A Perspective on Two Decades of Rapid Modeling It is an honor for me to be asked to write a foreword to the Proceedings of the 1st Rapid Modeling Conference.
This book assesses potential developments of terrorism and ways to prevent it-the growing threats as new technologies become available - and how the same new technologies may help trap those with potential mal-intent.
It is intended that this book be used in senior- to graduate-level semester courses in optimization, as offered in mathematics, engineering, com- puter science and operations research departments.
Improving Mathematics at Work questions the mathematical knowledge and skills that matter in the twenty-first century world of work, and studies how the use of mathematics in the workplace is evolving in the rapidly-changing context of new technologies and globalisation.
This book presents the state-of-the-art in the emerging field of data science and includes models for layered security with applications in the protection of sites-such as large gathering places-through high-stake decision-making tasks.
When dealing with the design or with the application of any technical system, which is not quite simple and trivial, one has to face to the problem to determine the allowable de- viations of the system functions and the optimal vector of system parameter tolerances.
This collection of high-quality articles in the field of combinatorics, geometry, algebraic topology and theoretical computer science is a tribute to Jiri Matousek, who passed away prematurely in March 2015.
