Free Download Susana Borras, Claudio Radaelli, "The Politics of the Lisbon Agenda: Governance Architectures And Domestic Usages Of Europe"
English | 2011 | ISBN: 0415689635 | EPUB | pages: 155 | 0.9 mb
In the year 2000, in Lisbon, the European Union launched an agenda for growth, jobs, sustainability and competiveness with a ten-year target. In 2010, the agenda was re-launched with different specific objectives but with the same final goals. Why do the European Union leaders engage with these ten-year plans? What exactly do they commit to when they do so? Do they learn from the results, or is this a rhetorical exercise that complex organizations need to raise attention to certain issues?

1 The International Workshop on Recon?gurable Computing (ARC) started in 2005 in Algarve, Portugal. The major motivation was to create an event where on-going research e?orts as well as more elaborated, interesting and hi- quality work on applied recon?gurable computing could be presented and d- cussed. Over the last couple of years recon?gurable computing has become a we- known and established research area producing interesting as well as important results in both general and embedded computing systems. It is also getting more and more interest from industry which is attracted by the (design and development) ?exibility as well as the performance improvements that can be expected from this technology. As recon?gurablecomputing has blurred the gap between software and hardware, some even speak of a radical new programming paradigm opening a new realm of unseen applications and opportunities. The logo of the ARC workshop is the Nonius, a measurement instrument used in the Portuguese period of discoveries that was invented by Pedro Nunes, a Portuguesemathematician. As the logo suggests,the main motto of ARC is to help to navigate the world of recon?gurable computing. Driven by this motto, we hope ARC contributes to solid advances on recon?gurable computing.

Free Download Handbook on Architectures of Information Systems By Peter Bernus, Günter Schmidt (auth.), Assoc. Professor Dr. Peter Bernus, Professor Dr. Kai Mertins, Professor Dr. Günter Schmidt (eds.)
2006 | 896 Pages | ISBN: 3540254722 | PDF | 15 MB
This book is the first volume of a running series under the title Inter- tional Handbooks on Information Systems. The series is edited by Peter Bernus, Jacek Blazewicz, Günter Schmidt and Mike Shaw. One objective is to give state of the art surveys on selected topics of information systems theory and applications. To this end, a distinguished international group of academics and practitioners are invited to provide a reference source not only for problem solvers in business, industry, and government but also for professional researchers and graduate students. It seemed appropriate to start the series with a volume covering some basic aspects about information systems. The focus of the first volume is therefore architectures. It was decided to have a balanced number of c- tributions from academia and practitioners. The structure of the material follows a differentiation betweeen modelling languages, tools and meth- ologies. These are collected into separate parts, allowing the reader of the handbook a better comparison of the contributions. Information systems are a major component of the entire enterprise and the reader will notice that many contributions could just as easily have been included in another volume of the series which is on enterprise in- gration. Conversely, some traditionally information systems topics, as – ganisational analysis and strategic change management methods, will be treated in more depth in the Handbook on Enterprise Integration. The two volumes will complement each other.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Conference on High Performance Embedded Architectures and Compilers, HiPEAC 2007, held in Ghent, Belgium, in January 2007.The 19 revised full papers presented together with one invited keynote paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 65 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on secure and low-power embedded memory systems, architecture/compiler optimizations for efficient embedded processing, adaptive microarchitectures, architecture evaluation techniques, generation of efficient embedded applications, as well as optimizations and architectural tradeoffs for embedded systems.

Free Download E-Learning Networked Environments and Architectures: A Knowledge Processing Perspective By Samuel Pierre, Gilbert Paquette (auth.), Samuel Pierre PhD (eds.)
2007 | 434 Pages | ISBN: 1846283515 | PDF | 8 MB
Over the last decade researchers and practitioners have developed a wide range of knowledge related to e-learning. This book provides state-of-the-art e-learning networked environments and architectures carried out over the last few years from a knowledge management perspective.The book is organized into four parts: After an introductory chapter which attempts to characterize the e-learning environments, Part I exposes the problems of building knowledge scenarios followed by Part II which analyzes the process of building knowledge environments. Part III summarizes the principles, methods and issues related to the design of knowledge networks and finally Part IV addresses the problem of retrieving resources and knowledge from networked environments.Presenting a wide-ranging survey of methods and applications from contributors from around the world, this book will be a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners and graduates.

Free Download Biologically Inspired Cognitive Architectures 2024
English | 2024 | ISBN: 303176515X | 477 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 89 MB
This book reports on original approaches intended to support the development of biologically inspired cognitive architectures. It bridges together different disciplines, including artificial intelligence, linguistics, neuro- and social sciences, psychology and philosophy of mind, among others. The chapters are based on contributions presented at the 2024 Annual International Conference on Brain-Inspired Cognitive Architectures for Artificial Intelligence (the 15th Annual Meeting of the BICA Society, BICA*AI 2024), organized in collaboration with the 17th Conference on Artificial General Intelligence (AGI 2024) and held on August 13-16, 2024, in Seattle, WA, USA. They cover emerging methods, theories and ideas towards the realization of general-purpose humanlike artificial intelligence or fostering a better understanding of the ways the human mind works. All in all, this book provides engineers, mathematicians, psychologists, computer scientists and other experts with a timely snapshot of recent research and a source of inspiration for future developments in the broadly intended areas of artificial intelligence and biological inspiration.

Latin American Modern Architectures: Ambiguous Territories has thirteen new essays from a range of distinguished architectural historians to help you understand the region’s rich and varied architecture. It will also introduce you to major projects that have not been written about in English. A foreword by historian Kenneth Frampton sets the stage for essays on well-known architects, such as Lucio Costa and Félix Candela, which will show you unfamiliar aspects of their work, and for essays on the work of little-known figures, such as Uruguayan architect Carlos Gómez Gavazzo and Peruvian architect and politician Fernando Belaúnde Terry. Covering urban and territorial histories from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, along with detailed building analyses, this book is your best source for historical and critical essays on a sampling of Latin America’s diverse architecture, providing much-needed information on key case studies.
