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 ... -
The fifth automated negotiating agents competition (ANAC 2014)
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2016)In May 2014, we organized the Fifth International Automated Negotiating Agents Competition (ANAC 2014) in conjunction with AAMAS 2014. ANAC is an international competition that challenges researchers to develop a successful ... -
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 ... -
Finite-state approximation of Markov decision processes
(Springer, 2018)In this chapter we study the finite-state approximation problem for computing near optimal policies for discrete-time MDPs with Borel state and action spaces, under discounted and average costs criteria. Even though existence ... -
Food insecurity in the age of neoliberalism in Turkey and its neighbors
(Taylor & Francis, 2021)Drawing on national and international data sets, we argue in this chapter that food security is weaker in countries and regions where conflict (military unrest, civil war, etc.) and neoliberal agricultural policies coincide, ... -
Forecasting multivariate time-series data using LSTM and mini-batches
(Springer, 2020)Multivariate time-series data forecasting is a challenging task due to nonlinear interdependencies in complex industrial systems. It is crucial to model these dependencies automatically using the ability of neural networks ... -
Fragile transitions from education to employment Youth, gender and migrant status in the EU
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)N/A -
Free simulation software and library
(Springer, 2018-01-01)With the advent of powerful computation technologies and efficient algorithms, simulators became an important tool in most engineering areas. The field of humanoid robotics is no exception; there have been numerous simulation ... -
From digital to analogue: An interdisciplinary case study to enhance the communication of design products through physical constraints
(Springer, 2020)Emerging technologies have the potential to make everyday life easier with an increasing number of benefits. However, it is argued that digital products are developed from a techno-centric perspective rather than being ... -
From empires past to nation state: Figurative public statues in Istanbul
(Taylor & Francis, 2021)Statues, landmarks, and monumental architecture visibly mark and inscribe meaning into urban space. This is true everywhere, but it is particularly striking in Istanbul. When the Ottoman Turks conquered Constantinople in ... -
From Galata to Pera: Shifting borders in Ottoman Society (1453-1923)
(Springer International Publisher, 2021-06-01)Since ancient times the settlement of Galata was positioned on the Golden Horn opposite Byzantium. This area, that became the Genoese walled town, developed inside. Beyond the furthest northern point of the settlement, ... -
From lean towards frugal product development
(IGI Global, 2020-11-06)Frugal innovation is considered as a disruptive growth strategy for businesses that focuses on the utilization of limited resources of rural areas. Similarly, lean management targets to develop new products in accordance ... -
Galata waterfont: models, types, and the morphology of meaning in architecture
(LetteraVentidue, Siracusa, 2020)“Ars simia natura” (Boccaccio, 1360) is a concept that has cut in two the history of the arts. Hence the modern figurative revolution the misunderstanding of this notion it has depleted architecture to a mere branch of the ... -
Global trends in liquidity creation: The role of the off-balance sheet
(Peter Lang AG, 2019-03-28)Banks create liquidity by transforming liquid liabilities into illiquid assets and this is one of their main functions. Yet excessive liquidity creation, especially via off-balance sheet activities, might have contributed ... -
Governing without control: Turkey's “struggle” with international migration
(Ashgate Publishing Ltd., 2016)Since the 1980s, Turkey's role in the international migratory scene has changed substantially, as the country has transformed from being a country of origin to a country of destination and transit. Historical transformations ... -
Grassroots, municipality and labor in the circular economy: The need of a street-level analysis in the European Union and Turkey
(Peter Lang Publishing Group, 2020)Ebru Tekin Bilbil Grassroots, Municipality and Labor in the Circular Economy: The Need of a Street-Level Analysis in the European Union and Turkey Introduction Following the highest turnover of the European Parliament ... -
Grey market e-shopping and trust building practices in China
(Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd., 2008)In the last decade, the wide use of the Internet, particularly through the proliferation of broadband, has dramatically changed the behaviour and lifestyle of many people. China, as a fast-growing emerging economy with a ...
