Description:
A decision support system for integrated river basin management of the German part of the Elbe river basin (Elbe-DSS) is currently under development. It considers water quantity, chemical quality, and ecological status of surface waters. User needs were identified and refined by repeated consultation of water managers. A list of management objectives, measures, and external scenarios emerged, which was taken as the basis for the DSS development. A comprehensive system analysis was carried out to meet the various spatial and temporal scales when dealing with hydrologic, ecologic, economic, and social aspects related to water quantity and quality. System diagrams for the catchments and the river network were constructed. They describe the properties, processes, and data influencing the water flow and substance load. One model for the calculation of the long-term nutrient discharges in 132 sub-catchments from non-point sources, one simulation model for wastewater pathways (point sources) and aquatic fate assessment, and one model for hydrological dynamics were selected for integration into the Elbe-DSS. The interaction of management objectives, external scenarios of climate, agro-economic and demographic change, and selected measures to achieve the desired state of good water quantity and quality is investigated.

Coding Approaches to Fault Tolerance in Combinational and Dynamic Systems (The Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science) Feature

Coding Approaches to Fault Tolerance in Combinational and Dynamic Systems describes coding approaches for designing fault-tolerant systems, i.e., systems that exhibit structured redundancy that enables them to distinguish between correct and incorrect results or between valid and invalid states. Since redundancy is expensive and counter-intuitive to the traditional notion of system design, the book focuses on resource-efficient methodologies that avoid excessive use of redundancy by exploiting the algorithmic/dynamic structure of a particular combinational or dynamic system. The first part of Coding Approaches to Fault Tolerance in Combinational and Dynamic Systems focuses on fault-tolerant combinational systems providing a review of von Neumann's classical work on Probabilistic Logics (including some more recent work on noisy gates) and describing the use of arithmetic coding and algorithm-based fault-tolerant schemes in algebraic settings. The second part of the book focuses on fault tolerance in dynamic systems. Coding Approaches to Fault Tolerance in Combinational and Dynamic Systems also discusses how, in a dynamic system setting, one can relax the traditional assumption that the error-correcting mechanism is fault-free by using distributed error correcting mechanisms. The final chapter presents a methodology for fault diagnosis in discrete event systems that are described by Petri net models; coding techniques are used to quickly detect and identify failures. From the Foreword: "Hadjicostis has significantly expanded the setting to processes occurring in more general algebraic and dynamic systems... The book responds to the growing need to handle faults in complex digital chips and complex networked systems, and to consider the effects of faults at the design stage rather than afterwards." George Verghese, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Coding Approaches to Fault Tolerance in Combinational and Dynamic Systems will be of interest to both researchers and practitioners in the area of fault tolerance, systems design and control.

Sizing and Estimating Software in Practice: Making Mkii Function Points Work (International Software Engineering) Feature

Measurement of factors, such as product size, is crucial for effective software development and function points, particularly the Mk II function points. This book focuses primarily on the practical use and application of function points, rather than the theory, guiding the reader in an accessible way through each stage of the process and aiming to bring the subject to a wide audience. The book addresses an area of growing interest and importance and is designed to be used at a number of levels: reference, overview and tutorial. To the latter's end it includes case studies and questions.

From the author: Most policy debates are fought largely with volleys of ideological slogans rather than evaluations of the costs and benefits arising from alternative proposals. The failure to measure costs and benefits creates a vacuum, rendering the political process more susceptible to manipulation by special interests. A lack of information regarding costs and benefits can also inhibit negotiations for mutually beneficial compromises. The failure to employ cost benefit analysis arises from the expense and time involved in measuring complicated phenomena. In addition, when decision makers do employ cost benefit analysis, they often omit significant gains and losses due to difficulties encountered in collecting information. In order to remedy these difficulties policy makers must make better use of computer software, which is currently being developed.
