Abstract

Hermann Haken (born 1927) is one of the “fathers” of the quantum-mechanical laser theory, formulated between 1962 and 1966, in strong competition with American researchers. Later on, he created Synergetics, the science of cooperation in multicomponent systems. The book concentrates on the development of his scientific work during the first thirty-five years of his career. In 1970 he and his doctoral student Robert Graham were able to show that the laser is an example of a nonlinear system far from thermal equilibrium that shows a phase-transition like behavior. Subsequently, this insight opened the way for the formulation of Synergetics. Synergetics is able to explain, how very large systems show the phenomenon of self-organization that can be mathematically described by only very few order parameters. The results of Haken’s research were published in two seminal books Synergetics (1977) and Advanced Synergetics (1983). After the year 1985 Haken concentrated his research on the macroscopic foundation of Synergetics. This led him towards the application of synergetic principles in medicine, cognitive research and, finally, in psychology. A comprehensive bibliography of Hermann Haken’s publications (nearly 600 numbers) is included in the book. .

Abstract

“Propagation, which looks at spreading in complex networks, can be seen from many viewpoints; it is undesirable, or desirable, controllable, the mechanisms generating that propagation can be the topic of interest, but in the end all depends on the setting. This book covers leading research on a wide spectrum of propagation phenomenon and the techniques currently used in its modelling, prediction, analysis and control. Fourteen papers range over topics including epidemic models, models for trust inference, coverage strategies for networks, vehicle flow propagation, bio-inspired routing algorithms, P2P botnet attacks and defences, fault propagation in gene-cellular networks, malware propagation for mobile networks, information propagation in crisis situations, financial contagion in interbank networks, and finally how to maximize the spread of influence in social networks. The compendium will be of interest to researchers, those working in social networking, communications and finance and is aimed at providing a base point for further studies on current research. Above all, by bringing together research from such diverse fields, the book seeks to cross-pollinate ideas, and give the reader a glimpse of the breath of current research.”.

Abstract

Die Beiträge dieses Bandes diskutieren aus den Perspektiven der Medienwissenschaft, Kulturwissenschaft, Soziologie und Kunstgeschichte kulturelle Konzepte von Räumen, Identitäten sowie Fragen der Re/Präsentation. Die aktuelle Beschäftigung mit dem Thema ›Re/Präsentation‹ setzt die Untersuchung der Geschichte und Bedeutung des Begriffs voraus, insbesondere seine Beziehung zu den Kategorien Subjekt und Kultur sowie den hiermit zusammenhängenden Handlungsformen. Thematisch steht der Diskurs über Re/Präsentation daher im Zusammenhang mit Fragen zur Hybridität von Räumen und Identitäten unter Berücksichtigung zeitgenössischer Mediennutzungen und der Veränderung der Kategorie des Raumes in seiner kulturellen, sozialen und geographisch-politischen Bedeutung. »Empfehlenswert für alle, die sich für eine transdisziplinäre Sichtweise auf Raum und Identität interessieren und Anregungen finden wollen, wie diese zum Verständnis von kulturellen Veränderungsprozessen beitragen können.« Anna Beck, KULT_online, 19 (2009)
