Bringing together over sixty pre-modern Chinese primary sources on same-sex desire in English translation, Homoeroticism in Imperial China is an important addition to the growing field of the comparative history of sexuality and provides a window onto the continuous cultural relevance of same-sex desire in Chinese history.

Negotiating what can be a challenging area for both specialists and non-specialists alike, this sourcebook provides:

An authoritative and well organised guide and introduction to the original Chinese sources, this sourcebook covers histories and philosophers, poetry, drama (including two complete plays), fiction (including four complete short stories and full chapters from longer novels) and miscellanies. Each of these sections are organised chronologically, and as well as the general introduction, short introductions are provided for each genre and source.

Revealing what is a remarkably sophisticated and complex literary tradition, Homoeroticism in Imperial China is an essential sourcebook for students and scholars of Imperial Chinese history and culture and sexuality studies.

Yorick Wilks is a central figure in the fields of Natural Language Processing and Artificial Intelligence. His influence extends to many areas and includes contributions to Machines Translation, word sense disambiguation, dialogue modeling and Information Extraction.

This book celebrates the work of Yorick Wilks in the form of a selection of his papers which are intended to reflect the range and depth of his work. The volume accompanies a Festschrift which celebrates his contribution to the fields of Computational Linguistics and Artificial Intelligence. The papers include early work carried out at Cambridge University, descriptions of groundbreaking work on Machine Translation and Preference Semantics as well as more recent works on belief modeling and computational semantics. The selected papers reflect Yorick’s contribution to both practical and theoretical aspects of automatic language processing.

Das Buch beschreibt – erstmalig in deutscher Übersetzung – die Grundlagen von Kanban, ConWIP und POLCA. Es ist das erste Werk, das ein kartenbasiertes Steuerungssystem für komplexe Auftragsfertigungen präsentiert – COBACABANA.

In vielen Fällen sind auftretende Steuerungsprobleme und gewählte Lösungen nicht richtig aufeinander abgestimmt. Deshalb unterscheidet sich dieses Buch vom typischen Vorgehen. Zunächst werden die Eigenschaften typischer Probleme in Produktions- und Dienstleistungsunternehmen skizziert und die Grundlage für eine Problemdiagnose geschaffen. Anschließend werden vier alternative kartenbasierte Steuerungssysteme (Kanban, ConWIP, POLCA, COBACABANA) zur Bewältigung der Steuerungsprobleme vorgestellt. Die Schätzung von Fälligkeitsterminen oder Lieferfristen bildet eine Erweiterung des Anwendungsbereiches kartenbasierter Systeme.

Dieses Buch ist ein praktischer Leitfaden, der bei der Suche nach der passenden Lösung eines speziellen Steuerungsproblems wirkungsvoll unterstützt. Im Anhang findet sich eine anschauliche Zusammenfassung für jedes System zum Nachschlagen.
