Methodology of Complex Activity

This book presents the methodology of complex activity with a set of interconnected mathematical models that describe the processes of technology design, adoption and use.

Nonlinear Dynamics and Complex Systems describes chaos, fractal, and stochasticities within celestial mechanics, financial systems, and biochemical systems. Part I discusses methods and applications in celestial systems and new results in such areas as low energy impact dynamics, low-thrust planar trajectories to the moon and earth-to-halo transfers in the sun, earth and moon.

Conference Proceedings is a culmination of research results, papers and the theory related to all the three major areas of computing, i.e., Theoretical Computer Science, Systems and Software, and Intelligent Systems. Helps budding researchers, graduates in the areas of Computer Science, Information science, Electronics, Telecommunication, Instrumentation, Networking to take forward their research work based on the reviewed results in the paper, by mutual interaction through E-mail contacts in the proceedings.

Without standardized construction elements such as nuts, bolts, bearings, beams, resistors and the like, the design of physical equipment is hopelessly inefficient, and engineers are continually bogged down with re-designing these elements over and over again. The same can be said for the domain of ideas and performance requirements. Only through a process of standardization of the corresponding functional elements will systems engineering truly live up to its potential of increased efficiency and quality.

This study tries, through a systematic and historical analysis of the concept of critical authority, to write a history of literary criticism from the end of the 17th to the end of the 18th century that not only takes the discursive construction of its (self)representation into account, but also the social and economic conditions of its practice.
