Wittgenstein, Language and Information : "Back to the Rough Ground!"
This book is an extension of the discussions presented in Blair’s 1990 book "Language and Representation in Information Retrieval", which was selected as the "Best Information Science Book of the Year" by the American Society for Information Science (ASIS). That work stated that the Philosophy of Language had the best theory for understanding meaning in language, and within the Philosophy of Language, the work of philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein was found to be most perceptive. The success of that book provided an incentive to look more deeply into Wittgenstein’s philosophy of language, and how it can help us to understand how to represent the intellectual content of information. This is what the current title does, and by using this theory it creates a firm foundation for future Information Retrieval research.

Web Content Delivery
The concept of content delivery has become increasingly more important due to rapidly growing demands for efficient distribution and fast access of information from the Internet. The content can be diverse, ranging from HTML documents, images, multimedia streams, database tables to dynamically generated contents. Moreover, to facilitate ubiquitous information access, the varied network architectures and hardware devices can include broadband wired/fixed networks, bandwidth constrained wireless/mobile networks, powerful workstations/PCs, PDAs and cellular phones. The need to deliver quality information--given the nature of the content, network connections and client devices--introduces various challenges for content delivery technologies.
Web Communities : Analysis and Construction
Web community, defined as a set of Web-based documents with its own logical structure, is a flexible and efficient approach to support information retrieval and to implement various applications. Zhang and his co-authors explain how to construct and analyse Web communities based on information like Web document contents, hyperlinks, or user access logs. Their approaches combine results from Web search algorithms, Web clustering methods, and Web usage mining. They also detail the necessary preliminaries needed to understand the algorithms presented, and they discuss several successful existing applications. Researchers and students in information retrieval and Web search find in this all the necessary basics and methods to create and understand Web communities. Professionals developing Web applications will additionally benefit from the samples presented for their own designs and implementations.
Wayfinding, Consumption, and Air Terminal Design
Investigates how international air terminals organize passenger movement and generate spending. It offers a new understanding of how their architecture and artworks operate visually to guide people through the space and affect their behaviour. Draws upon numerous airport visits and interviews with architects and planners, as well as documents and articles that address these terminals’ development, construction, and renovations. The book establishes the main concerns of architects with respect to wayfinding strategies and analyzes how air terminal architecture, artworks, and interior design contribute to the airport’s operations.
Vite matematiche : Protagonisti del’ 900 da Hilbert a Wiles = Mathematical Lives : Twentieth-century protagonists from Hilbert to Wiles
Presenting famous mathematicians alongside others less known to the general public - from Hilbert to Gödel, from Turing to Nash, from De Giorgi to Wiles - the portraits collected in this volume show us characters with a strong personal charisma, with vast cultural interests, passionate about defending the importance of their research, sensitive to beauty, attentive to the social and political problems of their time. The result is a fresco that documents the centrality of mathematics in the culture, not only scientific but also philosophical, artistic and literary, of our time, in a continuous game of exchanges and references, correspondences and suggestions.
Visualizing the Semantic Web : XML-based Internet and Information Visualization
This pioneering book deals specifically with the visualization of the Second-Generation Web. Now in its second edition it has been completely revised and updated, and includes extensive new material. It focuses on key topics including: Visualization of semantic and structural information and metadata in the context of the emerging Semantic Web / Ontology-based information visualization and the use of graphically represented ontologies / Semantic visualizations using topic maps and graph techniques / Web Services, e-commerce and web search applications / Recommender systems for filtering and recommending on the Semantic Web / SVG and X3D as new XML-based languages for 2D and 3D visualisations / Methods used to construct and visualize high quality metadata and ontologies / Navigating and exploring XML documents using interactive multimedia interfaces / The use of semantic association networks as well as social networks on the Second-Generation Web / Semantically enhanced solutions for the medical community / Semantic-oriented use of existing visualization methods / The design of visual interfaces for e-commerce and information retrieval is currently a challenging area of practical web development.
Visualization in Science Education
Addresses key issues concerning visualization in the teaching and learning of science at any level in educational systems.It unites these with the practice of science education, particularly the ever-increasing use of computer-managed modelling packages, especially in chemistry. The first section explores the significance and intellectual standing of visualization. The second section shows how the skills of visualization have been developed practically in science education. This is followed by accounts of how the educational value of visualization has been integrated into university courses in physics, genomics, and geology. The fourth section documents experimental work on the classroom assessment of visualization. An endpiece summarises some of the research and development needed if the contribution of this set of universal skills is to be fully exploited at all levels and in all science subjects.
Victim-Offender Mediation with Youth Offenders in Europe: An Overview and Comparison of 15 Countries
This book documents the state of the art on Victim-Offender Mediation with youth offenders in 15 European nations.It provides an up-do date review of current theory and practice and presents a critical discussion of problems and benefits which may help guide future policy decisions and applications. The book informs both those who are interested in evaluating the current state of affairs of Victim-Offender Mediation with youth offenders in Europe, and those who would like to promote Victim-Offender Mediation in their own countries. The common format used in each chapter facilitates comparison across countries. Per country, five areas of investigation are explored and discussed: norms and legislation allowing for the implementation of victim-offender mediation programmes; values and theoretical frameworks of victim-offender mediation; organizational structure of victim-offender mediation services; professional characteristics of mediators; benefits, potential problems, and criticisms of current practice.
