. Welzer
Publisher: IOS Press
ISBN: 1614996113
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
Information modeling has become an increasingly important topic for researchers, designers and users of information systems. In the course of the last three decades, information modeling and knowledge bases have become essential, not only with regard to information systems and computer science in an academic context, but also with the use of information technology for business purposes. This book presents 29 papers selected and upgraded from those delivered at the 25th International Conference on Information Modelling and Knowledge Bases (EJC 2015), held in Maribor, Slovenia, in June 2015. The aim of the conference is to bring together experts from different areas of computer science and other disciplines, including philosophy and logic, cognitive science, knowledge management, linguistics, and management science, with a view to understanding and solving problems and applying research results to practice. Areas covered by the papers include: conceptual modeling; knowledge and information modeling and discovery; linguistic modeling; cross-cultural communication and social computing; environmental modeling and engineering; and multimedia data modeling and systems. The book will be of interest to all those whose work involves the development or use of information modeling and knowledge bases.

Ideal for the one-term course, or as a self-learning guide for professionals, the authors weave a continuing case study of a real-world commercial enterprise throughout the text that gradually grows in sophistication. Introductory chapters ask readers to create a simple website that uses the basic features of XHTML. Readers will continue to modify and expand their early work, creating a centralized mechanism for changing the look and feel of the site via cascading style sheets, and incorporating JavaScript, PHP, MySQL, and much more. A CD-ROM is included with every new printed copy of the text and includes complete and pre-tested XHTML and CSS markup for all web pages discussed, as well as all associated JavaScript and PHP scripts, and the data for setting up the MySQL database. With its hands-on, active-learning approach, students using this new full-color text will see, and experience first-hand, the many levels and capabilities of programming for the world wide web. Key Features: -Based on a real business model, this text provides a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of creating a complete website with e-commerce capabilities. -Uses a project-based approach that asks readers to develop a website whose functionality will parallel that of the real-world case study in the text. -Includes examples and screen shots of real websites throughout for readers to reference. -Presents and utilizes maintstream and relevant open-source and widely used technologies: XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL, XML, and more. -Every chapter concludes with a collection of activities to assure the reader has a full understanding of the chapter material. These activities include: quick questions to test the readers basic knowledge of the content; short exercises to improve basic understanding; 'exercises on the parallel project' that guide the reader through creating his/her own fully functional commercial website; a section titled 'What Else You May Want or Need to Know', containing additional information relevant to the chapter; and finally, a reference section with links to websites for further details and explanations of the topics covered in the chapter. -The accompanying CD-ROM contains complete and pre-tested XHTML and CSS markup for all web pages discussed in teh text, as well as all associated JavaScript and PHP scripts, and the data for setting up the MySQL database (eBook version doe not include the CD-ROM).

Gamification in Education and Business
Author: Torsten Reiners
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319102087
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 749
Book Description
This book is dedicated to applied gamification in the areas of education and business, while also covering pitfalls to avoid and guidelines needed to successfully implement for a project. Using different theoretical backgrounds from various areas including behavioral economics, game theory, and complex adaptive systems, the contributors aim to help readers avoid common problems and difficulties that they could face with poor implementation. The book’s contributors are scholars and academics from the many areas where the key theory of gamification typically comes from. Ultimately, the book’s goal is to help bring together the theories from these different disciplines to the field of practice in education and business. The book is divided into four parts: Theory, Education, Business, and Use Cases. Part I provides a foundation on the theory of gamification and offers insight into some of the outstanding questions that have yet to be addressed. In Part II, the application and value that gamification can bring within the education sector is examined. The book then changes focus in Part III to spotlight the use of gamification within business environments. The topics also cover educational aspects like improved learning outcomes, motivation, and learning retention at the workplace. Finally Part IV concentrates on the applications and use of gamification through a series of case studies and key elements that are used in real situations to drive real results.
