Testbeds and Research Infrastructures for the Development of Networks and Communities
This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 13th EAI International Conference on Testbeds and Research Infrastructures for the Development of Networks and Communications, TridentCom 2018, held in November 2018 in Shanghai, China. The 10 full papers were selected from 29 submissions and are grouped into three sessions: wireless and testbed application; uncertainty analytics and formal verification; knowledge graph.

Mehrstufige Produktionsplanung in Abstraktionshierarchien auf der Basis relationaler Informationsstrukturen
0 d In diesem Buch wird versucht, die Erkenntnisse des Operations Research, der Künstlichen Intelligenz und computergestützter Produktionsplanungssysteme zur mehrstufigen (hierarchischen) Produktionsplanung zu integrieren und auf der Basis relationaler Datenbanksysteme zu implementieren. Dazu wird zunächst ein einheitliches Begriffssystem aufgebaut und ein konzeptuelles Modell mehrstufiger Produktionsplanung abgeleitet. Auf der Grundlage dieses Modells werden die wichtigsten Ansätze der genannten Bereiche klassifiziert und bewertet. Unter Berücksichtigung der mit der Benutzung relationaler Informationsstrukturen gegebenen Möglichkeiten zur Endbenutzerunterstützung wird ein Konzept zur interaktiven, inkrementellen Generierung zulässiger Produktionspläne in komplexen Umgebungen entwickelt und am Beispiel der Materialbedarfsplanung implementiert. Dabei wird besonderer Wert auf die Ausnutzung natürlicher Problemlösungshierarchien gelegt, die auf flexiblen Abstraktionshierarchien für die planungsrelevanten Objekte basieren.

Restructuring the Soviet Economic Bureaucracy
In Restructuring the Soviet Economic Bureaucracy, Paul R. Gregory takes an inside look at how the system worked and why it has traditionally been so resistant to change. Gregory's findings shed light on a bureaucracy that was widely considered the greatest threat to Gorbachev's efforts at perestroika, or restructuring. Restructuring the Soviet Economic Bureaucracy is based on Soviet and Western published accounts as well as interviews with former members of the Soviet economic bureaucracy, mainly from the middle elite. These informants, with their expert knowledge of the system, tell how bureaucrats big and small made the routine and extraordinary decisions that determined Soviet resource allocation. The often-criticized irrationalities of the Soviet bureaucracy are revealed to contain their own internal logic and consistency.

Leveraging Artificial Intelligence in Engineering, Management, and Safety of Infrastructure
The design, construction, and upkeep of infrastructure is comprised of a multitude of dimensions spanning a highly complex paradigm of interconnected opportunities and challenges. While traditional methods fall short of adequately accounting for such complexity, artificial intelligence (AI) presents novel and out-of-the-box solutions that effectively tackle the growing demands of our infrastructure. The convergence between AI and civil engineering is an emerging frontier with tremendous potential.The book is likely to provide a boost to the state of infrastructure engineering by fostering a new look at civil engineering that capitalizes on AI as its main driver. It highlights the ongoing push to adopt and leverage AI to realize contemporary, intelligent, safe, and resilient infrastructure. The book comprises interdisciplinary and novel works from across the globe. It presents findings from innovative efforts supplemented with physical tests, numerical simulations, and case studies – all of which can be used as benchmarks to carry out future experiments and/or facilitate the development of future AI models in structural engineering, traffic engineering, construction engineering, and construction materials.The book will serve as a guide for a wide range of audiences, including senior undergraduate and graduate students, professionals, and government officials of civil, traffic, and computer engineering backgrounds, as well as for those engaged in urban planning and human sciences.

Efficiency Measures in the Agricultural Sector
The editors draw on a 3-year project that analyzed a Portuguese area in detail, comparing this study with papers from other regions. Applications include the estimation of technical efficiency in agricultural grazing systems (dairy, beef and mixed) and specifically for dairy farms. The conclusions indicate that it is now necessary to help small dairy farms in order to make them more efficient. These results can be compared with the technical efficiency of a sample of Spanish dairy processing firms presented by Magdalena Kapelko and co-authors.

Foreign Investment Strategies in Restructuring Economies
Restructuring economies in Latin America, Eastern Europe, and elsewhere are abandoning their hostility to foreign enterprises and adopting policies to attract international investment. This book examines corporate experiences in Chile, one of the first nations to move successfully from a statist economy to an open market system using privatization, debt conversion, and liberal trade and investment policies. Drawing from research on over seventy foreign corporations, the book compares investment strategies used to assess risk and exploit business opportunities under conditions of fundamental economic change. Case studies describe how and why firms selected different financing, management, employment, production, and marketing approaches in establishing or expanding their operations.After a brief historical review, the book examines key policy decisions in the 1980s that shaped Chile's new economy. Case studies are then analyzed by sector, covering mining and energy, nontraditional exports (forestry, fishing, and agribusiness), banking and insurance, and other industries including computers, telecommunications, chemicals, electrical goods, automotive products, foods and beverages, and pharmaceuticals. Summary chapters relate these learning experiences to broader strategic issues such as ownership and control, financing methods, technology transfer, trade policy, labor relations, taxation, regulatory reform, and coordinating global corporate operations. This book presents cumulative learning experiences useful for business executives and public officials who must develop new foreign investment strategies, as well as scholars and students interested in the role of foreign investment in developing countries.
