This book celebrates the career of Pierre L’Ecuyer on the occasion of his 70th birthday. Pierre has made significant contributions to the fields of simulation, modeling, and operations research over the last 40 years. This book contains 20 chapters written by collaborators and experts in the field who, by sharing their latest results, want to recognize the lasting impact of Pierre’s work in their research area. The breadth of the topics covered reflects the remarkable versatility of Pierre's contributions, from deep theoretical results to practical and industry-ready applications. The Festschrift features article from the domains of Monte Carlo and quasi-Monte Carlo methods, Markov chains, sampling and low discrepancy sequences, simulation, rare events, graphics, finance, machine learning, stochastic processes, and tractability.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th IFIP/IEEE International Workshop on Distributed Systems: Operations and Management, DSOM 2003, held in Heidelberg, Germany in October 2002.The 20 revised full papers and 6 revised short papers presented together with a keynote paper were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 105 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on self-configuration, peer-to-peer management, self-optimization and performance management, utility management, self-protection and access control, manageability and instrumentation, and context-awareness.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second IEEE International Workshop on Self-Managed Networks, Systems, and Services, SelfMan 2006, held in Dublin, Ireland in June 2006. The 12 revised full papers presented together with 3 work-in-progress papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 51 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on middleware and infrastructure for self-management, peer-to-peer and overlay networks, self-adaptation, self-managed mobile systems, and networking.

This book presents the refereed proceedings of the Seventh International Conference on Monte Carlo and Quasi-Monte Carlo Methods in Scientific Computing, held in Ulm, Germany, in August 2006. The proceedings include carefully selected papers on many aspects of Monte Carlo and quasi-Monte Carlo methods and their applications. They also provide information on current research in these very active areas.

Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: A, California State University, East Bay (-), course: Research Methods and Communication, language: English, abstract: Throughout my life I heard the famous phrase "e;healthy body, healthy mind."e; Atleast in Germany this phrase is quite common. But is there really a relationship, or dopeople just say it? In this context some might argue that being physical active does notcontribute to the overall health at all. It is more what we eat that matters. They are right tosome extent. However, according to Chryss Cada, staying in shape is always a balancebetween exercise and nutrition (Cada, 2003). Both physical activity and a good dietcontribute to a healthy body and, according to the famous phrase, to a healthy mind. Tofind out if a healthy body really helps a student perform better academically I examinedwhat impact physical activity has on the academic success of students. I believe that thereis a positive relationship between physical activity and academic success. The literature is full of opinions that support my assumption. For example,Douglas H. Heath, a professor emeritus of the Psychology Department of HaverfordCollege, states that success in general is caused by many factors such as how manyhobbies, interests, and jobs a student has, or who is active in extracurricular activities(Becker, 1992). A more relevant statement to this topic comes from Jim MacKinnon, theathletic director at Starpoint, who points out that "e;Kids who go through the athleticprogram learn discipline, and that carries over into their studies. It carries over not onlyinto academics; it carries over into your life."e; (Dicesare, 2002) Sheila Boles, HoggardsHigh School athletics director, even says: "e;I don't think there's anything that can teachyou more about life than athletics success and failure and how to handle them bothgraciously."e; (Grady, 2002) Many other authors share this opinion. They contribute thatathletes have higher GPA?s (Hickman, 2002), or are more likely to find themselves insupervisory roles in the later working environment than their non-athletic peers(Schouten, 2002). Sport programs even help students develop self-confidence, timemanagement skills and interpersonal communication (Molbeck, 2003). Furthermore,physical activity may strengthen competitive drive in non-athletic areas, boost selfconfidence, and reinforce the discipline necessary for academic success (Robst, 2000). [...]

Das modulare Umweltmanagement (MUM) ist vor allem für die mittelständische Industrie ein ideales Verfahren zum sukzessiven Aufbau eines betrieblichen Umweltmanagements. In seiner zukunftsweisenden Perspektive kann es stufenweise und überschaubar in ein Umwelt-Audit münden. Das stufenweise Vorgehen ermöglicht dabei eine Adaption an die jeweiligen Gegebenheiten eines Betriebes und erlaubt zudem durch fortwährende Rückübertragung und Kontrolle der Ergebnisse eine ständige Optimierung des Gesamtprozesses.

Die Kurzgeschichte um Harry Frank und seinen Assistenten beschreibt, wie der Assistent einerGehirnoperation unterzogen wird. Plötzlich findet er sich im Körper eines Schäferhundes wieder. Harry Frank ist nicht nur auf der Suche nach einem menschlich wirkenden Gorilla, der Straftaten ausführt, sondern auch nach seinem Assistenten. Im Weg steht nur ein verrückter Wissenschaftler.
