The need for flexibility and globalization forces enterprises to decentralize their activities and continuously (re)structure their networks of relationships regarding both their productive "e;supply chains"e; and their design and innovation processes.
The position taken in this collection of pedagogically written essays is that conjugate gradient algorithms and finite element methods complement each other extremely well.
The 9th issue of the Transactions on Computational Science journal, edited by Francois Anton, is devoted to the subject of Voronoi diagrams in science and engineering.
Research on spatial cognition is a rapidly evolving interdisciplinary enterprise for the study of spatial representations and cognitive spatial processes, be they real or abstract, human or machine.
In this book the author employs a cybernetic view of robot cognition and perception as he examines mobile robot simulations, realizations and experiments, and explains the related mathematical models and algorithms.
