Global leadership has been frequently heralded by writers and executives as the key to sustained competitive advantage on the part of organizations. In addition, it is clear that the possession of leadership qualities and the display of leader behavior are requirements for individuals attempting to progress in their careers. It is important for aspiring managers to learn about the nature of effective global leadership and how they can develop their own competencies in this area. This textbook provides an important overview of this key emerging area within business and management. Offering a view into the nature of global leadership and the competencies necessary for aspiring managers to succeed, Global Leadership is essential reading for students of leadership, organizational theory, strategic management, human resource management, and for anyone working and managing in the global arena. Now in its second edition, it draws from recent research to both contemporize timeless topics and address today's relevant topics, from corporate social responsibility, to cultural competencies, to current technology.

A hands-on, problem-based introduction to building algorithms and data structures to solve problems with a computer. Algorithmic Thinking will teach you how to solve challenging programming problems and design your own algorithms. Daniel Zingaro, a master teacher, draws his examples from world-class programming competitions like USACO and IOI. You'll learn how to classify problems, choose data structures, and identify appropriate algorithms. You'll also learn how your choice of data structure, whether a hash table, heap, or tree, can affect runtime and speed up your algorithms; and how to adopt powerful strategies like recursion, dynamic programming, and binary search to solve challenging problems. Line-by-line breakdowns of the code will teach you how to use algorithms and data structures like: The breadth-first search algorithm to find the optimal way to play a board game or find the best way to translate a book Dijkstra's algorithm to determine how many mice can exit a maze or the number of fastest routes between two locations The union-find data structure to answer questions about connections in a social network or determine who are friends or enemies The heap data structure to determine the amount of money given away in a promotion The hash-table data structure to determine whether snowflakes are unique or identify compound words in a dictionary NOTE: Each problem in this book is available on a programming-judge website. You'll find the site's URL and problem ID in the description. What's better than a free correctness check?

This book is designed for the way we learn. This text is intended for one year (or two-semester) course in "C Programming and Data Structures". This is a very useful guide for undergraduate and graduate engineering students. Its clear analytic explanations in simple language also make it suitable for study by polytechnic students. Beginners and professionals alike will benefit from the numerous examples and extensive exercises developed to guide readers through each concept. Step-by-step program code clarifies the concept usage and syntax of C language constructs and the underlying logic of their applications. Data structures are treated with algorithms, trace of the procedures and then programs. All data structures are illustrated with simple examples and diagrams. The concept of "learning by example" has been emphasized throughout the book. Every important feature of the language is illustrated in depth by a complete programming example. Wherever necessary, pictorial descriptions of concepts are included to facilitate better understanding. The common C programs for the C & Data Structures Laboratory practice appended at the end of the book is a new feature of this edition. Exercises are included at the end of each chapter. The exercises are divided in three parts: (i) multiple-choice questions which test the understanding of the fundamentals and are also useful for taking competitive tests, (ii) questions and answers to help the undergraduate students, and (iii) review questions and problems to enhance the comprehension of the subject. Questions from GATE in Computer Science and Engineering are included to support the students who will be taking GATE examination.

The ten-year Japanese Fifth Generation Computer R&D project, managed by ICOT (the Institute for New Generation Computer Technology) began in 1982 with the aim of developing a new type of computer suitable for an information-oriented society. With the belief that it is essential to co-operate with researchers all over the world, ICOT has been promoting international research exchanges, including these top-level France-Japan symposia. This volume contains the papers presented by twelve French and twelve Japanese researchers at the second symposium. The following sessions were held: - fifth generation programming languages, methodologies and environments - models and programming languages for parallelism - automated deduction and symbolic computation - machine architectures dedicated to fifth generation languages - expert systems and natural language understanding systems.

Advances in Imaging Devices and Image processing stem from cross-fertilization between many fields of research such as Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics and Computer Sciences. This BioImaging Community feel the urge to integrate more intensively its various results, discoveries and innovation into ready to use tools that can address all the new exciting challenges that Life Scientists (Biologists, Medical doctors, ...) keep providing, almost on a daily basis. Devising innovative chemical probes, for example, is an archetypal goal in which image quality improvement must be driven by the physics of acquisition, the image processing and analysis algorithms and the chemical skills in order to design an optimal bioprobe. This book offers an overview of the current advances in many research fields related to bioimaging and highlights the current limitations that would need to be addressed in the next decade to design fully integrated BioImaging Device.

Developed from celebrated Harvard statistics lectures, Introduction to Probability provides essential language and tools for understanding statistics, randomness, and uncertainty. The book explores a wide variety of applications and examples, ranging from coincidences and paradoxes to Google PageRank and Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). Additional application areas explored include genetics, medicine, computer science, and information theory. The print book version includes a code that provides free access to an eBook version. The authors present the material in an accessible style and motivate concepts using real-world examples. Throughout, they use stories to uncover connections between the fundamental distributions in statistics and conditioning to reduce complicated problems to manageable pieces. The book includes many intuitive explanations, diagrams, and practice problems. Each chapter ends with a section showing how to perform relevant simulations and calculations in R, a free statistical software environment.
