English | 2010 | ISBN: 3642103537 | PDF | pages: 173 | 4.5 mb
This volumecomprisesthe proceedingsof the 8th InternationalConferenceon M- tiple Objective and Goal Programming: Theories and Applications (MOPGP08). ThisconferencewasheldinPortsmouth,UnitedKingdomonthe24th-26thSept- ber 2008. The conference was attended by 59 delegates. The countries represented were Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Kuwait, Poland, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and United States. The MOPGP conference series is now a well-established discussion forum for practitioners and academics working in the eld of multiple objective and goal p- gramming. Conferences are held every 2 years, with previous conferences taking place in Portsmouth,UK in 1994;in Malaga,Spainin 1996;in QuebecCity, Canada in 1998; in Ustron, Poland in 2000; in Nara, Japan in 2002; in Hammamet, Tunisia in 2004; and in Tours, France in 2006. The selection of papers published in this volume re ects the breadth of the techniques and applications in the eld of multiple objective and goal progr- ming. Applications from the elds of supply chain management, nancial portfolio selection, nancial risk management, insurance, medical imaging, sustainability, nurse scheduling, project management, and the interface with data envelopment analysis give a good re ection of current usage. A pleasing variety of techniques are used, including models with fuzzy, group-decision, stochastic, interactive, and binary aspects. Additionally, two papers from the upcoming area of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms are included. As organisersof the MOGP08 conference, we thank all the participants and p- senters at the conference for helping the MOPGP series to continue to de ne and develop the state-of-the-artin the eld of multiple objective and goal programming.

MPLS-Enabled Applications: Emerging Developments and New Technologies by Ina Minei , Julian Lucek
Language: English | 2005 | ISBN: 0470014539 | 432 pages | PDF | 10,2 MB
The capability of Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) to identify traffic based on its label at forwarding time, coupled with its ability to force traffic down pre-established paths, has created a whole range of new applications while enabling scaling of existing applications. To highlight the emerging developments, Ina Minei and Julian Lucek cover traffic engineering, L3VPNs (Layer 3 Virtual Private Networks), pseudowires, VPLS (Virtual Private LAN Service), and much more. They methodically illustrate how MPLS holds the key to network convergence by allowing operators to offer more services over a single physical infrastructure and how it can reduce the cost of the network by streamlining operations. With over a hundred illustrations and thirteen in-depth chapters MPLS-Enabled Applications documents why MPLS is now considered the networking technology for carrying all types of network traffic, including voice telephony, real-time video, and the many types of data traffic.

Stephen Reynolds, "Grasslands: Developments, Opportunities, Perspectives"
English | 2005 | pages: 556 | ISBN: 1578083591, 1138427128 | PDF | 135,0 mb
This book looks at significant current grassland problems and issues, and provides an insight into grassland productivity in diverse areas of the world, with their various production systems. There is a focus on recent technical advances and the prospects for further innovation, through twenty-one chapters by eminent grassland scientists, grouped into seven sections - forage germplasm; forage conservation; grass-based systems and organic production; climate change, biodiversity and biotechnology; geographical information systems; farmer and pastoralist participation; and regional developments. The book is timely in view of the expanding human and livestock populations, especially in arid and semi-arid environments, with the consequent pressure on the world's grasslands.

Gerd Bayer, Ebbe Klitgard, "Narrative Developments from Chaucer to Defoe"
English | 2014 | ISBN: 1138849944, 0415879485 | EPUB | pages: 270 | 2.9 mb
This collection analyzes how narrative technique developed from the late Middle Ages to the beginning of the 18th century. Taking Chaucer's influential Middle English works as the starting point, the original essays in this volume explore diverse aspects of the formation of early modern prose narratives. Essays focus on how a sense of selfness or subjectivity begins to establish itself in various narratives, thus providing a necessary requirement for the individuality that dominates later novels. Other contributors investigate how forms of intertextuality inscribe early modern prose within previous traditions of literary writing. A group of chapters presents the process of genre-making as taking place both within the confines of the texts proper, but also within paratextual features and through the rationale behind cataloguing systems.
