The sheer computing power of modern information technology is changing the face of research not just in science, technology and mathematics, but in humanities and cultural studies too. Recent decades have seen a major shift both in attitudes and deployment of computers, which are now vital and highly effective tools in disciplines where they were once viewed as elaborate typewriters. This revealing volume details the vast array of computing applications that researchers in the humanities now have recourse to, including the dissemination of scholarly information through virtual ‘co-laboratories’, data retrieval, and the modeling of complex processes that contribute to our natural and cultural heritage. One key area covered in this book is the versatility of computers in presenting images and graphics, which is transforming the analysis of data sets and archaeological reconstructions alike.   The papers published here are grouped into three broad categories that cover mathematical and computational methods, research developments in information systems, and a detailed portrayal of ongoing work on documenting, restoring and presenting cultural monuments including the temples in Pompeii and the Banteay Chhmar temples of the Angkorian period in present-day Cambodia. Originally presented at a research workshop in Heidelberg, Germany, they reflect the rapidly developing identity of computational humanities as an interdisciplinary field in its own right, as well as demonstrating the breadth of perspectives in this young and vibrant research area.

This judicious selection of articles combines mathematical and numerical methods to apply parameter estimation and optimum experimental design in a range of contexts. These include fields as diverse as biology, medicine, chemistry, environmental physics, image processing and computer vision. The material chosen was presented at a multidisciplinary workshop on parameter estimation held in 2009 in Heidelberg. The contributions show how indispensable efficient methods of applied mathematics and computer-based modeling can be to enhancing the quality of interdisciplinary research.   The use of scientific computing to model, simulate, and optimize complex processes has become a standard methodology in many scientific fields, as well as in industry. Demonstrating that the use of state-of-the-art optimization techniques in a number of research areas has much potential for improvement, this book provides advanced numerical methods and the very latest results for the applications under consideration.

This book should illustrate the impact of collaborations between mathematics and industry. It is both an initiative of and coordinated by the German Committee for Mathematical Modeling, Simulation and Optimization (KoMSO). This publication aims at comparing the state of the art at the intersection of mathematics and industry, as well as the demands for future development of science and technology in Germany and beyond. Each contribution addresses the importance of mathematics in innovation by means of introducing a successful cooperation with an industrial partner in order to display the wide range of industrial sectors where the use of mathematics is the crucial factor for success, but also show the variety of mathematical areas involved in these activities. The success stories introduced in this volume will be supplemented by appropriate illustrations. It is the goal of this publication to highlight cooperation between mathematics and industry as a two-way technology and knowledge transfer, providing industry with solutions and mathematics with new research topics and inspiring new methodologies.
