This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 21st International Symposium on Logic-Based Program Synthesis and Transformation, LOPSTR 2011, held in Odense, Denmark in July 2011. The 6 revised full papers presented together with 8 additional papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 28 submissions. Among the topics covered are specification, synthesis, verification, analysis, optimization, specialization, security, certification, applications and tools, program/model manipulation, and transformation techniques for any programming language paradigm.
We propose a program specialization technique for locally stratified CLP(Z)
programs, that is, logic programs with linear constraints over the set Z of the
integer numbers. For reasons of efficiency our technique makes use of a
relaxation from ...
Operations research originated during World War II with the military's need for a scientific method of providing executives with a quantitative decision-making basis. This text explores strategical kinematics, tactical analysis, gunnery and bombardment problems, more.
It is the prerogative and responsibility of the executive officer to add these factors
to the quantitative basis provided by the operations research group, to reach the
final decision. The task of the operations research worker is to present the ...
The book covers the standard models and techniques used in decision making in organizations. The main emphasis of the book is on modeling business-related scenarios and the generation of decision alternatives. Fully solved examples from many areas are used to illustrate the main concepts without getting bogged down in technical details. The book presents an approach to operations research that is heavily based on modeling and makes extensive use of sensitivity analyses. It is a result of many years of combined teaching experience of the authors.The second edition adds new material on multicriteria optimization, postman problems, Lagrangian relaxation, cutting planes, machine scheduling, and Markov chains. Support material is found on a free website and includes some algorithms, additional fully solved problems and slides for instructors.
Since the 1960s, operations research (or, alternatively, management science)
has become an indispensable tool in scientific management. In simple words, its
goal on the strategic and tactical levels is to aid in decision making and, on the ...
"Based on extensive research in Egypt, this powerful, deeply disturbing ethnography causes readers to question commonly held assumptions about the organ transplant enterprise. Hamdy, acutely sensitive to the destructive forces of extreme poverty, argues against an ethics of codified rules whether religious or secular, and for a flexible bioethics situated in the historical, socio/economic and religious realities of Egyptians' daily life."--Margaret Lock, co-author of An Anthropology of Biomedicine “This is the best ethnography yet available on Islamic ethical reasoning and medical practice. Hamdy presents a truly sophisticated and nuanced portrayal of the organ transplant debate in Egypt and its larger implications for the Middle East and medicine.” --John Bowen, author of A New Anthropology of Islam “Our Bodies Belong to God is a sensitive and original exploration of how religious ethics inform the practice of medicine for doctors, patients and policy makers alike. This will be read widely in medical anthropology and the field of ethics.” --Saba Mahmood, author of Politics of Piety: The Islamic Revival and the Feminist Subject
Taha Hussein, one of the leading figures of the nahda, whose autobiography The
Days (al-Ayam) has become one of the best-known works of modern Arabic
literature, suffered from trachoma as a child in a poor Egyptian village. When the
