Nature Inspired Cooperative Strategies for Optimization (NICSO 2007)

Biological and natural processes have been a continuous source of inspiration for the sciences and engineering. For instance, the work of Wiener in cybernetics was influenced by feedback control processes observable in biological systems; McCulloch and Pitts description of the artificial neuron was instigated by biological observations of neural mechanisms; the idea of survival of the fittest inspired the field of evolutionary algorithms and similarly, artificial immune systems, ant colony optimisation, automated self-assembling programming, membrane computing, etc. also have their roots in natural phenomena. The second International Workshop on Nature Inspired Cooperative Strategies for Optimization (NICSO), was held in Acireale, Italy, during November 8-10, 2007. The aim for NICSO 2007 was to provide a forum were the latest ideas and state of the art research related to cooperative strategies for problem solving arising from Nature could be discussed. The contributions collected in this book were strictly peer reviewed by at least three members of the international programme committee, to whom we are indebted for their support and assistance. The topics covered by the contributions include several well established nature inspired techniques like Genetic Algorithms, Ant Colonies, Artificial Immune Systems, Evolutionary Robotics, Evolvable Systems, Membrane Computing, Quantum Computing, Software Self Assembly, Swarm Intelligence, etc.

International Business and Global Climate Change

Climate change has become an important topic on the business agenda with strong pressure being placed on companies to respond and contribute to finding solutions to this urgent problem. This text provides a comprehensive analysis of international business responses to global climate change and climate change policy. Embedded in relevant management literature, this book gives a concise treatment of developments in policy and business activity on global, regional and national levels, using examples and systematic data from a large number of international companies. The first part outlines the international climate policy landscape and voluntary initiatives taken by companies, both alone and together with others. The second part examines companies’ strategies, covering innovation for climate change, as well as compensation via emissions trading and carbon offsetting. Written by well-known experts in the field, International Business and Global Climate Change illustrates how an environmental topic becomes strategically important in a mainstream sense, affecting corporate decision-making, business processes, products, reputation, advertising, communication, accounting and finance. This is a must-read for academics as well as practitioners concerned with this issue.

Assessing Student Perception of Social Media for Emergency Notification by a University

Under federal law (the Clery Act), Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) now have a legal responsibility to notify students in a timely manner about campus emergencies. Failure to comply may result in financial penalties from the U.S. Department of Education. Virginia Tech was fined $55,000 for failure to quickly warn their students of the shootings that occurred on its campus in 2007. Though IHEs are now being held responsible, there has been little guidance in identifying effective methods and in implementing timely notification procedures. This case study assesses student perceptions of the use of social media by universities to deliver emergency alerts. Social media have emerged as a real-time communication tool widely popular among college students. To examine the use of social media for emergency notification, a literature review and interviews with professionals in the field were conducted, and a survey instrument was developed. The survey instrument was then used to study student use and perceptions through an email survey distributed to the student population. The response rate was 9% of the student population of 20,472 who received the survey. The results revealed that a vast majority of students are in favor of using social media for emergency notifications by IHEs. There was much support for the current alert system and a Facebook emergency notification page. The results of this study provide IHE emergency management officials with empirical evidence to guide decisions about adopting methods to notify students during emergencies. The implications of this research will help IHEs notify students sooner, thus saving lives, and aid in avoiding financial penalties.
