This book constitutes the proceedings of the 12th European Conference on Multi-Agent Systems, EUMAS 2014, held in Prague, Czech Republic, in December 2014. The 21 full papers and 8 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 79 submissions. They are organized in topical sections named: agent-based models, trust and reputation; coordination, coalitions and tea…

Statistical Mechanics for Engineers

The purpose of writing this book is to explain basic concepts of equilibrium statistical mechanics to the first year graduate students in engineering departments. Why should an engineer care about statistical mechanics? Historically, statistical mechanics evolved out of the desire to explain thermodynamics from fundamental laws of physics governing behavior of atoms and molecules. If a micro…

Morphomechanics of Development

This book outlines a unified theory of embryonic development, assuming morphogenesis to be a multi-level process including self-organizing steps while also obeying general laws. It is shown how molecular mechanisms generate mechanical forces, which in the long run lead to morphological changes. Questions such as how stress-mediated feedback acts at the cellular and supra-cellular levels and ho…

Module Theory, Extending Modules and Generalizations

The main focus of this monograph is to offer a comprehensive presentation of known and new results on various generalizations of CS-modules and CS-rings. Extending (or CS) modules are generalizations of injective (and also semisimple or uniform) modules. While the theory of CS-modules is well documented in monographs and textbooks, results on generalized forms of the CS property as well as dual…

Moving to Office 365:Planning and Migration Guide

This book takes a concentrated look at the very latest best practices for Office 365 migration, with a focus on the needs of senior managers, IT managers, and others involved in key decisions when moving their business to the cloud. Based on popular chapters in his first book, Office 365: Migrating and Managing Your Business in the Cloud (Apress Open, co-authored with Don Crawford), author M…

Morphogenesis and Individuation

This contributed volume aims to reconsider the concept of individuation, clarifying its articulation with respect to contemporary problems in perceptual, neural, developmental, semiotic and social morphogenesis. The authors approach the ontogenetical issue by taking into account the morphogenetic process, involving the concept of individuation proposed by Gilbert Simondon and Gilles Deleuze. Th…

Statistical Atlases and Computational Models of the Heart: Imaging and Modell…

Recently, there has been considerable progress in cardiac image analysis techniques, cardiac atlases, and computational models, which can integrate data from large-scale databases of heart shape, function, and physiology. Integrative models of cardiac function are important for understanding disease, evaluating treatment, and planning intervention. However, significant clinical translation of…
