This book presents state-of-the-art technical contributions based around one of the most successful evolutionary optimization algorithms published to date: Harmony Search. Contributions span from novel technical derivations of this algorithm to applications in the broad fields of civil engineering, energy, transportation & mobility and health, among many others and focus not only on its cross-domain applicability, but also on its core evolutionary operators, including elements inspired from other meta-heuristics. The global scientific community is witnessing an upsurge in groundbreaking, new advances in all areas of computational intelligence, with a particular flurry of research focusing on evolutionary computation and bio-inspired optimization. Observed processes in nature and sociology have provided the basis for innovative algorithmic developments aimed at leveraging the inherent capability to adapt characterized by various animals, including ants, fireflies, wolves and humans. However, it is the behavioral patterns observed in music composition that motivated the advent of the Harmony Search algorithm, a meta-heuristic optimization algorithm that over the last decade has been shown to dominate other solvers in a plethora of application scenarios. The book consists of a selection of the best contributions presented at ICHSA, a major biannual event where leading global experts on meta-heuristic optimization present their latest findings and discuss the past, present, and future of the exciting field of Harmony Search optimization. It provides a valuable reference resource for researchers working in the field of optimization meta-heuristics, and a solid technical base for frontline investigations around this algorithm.

Für die zeitgeschichtliche Analyse populärkultureller Phänomene wird ein Mehrwert transnationaler Perspektiven gern behauptet, aber selten empirisch eingelöst. Dieser Band versammelt hingegen Fallstudien, die ausnahmslos mehrere Länder betrachten und konsequent vergleichs-, transfer- und verflechtungsgeschichtlich angelegt sind. Sie fokussieren Musik und Film, Fernsehen und Radio, Zeitschriften und Comics, Jugendkultur und Mode. Das Erkenntnisinteresse richtet sich nicht nur auf den Abgleich von Amerikanisierungs- und Europäisierungstrends in den langen 1960er Jahren, sondern auch auf die Relevanz transnationaler Populärkultur für gesellschaftliche und politisch-kulturelle Wandlungsprozesse. »Der Band zeigt [...] überzeugend den Wert eines flexiblen Begriffs von Populärkultur und die Unverzichtbarkeit transnationaler Perspektiven für die Beschreibung und Analyse soziokulturellen und politischen Wandels unter der Bedingung zunehmender globaler Verflechtungen.« Michael G. Esch, Comparativ, 1 (2020) »Der Band [zeigt] in vielerlei Hinsicht das Potenzial, das eine Beschäftigung mit der Populärkultur birgt.« Jörg Requate, H-Soz-u-Kult, 20.12.2018 Besprochen in: www.sehepunkte.de, 19/6 (2019), Bodo Mrozek

Wie wird aus einem Ort ein Investitionsstandort, aus einem Gebäude ein Asset und aus all dem ein Anlagemarkt, auf dem täglich Kapitalströme auf den Weg gebracht werden? Zentraler Bestandteil dieser Transformation von Immobilien zu einer Kapitalanlage ist deren Einpassung in die kalkulativen Schemata der Finanzmärkte. Kerstin Bläser analysiert finanzmathematische Kalkulationsweisen und arbeitet heraus, welche Funktionen diese Verfahren innerhalb von Investmentfirmen haben. Die Studie bietet so einen profunden Einblick in die Rationalitätskonstruktionen finanzmarktlichen Handelns im gegenwärtigen Finanzkapitalismus. »Die Stärke ist fraglos die Darstellung der Rationalitäten der Akteure von ›Finanzmarktumwelten‹ abseits der Zahlenräume und füllt damit zweifellos eine Lücke in der bisherigen geographischen Immobilienmarktforschung bzw. schärft den Blick für die finanzielle Vermarktlichung der Land- und Gebäudeentwicklung.« Fabian Thiel, Erdkunde, 74/1 (2020)

In the last few years, the society is witnessing ever-growing levels of complexity in the optimization paradigms lying at the core of different applications and processes. This augmented complexity has motivated the adoption of heuristic methods as a means to balance the Pareto trade-off between computational efficiency and the quality of the produced solutions to the problem at hand. The momentum gained by heuristics in practical applications spans further towards hyper-heuristics, which allow constructing ensembles of simple heuristics to handle efficiently several problems of a single class. In this context, this short book compiles selected applications of heuristics and hyper-heuristics for combinatorial optimization problems, including scheduling and other assorted application scenarios.

Der Siedlungshügel Tall Zirā’a, im Wādī al-‘Arab in Jordanien gelegen, war mindestens 5000 Jahre lang ohne Unterbrechung besiedelt und gewährt einzigartige Einblicke in die Lebenswelt der Menschen jener Region. Eine artesische Quelle in seiner Mitte hat über Jahrtausende optimale Siedlungsbedingungen geschaffen, weshalb der Ort von besonderem archäologischem Interesse ist: Er bietet die seltene Möglichkeit, eine vergleichende Stratigraphie Nordjordaniens von der Frühbronzezeit bis zur Islamischen Zeit zu erstellen und damit kulturelle Entwicklungen im städtischen Leben, im Handwerk und in der Religionsgeschichte über lange Zeiträume hinweg nachzuverfolgen. Zudem können reichlich vorhandene Überreste aus biblischer Zeit in einem weitgefassten kulturellen und historischen Kontext untersucht werden. Im Rahmen des »Gadara Region Project« haben Archäologen zehn Jahre lang am Tall Zirā’a gegraben. Die Ergebnisse der Grabungssessionen werden in geplanten neun Bänden in englischer Sprache präsentiert.

Las contribuciones de este libro resaltan la dimensión ética, en cuanto parte integrante de contextos culturales concretos, en escritos literarios que tematizan acontecimientos centrales del siglo XX. El volumen abre así un debate sobre el tema "Ética y literatura" a través de estudios de textos concretos. La hipótesis principal es que los dilemas morales y los problemas éticos revelan la condición de la literatura en cuanto campo de experimentación imaginario de posibles actuaciones.

Das vorliegende Werk "Lernwerkstatt als Prinzip - Möglichkeiten für Lehre und Forschung" greift als dritter Band der Reihe "Lernen und Studieren in Lernwerkstätten" die Frage nach den Möglichkeiten des Prinzips Lernwerkstattarbeit als produktivem Moment hochschuldidaktischer Entwicklungen auf. Aktuell existieren kontrovers diskutierte Bemühungen, die Ausbildung von angehenden PädagogInnen und ErziehungswissenschaftlerInnen in einen engeren Praxis- sowie Forschungszusammenhang zu stellen. Hierbei nehmen Lernwerkstätten als Hochschuleinrichtungen eine zentrale Rolle ein. Trotz diverser Formen und Grundlagen werden Hochschullernwerkstätten von einem grundlegenden Verständnis geeint: Lernwerkstattarbeit als Prinzip. In den Beiträgen dieses Bandes loten die AutorInnen das Potenzial von Lernwerkstattarbeit für Lehre und Forschung im Wissenschaftskontext facettenreich aus.
