Book SynopsisCreate an IT strategy for your company with this book.In seven consecutive steps, this book presents the development of an IT strategy for manufacturing companies with the possibility of practical implementation using ready-made worksheets. It looks at all the issues relevant to an IT strategy, from deriving the IT strategy from the corporate strategy to creating the application and sourcing strategy. The role of IT in the company and the role of the CIO are examined in detail, and the demand/supply model is presented in detail as a structural organisation. In this book, the reader learns how to transfer the IT strategy into a roadmap for implementation, how to use a portfolio to control the projects and how to implement and control the goals of the IT strategy with a specially developed IT strategy cockpit. The second edition takes greater account of digitalisationThis second edition focuses on manufacturing companies in order to take into account the industry focus of any IT strategy. It also considers the distinction from digitalisation and digitalisation strategies and contains additional explanations on agile methods, DevOps as well as bi-modal IT structures. As a result, the existing 7-step concept for developing an IT strategy has become more focused and has taken on the current issues of IT and digitalisation, which continue to develop at a rapid pace.In terms of content, the book on creating IT strategies focuses on the following areas:- Fundamentals of IT strategy as well as differentiation from a digitalisation strategy.- Reasons for an IT strategy- As-is analysis of IT- Analysis of the corporate strategy- IT application strategy- Sourcing strategy- IT organisation and IT governance- Practical implementation: budgeting, IT roadmap and IT project portfolio- Monitoring and control of the IT strategy with the IT strategy cockpit The author primarily addresses CIOs and IT managers of medium-sized to large companies and groups in the manufacturing industry. In addition, the book is suitable for the following target groups:- IT staff, IT controlling and IT management level employees.- IT management consultants- CFOs, CEOs, managing directors and board members of manufacturing companiesTable of Contents

Book SynopsisClustering is an important unsupervised classification technique where data points are grouped such that points that are similar in some sense belong to the same cluster. Cluster analysis is a complex problem as a variety of similarity and dissimilarity measures exist in the literature.This is the first book focused on clustering with a particular emphasis on symmetry-based measures of similarity and metaheuristic approaches. The aim is to find a suitable grouping of the input data set so that some criteria are optimized, and using this the authors frame the clustering problem as an optimization one where the objectives to be optimized may represent different characteristics such as compactness, symmetrical compactness, separation between clusters, or connectivity within a cluster. They explain the techniques in detail and outline many detailed applications in data mining, remote sensing and brain imaging, gene expression data analysis, and face detection.The book will be useful to graduate students and researchers in computer science, electrical engineering, system science, and information technology, both as a text and as a reference book. It will also be useful to researchers and practitioners in industry working on pattern recognition, data mining, soft computing, metaheuristics, bioinformatics, remote sensing, and brain imaging.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:“The book focuses on emerging metaheuristic approaches to unsupervised classification, with an emphasis on a symmetry-based definition of similarity. … I found this book very appealing. I also thought of it as very valuable for my preoccupations towards the real-world application of unsupervised classification to medical imaging. I thus believe that, when reading this book, junior as well as experienced researchers will find many new challenging theoretical and practical ideas.” (Catalin Stoean, zbMATH, Vol. 1276, 2014)“The book views clustering as a (multiobjective) optimization problem and tackles it with metaheuristics algorithms. More interestingly, the authors of this book propose the exploitation of the concepts of point and line symmetry to define new distances to be used in clustering techniques. … researchers in the field will surely appreciate it as a good reference on the use of the symmetry notion in clustering.” (Nicola Di Mauro, Computing Reviews, July, 2013)Table of ContentsChap. 1 Introduction.- Chap. 2 Some Single- and Multiobjective Optimization Techniques.- Chap. 3 SimilarityMeasures.- Chap. 4 Clustering Algorithms.- Chap. 5 Point Symmetry Based Distance Measures and their Applications to Clustering.- Chap. 6 A Validity Index Based on Symmetry: Application to Satellite Image Segmentation.- Chap. 7 Symmetry Based Automatic Clustering.- Chap. 8 Some Line Symmetry Distance Based Clustering Techniques.- Chap. 9 Use of Multiobjective Optimization for Data Clustering.- References.- Index.

Book SynopsisOur preferences determine how we act and think, but exactly what the mechanics are and how they work is a central cause of concern in many disciplines. This book uses techniques from modern logics of information flow and action to develop a unified new theory of what preference is and how it changes. The theory emphasizes reasons for preference, as well as its entanglement with our beliefs. Moreover, the book provides dynamic logical systems which describe the explicit triggers driving preference change, including new information, suggestions, and commands. In sum, the book creates new bridges between many fields, from philosophy and computer science to economics, linguistics, and psychology. For the experienced scholar access to a large body of recent literature is provided and the novice gets a thorough introduction to the action and techniques of dynamic logic.Trade Review"This is an excellent book. It offers a clear and concise overview of dynamic preference logic and logics that can reason about both beliefs and preferences. Fenrong has managed to provide an accessible and comprehensive overview of recent work in this area, including very interesting connections with deontic logic and game theory. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in using logical models to reason about rational agents." Eric Pacuit, Tilburg Center for Logic and Philosophy of Science, The Netherlands"Reasoning about Preference Dynamics is an innovative and unusually well-written account of human preferences and how they change. It is a must for anyone interested in the dynamics of preferences." Sven Ove Hansson, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden"This nice book presents a survey of preference logics and preference dynamics, very much state-of-the-art, and Fenrong Liu is extremely well-informed about the relevant literature. She has a remarkable talent on how to restrict herself to the essentials, in order to convey the message and produce something very readable."
