Nanotechnology has been the subject of extensive ‘assessment hype,’ unlike any previous field of research and development. A multiplicity of stakeholders have started to analyze the implications of nanotechnology: Technology assessment institutions around the world, non-governmental organizations, think tanks, re-insurance companies, and academics from science and technology studies and applied ethics have turned their attention to this growing field’s implications. In the course of these assessment efforts, a social phenomenon has emerged – a phenomenon the editors define as assessment regime.Despite the variety of organizations, methods, and actors involved in the evaluation and regulation of emerging nanotechnologies, the assessment activities comply with an overarching scientific and political imperative: Innovations are only welcome if they are assessed against the criteria of safety, sustainability, desirability, and acceptability. So far, such deliberations and reflections have played only a subordinate role. This book argues that with the rise of the nanotechnology assessment regime, however, things have changed dramatically: Situated at the crossroads of democratizing science and technology, good governance, and the quest for sustainable innovations, the assessment regime has become constitutive for technological development.The contributions in this book explore and critically analyse nanotechnology’s assessment regime: To what extent is it constitutive for technology in general, for nanotechnology in particular? What social conditions render the regime a phenomenon sui generis? And what are its implications for science and society?

Cet ouvrage expose les fondements théoriques des méthodes classiques de la statistique (estimation et tests) ainsi que des approches introduites plus récemment. Les premiers chapitres sont consacrés aux notions de la théorie des probabilités, nécessaires à la statistique. Puis sont développés les tests et méthodes d'estimation dans les situations paramétriques et non paramétriques. Les modèles de base de la régression sont traités en fin d'ouvrage. Chaque chapitre est accompagné d'exemples concrets, mais aussi d'exercices - plus de 150 au total - dont les corrigés ont été intégrés dans cette deuxième édition. La présentation témoigne d'un réel souci pédagogique de l'auteur qui bénéficie d'une vaste expérience d'enseignement auprès de publics très variés. Les résultats exposés sont, autant que possible, replacés dans la perspective de leur utilité pratique. Le niveau mathématique requis rend ce livre accessible aux étudiants de premier cycle universitaire et aux chercheurs dans les divers domaines des sciences appliquées. Il sera donc utile aux étudiants devant aborder les aspects théoriques de la statistique ou aux utilisateurs, pour les assurer du choix judicieux des méthodes qu'ils emploient.

For you as an IT manager, changes in business models and fast-paced innovation and product lifecycles pose a big challenge: you are required to anticipate the impact of future changes, and to make rapid decisions backed up by solid facts. To be successful you need an overall perspective of how business and IT interact. What you need is a toolkit, enabling you to manage the enterprise from a helicopter viewpoint while at the same time accommodating quite detailed aspects of processes, organization, and software lifecycles. Strategic IT management embraces all the processes required to analyze and document an enterprise's IT landscape. Based on the experience of many projects and long discussions with both customers and academic researchers, Inge Hanschke provides you with a comprehensive and practical toolkit for the strategic management of your IT landscape. She takes a holistic view on the management process and gives guidelines on how to establish, roll out, and maintain an enterprise IT landscape effectively. She shows you how to do it right first time - because often enough there's no second chance. She tells you how to tidy up a IT patchworks - the first step towards strategic management - and she gives you advice on how to implement changes and maintain the landscape over time. The book's structure reflects the patterns that exist in strategic IT management from strategic planning to actual implementation. The presentation uses many checklists, guidelines, and illustrations, which will help you to immediately apply the content. So, if you are a CIO, an IT manager, a business manager, or an IT consultant, this is the book from which you'll benefit in most daily work situations.
