| Title | Managing Smart Cities : Sustainability and Resilience Through Effective Management |
| Author(s) | Visvizi, Anna;Troisi, Orlando |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer International Publishing, 2022. |
| Description | XI, 299 p. 69 illus., 60 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book adopts the managerial perspective to the study of smart cities. As such, this book is a necessary addition to the existing body of literature on smart cities. The chapters included in this book prove the case that transformation of cities to smart cities is a function of effective and efficient management practices implemented at diverse levels of smart cities. While advances in information and communication technology (ICT) are crucial, it is the ability to apply ICT consciously and efficiently that drives the transformation of cities to smart cities in a manner conducive to cities??? sustainability and resilience. The book covers three sets of interconnected topics: Management and decision-making for urban design and infrastructure development Management and decision-making in context of smart cities development Ways of promoting and ensuring participation, representation and co-creation in smart cities These three groups of topics offer a great opportunity to acquire a clear, direct, and practice-driven knowledge and understanding of how effective management allows ICT-enhanced tools and applications to change smart cities, possibly making them smarter |

| Title | Chaos, Complexity and Leadership 2020 : Application of Nonlinear Dynamics from Interdisciplinary Perspective |
| Author(s) | Er??etin, ??efika ??ule;A????kal??n, ??uay Nilhan;Vajzovi??, Emir |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2021. |
| Description | XII, 315 p. 43 illus., 18 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book analyzes a range of new developments in various fields concerning the concepts of chaos and complexity theory. The proceedings of the 7th International Symposium on Chaos, Complexity and Leadership feature newly developed concepts involving various research methodologies for identifying chaos and complexity in different fields of the sciences and leadership. In addition, it explores chaotic and complex systems from all fields of knowledge in order to stake a claim of prevalence of compatibility between knowledge fields. Particular emphasis is placed on exploring non-linearity in order to open a discussion on new approaches to and perspectives on chaos, complexity and leadership. Readers will find coverage of important events that have recently taken place in our world, regardless of whether they were social, political, economic or scientific in nature. The book explores diverse aspects of and issues related to the effects of chaos and complexity in the world; discusses the application of nonlinear dynamics in order to arrive at transformational policies; and offers projections of tomorrow???s world using an interdisciplinary approach. Though primarily intended for readers with an interest in nonlinear science, thanks to its focus on the application of chaos and complexity to other disciplines, the book appeals to a broad readership |

| Abstract Note | these. In this book, we appropriate their conception of research-technology, and ex?? tend it to many other phenomena which are less stable and less localized in time and space than the Zeeman/Cotton situation. In the following pages, we use the concept for instances where research activities are orientated primarily toward technologies which facilitate both the production of scientific knowledge and the production of other goods. In particular, we use the tenn for instances where instruments and meth?? ods?? traverse numerous geographic and institutional boundaries; that is, fields dis?? tinctly different and distant from the instruments' and methods' initial focus. We suggest that instruments such as the ultra-centrifuge, and the trajectories of the men who devise such artefacts, diverge in an interesting way from other fonns of artefacts and careers in science, metrology and engineering with which students of science and technology are more familiar. The instrument systems developed by re?? search-technologists strike us as especially general, open-ended, and flexible. When tailored effectively, research-technology instruments potentially fit into many niches and serve a host of unrelated applications. Their multi-functional character distin?? guishes them from many other devices which are designed to address specific, nar?? rowly defined problems in a circumscribed arena in and outside of science. Research?? technology activities link universities, industry, public and private research or me?? trology establishments, instrument-making finns, consulting companies, the military, and metrological agencies. Research-technology practitioners do not follow the career path of the traditional academic or engineering professional |

| Title | Econophysics of Systemic Risk and Network Dynamics |
| Author(s) | Frederic Abergel (ed.);Bikas K. Chakrabarti (ed.);Anirban Chakraborti (ed.);Asim Ghosh (ed.) |
| Publication | Milano, Springer, 2013. |
| Description | VIII, 300 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The primary goal of the book is to present the ideas and research findings of active researchers such as physicists, economists, mathematicians and financial engineers working in the field of Econophysics, who have undertaken the task of modeling and analyzing systemic risk, network dynamics and other topics. Of primary interest in these studies is the aspect of systemic risk, which has long been identified as a potential scenario in which financial institutions trigger a dangerous contagion mechanism, spreading from the financial economy to the real economy. This type of risk, long confined to the monetary market, has spread considerably in the recent past, culminating in the subprime crisis of 2008. As such, understanding and controlling systemic risk has become an extremely important societal and economic challenge. The Econophys-Kolkata VI conference proceedings are dedicated to addressing a number of key issues involved. Several leading researchers in these fields report on their recent work and also review contemporary literature on the subject |

| Title | Econophysics of Agent-Based Models |
| Author(s) | Frederic Abergel (ed.);Hideaki Aoyama (ed.);Bikas K. Chakrabarti (ed.);Anirban Chakraborti (ed.);Ghosh, Asim |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2014. |
| Description | VIII, 302 p. 91 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The primary goal of this book is to present the research findings and conclusions of physicists, economists, mathematicians and financial engineers working in the field of "Econophysics" who have undertaken agent-based modelling, comparison with empirical studies and related investigations. Most standard economic models assume the existence of the representative agent, who is ???perfectly rational??? and applies the utility maximization principle when taking action. One reason for this is the desire to keep models mathematically tractable: no tools are available to economists for solving non-linear models of heterogeneous adaptive agents without explicit optimization. In contrast, multi-agent models, which originated from statistical physics considerations, allow us to go beyond the prototype theories of traditional economics involving the representative agent. This book is based on the Econophys-Kolkata VII Workshop, at which many such modelling efforts were presented. In the book, leading researchers in their fields report on their latest work, consider recent developments and review the contemporary literature |

| Title | Elementi di management dei programmi spaziali |
| Author(s) | Spagnulo, Marcello |
| Publication | Milano, Springer Milan, 2012. |
| Description | XVII, 265 pagg : online resource |
| Abstract Note | La realizzazione e il lancio nello spazio di satelliti o sonde attraverso missili o navette spaziali sono un esempio di attivit?? industriale di enorme complessit?? e di lungo periodo. Lo sviluppo di un programma spaziale prevede la realizzazione di vari sistemi costituenti: il segmento spaziale, cio?? i lanciatori per l???accesso allo Spazio, i satelliti o le sonde, le infrastrutture spaziali abitate da astronauti oppure robotizzate; e il segmento di terra che consente agli operatori sulla terra di controllare i sistemi nello spazio e di fruire delle applicazioni derivanti dal loro uso. Il settore ?? di per s?? peculiare dato l???ambiente extra-atmosferico ove si troveranno ad operare astronauti o sonde robotizzate, pertanto la manifattura dei sistemi spaziali ?? una pratica a met?? strada tra la scienza esatta e l???artigianato di elevatissima qualit??. Le metodologie e i processi realizzativi dei programmi spaziali hanno per?? avuto il pregio nel passato di costituire, sin dagli anni ???60, un modello di riferimento per altri settori industriali proprio a causa della loro unicit?? tecnologica e produttiva. E oggi le metodologie di gestione dei programmi spaziali sono standardizzate e consolidate. Gli elementi trattati in questo libro intendono avvicinare il lettore alle specificit?? gestionali della concezione, del finanziamento e della messa in essere di un programma spaziale, una tra le pi?? complesse attivit?? umane influenzate da fattori storici, scientifici, economici e politici |

| Title | Coping with the Complexity of Economics |
| Author(s) | Faggini, Marisa;Lux, Thomas |
| Publication | Milano, Springer Milan, 2009. |
| Description | XIV, 170 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The purpose of the science of complexity is to provide, if not a unified approach, at least useful tools to tackling complex problems in various scientific domains. Generally, complexity is considered a fundamental challenge to the reductionist approach in science as a whole and to its ideas of certainty and randomness. The overall behaviour of a complex system is different from and more than the sum of its parts. The behaviour of non-linear complex systems depends on the interaction (often with retroactive effects) among its constituent parts and not so much (or not only) on the characteristics of these parts themselves; the sum of the behaviour of single parts does not necessarily provide us with an explanation of the aggregate behaviour of a system. All this is true for economic systems. These are based on the activities of single economic agents. Each individual can obtain only partial knowledge that is focussed around its "world" (local information) and react to external shocks in different ways (local rationality). The aim of this book is to provide an overview to recent developments in theory and empirical research that view economic systems as complex phenomena whose aggregate dynamics can often not be inferred from its microscopic (microeconomic) building blocks. The collection of papers represented in this volume is dedicated to the memory of Massimo Salzano, who has been a fervent and eloquent advocate of the complexity approach. The contributions have been presented at a conference held to celebrate Massimo???s 60th birthday (Ecople -Economics: From Tradition of Complexity, Capri, 2-4 June, 2006), one year before he unexpectedly passed away in 2007 |

| Title | Encyclopedia of Complexity and Systems Science |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2009. |
| Description | eReference : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Encyclopedia of Complexity and Systems Science provides an authoritative single source for understanding and applying the concepts of complexity theory together with the tools and measures for analyzing complex systems in all fields of science and engineering. The science and tools of complexity and systems science include theories of self-organization, complex systems, synergetics, dynamical systems, turbulence, catastrophes, instabilities, nonlinearity, stochastic processes, chaos, neural networks, cellular automata, adaptive systems, and genetic algorithms. Examples of near-term problems and major unknowns that can be approached through complexity and systems science include: The structure, history and future of the universe; the biological basis of consciousness; the integration of genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics as systems biology; human longevity limits; the limits of computing; sustainability of life on earth; predictability, dynamics and extent of earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, and other natural disasters; the dynamics of turbulent flows; lasers or fluids in physics, microprocessor design; macromolecular assembly in chemistry and biophysics; brain functions in cognitive neuroscience; climate change; ecosystem management; traffic management; and business cycles. All these seemingly quite different kinds of structure formation have a number of important features and underlying structures in common. These deep structural similarities can be exploited to transfer analytical methods and understanding from one field to another. This unique work will extend the influence of complexity and system science to a much wider audience than has been possible to date |

| Title | Monte Carlo Simulation in Statistical Physics : An Introduction |
| Author(s) | Binder, Kurt;Heermann, Dieter W |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2010. |
| Description | XIV, 202 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Monte Carlo Simulation in Statistical Physics deals with the computer simulation of many-body systems in condensed-matter physics and related fields of physics, chemistry and beyond, to traffic flows, stock market fluctuations, etc.). Using random numbers generated by a computer, probability distributions are calculated, allowing the estimation of the thermodynamic properties of various systems. This book describes the theoretical background to several variants of these Monte Carlo methods and gives a systematic presentation from which newcomers can learn to perform such simulations and to analyze their results. The fifth edition covers Classical as well as Quantum Monte Carlo methods. Furthermore a new chapter on the sampling of free-energy landscapes has been added. To help students in their work a special web server has been installed to host programs and discussion groups (http://wwwcp.tphys.uni-heidelberg.de). Prof. Binder was awarded the Berni J. Alder CECAM Award for Computational Physics 2001 as well as the Boltzmann Medal in 2007. |
