Curb space management in urban mobility system
(Springer Nature, 2019)Curb space management and traffic flow are two important elements of the transportation system that interact with each other and affect the overall system performance. Moreover, the growth of new mobility operators and ... -
A debate over return migration: the case of Turkish guest workers in Germany
(2016-03)This chapter aims to provide an overview of the return migration of Turkish guest workers and their family members. While doing so, it also elaborates on the theoretical and conceptual discussions of the notion of return ... -
Design of bio-joint shaped knee exoskeleton assisting for walking and sit-to-stance
(Springer Nature, 2019)In this study, a bio-joint shaped knee joint exoskeleton is presented. This design is meant for avoiding misalignment of the exoskeleton joint with the biological knee joint. For this purpose a cam mechanism has been ... -
Design of energy-efficient white portland cement mortars for digital fabrication
(Springer, 2020)Additive manufacturing, i.e. three-dimensional (3D) printing technology has many advantages over traditional processes and the related technology is continuously improving. This study aims to develop an energy- efficient ... -
Discovering frequent patterns to bootstrap trust
(Springer International Publishing, 2013)When a new agent enters to an open multiagent system, bootstrapping its trust becomes a challenge because of the lack of any direct or reputational evidence. To get around this problem, existing approaches assume the same ... -
A distant reading of the Ottoman/Turkish serial novel tradition (1831–1908)
(Springer Nature, 2019)The emergence and spread of the Turkish press and the birth of the Ottoman Turkish novel occurred simultaneously in the Ottoman Empire, when the press and the novel largely sustained each other. Most of the early Turkish ... -

(Istituto della Enciclopedia italiana fondata da Giovanni Treccani, 2020-09)Dubai is the capital of the Emirate of Dubai, part of the United Arab Emirates, in the Arabian Peninsula, on the western shores of the Persian Gulf, near the Strait of Hormuz. The discovery of oil fields, starting from ... -
Effort estimation for architectural refactoring to introduce module isolation
(Springer, 2014)The decomposition of software architecture into modular units is driven by both functional and quality concerns. Dependability and security are among quality concerns that require a software to be decomposed into separate ... -
European quality award winning companies: a situational analysis of tourism industry
(Emerald, 2016)The European Quality Award came into being in 1992. Since then, 42 organizations from various sectors have attained this internationally recognized award. Although the model of the award is considered as a single-generic ... -
Evolution of airline business models: The case of pegasus airlines
(Springer Nature, 2020)Pegasus Airlines has been an unique airline, as it changed its business model from a charter airline business model to a low-cost airline business model and is currently positioned itself with low-cost network carrier ... -
FAS: introducing a service for avoiding faults in composite services
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2012)In service-oriented architectures, composite services depend on a set of partner services to perform the required tasks. These partner services may become unavailable due to system and/or network faults, leading to an ... -

Finite approximations in discrete-time stochastic control : quantized models and asymptotic optimality
(Birkhäuser Basel, 2018)In a unified form, this monograph presents fundamental results on the approximation of centralized and decentralized stochastic control problems, with uncountable state, measurement, and action spaces. It demonstrates how ... -
Finite approximations in discrete-time stochastic control quantized models and asymptotic optimality introduction and summary
(Birkhäuser Basel, 2018)Control and optimization of dynamical systems in the presence of stochastic uncertainty is a mature field with a large range of applications. A comprehensive treatment of such problems can be found in excellent books and ... -
Finite model approximations in decentralized stochastic control
(Birkhäuser Basel, 2018)In this chapter, we study the approximation of static and dynamic team problems using finite models which are obtained through the uniform discretization, on a finite grid, of the observation and action spaces of agents. ... -
Finite-action approximation of Markov decision processes
(Birkhäuser Basel, 2018)In this chapter, we study the finite-action approximation of optimal control policies for discrete-time Markov decision processes (MDPs) with Borel state and action spaces, under discounted and average cost criteria. One ...
