Free Download Adaptive Bidding in Single-Sided Auctions Under Uncertainty: An Agent-based Approach in Market Engineering By Clemens van Dinther (auth.)
2007 | 238 Pages | ISBN: 3764380942 | PDF | 2 MB
In the last years electronic markets, especially online auctions, have become very popular and received more and more attention in both, business (B2B) as well as in public practice (B2C and C2C). Science, however, is still far from having studied all phenomena and effects which can be observed on electronic markets. This book shows that and how software agents can be used to simulate bidding behaviour in electronic auctions. The main emphasis of this book is to apply computational economics to market theory. It summarizes the most common and up-to-date agent-based simulation methods and tools and develops the simulation software AMASE. On basis of the introduced methods a model is established to simulate bidding behaviour under uncertainty.The book addresses researchers, computer scientists, economists and students who are interested in applying agent-based computational methods to electronic markets. It helps to learn more about simulations in economics in general and common agent-based methods and tools in particular.

Free Download Multiscale, Nonlinear and Adaptive Approximation II
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031758013 | 470 Pages | PDF (True) | 18 MB
This book presents a collection of high-quality papers in applied and numerical mathematics, as well as approximation theory, all closely related to Wolfgang Dahmen’s scientific contributions. Compiled in honor of his 75th birthday, the papers are written by leading experts and cover topics including nonlinear approximation theory, numerical analysis of partial differential equations, learning theory, and electron microscopy. A unifying theme throughout the collection is the emphasis on a solid mathematical foundation, which serves as the basis for the most efficient numerical algorithms used to simulate complex phenomena.

Free Download Modeling, Mesh Generation, and Adaptive Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations By Robert E. Barnhill, Gerald Farin, Bernd Hamann (auth.), Ivo Babuska, William D. Henshaw, Joseph E. Oliger, Joseph E. Flaherty, John E. Hopcroft, Tayfun Tezduyar (eds.)
1995 | 450 Pages | ISBN: 1461287073 | PDF | 18 MB
With considerations such as complex-dimensional geometries and nonlinearity, the computational solution of partial differential systems has become so involved that it is important to automate decisions that have been normally left to the individual. This book covers such decisions: 1) mesh generation with links to the software generating the domain geometry, 2) solution accuracy and reliability with mesh selection linked to solution generation. This book is suited for mathematicians, computer scientists and engineers and is intended to encourage interdisciplinary interaction between the diverse groups.

Free Download A Stable and Transparent Framework for Adaptive Shared Control of Robots (Springer Tracts in Advanced Robotics, 158) by Ribin Balachandran
English | January 3, 2024 | ISBN: 3031479335 | 203 pages | MOBI | 27 Mb
Robotic research and developments in computing technologies including artificial intelligence have led to significant improvements in autonomous capabilities of robots. Yet, human supervision is advisable and, in many cases, necessary when robots interact with real-world, outside-lab environments. This is due to the fact that complete autonomy in robots has not yet been achieved. When robots encounter challenges beyond their capabilities, a viable solution is to include human operators in the loop, who can support robots through teleoperation, taking complete control or shared control.

Free Download Adaptive Systems: An Introduction By Iven Mareels, Jan Willem Polderman (auth.)
1996 | 342 Pages | ISBN: 1461264146 | PDF | 9 MB
Loosely speaking, adaptive systems are designed to deal with, to adapt to, chang ing environmental conditions whilst maintaining performance objectives. Over the years, the theory of adaptive systems evolved from relatively simple and intuitive concepts to a complex multifaceted theory dealing with stochastic, nonlinear and infinite dimensional systems. This book provides a first introduction to the theory of adaptive systems. The book grew out of a graduate course that the authors taught several times in Australia, Belgium, and The Netherlands for students with an engineering and/or mathemat ics background. When we taught the course for the first time, we felt that there was a need for a textbook that would introduce the reader to the main aspects of adaptation with emphasis on clarity of presentation and precision rather than on comprehensiveness. The present book tries to serve this need. We expect that the reader will have taken a basic course in linear algebra and mul tivariable calculus. Apart from the basic concepts borrowed from these areas of mathematics, the book is intended to be self contained.

Free Download Adaptive IT-Service-Ausschreibung: Der Weg zu agilem und effektiverem IT-(Out)Sourcing
Deutsch | 2024 | ISBN: 3658455357 | 274 Pages | PDF (True) | 9 MB
Ausschreibungen für IT Managed Services haben sich weiterentwickelt, aber Bereiche, die entscheidend für den Geschäftswert der Kunden sind, wurden bisher kaum verbessert. Wenn die Zusammenarbeit zwischen IT-Dienstleister und Kunde ins Stocken gerät, ist der nächste Innovationszyklus eine erneute Ausschreibung in frühestens drei Jahren. Diesen Zeitverlust können sich immer weniger Branchen leisten. Adaptive IT-Ausschreibungen verkürzen den Zeitraum und legen den Fokus auf Innovation und Zusammenarbeit. Dabei eignen sich adaptive Ansätze nicht nur für agile Unternehmen, sondern auch für traditionelle Organisationen.

Free Download Danielle S. McNamara, "Adaptive Educational Technologies for Literacy Instruction"
English | ISBN: 113812544X | 2016 | 310 pages | EPUB | 6 MB
While current educational technologies have the potential to fundamentally enhance literacy education, many of these tools remain unknown to or unused by today’s practitioners due to a lack of access and support. Adaptive Educational Technologies for Literacy Instruction presents actionable information to educators, administrators, and researchers about available educational technologies that provide adaptive, personalized literacy instruction to students of all ages. These accessible, comprehensive chapters, written by leading researchers who have developed systems and strategies for classrooms, introduce effective technologies for reading comprehension and writing skills.

Free Download Robert Simons, "Retired, Rehabbed, Reborn: The Adaptive Reuse of America’s Derelict Religious Buildings and Schools "
English | ISBN: 1606352563 | 2017 | 392 pages | EPUB | 19 MB
Each year in the United States, hundreds of religious buildings and schools become vacant or underutilized as congregations and populations merge, move, or diminish. These structures are often well located, attractive, eligible for tax credits, and available for redevelopment. In this practical and innovative handbook, authors Simons, DeWine, and Ledebur have compiled a step-by-step guide to finding sustainable new uses for vacant structures. The reuse of these important buildings offers those charged with revitalizing them an opportunity to capture their embodied energy, preserve local beloved landmarks, and boost sustainability. Rehabbing presents an opportunity for developers to recoup some value from these assets. Neighbors and other stakeholders also enjoy benefits as the historic structures are retained and the urban fabric of communities is preserved.
