This LNCS 13453 constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 48th International Workshop on Graph-Theoretic Concepts in Computer Science, WG 2022.The 32 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 96 submissions.

This textbook offers a comprehensive introduction to relational (SQL) and non-relational (NoSQL) databases. The authors thoroughly review the current state of database tools and techniques and examine upcoming innovations.In the first five chapters, the authors analyze in detail the management, modeling, languages, security, and architecture of relational databases, graph databases, and document databases. Moreover, an overview of other SQL- and NoSQL-based database approaches is provided. In addition to classic concepts such as the entity and relationship model and its mapping in SQL database schemas, query languages or transaction management, other aspects for NoSQL databases such as non-relational data models, document and graph query languages (MQL, Cypher), the Map/Reduce procedure, distribution options (sharding, replication) or the CAP theorem (Consistency, Availability, Partition Tolerance) are explained.This 2nd English edition offers a new in-depth introduction to document databases with a method for modeling document structures, an overview of the document-oriented MongoDB query language MQL as well as security and architecture aspects. The topic of database security is newly introduced as a separate chapter and analyzed in detail with regard to data protection, integrity, and transactions. Texts on data management, database programming, and data warehousing and data lakes have been updated. In addition, the book now explains the concepts of JSON, JSON schema, BSON, index-free neighborhood, cloud databases, search engines and time series databases.The book includes more than 100 tables, examples and illustrations, and each chapter offers a list of resources for further reading. It conveys an in-depth comparison of relational and non-relational approaches and shows how to undertake development for big data applications. This way, it benefits students and practitioners working across the broad field of data science and applied information technology.

To enhance marketing analytics, approximate and inductive reasoning can be applied to handle uncertainty in individual marketing models. This book demonstrates the use of fuzzy logic for classification and segmentation in marketing campaigns. Based on practical experience as a data analyst and on theoretical studies as a researcher, the author explains fuzzy classification, inductive logic and the concept of likelihood and introduces a blend of Bayesian and Fuzzy Set approaches, allowing reasonings on fuzzy sets that are derived by inductive logic. By application of this theory, the book guides the reader towards a gradual segmentation of customers which can enhance return on targeted marketing campaigns. The algorithms presented can be used for visualization, selection and prediction. The book shows how fuzzy logic can complement customer analytics by introducing fuzzy target groups. This book is for researchers, analytics professionals, data miners and students interested in fuzzy classification for marketing analytics.

Wenn Sie wissen wollen, wie Sie Git richtig implementieren und welche Regeln Sie für die Zusammenarbeit aufstellen sollten, dann sind Sie hier richtig. Dieses Buch ist eine Einführung in das effektive Arbeiten mit Git - geeignet sowohl für Berufseinsteiger als auch für erfahrene Entwickler, die zu Git wechseln.

Graph drawing comprises all aspects of visualizing structural relations between objects. The range of topics dealt with extends from graph theory, graph algorithms, geometry, and topology to visual languages, visual perception, and information visualization, and to computer-human interaction and graphics design. This monograph gives a systematic overview of graph drawing and introduces the reader gently to the state of the art in the area. The presentation concentrates on algorithmic aspects, with an emphasis on interesting visualization problems with elegant solutions. Much attention is paid to a uniform style of writing and presentation, consistent terminology, and complementary coverage of the relevant issues throughout the 10 chapters.This tutorial is ideally suited as an introduction for newcomers to graph drawing. Ambitioned practitioners and researchers active in the area will find it a valuable source of reference and information.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 14th International Symposium on Graph Drawing, GD 2006, held in Karlsruhe, Germany. The 33 revised full papers and 5 revised short papers presented together with 2 invited talks, 1 system demo, 2 poster papers address all current aspects in graph drawing, ranging from foundational and methodological issues to applications for various classes of graphs in a variety of fields.

Erstmals wird in diesem Buch der Versuch unternommen, die Beiträge klassischer Disziplinen wie Genetik, Enzymologie, Mikrobiologie, Biotechnik, Toxikologie, Informatik und Ingenieurwissenschaften in einen neuen Wirkzusammenhang zu stellen und dadurch zu einem erweiterten Arbeitsansatz in der biologischen Schadstoffbehandlung zu kommen. Die künstlich beschleunigte Evolution von Mikroorganismen mit dem patentierten ArtEv-Verfahren setzt die überhaupt erreichbare biologische Potenz von Mikroorganismen frei. Sie weist damit der immanenten Fähigkeit lebendiger Organismen zur Selbstoptimierung den ihr gebührenden Stellenwert zu.
