Modeling, Simulation and Visual Analysis of CrowdsA Multidisciplinary Perspective

Over the last several years there has been a growing interest in developing computational methodologies for modeling and analyzing move-ments and behaviors of ‘crowds’ of people. This interest spans several scientific areas that includes Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, and Pedes-trian Evacuation Dynamics. Despite the fact that these different scientific fields are trying to model the same physical entity (i.e. a crowd of people), research ideas have evolved independently. As a result each discipline has developed techniques and perspectives that are characteristically their own.

Data Stream ManagementProcessing High-Speed Data Streams

Traditional Database Management Systems are built on the concept of persistent data sets, that are stored reliably in stable storage and queried/updated several times throughout their lifetime. For several emerging application domains, however, data arrives and needs to be processed on a continuous (24x7) basis, and they need data-processing algorithms and systems that work over continuous data streams. This book is the first in-depth treatment of this important topic, cover-ing basic data stream techniques, data stream syn-opses, mining data streams, advanced data stream computations, and systems and architectures for data stream management systems.

Calculus for Computer GraphicsStudents studying computer animation and com-puter games have to be familiar with geometry, matrices, vectors, rotation transforms, quaterni-ons, curves and surfaces, and as computer graph-ics software becomes increasingly sophisticated, calculus is also being used to resolve its associated problems. The author draws upon his experience in teaching mathematics to undergraduates to make calculus appear no more challenging than any other branch of mathematics.

Intelligent Fashion Forecasting Systems: Models and ApplicationsForecasting is a crucial function for companies in the fashion industry, but for many real-life forecasting applications in the, the data patterns are notorious for being highly volatile and it is very difficult, if not impossible, to analytically learn about the underlying patterns. As a result, many traditional methods (such as pure statistical models) will fail to make a sound prediction. Over the past decade, advances in artificial intelligence and computing technologies have provided an alternative way of generating precise and accurate forecasting results for fashion businesses. Despite being an important and timely topic, there is cur-rently an absence of a comprehensive reference source that provides up-to-date theoretical and ap-plied research findings on the subject of intelligent fashion forecasting systems.

Despite the enormous interest in and impor-tance given to multinationality from the academic and business worlds, prior findings about the multinationality–performance relationship are conflicting and inconsistent. The overall results of the present study show that multinationality has a positive impact both on accounting performance and on market-based performance.

Political, Economic and Financial Country RiskAnalysis of the Gulf Cooperation Council

“Decades go by and nothing happens; then weeks go by and decades happen”. This apt saying en-capsulates the dramatic convulsions taking place across the Arab world that first erupted in 2011 in Tunisia and which rapidly spread to other coun-tries. These events have affected the lives of ordi-nary citizens in many more ways than had been intended when the ‘Arab Spring’ broke out, with the endgame still not very clear as demonstrated in countries like Egypt, Syria and Libya. By com-parison, with some exceptions, the six countries comprising the Gulf Cooperation Council have been relatively unaffected by the general turbu-lence and uncertainties lapping around them.

Global Cooperation Among G2�0 CountriesResponding to the Crisis and Restoring Growth

At the outbreak of the global financial crisis, 2008, the G20 was widely acknowledged as helping prevent an even more serious decline in the global economy. It helped to calm the panic in financial markets and articulate a set of possible policy op-tions to restore global stability and growth. How-ever, as the dual-track recovery set in, policy op-tions for advanced economies and EMEs diverged. Within this context, this book will explore the scope for cooperation amongst the G20 and the diverging challenges and the intricate intercon-nectedness of policy options between advanced economies and the EMEs within the G20.

Behavioral Decision TheoryPsychological and Mathematical Descriptions of Human Choice Behavior

This book provides an overview of behavioral decision theory and related research findings. In brief, behavioral decision theory is a general term for descriptive theories to explain the psycho-logical knowledge related to decision-making behavior. It is called a theory, but actually it is a combination of various psychological theories, for which no axiomatic systems, such as the utility theory widely used in economics, have been established; it is often limited to qualitative knowledge. However, as suggested in the studies of H. A. Simon, who won the Nobel Prize for Economics in 1978, and D. Kahneman, who won the prize in 2002, the psychological methodology and knowledge of behavioral decision theory have been applied widely in such fields as economics, business administration, and engineering, and are expected to become more useful in the future. This book explains various behavioral decision theories related to decision-making processes.

Kripke’s WorldsAn Introduction to Modal Logics via Tableaux

Possible world models were introduced by Saul Kripke in the early 1960s. Basically, a possible world’s model is nothing but a graph with labelled nodes and labelled edges. Such graphs provide semantics for various modal logics (alethic, tem-poral, epistemic and doxastic, dynamic, deontic, description logics) and also turned out useful for other nonclassical logics (intuitionistic, condi-tional, several paraconsistent and relevant logics). All these logics have been studied intensively in philosophical and mathematical logic and in com-puter science, and have been applied increasingly in domains such as program semantics, artificial intelligence, and more recently in the semantic web. Additionally, all these logics were also stud-ied proof theoretically.

Pell and Pell-Lucas Numbers with ApplicationsPell and Pell–Lucas numbers, like the well-known Fibonacci and Catalan numbers, continue to intrigue the mathematical world with their beauty and applicability. They offer opportunities for experimentation, exploration, conjecture, and problem-solving techniques, connecting the fields of analysis, geometry, trigonometry, and various areas of discrete mathematics, number theory, graph theory, linear algebra, and combinator-ics. Pell and Pell–Lucas numbers belong to an extended Fibonacci family as a powerful tool for extracting numerous interesting properties of a vast array of number sequences. A key feature of this work is the historical flavor that is interwoven into the extensive and in-depth coverage of the subject. An interesting array of applications to combinatorics, graph theory, geometry, and in-triguing mathematical puzzles is another highlight engaging the reader.

Realtime Data MiningSelf-Learning Techniques for Recommendation Engines

Describing novel mathematical concepts for recommendation engines, Realtime Data Mining: Self-Learning Techniques for Recommendation Engines features a sound mathematical framework unifying approaches based on control and learn-ing theories, tensor factorization, and hierarchi-cal methods. Furthermore, it presents promising results of numerous experiments on real-world data. The area of real-time data mining is currently developing at an exceptionally dynamic pace, and real-time data mining systems are the counterpart of today’s “classic” data mining systems. Whereas the latter learn from historical data and then use it to deduce necessary actions, real-time analytics systems learn and act continuously and autono-mously. In the vanguard of these new analytics systems are recommendation engines.

Basics of Modern Parametric StatisticsThis textbook provides a unified and self-con-tained presentation of the main approaches to and ideas of mathematical statistics. It collects the basic mathematical ideas and tools needed as a basis for more serious study or even independent research in statistics. The majority of existing textbooks in mathematical statistics follow the classical asymptotic framework. Yet, as modern statistics has changed rapidly in recent years, new methods and approaches have appeared. The em-phasis is on finite sample behavior, large param-eter dimensions, and model misspecifications. The present book provides a fully self-contained in-troduction to the world of modern mathematical statistics, collecting the basic knowledge, concepts and findings needed for doing further research in the modern theoretical and applied statistics.
