Memristor NetworksUsing memristors one can achieve circuit func-tionalities that are not possible to establish with resistors, capacitors and inductors, therefore the memristor is of great pragmatic usefulness. Potential unique applications of memristors are in spintronic devices, ultra-dense information storage, neuromorphic circuits and programmable electronics. Memristor Networks focuses on the design, fabrication, modelling of and implementa-tion of computation in spatially extended discrete media with many memristors. Top experts in com-puter science, mathematics, electronics, physics and computer engineering present foundations of the memristor theory and applications, dem-onstrate how to design neuromorphic network architectures based on memristor assembles, analyse varieties of the dynamic behaviour of memristive networks and show how to realise computing devices from memristors. All aspects of memristor networks are presented in detail, in a fully accessible style.

Natural Language Processing of Semitic LanguagesResearch in Natural Language Processing (NLP) has rapidly advanced in recent years, resulting in exciting algorithms for sophisticated processing of text and speech in various languages. Much of this work focuses on English; in this book we ad-dress another group of interesting and challenging languages for NLP research: the Semitic languages. The Semitic group of languages includes Arabic (206 million native speakers), Amharic (27 mil-lion), Hebrew (7 million), Tigrinya (6.7 million), Syriac (1 million) and Maltese (419 thousand). Semitic languages exhibit unique morphological processes, challenging syntactic constructions, and various other phenomena that are less prevalent in other natural languages. These challenges call for unique solutions, many of which are described in this book. The 13 chapters presented in this book bring together leading scientists from several universities and research institutes worldwide.

Growth Through InnovationManaging the Technology-Driven Enterprise

Capitalism produced entrepreneurs and property rights, the two basic pillars of innovation and growth. As the speed of technology is steadily increasing only radical innovation can be the name of the game. This book discusses technology and innovation trends by looking into historical examples and telling the latest business stories. It opens the discourse about pirates, pioneers, in-novators and imitators; proposes the framework of dominant, science-driven and high-tech industry for innovation management, and gives insights into intellectual property rights, industrial designs and technical risk management. Finally, it offers 8 important innovation principles for technology driven enterprises that have turned out to have a big effect on the outcome – and in the end on growth.

This book examines the implementation of sci-ence, technology and innovation (STI) policy in eight Latin American countries and the differ-ent paths these policies have taken. It provides empirical evidence to examine the extent to which STI policies are contributing to the development of the region, as well as to the solution of market failures and the stimulus of the region’s innova-tion systems. Since the pioneering work of Solow (1957), it has been recognized that innovation is critical for economic growth both in developed and in less-developed countries.

open GovernmentOpportunities and Challenges for Public Governance

On January 2009, President Obama signed the Memorandum on Transparency and Open Government. The memorandum declares the new Administration’s commitment to creating an unprecedented level of openness in Govern-ment and establishing a system linking three principles: transparency, public participation and collaboration. Since then, federal agencies in the United States and public administrations around the world have embarked on open government initiatives and have worked to redefine their relationship with citizens and with each other. On September 20th, 2011, eight governments gathered in New York City to launch the Open Govern-ment Partnership, a new multilateral initiative to promote open government. The benefits attributed to open government are many and by no means universally shared.

Names, Ethnicity and PopulationsTracing Identity in Space

Ethnicity has become one of the most studied human dimensions in social and biomedical sciences over the past decade. However, there are important shortcomings in the means available to researchers to define and classify human group difference in past, as well as contemporary popula-tions. Personal naming conventions usually adhere to unwritten social norms and customs that with time end up producing distinctive cultural, ethnic, linguistic, religious and geographic patterns in name distributions. This book follows the fascinat-ing journey of personal names across the world, using maps and networks to identify alternative combinations of ethnic and geographic origins in contemporary population groups and neighbour-hoods.

Today, the principles and practicalities of these subsidies have been called into question, endangering the secure funding of expensive high-quality press output.

organisational Flexibility and CompetitivenessThe proposed book is intended to provide a con-ceptual framework of ‘Organisational Flexibility and Competitiveness’ supported by research stud-ies in various types of flexibilities exhibited by an organisation. The need for enterprise flexibility in an era of rapidly advancing technology, increas-ing competition, and globalization, is apparent. Flexibility can be thought of as an ability of the enterprise to quickly and efficiently respond to market changes and to bring new products and services quickly to the market place. Beyond this definition, a truly flexible enterprise should proactively change the market through its ability to create truly new and innovative products and services.

Knowledge Management for DevelopmentDomains, Strategies and Technologies for Developing Countries

A number of developing countries, including small island states have common problems that have affected their development and growth. Knowledge Management (KM) initiatives can be used to address some of these issues, but these developing countries need to understand what is needed to implement them, in order to improve economic conditions. While many of these coun-tries have access to technologies that can be used to assist in knowledge management, relevant and low cost KM initiatives need to be considered in improving their existing KM processes.

Emerging Research Directions in Social EntrepreneurshipThis book takes an inside-out approach to exam-ine the broad topic of social entrepreneurship. Instead of looking inward at what social entrepre-neurship is, this book looks forward from the view of successful social entrepreneurs to answer the important question, “Where is social entrepre-neurship going next?” First, the volume looks at the essential qualities of social entrepreneurs, including the importance of humility as a trait in the social entrepreneur, the way in which social entrepreneurs define themselves as such, and if and how opportunity recognition differs in social and traditional entrepreneurs. Next, the volume looks at the impact of social entrepreneurial busi-nesses on individuals but also on the supply chain, other businesses and the wider community. Next, the book explores social entrepreneurship and global change.

Measuring E-government EfficiencyThe Opinions of Public Administrators and Other Stakeholders

E-government has the potential to improve public services, information transparency, and the en-gagement of civic participation of the public sector management. This book analyzes the achieve-ment of expectations created by public managers, policy-makers, and stakeholders with regard to the implementation of e-government policies and applications. It also tries to determine whether e-government applications have been introduced as a fad or according to real demands from citizenry and if efforts within e-government have been effective. This book investigates how public managers and policy-makers imagine e-govern-ment policies and the impact of those policies on their management and decision-making process through the engagement of citizenry.

Introduction to Matrix Analysis and ApplicationsMatrices can be studied in different ways. They are a linear algebraic structure and have a topologi-cal/analytical aspect (for example, the normed space of matrices) and they also carry an order structure that is induced by positive semidefinite matrices. The interplay of these closely related structures is an essential feature of matrix analysis. This book explains these aspects of matrix analysis from a functional analysis point of view. After an introduction to matrices and functional analysis, it covers more advanced topics such as matrix monotone functions, matrix means, majorization and entropies. Several applications to quantum information are also included. Introduction to Matrix Analysis and Applications is appropri-ate for an advanced graduate course on matrix analysis, particularly aimed at studying quantum information.
