Algorithms in Decision Support Systems
This book aims to provide a new vision of how algorithms are the core of decision support systems (DSSs), which are increasingly important information systems that help to make decisions related to unstructured and semi-unstructured decision problems that do not have a simple solution from a human point of view. It begins with a discussion of how DSSs will be vital to improving the health of th…

Algorithms for Sparse Linear Systems
Large sparse linear systems of equations are ubiquitous in science, engineering and beyond. This open access monograph focuses on factorization algorithms for solving such systems. It presents classical techniques for complete factorizations that are used in sparse direct methods and discusses the computation of approximate direct and inverse factorizations that are key to constructing general-…

Algorithms for Fault Detection and Diagnosis
Due to the increasing demand for security and reliability in manufacturing and mechatronic systems, early detection and diagnosis of faults are key points to reduce economic losses caused by unscheduled maintenance and downtimes, to increase safety, to prevent the endangerment of human beings involved in the process operations and to improve reliability and availability of autonomous systems. T…

Beyond the Lines
Perhaps it is fitting to start a book that is fundamentally about re sis tance with the recognition that the success of this proj ect rested on people who encouraged me to push bound aries. My deepest appreciation goes to my Palestinian and Lebanese interlocutors. Without their kindness, generosity, patience, hospitality, and engagement, this proj ect would have gone nowhere.

Bioeconomy and Global Inequalities : Socio-Ecological Perspectives on Biomass…
This open access book focuses on the meanings, agendas, as well as the local and global implications of bioeconomy and bioenergy policies in and across South America, Asia and Europe. It explores how a transition away from a fossil and towards a bio-based economic order alters, reinforces and challenges socio-ecological inequalities. The volume presents a historically informed and empirically r…
