The Book of Swindles, a seventeenth-century story collection, offers a panoramic guide to the art of deception. Ostensibly a manual for self-protection, it presents a tableau of criminal ingenuity in late Ming China. Each story comes with commentary by the author, who expounds a moral lesson while also speaking as a connoisseur of the swindle.

Forecasting is one of the most important activities that form the basis for strategic, tactical, and operational decisions in all business organizations. Recently, neural networks have emerged as an important tool for business forecasting. There are considerable interests and applications in forecasting using neural networks. This provides for researchers and practitioners some recent advances in applying neural networks to business forecastin...

This monograph studies the logical aspects of domains as used in de­ notational semantics of programming languages. Frameworks of domain logics are introduced, these serve as foundations for systematic derivations of proof systems from denotational semantics of programming languages. Any proof system so derived is guaranteed to agree with denotational se­ mantics in the sense that the denotation of any program coincides with the set of asserti...

It contains important and detailed information about the state-of-the-art theories, methodologies, the way of working and re...

The collapse of Barings Bank, the oldest merchant bank in Britain, was a shock to the financial industry throughout the world. This volume is the first organized material to explain how and why this established bank with a history of 233 years bankrupted within a few days. It explains in a structured and easytounderstand manner the concept of financial derivatives, with an analysis of futures and options and their market. This is a practical r...

Benefiting from Thermal and Mechanical Simulation in Micro-Electronics presents papers from the first international conference on this topic, EuroSimE2000. For the first time, people from the electronics industry, research institutes, software companies and universities joined together to discuss present and possible future thermal and mechanical related problems and challenges in micro-electronics, the state-of-the-art methodologies for therm...

Focusing on discrete-time-scale Markov chains, the contents of this book are an outgrowth of some of the authors' recent research.  The motivation stems from existing and emerging applications in optimization and control of complex hybrid Markovian systems in manufacturing, wireless communication, and financial engineering.  Much effort in this book is devoted to designing system models arising from these applications, analyzing them via analy...

This book gives a systematic treatment of singularly perturbed systems that naturally arise in control and optimization, queueing networks, manufacturing systems, and financial engineering. It presents results on asymptotic expansions of solutions of Komogorov forward and backward equations, properties of functional occupation measures, exponential upper bounds, and functional limit results for Markov chains with weak and strong interactions. ...
